Meet Bailey
Breed: Japanese Spitz
Barking from: Singapore
What's up dog?
Bailey has brought a renewed dimension of how the breed should have been should it be bred properly. He was from Talbothights Kennel situated in Gore, Southland, NZ. On a cosy front, he has brought joy amongst family and friends with his cheeky yet mild demeanor and has motivated some friends with the confidence to be fellow dog owners too.
