"Valentino"
Brivali's Good Old-fashioned Lover Boy CGC ATT
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 approximately 23" at the withers and weighs about 45 pounds. He's one major shy of his AKC championship. We've taken a break from showing for the time being, allowing him time to mature, but plan to bring him back out when he's a bit older to finish him in AKC conformation and then special him. We also plan to 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.
