"Zeppie" is the smiley faced member of the family always trotting around with a big cheesy grin on his face.
A very affectionate dog, Zeppie loves nothing more than to come inside and sit as close as possible to us.
If it isn't his turn to come in he sits on top of his pen and looks through the window to see what the
human members of his family are doing.
He is a very agile boy, and when visitors arrive he puts on the big smile and shows them how clever he is,
by jumping up on top of his crate and putting his head through the window to get a pat.
Although Zeppie has had his title for a long time now, he still has to come to every show - if we decide
to leave him at home the neighbours say he howls from the time we leave until the time we return.
Zep is often used in child handler classes, as he is a dog who will really move for the person
handling him, however, the youngsters who use him for these classes really need to think about what
they are doing when they want him to stack, as Zeppie has his own ideas on how this should be done.
He is a great ambassador for the breed with his loving, cuddly nature.
