"Behr has already been a blessing. He was so good the whole 6hr ride home. We have only had him for a short time but it seems like he has always been here. I am sending you a few photos so you can see how HUGE he is getting. Behr is my 2nd child-He is quite a mama's boy.

Behr is learning fast and is very good with Kyanne. He nips at her a lot but that is because he thinks she is playing with him-all the time. He is also very protective of her. He will stay by her side if they are running in the park or around other people. He acts tough but he is the biggest pansy!

He is actually almost house-broken. Amazing I know, but he has responded very well with his potty training. He is teething right now and is nipping at everything! We just give him a toy or a frozen towel and he is satisfied for quiet a while.

He is very smart, we go on lots of walks, he is a digger, he loves fetch, and he loves baths!! I love that he is going to be a water dog! I brought him in for his shots. Next week we will go in for his parvo shots and to get him a microchip. And would you believe that he is just now starting to shed his Eskimo fuzz. And it is everywhere!

We were going to crate train him, but he loves it outside so much that we let him out when we are away.

Kim, I know this sounds cheesy, but I hope you know that what you do changes people lives. When we started looking for a puppy, we put in an app with a local search company and they denied us!!! I was irate- they didn’t even give us a return letter or call. They just noted on their website that "if we think you are acceptable, we will give you a call" That is why I might have been a little edgy about my app with you.. And how eager I was. When I saw Jasmine's pups, I some how knew that this was the dog for me. Even though they were only little black rolls. And that there was only one boy, that was fate! I

I was afraid that you were going to turn me away because my fence wasn’t complete. Other than that, I couldn’t figure out why the other company would look past us.

Anyways, Behr is very...very comfortable and is doing great with his training. Has Jasmine or the other pups been adopted yet? Let me know. I wish I would have been able to meet you when we came to pick up Behr. But Linn was very nice, and I could tell she took very good care of the dogs' she watches over. "

Here is one of our favorite sites addressing puppy nipping; eliminate this behavior before that puppy becomes a big dog with a hundred-pound 'nip'!
