Hello from Carlsbad! I recently drove up north to see Stiller, Violet, and Charlotte! These adorable pups live in a gorgeous house with their wonderful parents, and I absolutely loved exploring their backyard & neighborhood together! These dogs are so funny – they all have such distinct personalities! Let me introduce you!

This is Violet, the smooth fox terrier! She’s completely food-motivated, and I would even describe her as treat-obsessed! Haha, whenever we opened the treat bag, she came running over (if she wasn’t already sitting nicely at our feet). And I have to say, I was glad – because dogs that are so treat-motivated make themselves super-easy to work with! So she was more than willing to pose for the camera and shine that gorgeous smile at me all afternoon long. :)

This is Stiller, also a smooth fox terrier! I have to admit, since this is such a rare breed, I’d actually never worked with a smooth fox terrier before meeting Stiller & Violet… but now I can’t wait to meet another one! Stiller was so easygoing and fun to work with. As much as Violet loves treats, he can’t get enough of his ball! We went to the neighborhood park to play fetch, and although he slowed down & got tired after a while, I think he would play for hours if he could! So eventually he was resting in the grass, ready with a head-tilt whenever I said “do you wanna go for a walk?” Haha – too cute!

And this little princess is Charlotte! She’s relaxing back home, after we finished our walk & playtime at the park. All three dogs were pretty tuckered out at this point, but something tells me Miss Charlotte just wanted to look pretty for the camera no matter how tired she was! :)  How cute are those big eyes & little ears?!

Serrina & Mike, thank you so much for showing me around your home & neighborhood! I had a great time with all five of you, and I’m so excited to show you the rest of our photos! :)
