Hi Katherina,
I'm Patti from Valdez, Goldie and Diablo are two Brier pups. They love to
surf the counter, and still paper towel napkins and I feed them fruit and
veggies they love it! they are on part raw diet, I never fed them puppy
food, and Diablo grows slowly, and they both have a wonderful disposition.
Great temperament, Sam's dad is Seajay and he's Goldie brother. So my Goldie
is Sam's untie.
I hope you will come to Valdez, bring Sam and we can have some fun, let me
know.

Have a great day and happy Mother's Day.

Patti Oftedal.
