Dear  Jim,
just a short note to tell u how Sophie is doing I must say that  as a dog person all my  life. I was very pleased with Sophie when we got her. She is so smart and was so easy to train I have other dogs as well and the way she fit right in with them was a little bit of a surprised
they all go with me where ever I go and only once  has Sophie jumped out of the truck. this happened when she was still a pup of 6 months old and it was to chase a rabbit that she had seen .she also gets along very well with our other house hold pets,5 cats and a bearded dragon lizard. Sophie  has even picked out a cat as her favorite as u can see from the following pic's and she is so friendly with the children around our house that there have been many times they will stop by on their way to or from school to play with her. if they throw a ball into the street she wont  go get it herself, nor dose she let them go get it she will bark until I go after it. we even had one little girl about age 6 who almost ran into the road to get a ball and Sophie stopped her just by standing in front of her and not letting her get around her until I came to get the ball. she loves to swim and will head  for any open water even in the cold weather. My wife is an avid shooter and takes Sophie with her to her outdoor matches I was a bit surprised to find that Sophie was not afraid of gun fire and would sit by and watch until told she could go chase the clays. I am sending along pic's of Sophie and her favorite cat as well as Sophie and my niece  and others of her and our other dogs. I have received numerous compliments about her and when  I'm asked where she came from I tell people if they want  a good quality dog to call U or go on line to Bodella kennels thank u again for the best dog I've ever had and I hope  to do business with u again.
