My daughter who is 9 just loves him. He sets down when she wants to pick him up. He was raised in the city in confined conditions and seems to have readily acclimated to ranch living. He is so darn cute to watch walking around and getting use to open space and free ranging with my girls.
Oh dear shall I put my oar in? Definitely halff silkie because of the colour and shape of the comb, but I would say the other half could be faverolle because of the beard.
