My Story: Delta’s name honors his grandfather, Delphi, and his mother Aleta. Delta was also given a very special symbol, a triangle, which is the same symbol used years ago for his grandmother Misty.
Delta is a very curious, bright, and independent guy. He is athletic and loves to wow the audience with his spectacular high energy behaviors. He also enjoys a good snuggle with his trainers from time to time. He takes new training very seriously and concentrates when working on a new behavior. When he makes progress, he often will whip his head back in excitement and loves when his trainers throw him a jackpot party with plenty of kisses. Delta loves hanging out with his friends, but shows no desire to be in charge. He would rather just swim around with everyone!
