I received this from Ingrid's puppy raisers (we love hearing from our pups and their raisers!):

Just have to tell you again how grateful we are for all the guidance and affection that Ingrid received under your care. She is the most gentle and loving and smart little girl (ouch! but she does bite :-) We are working on that. Psychologists say that we are a product of nature and nurture. Your gang certainly did provide the necessary ingredients to fully nurture Ingrid. She sits on command; retrieves and drops toys almost on target; knows "kennel", "let's go" and "hurry", takes her toys to something that looks like a bed, curls up at our feet while we work in the kitchen (even if the food is not for her); subsequent to a barking good time on nights two and three, she is a silent sleeper; during class #2 she was the only quiet puppy during crate time - she is just plain wonderful! It took us 3 months to train our first puppy how to retrieve and drop. Fred had to make believe he was a puppy to demonstrate retrieve and drop! How did you accomplish so much with Ingrid in such a short time? People can't get over her beautiful coloration and her little "mohawk" hairdo on her nose. Blessings upon you all as you continue raising exceptional puppies for exceptional people.

p.s. Ingrid says "hi" to Izzy
