Perfect! I can't imagine a sweeter better dog. They both went to work with me and nearly everywhere else I went. People adore them wherever they go. Super smart and well behaved and neither shed at all.

My puppy does not drool at all, and she rarely barks. She is a F1B but not hypoalergenic. She is great with kids.
