Ready for Retirement! Reduced Fee! Searching for a Lap!
Some of your may have spotted this guy on the end of the lead for our kids at the Black Swamp Gun Dog show back in October. He has been hanging out in our home since that show as we got to know him a little better and while we tyr to find him a home just right for him! He is such a lovely, sweet, cuddly little guy. He is a DREAM in the show ring. He is an Emerald Grand Champion and previously was in the Top 10! We would like to keep
him accessible for our Junior Handler but it is not required. Guardianship includes free boarding/grooming and we would borrow him for an estimated 6 weekends a year, as needed (most importantly and specifically in June for UKC Premier). If just the right retirement home came along, we would let him go without any obligation to share him. Ultimatley, his happiness is what matters most to us and he deserves to find his forever home as soon as possible.
Chief is 5 years old, born 6/11/2019, and is a blue Miniature Poodle that weighs less than 20 lbs. Crate trained, leash trained, loves to play tug and fetch. He loves to cuddle on the couch and he would love to help someone enjoy their retirement or he is content to stay home and wait for his person to return from work. He can live with other respectful friendly dogs or he can be an only dog. He does have one luxating patella, not currently symptomatic, but it is Grade 2 so its best if he avoids playing rough with large dogs, doing many stairs or repetitive fetching, and he is not a candidate for agility or other high impact performance sports. The specialist that diagnosed his Patella as Grade 2 suggested joint supplements with a optimistic attitude that if injury is avoided and he is exercised mindfully, he may never need surgery.
