  • Knows lots of tricks

Zoich is a small, friendly and energetic dog.

During the party, Zoich performs tricks, tackles obstacle courses, joins in games and completes challenges together with the children. He trains in agility and obedience, picks up new skills quickly and loves posing for photos with guests. But what Zoich loves most of all are treats!

PawParty's four-legged helper Grenka

Grenka

Helper

  • Shows off tricks
  • Loves posing for photos

Grenka is a gentle and slightly shy Schipperke dog. She sometimes joins the program to show off a few tricks and pose for group photos.

Grenka feels most comfortable watching from a short distance. That's why she doesn't take part in active games or direct interaction with the children.
