Caveat: I have not seen an episode of The Bachelor in approximately 10 years.
Context: Back when I was still relatively new to the PC, I decided to breed a batch of NIB “scotch & sodas” (a selective breed of Scotties created by Keyglyph and gingerade ) after seeing KeyGlyph’s post about their new SB on (I think) RKC. I bred up to a Generation 7 litter, and then…really did nothing with them? Recently, I adopted a pup named Chosen from none other than KeyGlyph, and decided it’d be fun to find a mate for him from amongst my own line.

One bachelor. Seven single ladies. Who will Chosen choose?
Let's meet our bachelor...
Chosen is a Generation 7 NIB snowshoe scottie, bred by Keyglyph . This icy-eyed king is a champion show dog, better known as SGCh WPR’s Mother’s Favorite in the showring. He is one of Szmantha Kennel’s top-performing showpups, having finished with a 4.0 show point average!
According to his GoalDescriptor, he’s very lively and playful, but also quite naughty. Very nurturing—but to a certain extent, because his patience is quite low. He’s also not the kindest. And he’s quite messy and dependent on others. What a mix of characteristics!
Let's meet our contestants...
It's time for meet & greets!
First impressions took place in the backyard, which was decorated for the occasion:
Meeting Cameron:
After making polite yet brief eye contact, Chosen and Cameron proceed to more or less ignore each other in favor of staring up at the twinkle lights on the fence. They really didn't interact with each other at all during their first impression!

Meeting Emerson:
Chosen's first impression with Emerson went much the same way as his first impression with Cameron. They politely ignored each other. BUT! When I put Emerson away, Chosen immediately went into *sad boy stance* — so I think he likes her!
He and Charlie had a lot of fun together! They immediately starting play nipping and wrestling.
Meeting Charlie:

Meeting Kai:
Chosen decidedly did not like Kai. He spent a lot of his time following her around and barking/growling. Though I think she didn't have the same adverse reaction to him that he had to her? When I put her away, he did that condescending goodbye wave that always makes me laugh.
Meeting Parker:
This meet and greet was cute! They seemed to get along well enough, but then wherever Chosen was in the backyard, he would look for/stare at Parker. Am I sensing a crush??
Meeting Skylar:
Another fun playmate! Chosen and Skylar had a good time horsing around. TBD if the chemistry is there.
It's time for...
The first rose ceremony!
Chosen has got his six roses to hand out. And the first rose goes to...
Parker, of course!
The next four roses were handed out in the following order...
2nd: Charlie
3rd: Emerson
4th: Skylar
5th: Cameron
And that leaves our final two contestants:
Who will get the rose — Kai or Avery?
It was not a very tough decision for Chosen, who can be quite cutthroat. After very little deliberation, he presented the final rose to...
Kai!
(There may or may not have been input from the producers, who nudged Chosen toward choosing the contestant that he had the absolute least chemistry with, for ~the drama~. But, as we said, this probably didn't happen.)
Which means...
Avery has been eliminated!
Next time on Chosen's Chosen...
Group dates?
Meeting Avery:
Oh no. Avery was another pup Chosen didn't get along with well (though she got along with him just fine!). He followed her around to bark at her. And, I mean, look at those angry eyes while they're wrestling!
Chosen says, "Byeeeeeeee."
Chosen says, "Byeeeeeeee."
