What's up dog?
Nizzie is a pretty tri-colored Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is a delightful blend of elegance and vivacity. Her striking coat, a mix of black, white, and rich tan, captures attention wherever she goes. With her sassy and energetic nature, she brings joy and laughter to everyone around her. Her playful antics and affectionate personality have a profound impact on people, making them smile and feel more connected. Those who adore her find themselves uplifted by her boundless energy and charming presence, making her the heart of any gathering. Nizzie, Lady Drew Beryl of Bearynook would be honoured to step back into the spotlight. Over the past year, she's continued to rule the household with her sassy charm, soulful eyes, and unshakeable sense of royalty. Weighing in at just 5.6kg, she may be small, but her presence is mighty! Nizzie has had a huge impact on the people around her comforting her human pets through life's ups and downs with gentle cuddles, and entertaining everyone with her diva strut and signature head tilt. One of the highlights of her year was meeting her half-sister Lottie for the first time a special moment that reminded us how strong and beautiful the bond between Cavalier King Charles Spaniels can be, Another moment was meeting our newest god daughter with lots of attempted kisses and many more snuggles, remindinf us how amazing they can be with children and whanau. She continues to grow in confidence and sass, reminding us all that love, loyalty, and a little bit of attitude can go a long way.
