Hi Jim,
I thought you might like to see a picture of Echo.
He’s now just a little over two years old
He is a constant companion. He loves to go for rides.
He can tell which vehicle we’re going to use by which key I hold in
my hand. If I forget to put the cars away, turn off the garage light
or lower the door he reminds me. He’ll just sit in the garage
doorway, until I come do it. When he’s satisfied that I’ve taken
care of everything, he comes and sleeps at the foot of the bed. If I
fall asleep with the light on, reading a book at night he wakes me
up to go to bed.
He loves to play games -- through the ball, hide the
bone, tug of war, or just clown around. He’s friendly to people; but
just a little shy at first.
He attracts a lot of attention where ever we go. I’m
often asked “who is the breeder?” Naturally, I tell them to give you
a call. My next door neighbors are from Germany, so they just love
to have him visit. They have a four year old boy who talks to him
for hrs in German. He’s a good pet for my wife and mother-in-law;
but prefers to go where ever I go. I rarely fail to take him with me
when I leave the house.
He knows about posing for pictures. He’s doing it
here! He posed for this shot when a friend got out his camera. When
I print out pictures he stands in front of the printer to see what
comes out.
I have a radio, underground fence. He learned to be
aware of the beeping of his collar in short order. We have a
generous sized property on a hill side. He romps the property; but
has never crossed over the boundary. We’ve had 5 or 6 previous
German Shepherds; but Echo is certainly the best dog we have ever
owned. He’s very intelligent, obedient, likes to have fun and is
very loving.
Keep up the good work! |
