Why She's in the Program
Why We Love Her
Willow is a dream dog. She is everything you could want in a Lab and more. While she’s a sweet girl, what we particularly love about her is her willingness to work with humans. When she walks into the room, she’s not distracted by the other dogs, for her, the world stops and she looks at me, she reads my emotions at such a depth that sometimes I question if she’s human.
Her desire to be with us in a comfortable, but not pushy way is what really caught our attention as a breeder. This dog is intelligent beyond what you could ask for in a dog. She’s easy, she listens, and she’s very emotionally balanced, and reliable. This is exactly what we hope to produce with her puppies.
The feedback from trainers is more than we could hope for: they all love Willow, they love how she takes to training, with a strong desire to please and engage with whatever activity she’s tasked with. She does well with the other dogs and yet she thrives with people. If they get cloning-for-dogs organized, Willow would be top of the list.
Willow Earned her Canine Good Citizen Certificate
At 8 months old, Willow cruised through her training and socialization and effortlessly earned her Canine Good Citizen Certificate. This certificate tests a dog’s ability to maintain their composure, manners, and obedience in a new environment and with unknown dogs. Willow did it with ease and this was just one more reason we had to have her in our breeding program.
We Almost Got Kicked Out of Puppy Class…
She did so well at puppy class that other people and puppies were starting to get uncomfortable, we started getting those looks like, “Hey, this is for beginners, not advanced students.” But, truth be told, she was in her first class. Needless to say, she won more treats and received the most stink eyes.
