Desmond
Moodyblues Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da at Virtu TKN
aliases: Desi
I'm from the Moodyblues' "The Beetles" litter - born 4/3/2023
My mom is Zelda (Bobbilees Race Like an Ace FCAT, SC, CA) and my dad is Zeppola
(CH Almawhip Albinoni vs Star Wars for Moodyblues)
These are my peeps: Ragan, David, and the “little” peeps…Tatum, Ayden, and Henley
We live in Poquoson, Virginia
My favorite activities are: I LOVE to run and be chased by other dogs, especially the slower ones, which are most any other dogs who aren’t sighthounds. :) I like to learn new things and hang out with my people. I also love to play fetch, play tug, and go on long trail walks. And I can make anything a fun game! I'm a happy go lucky, super sweet boy!
I have tried... lure coursing, obedience, and a little agility
Someday I might want to try.... AKC FastCAT because that involves more running and chasing! I'm registered to start taking Barn Hunt classes as well. I think I might really enjoy finding the rats!
My titles and awards include...AKC Star Puppy and AKC Trick Dog title (TKN).
I share my peeps with:
King Arthur- 5yrs Persian Cat, Vivian- 3yrs Persian Cat, Matcha- 2yrs Ragdoll Cat
I eat Kirkland Signature Chicken and Rice and ProPlan Complete Essential with some added Omega 3’s, digestive enzymes, and probiotics.
My peeps' favorite meal is: Mexican and Italian food, and to drink is iced tea
My favorite snack is ALLLLLL the treats, foods, and scraps I can get my chompers on! I also love to chew on bully sticks, yak chews, and cow ears.
My favorite toy is my HurriK9 - It is a high flying fun factory!
I also LOVE chasing my orange and white frisbee!
I get my outfits from Trendy Whippet and TrendyHound is my choice for martingale collars!
The worst thing I ever chewed up was... I have an affinity for Chap Stick…If I see or hear the sound of chap stick, I get excited because I want to chew up ALL the Chap Sticks!
Something interesting that you might not know about me: I was born with a cleft palate. Debby got my sister and I to a special group that helps to save cleft palate puppies by tube feeding us every few hours for the first 3 weeks of our lives. (Compassion for Canines) My sister and I went there when we were just a few hours old and we survived!!! Dogs can actually live a full life and manage quite fine with a cleft palate, For the most part, we figure how to eat and drink and keep it cleaned out ourselves!
