Kennel Page: Quail Hollow RanchCollie Entering: QHR Slipping into Shadow // ChiaroscuroEntry:Chiaroscuro grew up as the odd-one-out of a litter of four rambunctious puppies. Her jet black coat immediately shocked everyone at Quail Hollow the day that she was born, and continued to do so as a small patch of pure white vitiligo spotting developed over her eye. She was a stunning pup, and everyone thought that she would surely blossom into a spirited, social butterfly from all the attention her uniqueness would bring her. She was even being considered for service dog work, or possibly therapy dog training... Instead, however, it became very clear that Chiaroscuro was
not one for the spotlight pretty early on in her life. She quickly becomes overwhelmed in busy social settings and would much rather quietly keep to herself as much as possible. When pressed to come out of her shell, she will instead revert further.
Despite her initial aloofness, in very small groups, Chiaroscuro blossoms into a warm and intelligent individual - but only when given enough time and space to open up on her own terms. She is an extremely loyal friend and very attentive listener, often giving great advice to those that she trusts with her wisdom.
Intentionally keeping her circle small, she truly pours her heart and soul into the friendships she keeps. She often needs to take an entire day to herself after spending time with loved ones and advising friends to reset, - but they always know she'll be back when she's ready.
