@gneigum:
Thank you for the compliments to my dogs. There is not much that I can share about them, as they have only been in our home about three months, although my wife & I agree that it seems like they've been here all their lives. We were blessed to become aquainted with Simone Gaudet - www.beaubri.com - who gave us the lead. The dogs names are Nathaniel (6 in Jan. 09)pedigree at http://www.beaubri.com/Nate.html & Callie (5 in Nov. 08)pedigree at http://www.terrarust.com/pedigree-callie.html. They are, for the most part, very well behaved, & have adjusted extremely well to our home. Callie is like a bossy sister to Nate, & lets him know when she is unhappy with his presence. She is also very protective of her new home & I have to work with her to curb some agression issues with some visitors.
Aside from that, we are enjoying them very much.
I would enjoy hearing about your B(s) also.

How wonderful of you to take in 2 older dogs. Thank you for sharing your story and the pictures (I LOVE the coats with booties picture!!) My female is also the bossy sister. The more I read about the breed, the more I think this is typical for the females.
If you care to read a little about how I got my 'kids' you can read it here…

The truncated version would be…Ty and Kate are our beloved family pets, although they are treated in my home as family members. They are loved unconditionally (although when they were younger, some days seemed more like a love/hate relationship:D)
Again, welcome!! Dawn
