Hi Deb,
I'm writing to give you an update on Copper (he was Joey in your house, but we really liked the named Copper and it stuck!), the ruby male I bought from you last October when he was five months old. Soon after he was adjusted at home, we sent him to a training school where he learned to sit, stay, lay down, wait for others to go through a door before him, and walk on a leash. I've also taught him to drop his toys when we play fetch and what "go in your crate" means. He's such a smart, lovable little guy! He knows exactly which door to go to in my apartment building when we return from walks. I've gone through some difficult times in the past year, and Copper has been here every step of the way to offer me comfort and love. I don't know what I would do without him. He is very well socialized and always wants to play in the dog park with the other dogs who live around here, and he runs up to people wagging his tail to offer some kisses. A man in my apartment building recently told me that Copper is his favorite dog here, which is a hard task - there are over 40 dogs in this building! I just wanted to thank you for bringing him into my life and remind people to check your "older puppies for sale" page. The dogs on that page are just as wonderful as younger puppies. Copper's fantastic personality is a testament to the care you gave him as a young puppy and his great lineage.

I'm sending along two pictures, one of Copper smiling and another of him taking a bath (he likes baths and LOVES being towel dried after!)

Thanks so much,
Shannon B
