Chase was born, with great anticipation, on March 18, 2021, he spent 8 weeks with his mom and 8 weeks in training. He joined Don’s life on July 10th, 2021 and the two have been inseparable ever since.
They hike together, shop together, paddle board together, camp together and when Don is working, Chase has his spot on the floor by his side. They often share sunsets on Monroe Bay in the cockpit of the Cool Change and do three walks a day.
They walk the Point together off lead every morning. Hike Monroe’s birthplace every mid-day. And Chase’s favorite time is being social with his fellow pups at the Robin Grove Dog Park every evening.
At the dog park, he is the peacemaker. Kind and gentle. A friend to all.
Chase is a world-class companion.
