She was born in the UK. Nikki is still going strong and lives with us half the year in the US and half the year in Italy. She has made 11 trans Atlantic flights to date!

We have kept her weight down, around 70lbs and except for some arthritis, she is still lively! Walks are on her terms these days which is minimal, she’d rather sleep most of the day. However, she is a very happy and loving dog, my very best companion!
