Hi Steve,
Well, here they are, at 18 weeks. We've just had their rabies shots done. They have been a tremendous joy in our lives.
This is Penny (P4F) on the left and Bailey (M7F) on the right.
Look at how big bailey has gotten. She was always smaller than Penny. Then, on the last vet visit, she weighed in heavier than Penny. Penny is just a butter ball. Bailey is the aggressive one. She gets into things and Penny watches her. If she doesn't kill herself, them Penny will try it. The house training is pretty well done now. We are teaching them not to storm the door when people arrive and trying to hold down on the barking. I put in a dog door, for our sanity. Some times one of them will sit in front of the door and the other will ram through it launching the one into the air. It's really different having two. They depend on each other so much. The training is really about the same as one. They follow each other's habits. But we can always depend on Bailey to start the new unacceptable behavior. The information you gave us, in that book, is very helpful and accurate. These two are right out of the book. They are so very different and yet the same in ways. It's a perfect complement for each other.
Holly said she got notice that you had another litter. I believe this was the one we had originally planned on picking from. You said these would be the last for the year, I believe. Is that true? How are they doing? I have been explaining to people how your dogs are well tempered and make better household pets. Our last one was from a show breeder and she really had some behavior issues that we aren't having to deal with now. It's really nice. We've had them with other dogs and strange people with no problems what so ever. People are impressed at their good behavior at such a young age. Now to work on that running away thing. Have to get out that leash!
We check your web sight frequently and if we ever come onto someone looking for a nice pet, we'll certainly refer to you guys. Say hi to Janelle for me. Thanks for the great companions!
