Meet our mama Sunflower! Sunflower arrived to us some months ago, very pregnant and ready to pop! She gave birth to some wonderfully, adorable puppies who have all found their forever homes. Now, Sunflower waits for her turn! She has made leaps and bounds on her path to learning her manners and commands. With one treat in your hand, she is ready to be at service! Sunflower does well in our calmer playgroups, enjoying moseying with dogs and nicely playing. She`s not a fan of the wild children who are all up in her business. No one is a stranger to her and she is fast to jump up for affection and lovins. We do recommend Sunflower goes home with older kids as she`s quiet a chunky gal who loves to be physical with her love. If you need sunshine everyday-look no further, this sunflower blooms in all seasons!
