Charlie
Name Quinn
Age 2 in May
Breed Lab mix
Hip Hounds client since October ‘08
Likes Quinn loves the ladies. More often than not, you’ll find him rolling around with one of his girlfriends.  Quinn also loves taking the occasional roll in poop. You’d think the two would be mutually exclusive but we suspect that it may be Quinn’s “calling card”.

Brothers and litter-mates, Roby & Guba are a rowdy pair who seem to prefer their time spent with smaller and medium-sized dogs.
