Charlotte was not a rescue - she came straight to me at 8 weeks old - she is a happy, sweet, girl -perfect with strangers and anyone that comes to visit she welcomes them whole heartedly-she has gone to work with me - she has been an angel when she's gotten her vaccinations- no grumbling of any kind - that's how I want to keep it - but now and then (rare) she shows tendancies towards being a little bit snippy only when she's sleeping. I simply asked if anyone had this type of behavior when they had a puppy. S he will be trained that is unacceptable and learn to be a good girl - just like the other animals in the house - she will respect me and the others - just like I respect them and visa versa. I am the alpha but I am a soft spoken woman - who loves her animals more than I love most people - they live wonderful lives - but they will be trained - they will listen when given a command and they will learn what is acceptable and what is not acceptable behavior . Trust me they get away with plenty of stuff - They train me just as
