Fortunately, it doesn't happen often, but I made a mistake choosing Piper's first family. She's been back with us for a couple of months now and is really ready for her forever home. Piper still lacks a bit of confidence, but I know with time, a class or two and the dog park, she'll be great. At 10 months, she is still very much a klutzy puppy. She is a bit reserved at first, but better that than barging in!

Piper will make a wonderful pet for a family who has another dog and kids. She is housetrained, spayed, microchipped and all vaccines are current. She should be taken to an obedience class or two and the dog park is doing wonders for her confidence. She should be crated when not supervised, she still likes to tear up paper. She does walk well on a leash, knows other basic commands and will do just about anything for a cookie.

From December 2008-
Ok, I know I shouldn't play favorties, but this is mine. Calm steady pup, who is easily amused with toy or a rawhide. Plus, she's figured out the whole house training thing! She loves to cuddle in bed, or lay at my feet while I am typing this.

Piper is a happy, energetic Walker pup. She is learning about living in the house and about life in general. Piper has discovered the wonderful activity called "Ear Rubs", she doesn't want you to quit.
