Patch: When is his favorite play time?
You:  First thing in the morning.....he is full of energy!

Patch: What tricks can he do?
Champion:  He is very quick to go after his toys. He can jump up in the air and flip over sometimes. Not on command but typically when we play with his squeaky toys.

Patch: Does your pet beg for table-scraps? If so, does he have a favorite?
Champion: No, we don’t give him our food. We are kind of strict about that, but he eats very holistically.

Patch: Does he get along with cats?
Champion: Um...did we say CAT? He can be very aggressive with my 9yr old Tabby for a little guy...relentless! But overall it’s a good relationship.

Patch: Has he taken a particular liking to any frequent visitors? aka - mailman, trash collector, fedex guy, etc
Champion: He loves ALL people when they walk In the door. Very friendly and outgoing. But he loves his “mama” the most!

Patch: Anything else unique about your dog?
Champion: He’s smart and incredibly quick. Doesn’t miss a beat. He will sit at your foot with his toy, staring at you until you pick it up and play with it. Very lovable!
