Pretty good, he's a bit crazy =) but.. allot of fun! I put him in training classes to get Akc certified. Soon, will be able to take him to malls an other public places where dogs normally aren't allowed. I found the classes through petsmart. You should check into it if you have the store in your town. Its really affordable and they teach you how to manage the dog instead of some instructor doing it for you. I've learned some great tips and I've only taken him to one out of 8 classes.
You asked me about Blondie's doggy heritage - I think she has a golden retriever look around her face. She also has a nice long muzzle like me, perfect for getting the last food from your bowl!
