Dr. Ko Theerasak, a devoted dog lover, was thrilled to learn that a relative of his beloved dog Hero had given birth to five puppies. He immediately drove to Axotic Cafe in the Ladprao 71 area to welcome these premium new family members—the offspring of "Cheese"—consisting of three females and two males. The standout feature is that they are Samoyden Doodles, representing among the first of this breed produced in Thailand, with an irresistibly cute and fluffy appearance.

Ko Theerasak explained the exclusive appeal of this litter: "The genetic excellence comes from both sides. On the mother's side, Cheese is descended from the grandfather 'Poseidon,' a purebred Samoyed imported from China, and grandmother 'Judy,' a Goldendoodle imported from America. On the father's side is Dark, a sturdy Goldendoodle house champion." When combined perfectly, they produce puppies with distinctive features, soft fluffy coats, endearing faces, and are expected to grow into beautifully structured adult dogs.

Axotic Cafe is now offering these puppies for reservation. They represent exceptional value compared to imported purebred lines. Beyond meeting the new puppies, visitors can also interact and play with over 34 rare dog breeds at the cafe. Anyone wanting to be among the first owners of this world-class new breed should act quickly.
