Spring was our “giving girl”. She loved to bring her most treasured toys and share them with the human members of the household. She was quite persistent with the sharing game and expected the recipient to do their part. Otherwise, the sharing game couldn’t continue and that was very disappointing for Spring. For her, the joy was in the giving and receiving. When she was satisfied with the number and quality of toys at your feet or in your lap, she was a happy camper. When Spring was a happy camper her tail wagged so hard it was a wonder she didn’t beaten herself to death with it. She was definitely people-oriented, entirely devoted to “her people “, their happiness and their protection. Spring was always right next to Hunter defending the homestead from any real or perceived intrusion but was sweet and playful with friends. Spring had a well balanced, loving temperament, correct structure and a gorgeous glossy black coat. We were so very happy with our lovely girl.

Diva was our slightly less boisterous girl, our “thinker”. Although she was energetic and athletic, she was less likely to be in the midst of mayhem. Diva preferred to sit back and watch the others get into trouble. Diva’s more calm temperament was an asset when traveling. She went to Canada with us more than once and each time she had a happy reunion with the children she met there. Diva was a very sweet girl, affectionate, and very intelligent. She adapted to new situations and learned new exercises quickly. Structurally, Diva was a nice size girl with a gorgeous, rich, deep chocolate coat. As she matured, she became an outstanding adult, a wonderful combination of brains and beauty.
