🐾 Anything Else You Want Us To Know About How Awesome You Are?

I am suuuuuch a good boy! I protect the house and all the food! No one can secretly eat anything without my witness or a taste test! The licking after a meal is just for safety checks, not personal interest. 😉 And stop talking about me standing on your belly when hearing things from the front door, IT IS FOR PROTECTION, MOM!! And I am not that heavy, okay? (lowkey it kind of hurts. - from his mom helping with typing) So I for sure deserve loads of treats and chews! I am so proud of myself 🥰

🐾 What Were The Top Reasons You Chose SSH as Your Breeder?

Maggie is one of my top reasons for choosing SSH, she is just the dream girl I can think of. And once I started to chat with Jill about details, I got more and more certain that I would never regret getting a puppy from her (And I don't regret it!). Jill is just so responsible and LOVES answering any questions or concerns I have. Whether it's the puppy's temperament, preparing to welcome our fur baby, or the training details after I bring Chilli home, she always answers with great patience and in great detail. I know it will never go wrong to choose a puppy from such a caring and detail-oriented breeder!!
