Hey Kato

Where are the puppy pictures??? And how is she?

Here's Elsa!

She's quite the pup. The picture is almost two weeks old and she's grown a lot already. We're starting the process of the "raising of the ears". Every day I see a difference. She's nine weeks old and already weighs 23 pounds, so I think she'll be a good sized dog.

She's as smart as can be, and I think we're going to have our hands full with her. She's much more likely to challenge authority than Zelda was. She likes to test limits, and I've got to stay on top of it. This kind of pup usually makes a really good dog as long as you get a good foundation. The time to learn the boundaries and manners is now, not at 80 pounds! We are definitely signing up for obedience classes. She's a fearless little thing, and I think she's going to make a top notch cattle dog.

As soon as I find time to upload a newer photo over our faster than flowing mud dialup connection I'll post it.

Now all we have to do is survive the teething!

Really an attractive pup! Good luck with her.

My dad had a German Shepherd in France during WW!!. He called that dog, "FOUR TON" and he really loved her. She was black like your pup.
