Personality
Merida is a pleasure to have around. Her calm confidence is charming and her perspective on the world makes it hard to have a bad day when you’re in her presence. She’s easy to train and we are looking forward to her puppies following with these traits.
Why She's in the Program
Merida is a beautiful continuation of Maisy’s lines. She has all the wonderful qualities of her mother, but in a more petite frame. We are excited to offer this line and the smaller size making work as a therapy dog more adaptable.
Why We Love Her
Merida is an old soul. She’s happy sitting outside all day, taking in the sights and smells. She takes the world in one moment at a time. Sometimes we aren’t sure if she knows she’s a dog.
She takes pride in her role in the family, making sure she greets us when we come home and she’s more than happy to sit with us on the couch for a little Netflix binging.
She is confident in her position, helping the younger pups learn the rules. Merida learns easily, loving to please the person she’s with.
We love her smaller stature, we believe it’ll serve a wider array of people, allowing them to take puppies in her lines more places, where a smaller dog more easily meets the needs of the situation.
Best Nose in the Kennel
My husband and son went out hunting one morning, they snuck out, were very quiet, had all the odor blocking gear so as to blend in as much as possible. About 30 minutes into their hunt their spot was given up by sweet Merida. Despite all their attempts at covering their tracks, she followed their scent trail and greeted them with a wagging tail.
Ready for a Puppy?
The best way to start the process is with a puppy application. We pride ourselves on helping you find the right puppy for your family, the puppy application helps us better understand your needs. There are no right or wrong answers.
