Kristel has long wanted us to be a big dog \/ little dog family and now we are. Taylor came from a breeder in Riverside, CA and pick up was delayed due to the wildfires. Kristel drove down and back in a weekend and used the time to bond with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bonding worked! But too well. Taylor previously lived with a bunch of Cavaliers and very few people. Now only Kristel can get close enough to pick her up; she runs away from everyone else. But she&#8217;s sweet and she&#8217;ll let you hold her when Kristel puts her in your arms.<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" scoped>.rbs_gallery_69fb3a9085af4Spinner{\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 50px
