Hilda Du Pays Ultramarine was imported from the Ukraine. "Hilda" didn't suit her; so, we changed her call name to Stefania (Steffie) after her grandmother. She has grown quickly. We are keeping her on the lanky side through her puppy days. She has a sweet personality and is very smart. I hope you can get a feel for her personality from some of the pictures in her gallery.
Is there such a thing as the perfect puppy? In all likelihood there is not. There is always something one might change in any dog (or person really), but the goal should be to always strive towards raising a puppy to be its most perfect self. This is hard work, to be sure, but it is not only possible, it is necessary.
Everyone is familiar with sit, down, and come and other similar commands that are standard fare in the general obedience training class. The novice handler might not be familiar with what competitive obedience looks like or realize that it’s really just a continuation of those basic skills.
So you have made the decision to get a dog. Perhaps you had a bad experience once before with a dog who you thought was cute or friendly, but then when you got him home he turned out to be a holy terror, and the whole thing turned into a nightmare. Even if you have never had such a bad experience, the fact remains that choosing a pet is a life-changing decision, and it is one that takes a lot of thought and research.
