Captain Barnacles
Cream • Possibly carrying pink
Captain Barnacles is a beautiful cream Frenchie puppy with an especially soft, sweet presence. He is possibly carrying pink, though that possibility is not presented as a confirmed genetic result.
He is now in the active training and socialization phase of our program. Through hands-on learning, household exposure, confident exploration, and positive experiences with everyday life, Captain is developing the skills and adaptability that help a puppy transition successfully into a family.

Brain’s testing
Genetic testing highlights
AKC registered name: The Brain CA (United Kingdom)
Brain’s Animal Genetics report shows clear (n/n) results for all six disorder tests listed:
- CMR1 — Canine Multifocal Retinopathy 1
- CY3 variant 2 — cystinuria-associated variant
- CY3 variant 3 — cystinuria-associated variant
- DM — Degenerative Myelopathy

These results report only the specific variants tested. Genetic screening is one part of a thoughtful breeding decision and is not a guarantee of overall health or particular puppy traits.
