[Oscar's Mummy]

The breeder I got Oscar from bred puppies to help support her love of showing dogs. There were only two puppies (I think?) from Oscar's litter and he was 4 mths when I got him. The breeder was keeping his brother until he was 7 or 8 mths because she felt he had good potential as a showdog. Oscar is going to have really light coloring and he had an extremely timid temperament, whereas his brother was much darker, had a much nicer, thicker coat (she was concerned though that he'd end up with a cottony coat, and if he did, she would be selling him as well - I guess she would have a better idea by the time he was 8mths or so...). and he was also more playful and outgoing. Oscar's parents were both showdogs (both beautiful) and he still came out with some "undesirable" traits (he's also undershot). I think dogs vary as much as humans do - You just never know what you're going to get! I bought him as a pet though - so none of this matters to me!
