Coty is Celtic’s fraternal twin. This six-month-old pup has the same wonderful qualities as his brother. Both weigh about 35 pounds. Both obviously have those marvelous Labrador genes, looks and personalities. Both would love loyally and unconditionally. The only noticeable difference is Coty’s white, speckled paws, a sign that some Brittany Spaniel genes might be included.

It would be very hard to choose between the sweet boys. One solution, if someone has acreage or a large, fenced yard, would be to take both pups home and be doubly adored. The pups together would be doubly entertaining, too.

And the boys would keep each other fit and exercised. Families are busy. They can’t always be home. Coty and Celtic, together, with enough space, could eliminate guilt.
