Dior is officially our 9th bred-by Champion!

This girl is such a sweet lover.  She reminds me so much of her grandmother.  She loves to patrol the property and is just as happy to lay down outside as inside in almost any weather.  Dior is the 9th champion produced from our breeding program.  She has been such an easy puppy to raise, and we love her sweet cuddles when we sit down in the evenings. She travels well, enjoys camping, loves other dogs and other people – although she likes to make the introductions rather than be descended upon by strangers. She is also a caretaker of the other dogs, often found cleaning them, and leading them to bed when I go to work or at nighttime. She really is an all-around amazing little lady. I plan to hold her out of showing until spring as I am hoping her first heat cycle will help her develop some substance – she is so dainty and feminine the judges found her ‘elegant’ but I’d still like her to beef up a bit. 🙂
