To torture his big bro Slim Shady, to bark at every dog he sees and to challenge big boys (rottweilers, akitas, etc!)

Big bro Slim Shady!Anything forbidden, such as slippers and newspapers

Favorite Food:
Chicken, oranges, pears, garlic bread, and when he was much younger he preferred (any) adult dog formula to his Eukanuba Small Puppy.

Favorite Walk:
Anywhere where there is another dog to bark at!

Best Tricks:
Standing upright and even walking! on his two feet as humans do.Only for the treats, of course.

Arrival Story:
For a long time I thought it would be a good idea for Slim Shady to have a little brother.I also wanted a small dog, and after an exhaustive and thorough research I eliminated most toy/small dog breeds, mainly due to medical concerns, genetic predisposition.Then, one August morning there was an expedition (just to look) trip to the same pet store where I met Slim Shady.One red cocker puppy attracted my attention.But I swore to myself I was only "looking" not buying that day.So upon returning home that day, I looked for some more info about cockers on the Internet.They were described as the most beautiful, affectionate, very intelligent, with a heartmelting look in their big baby eyes.I can attest now that that description is 100% correct.They only forgot to add the mention of "extremely stubborn and particularly naughty!"Anyways, on the next day I found myself back at the pet store again, asking to have a closer look at that red puppy I saw there the day before.I asked the sales person to see how that puppy reacts and behaves with other playful dogs, so she brought out another black cocker, who was a month older and seemed to be livelier.That black puppy was more curious as well and came to sniff me at once looking very brave!I petted him, he gave my hand a lick, I took him in my arms and realized that he reminds me of a miniature Slim Shady (being black and all).Then, puppy gave me the most wonderful doggie kisses and I was sold!Instead of Sunshine (the name I chose for the red puppy) I am now a very proud and happy owner of Domino!

Bio:
He's officially registered as Domino Dancing at Gryffindor.Domino for his black color with a small white patch and Domino Dancing for my favorite song of the 80's.Gryffindor comes from Harry Potter series - it's a name of one of the four houses and true Gryffindors are brave and loyal.That name definitely describes Domino best. He was born in Donnellson, Iowa on 04/09/04.He's got a full pedigree, listing many famous AKC champions.His first owner is a breeder of some very large dogs, so he got used to them from his birth, I guess that's why he's not intimidated by them at all.In fact, when Domino arrived home, he soon enough became the alpha male in our family. If you think that Domino may be related to your dog/puppy, I'd be glad to provide more info.And I'd be also happy to hear from Domino's relatives, he comes from a rather large litter, so it's unlikely but not impossible.
