HI Everyone,
I was in Patt Wiegand's shop that sells all kind of breed collectibles.
She told me that she will be getting in some golf club covers that are
Berners. She also has ton's of other breeds available. I know I've seen
several requests from people looking for them. The picture she

Hi Anne and Maddie!
Molly is great at "sit" and terrific at holding eye contact and pretty
reliable at "down," but she has been thoroughly inconsistent about

1/2 years old (she is now 8 1/2)was trained on an ivisible fence as a

It doesn't fit my style of training and I will not sell to someone who
