Meet Poppy! Poppy is handsome and stands out for his shiny black coat, and chocolate brown eyes! Poppy was surrendered as he said to his owners, `I really enjoy being in the spotlight, I am the star of the show!` In simple terms, he did like playing with the two dogs in the household, but when he said something is his, it`s his. Imagine if you have your things and then someone keeps taking them, you would be a little annoyed, right? That is how we describe Poppy to people, what is his is his! Poppy does walk well on the leash, and he knows his basic commands such as `sit`, but do have a tasty treat ready to reward him! He would do best in a household where he can be your one and only, the true apple of your eye!
