I had been looking for a dog with some genetic diversity to add to my breeding program, and having met Alla, her family, and her dogs at the 2012 CDCA National Specialty decided Nutmeg's litter fit the bill. It was Harvey's adorable little face that melted me the first picture I saw, and thankfully he was eventually chosen, with the help of Cathi Oskow, as the pick male puppy and flew east to join me. However, I never expected the amount of personality loaded in his small package and continue to be amazed at his ability to attract people like the pied piper. Every where he goes, his coloring, shiny dark eyes, happy personality and mischievous nature add to his ever-growing fan club. Everyone loves Happy Harv! At the ripe old age of 9 months, he has already become a seasoned goodwill ambassador for the breed. He handles everything we ask of him in stride, and with little training, managed his first road trip and show circuit better than many seasoned dogs, gaiting around the ring like he knew just what to do. He's a very special young man with a bright future. Thank you Alla -- you can be very proud of him!
