This litter was a repeat of the Surfing Litter using different littermates, and this time no "black Tervs." The Shakespeare kids have lived up to their names, entertaining their owners in true Shakespearean fashion with creativity and verve! I am especially proud that four dogs from this litter have passed the rigorous Therapy Dogs International (TDI) certification test, which requires exceptional temperament and stability. Shakespeare and dogs, now there's the rub!
