We adopted 'Shadow'; aka Bernie this past Tuesday.

We immediately took him to our vet which is actually a VCA hospital formerly owned by Dr Becket and his son, Dr. Todd.

We see Dr. Waters for our other dogs and so she saw him too.

She looked carefully at his records and did one fecal sample.

She checked him carefully from head to toe and said he was an amazing little puppy. She said, he did have the confirmation differences that I had noticed in bite and body length. But after a careful look, she is certain he won't have any problems as he matures.

He is eating well and is completely house trained. He hasn't had one accident. He did have several common parasites, but these are being treated and they have not caused any problems.

Socially, he has been and enormous hit with the other two larger dogs; one which we also received from LPO

He is also comfortable meeting the children who come for their music lessons as well as friends and family.

I am struck by his fun nature and his fetch capacity. He always brings me a toy and drops it as he waits for me to toss it again. He's very playful, responsive and smart. He trots around the house at heel and defers to our movements and activities.

(I have had many Field Labs in the past who were not this responsive in their younger years.)

He is sleeping well in the night in a crate by our bedside. And the other dog we got from you stays right beside the crate.

I wanted to add that our time spent with Cheyenne and Shanna in person, online and over the phone were simply fantastic.

At no point did we feel rushed or pressured. We did feel we had all the information my husband needed to determine if this was "his" puppy.

Actually our experience with our other Shetland sheep dog, poodle puppy,' Astro 'aka Harry was very relaxed and informative as well. We really appreciated this. This was a reason for our return two years later.
