Breeder Comments: This is the first litter for Mom,"Giggles," daughter of Patchwork's Mister Bojangles. Dad, Caleb, has sired several very nice litters of pups and seems to pass on his straight, solid bone structure as well as the very special personality which comes through him from his mom, Patchwork's Wild Rose.  This litter has been especially nice to raise as they all have very relaxed and easy-to-work-with dispositions. This has also been a very consistent litter, as far as quality goes, with all having nice substantial bone, nice conformation and beautiful thick coats.

Black Tri Female
Breeder comments: "These pictures don't do this little sweetie justice. She is an absolute rag-doll  as far as laying her on her back and getting tummy rubs, which she loves better than anything else in life so far.  She has a thick, plush coat and a stout little body with lots of substance. She is nice enough to be considered breed quality but would make a sweet and gentle pet as well. She is available!"  But not anymore, because we took her!
