Welcome Gerty! She comes to us from Great Lakes poodles and has a terrific lineage! Gerty is very smart and learns by mimicking! She has a silky black coat, with phantom markings! She has already won over her guardians Lisa and Tom and has picked up quickly on the clicker. She is bouncy and fun and loves going on walks.
