Merita has an amazing topline, is large boned and has excellent structure. She has a nice blocky head with a beautiful, soft, chocolate coat.

Why the name Amē?
Amē was born October 19, and was our Ametheyst born from our Crystal x Magic litter. Amē went home as a puppy with a gentleman and made him very, very happy. He wanted to keep her name Amethyst but shortened it to Amē. He later passed to a terminal illness and because of this we got Amē back on her first birthday. Amē loved him and still misses him to this day and we wanted to keep the name he gave her. We are so happy to have one of Crystal's girls back with us.
On October 19, in American history is when the American Revolution came to an end.
Amē is a such a smart, sweet girl. She is energetic and loves to play, but she absolutely loves being with her family the most. She is a people person through and through, and does not know a stranger. She adores children, and has a great on/off switch.
