Pilot
Pilot is a gorgeous light yellow/cream male from our 2020 X-men litter (Rivi + Sully). He is such a lover… a sweet, gentle, calm boy who reminds me so much of his mother Rivi as well as his grandfather Polaris.
Like many of the puppies from that litter, Pilot is extremely cuddly. He has all the attributes of a Therapy Dog candidate or an emotional assistance dog. I also believe he has great potential for Service Dog work as he is a thinker and pays very close attention to what is going on. Pilot is also very people focused and therefore may also excel as a seizure alert dog with the proper training.
Pilot’s claim to fame is that he is a hugger. He LOVES to hug people by leaning in close, placing his chest against their chest and his head over their shoulder. He is excellent at emotion diffusing —identifying emotional situations and attempting to appease/distract the person experiencing the negative emotions. These are all natural traits that I have seen again and again in Pilot’s lines.
Pilot passed all his health testing with flying colours and sired his first litter with MuZee in 2022. That litter did not disappoint! Already one of his pups is a working Therapy dog in a school setting with several others showing great potential as service/support pups as well!
I hope that Pilot will feature in other litters in the future!
