Smitten by his photo, she jumped at the chance to adopt the pet herself. "It was when he was a little puppy," Beador previously recalled in a Bravo video. "He's a beautiful dog. Couple months later, Archie came to our house." According to the dog lover, Archie was raised by a trainer who had been living in a residence suite in the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco. "He's been raised fancy. He's downgrading living with the Beadors," she joked at the time. "He's so much fun and so protective. He has his little sweet quirks and we're all in love."
