This litter was a repeat of the Surfing Litter using different littermates, and this time no "black Tervs." The Shakespeare litter was designed with performance in mind, and all went to performance homes where they are entertaining their owners in true Shakespearean fashion, with creativity and verve! I am especially proud that four dogs from this litter have passed the very rigorous Therapy Dogs International (TDI) certification test, which requires exceptional temperament as well as obedience and sensitivity.
