Lance started his life as a show dog extraordinaire. After finishing his AKC championship he then moved on to the couch and became the shop’s mascot. Lance is one big fat mamas boy, loves Papa Duck Chris, but most importantly, he has become the meeter & greeter at ADVENTURES IN SCUBA NC. He is always quick to wag his tail and meet you at the door and possibly give you a big kiss and smile (yes, he does smile), but don’t be fooled, what he is really hoping for is a hand out of his favorite treat, the peanut butter pretzels that are kept in the shop.
Lance is currently not scuba certified.
