Blossom, APAW’s Smile Sunshine My Way CGC

  • Born: August 29, 2012
  • Breed: Standard Poodle
  • Coloring: Blue
  • Distinctions: Mother to the E and F litters, Canine Good Citizen

Blossom is a sweet, loving, spunky girl who has no idea that she is older than her puppyhood most days. She is lively, intelligent, inventive and entertaining, remembering things that make you laugh and repeating them with dramatic flair. She can open vittles vaults (sealed food containers), lock doors (reverse Houdini?) and generally make anyone’s day brighter just by showing up. Her task training includes but is not limited to: behavior disruption (several methods), giving deep pressure, retrieving objects and carrying objects. She has done therapy work in the past, serving as a reading dog for local children during her years of training. If you see us out and about, please be sure to ask her boy if you may say hello. Blossom is always keen on friendly greetings but sometimes, her boy simply is not prepared to cope with it and requires her full attention.
