"This is my Pomeranian x Schipperke mix dog Beau (French for handsome). We usually call him “Beau Chum”. He weighs 15lbs and turned 12 years old on July 9th of this year. "
"Beau is an amazing companion dog and wants nothing more than to be with his pack, my wife, myself, our lemon Fox Hound and our Plott Hound. He is trilingual (French English and dog!). "
"Beau loves chasing squirrels and going for his walks in the woods. He will not leave his pack and does not need to be leashed. "
"Beau is extremely emotionally connected, so much so that he gets sick/ unwell when ever my wife or I are under stress from work or school. He LOVES winter and snow, and rolls around in the snow every day it is present. He will galavant for hours on our acreage, especially when it’s not too hot. Speaking of which he easily overheats with his long thick coat. "
"Beau is sooo soft, and requires very little maintenance, which we find surprising as his coat is so long and thick. He is good with our flock of chickens, regularly sitting amongst them eating the snacks (fruits and veggies) we give them. He also gets along great with our cats."
"Beau is a good communicator, always letting us know if he is hungry, wants to go out, or wants to go to bed (he loves bed time at the foot of our bed..). At 12 years old, he suffers from collapsing traquia, and a slipping knee cap. Both are managed with a good glucosamine supplement. Otherwise the vets say he is in impeccable health."
