What's your dog’s favorite toy and/or go-to treat?

JD loves anything that squeaks. His favorite cuddle toys are his lamb and sheep dog. Chicken, duck and turkey treats make his belly happy. For fruits, he loves blueberries.

What is your dog's most unique quality?

He can and will turn heads everywhere he goes. His fluff is impossible to ignore and he grabs attention from all angle. Children and adults shower him with compliments and melt when he gives them kisses and cuddles. He’s as energetic as he is calm. JD feels like home…

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

JD is named after an icon and he lives up to his immortal name. He is affection, loyalty, fun, sweetness, cuteness and a bit of naughtiness balled up in a cloud. He’s already spreading love, laughs, and aloha to the locals and tourists of Hawaii with his charm and Bichon blitz (aka zoomies), now it’s time for him to capture the hearts of the rest of America.
