This is Sperry, our 2-year-old Cavapoo. We spend a lot of time on our sailboat in the summer, hence his nautical inspired name. He is the perfect boat dog. He is a very smart, affectionate and devoted pup who loves people and constant cuddles with his fur mom and dad. He enjoys walks in the woods and at the beach, including a daily “zoomies” run around our yard to get his energy out. He is a great addition to our small family!
