Tami, while it may be difficult to believe, after we
picked Brandy up at your house , we never had a mishap in the car on the trip home or ever
since we
have had her. She is an excellent traveler and loves to go in the car or the truck. We will be leaving for a month in Florida in two weeks and she is
going along.
She has completed her first 8 weeks of obedience classes in 6
weeks because she learns so quickly. The trainer felt it was not necessary to
hold her tothe 8 weeks . She was started on off leash training and has done 3 weeks
of that with no problem. To quote the trainer, "You sure got your moneys
worth with her."
If she has a fault it is that she is extremely strong willed. She will
try very hard to convince us and the trainer that she is the boss but does
not succeed which frustrates her. We think her high intelligence gets her in
trouble sometimes.
All in all she is a terrific dog, and has lived up to your
expectations as a STANDARD Schnauzer. The vet is extremely pleased with her, and the
vet
and every one that meets her has no idea that she is a black schnauzer
because they have NEVER seen one before. We talked to a Standard schnauzer (salt &
pepper) breeder at a dog show and her comment was, " I did not know there
were black Standards."
House breaking was no problem as she wanted out of the car on the way
from Cal. and continued that in the house. The 4.5-day trip with us worked
very
well.
Hope all is well with you and your family,
MIKE & JANET SMELTZ
WRIGHTSVILLE, PA.
