Rain

Rain is such an interesting mix of both of his parents! From his father he got a very loving and cuddly side... a natural therapy dog by heart. He also inherited Saba's easy going, no worries approach to life. From his mother he got a HUGE obsession with retrieving and a bit of an independent attitude. Rain LOVES toys more than anything… especially squeaky toys… and just goes about his day making games up on his own if no one joins in. One of his favourite games is to carry around massive pieces of concrete. He even talks to them!

I questioned Rain's coat when he was just a young pup and wondered whether he too may be long coated like Bear. He's not but he does carry the trait and I do believe it has made his coat longer as a result. His top coat is silky and longer than either of his parents.

Rain is a stunning boy both inside and out… a very easy going, gentle spirit with great health testing results. I look forward to having him as part of the breeding lineup at Skylit.
