About Clover
Named for our kennel, Clover is our youngest dam and the one who made us fall in love with red merles all over again. She's playful, affectionate, and has a natural gift for reading people. We're excited to see what she brings to future litters.
Personality
Clover is pure joy in a red merle coat. She's the first to the door, the last to settle, and the one who will absolutely steal your heart before you've even sat down. She has a wonderful off-switch for a young dog and is already proving herself to be a thoughtful, attentive companion.
Breeding Goals
Clover is paired only with MDR1 Normal/Normal sires, so her Carrier status has no impact on her puppies — none will be affected. She brings beautiful type, a vibrant red merle coat, and an affectionate, people-focused temperament.
