TROY_BOY 62 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 heart!! can't fault any dog that gives its all ever regardless of its working ability! good feet,wind,gears are all essentials for a top class dog but when the going gets tough its heart thats needed for the real special 1's imo Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 The ability to please.... This means a lot actually. I've been spending a lot of time with my new pup this past week, just concentrating on the bond. And all she wants to do is please me. Don't get me wrong she's a little shit - as all pups are. But she loves pleasing me and loves human contact. She will sit on my knee while I hold her a bone to chew on for hours. I think that this bond we are establishing can only be a good thing for the future 1 Quote Link to post

I think the way some dogs react around their owners speaks volumes..... And tells more about the owner than the dog..... 3 Quote Link to post
