Yes, my girl was well socialized. It's not that my voice is so startling to her. It's more that she doesn't like to be scolded and will find a way in the not too distant future to repay me with her opinion. Since I learned a while ago to not do this, I haven't suffered her wrath in some time but when I did it could be anything from finding she had peed or pooped just out of my sight to finding something I value that had just been totally shredded. I found that I could scold her reasonably for what she had done but then I needed to immediately reinforce my love for her so that she knew she didn't need to rebel against me. This has worked well for me. Shouting at her would always reap me a grim reward in the end.

Thanks. Sophie loves to run, she is just like both her parents. Right now she is going through a whopper of a false pregnancy but didn't let that get in her way of chasing those bags. She thoroughly enjoys herself out on the field and is a joy to watch.

The ASFA standings for 2008 just posted to the website. So I guess I should add that Sophie finished the year as Number 8 basenji in ASFA followed by her mom, Rally, at Number 9 and her half sister, Rio, and half brother, Cole, both in a tie at Number 20.
