I question or sanity in getting a third dog constantly. Should we have done it? Why did we do it? What was I thinking? Am I glutton for punishment or what?
But the bigger truth?
She is a really super duper doggie who is from a great breeder we have used before and is as smart as the dogs that have come before her. (i.e. Ritter and Arabelle.)
She currently appears to have Arabelle's brains but a bit of Ritter's stubbornness. We've all been super frustrated when she won't come when called even though she very clearly knows what we are asking.
This is especially true because the moment we ask her favorite person (Abigail) to come out and call her, she comes trotting in full speed.
Here is a paragraph Abigail wrote about "her" dog Raven for a school assignment. I loved it:
Abigail has been VERY purposeful in being Raven's "person." She and Sidge were both going to be in charge of Raven, but in the end, Abigail kept up on it and has spent the most time with her. I really think Raven will be "her" dog.
The video below is of Abigail working with her on "leave it." I honestly am VERY surprised she has gotten leave it already. She is doing sit and lay and paw and come, but to do "leave it" at such a young age is really fantastic. It's always a hard one to learn.
