Breed
From Kandis, Utah
The Checkered Giant is an amazing breed. They are beautiful animals. They are
big, soft, and fast. What more could you want. They do tend to be somewhat
territorial and can startle easily, but I personally think their cuteness overrides
that! Plus, short hair, less severe shedding! :)
