Hi, Michelle! I agree with you completely! Sometimes I have to laugh at my little pup! He is so full of the devil! My older one is just the proper gentleman that it is a riot to watch them. Sometimes they just rll around the room! Other times they are sitting next to each other trying to impress! We still train regularly and I really think that's why I don;t have the problems everyone warned me of! But I love them both and wouldn't trade them for the world!
