Hi Amy,

...She's quite the little girl, full of energy and as cute as can be.  Poco is bright, fearless, smart, if there's a hard way of doing things that will be her choice, retrieves, can see things further away than any other puppy she's had, respects her older dog, Bunny, is beginning to like cuddling, listens to sounds, sometimes startles but then goes to investigate, was the youngest puppy to go up a flight of steps in her back yard....

Poco has settled in nicely and has impressed me here at the office with her ability to be in Linda's office area and not bark.  She's very quiet.  She also gets along well with all the other dogs, no fear on her part.  What a wonderful puppy.  Thank you for sharing her with us.

...So far she knows: "come", "here", and when its cold out "come on come on comeON I'm freezing!", "sit", "down", "let's go" (to walk on a leash), and is working on "right" (go to my right side).  She walks beautifully on a leash, doesn't pull. She is very intelligent, she tilts her head and you can see the wheels turning as she ponders through something, then she leaps up as if to say "aha!" and goes full charge.  A fuzzy speeding bullet as John (my husband) put it.  Gee, I'd love to see this girl on an agility field - bet she'd be a star!  She is so agile, she reminds me of a circus dog prancing and dancing and leaping around. She has beautiful house manners too, once she got past the new puppy stage adn stopped chewing the rugs, and doesn't get into anything that isn't "her toy".  Amazing at this age!
