Gambit is one of the smartest and friendliest puppies I have ever known, that said she is going thru the puppy teething stage right now. Her breeder warned me that she liked to chomp on his toes. I find she really prefers a good nyla bone and is quite easily channeled onto good behaviors. Her favorite thing to do, is to go with us for rides in the car, such a pleasure after our whippet who shakes and drools the first couple hours even at age 4 This weekend we are going to Hutto TX for an AKC trial, a nice long 12 hour drive in our tiny RV. Will see how she likes that. I know she will appreciate the 70 degree temps vs our 30 degree, wet weather.
