aka "Potamus"

(Ch. Brookside's Worth the Weight CGC X Ch. Sherwood's Anticipatience CGC)

Our male keeper out of this exciting breeding, Potamus is everything we were looking for.
Conformationally he has great bone, decent angulation, a wonderful large skull with plenty of wrinkle and a ton of pigment, he is very wide in front and wide enough in the rear. For the moment ,w e are absolutely thrilled with him and are torn between wanting to see how he matures, and wishing he would stay just as he is for a bit longer...he is a soft, warm , and sweet puppy. He gives very gentle face lickies and loves children, babies, and anything else that smells like it may recently have eaten something.
He sleeps on his back alot, likes to hoist himself up onto the sofa; but is in danger of falling off once he relaxes.

Potamus is such a love bug; he is a mix of Owen and Patience's personalities; he has some of Owen's "observer" traits ; warmed by Patience's "sugar".
What a little lovebug he is!
