Larkspur
May Flowers (Aubrey × Lyra) · Male · Red Tri
Confident & Adaptable
Larkspur is a wonderfully grounded, self-assured puppy who meets the world with quiet confidence — he's the kind of dog who notices everything, takes it in stride, and looks to his people for what comes next. He showed a bold, easygoing response to physical touch and visual stimulation, suggesting he may adapt readily to the busy, unpredictable energy of an active household, children included. Larkspur would likely thrive with a family that enjoys involving their dog in everyday adventures and is ready to channel his capable, engaged nature through consistent, positive guidance.
