Other facts: Zappa is a great little puppy full of personality. He loves to be right by your side at all times. He loves to snuggle his stuffed animals at night and is a hard sleeper. Still not sure how to play with balls (fetch,etc) but finds them very interesting. Sometimes I’m convinced he’s trying to talk to people with the little noises he makes; he’s very expressive. Would be an amazing family dog.
