He spends most of his days sleeping and at times needs to be reminded to wake up to potty and eat. He takes in life on his schedule and as long as he as a cushy spot to sleep, he is happy. Everything mentioned above is true and his markings are very striking. He has great posture and a natural tail that does curl up over his back, and is tipped white like his legs. Really a very beautiful boy. Patience will be required because family/home life is new to him. Rocky is a very mellow boy!

He may not hear, but he does respond to signs and knows what is ok and what is not. I love getting him to show off how smart he is when feeding treats - he always knows that I have something special for him and will do many of the commands he has learned to earn the reward. And he has the most beautiful markings! Oh, how I wish I had a home for a big dog! He is wonderful. I have played with Winston many times and LOVE his personality and he really is great!

What a perfect nature and she came to me for attention without me calling out to her. She played well, but was almost just happy to be watching. She was awesome.

He is still shy with people, but has come to realize that we are ok and come bearing treats!! Food motivated once he relaxes, he forgets that he hates to be walked and actually prances on a leash, until he remembers! Goofy little guy loves the dogs and cats in the house and is learning by watching them play. He has the cutest perky ears and when you think he is not paying attention, his little head tilts this way and that with his ears leading the way. Still a baby, we are working on potty habits, and he does not to go outside, but as a baby he cannot hold it for more than about 3-4 hours. This is a great puppy to train with a resident dog.

She accepts attention, no longer cringing when you reach out to her, and will take treats from your hand. She wants to join in the play and is awkward in her attempts, caught between being shy and being puppy. She is very relaxed in the house, knowing her space and only seems to get stressed when there is a change, such as walks outside or car rides. But these are things that we are working on slowly, and as a small dog, if she does not adjust, she does not need alot of exercise, inside play would be enough to keep her healthy. She also is accepting of attention from kids of all ages, just slightly shyer with new kids over resident children. Darla has come along well in a week.
