Rubin’s favorite pastime is to cuddle with his owners. He also loves his girls, Pico and Lizzie. His favorite activity is to herd deer on our property. Rubin doesn’t like chasing a ball, but he does like chasing Pico when she chases the ball. He is a great licker and he leans in to be pet. He is also a wonderful watchdog and takes his work very seriously.

Nuvem do Pico da Casa dos Bravos

Born May, 2018

For Pico, when she is with her owners and she is fetching balls, the world is good. It’s her job; it’s her passion! She enjoys being chased by Rubin. Pico was the first Barbado da Terceira to be brought to the U.S.A., the first to have puppies here, and the first winner of Best of Breed in the U.S. For all her hard work, she enjoys the occasional “pup cup” from her local Starbucks.

Lisbon (a.k.a. “Lizzie) do Monte de Magos

Born October, 2021

Lizzie is in constant motion. Lizzie’s favorite past time is to play with anyone – canine, feline, and human. She loves her world and shows it with her still puppy-like behavior. She is wicked smart and makes everyone laugh with her antics. Notably, when she gets the “zoomies” at the same time every evening, we say, “REEEE-LAX,” whereupon she plays dead and gets a belly rub. She is a wonderful cuddler.
