When Chico (RETIRED) was purchased, he already had a very successful breeding career in Canada. I had admired him and his puppies from afar until serendipity appeared and I was able to purchase him along with another breeder for our programs. A more happy guy would be hard to find! Chico greets you at the door with friendly barks and a wildly wagging tail. He has definitely earned a well deserved retirement.

PEDIGREE:
Joyce, it is so fun to read all these bio's, and the wonderful descriptions you provide! What a stunning group of dogs! I'm happy to say that Albert has inherited the charming habit of the "head tilt," one of the most endearing traits of a listening dog :-) Granted, on Albert it often comes across as confusion, but I put that down to his young age, not his inherent intelligence, which is too well documented to be in question.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to all of you, two-legged and four, at Annabelle Doodles!
Thanks, Kelly and Happy New Year to you and your family as well! Since my son has 'reconfigured' AnnaBlog, I have been spending many hours on the 'behind the scenes' work that needs to be done for the future navigational buttons. It will just make everything easier for clients, me and other breeders. It takes hours and hours but I need to be done with my part before my first litter arrives in February. Chop, chop!!! :+)
