Q&A With Frenkie (and his humans)

Q: Why did you choose Frenkie?
A: Honestly, he chose us! We went to “just have a look,” but the moment we saw him—his expressive eyebrows and the faint white stripe running up his nose—it was love at first sight. He was the last one left from the litter, and although he had a bit of a tough start, he’s now in perfect health and full of energy.

Q: Were you nervous about getting him?
A: Definitely. We weren’t completely prepared, even though we were experienced dog owners. But Frenkie quickly won our hearts, and we figured it out together.

Q: What’s Frenkie’s personality like?
A: He’s energetic, cheerful, super smart, and incredibly affectionate. He’s also a bit of a foodie—he’ll eat just about anything!

Q: What’s Frenkie’s favorite activity?
A: Eating and running are his two great loves. He especially enjoys being chased during playtime (often together with his little sister Polly)—it’s hard to catch him because he’s so quick.

Q: Does Frenkie have any funny habits?
A: Oh, absolutely! In the summer, no picnic blanket is safe. Frenkie loves to join in uninvited, sitting down like he’s part of the gathering—it’s hilarious. And when he’s playing, he always has the biggest grin on his face.

Q: Why do you think Frenkie loves his Pooch bed?
A: After a day full of running, eating, and stealing picnic spots, Frenkie needs a cozy place to recharge. His Pooch bed gives him the perfect spot to relax and dream about his next adventure.
