Shadow, the old girl I had until 2004, was the most intelligent dog I ever had. We got her at an animal rescue shelter, believe it or not, as a puppy. I couldn't believe it. A pure-bred Schipperke from a shelter? There were 3 of them actually, I should have taken them all but I'm not greedy.
The first night we brought her home we put her in a 3' tall inside pen. She was out of there within minutes. I knew we had our hands full after that. :rofl: She was a great dog. Her tombstone reads, "Shadow, 1990-2004 Best Dog Ever". :cry: I still miss the old girl. She was my constant companion and best friend.
There's no way I could ever afford another pure-bred, I got lucky with her. I'm still on the lookout though. I'm on several lists from shelters and pounds and if they ever bring one in, he/she's MINE! :)

Your's are beautiful. You're very lucky. Give 'em a scratch behind the ears for me, OK? :hi:
