Talk about an armful of love!! We would like to introduce Marley and
his new best friend in the whole world, Kelia Espinal. Marley is a
beautiful Komondor puppy, born on July 12, 2001, and pictured here at
his first Puppy Plan appointment on September 27th
when he weighed 16.7 pounds. As the American Kennel Club says on
their website regarding this breed, "The
Komondor is a serious dog who loves the outdoors. He can think for himself,
since his ancestors usually protected sheep with no people nearby. These
qualities mean he does best in a family that knows how to handle a bold dog who
needs plenty of room to run.
The Komondor is a member of the Working Group and was first recognized by the
AKC in 1937.
Both Kelia and Travis Martin tell us that Marley is just a big friendly puppy who gets in trouble doing things that all puppies do, like chewing shoes!! The Komondor breed is one that we don't see very often in Florida, so it will be especially fun to watch this interesting puppy grow up! He looks like great big lovable teddy bear to us!!
Here is Marley at his next
appointment on October 18th when he weighed 27 pounds! Kelia tells us that
they bought Marley because he is so unique - what a great living teddy
bear!!
