Look what the cat dragged in....Aria! - Page 2

Man, she just gets better looking, the more pictures I see! She is so gorgeous - coloring, conformation, everything! Love her! Wish I could meet her in person I bet her personality and temperament is just to die for too.

Doesn't she look the same Nadeem?! It's crazy. I laughed when I took the pics of her on the couch with James. She looks the same, the couch is the same, the pillows are the same...only James is obviously different. Your "pup" is much better suited to your family and goals at this time. I'm glad you're happy with him.
 

Dawulf, it depends on who you ask about her temperament. The object of her admiration in this clip would disagree with you.
   
 

Love her.  She is so beautiful.  Love the video.  Girls can be such wenches when they want to be.  I love the way her smile is silent.   Every pup that I have seen a picture of from your breedings make my heart skip a beat.

 

LMAO!!! Poor Slim. He is such a sweetie, but he always is picked on isn't he? Is Capri getting along with her alright?

Heh, Jen, Qira got very concerned when she heard you say 'phooey'... LMAO!!!!!

Aw, Slim has an ok life. He is the only one allowed to sleep with us;-)

She and Capri don't run together but they get along ok in passing. Neither are dog aggressive in the least, and both have the same "mind your own business and I'll mind mine" attitude so they don't really have a reason to argue. I would not be so stupid as to let Aria behave like that in the house if Capri tried to walk into the room, however.......cat fight ON. But neither are the types to start anything for no reason; they're pretty confident and easy-going for the most part. Capri has never started a real fight in my home (telling Slim to leave her puppies alone is different).

I give Aria credit for being so good with the cats and tiny dogs, as NUTSO as she is for small animals and pretty much anything else that resembles prey or a ball.You can see her mind working...she has this "damn, I'd really like to grab that thing and shake the tar out of it, but that would not be a good idea from a PR standpoint.." demeanor when she interacts with the Chis. Who can blame her; they zoom all around the yard at a hundred miles per hour and when they stop and she tries to visit with them, they're brats. On the contrary, she seems to really enjoy James' cat. I have that on my phone; I'll send you the vid. 

Very nice to see an old friend back home...again...!

P.S. To me...Once a puppy/dog is yours...They're always yours...! Even though you sell a puppy/dog...They're still always yours...

I remember seeing her as a pup. She is the one that I told you would turn out awesome. Nothing scientific on my part, but, had very strong feelings that she would be a great dog.
I liked that she was smaller. Still do.
She is gorgeous!

Hahaha.... I see that demeanor every day. As she picked up the ball I knew what it was about....posession. Didnt see the ball until she picked it up. Apache displays this very badly and strong. And I see it now popping up in his daughter as well. If you havent seen it in Capri, then its coming down from Ron, but it seems to have a genetic aspect to it.

It's possession, for sure, but it's possession of me and James particularly.  Slim was trying to come over to stand by James and she doesn't like him any closer to us than she is. In that clip, the ball was an afterthought. She is not over the top possessive of toys, at least not to the point where she gets in fights over them.  I see several traits that are not totally Capri, and must be coming from Ron's side. Those pups are more handler sensitive than any others. They also have an "edge" that I don't really know how to describe. Capri is super intense at times,  but is more happy-go-lucky in general than Aria. She fires up and calms down quickly. Aria is the opposite- usually intense, but has happy-go-lucky moments. An "edge" is really the only word I can think of to describe it. She's a tough dog to describe. She's a 'sleeper'. She looks so sweet and is soooo well-behaved in the house, but Lord, you do NOT want to get on her bad side. It was a short week before she had her teeth in my bf's arm. She didn't think he had the authority to tell her to sit and push her butt down when she refused.
