O'Connor is homegrown, not an import. He's the offspring of Jake and Abbey (retired). He takes after his father in that he's another love bug, he takes after his mother in that he's confident and relaxed. After that, he's all himself. He's much bigger than either Abbey or Jake and he's not quite done yet. I don't know where he gets that. He has a way of moving that is very smooth and fluid, so much so that others comment on how much they like the way he moves and enjoy watching him. He just flows, where Abbey prances and Jake runs. O'Connor lopes.
He also does this crazy thing with moles. He can hear them in the ground, so he has this "hunting" routine. He pounces twice, barks three times and then digs at the ground. Over and over again. It's a hoot to watch, but to my knowledge he doesn't have any "kills" to his name. So sometimes, I just shake my head when watching his mole hunting and think, "Oh, smooth move."
As you can see from the pictures, he's very calm and relaxed inside. He's not much for tennis balls, in fact, he thinks fetching is a contact sport. You throw the ball, everyone runs for it and he runs after the group trying to decide which dog to tackle, usually Lily Love.
He is AKC registered and hip, elbow and heart checked.
