We are so blessed to have found a wonderful pup, Louie's Magnum Force, aka "Louie". He is an Alsatian Shepalute. Louie came from Schwarz Kennels in White City, Oregon.
Louie began his training. He is doing wonderful. He has taken 2 sets of General Obedience Classes by Sue Giles-Green. I am working towards getting his Canine Good Citizen Cerificate. I am the one that has held him back in getting this sooner.
Louie definately loves to work. He rides the bus. Louie loads on command, finds his seat, and stays put.
"There is no greater psychiatrist like a puppy licking your FEET!"
3/20/09--Louie came early, my dear Mother and Sister brought him to us. He is 12 weeks old and an absolute doll. He is so submissive(not timid, shy or scared), even to Jada. He just rolls over and looks at her in the eyes. I can not believe how mellow this pup is.
Jada and Louie have bonded. She loves for him to lick her FEET. We are teaching him not to lick hands or face, only her feet. She laughs and puts her feet in his face for more. I will try to get video of it to share. Louie watches the children continually.
We are looking forward to working with Louie. Yes it will be work, but I do feel he will be a good assistance/companion dog for Jada.
And Jared................WELL HE IS ON CLOUD 9.
4/6/09--Hello to you all. Louie is doing so well. He starts dog obedience training tomorrow.
We went for a day trip with him and the kids. He traveled very well. He also had wonderful manners at the home we were visiting. They had two other dogs there. He got along well with them but was much more concerned about Jada.
He kept checking on her. He would go play for a couple minutes then return to her. I did not ask this of him, he is only 15 weeks. He just did it.
He is so gentle with her and playing around her, even when wrestling with other dogs.
The family was surprised how mellow he is. I was very proud of this pup. It made even more confident that he is and will work out well.

Louie's Magnum Force aka "Louie"
He loves to go see Jada at school. He is eleven months, so as he continues to mellow out I will increase his fielld trips with her.
We will be continuing to look for ways to help support Louie. It is a must that Jada keep him.
I know he will be able to stay.
We will keep you all updated on his progress in working with Jada.
