Ginkgo de Xelaju Amelia (Lia): born November 17, 2009 was born out of our own second litter and the moment she emerged we knew there was something special about her.  Daughter of our beloved Xela and Cinna she leads a charmed life.  Spoiled rotten, her one white paw and small stature have the uncanny ability to charm people (especially her humans)  and allow her to get away with anything.  She is 1 of 6 puppies.

She is exceptionally smart and driven.  She knows what she wants and expects her people to give it to her.  She exhibits creativity in her play and can be trouble maker but only if she deems in necessary.

She thinks she should be the head of the household and often takes on challenges that far exceed her size.  She likes to be in control and wants to be the one to approach new people.  When she knows you she will often greet you by wiggling her entire body across the distance between you before curling up in your arms.  I don’t know how she learned to do this but her preferred position is to lounge on the back of the couch often draping her legs over my shoulders.

Nicknames: Lia, Princess Lia, Wiggles
OFA: C hips and 0/0 elbows
CERF: normal
Height:  49 cm/ 19.25 inches
Weight: 13.60 kgs/30 lbs
Titles: Working towards a Rally-O title
