Brivali's Good Old-fashioned Lover Boy
"Valentino"
Valentino, true to his namesake, is one of the sweetest, most loving dogs you will ever meet. He is very affectionate and loves to cuddle, always resting his head on your chest. He has an incredible temperament, very friendly and easy-going--nothing fazes him. He's a perpetually happy boy, always upbeat with his tail wagging on high. He loves to please, and is very easy to train. Structurally, he's very well put together with a stunning head piece, level top line, square body, and balanced angulation. He's still a growing boy--at just about a year old now, he is approximately 23" at the withers and weighs about 45 pounds. We plan to finish him in AKC conformation and then trial him in rally and agility. Once he's old enough, and pending completion of health testing, we plan to use him in our breeding program.
