Jim, Congratulations in advance on the pup. A dog though they can be a real pain in the @ss are, are well worth the hours of joy they give. The Yellow Dog puppy, who is now almost as big as the Old Yellow Dog is from a ranch in Nebraska. If you think I do homework on stocks you should see when I research a pup. I drove from Colorado to the flatlander sticks to get him, one thousand miles in that "bigass" Blazer as Joanie puts it. Diving home the pup fell asleep in the kennel and when I looked to check on him, he was asleep giving "the sign". Sure enough the market corrected. He called the last pull back. I paid five hundred for the pup and his pedigree is the best I've ever seen. Although most of his training I have done, sit, stay, here, down, heel, "watch him" (for intruders), mark (tells him to watch the birds fly, as they are about to drop), over (go left or right), back, leave it (all dogs pick up nasty things) tells him to drop what ever is in his mouth. Just to name a few. He is at the age now that he will start his lifes work, his training for what he will do will start soon. I'd have no problem turning him into a Field Champion like most the dogs in his family. This pup has the best nose and brain on a dog I have ever seen, so the question of the dog should do is very important. Any dog I've ever had before, what they would do was never in question. They would be a family member (not pet) and they would hunt. I may train the Yellow Dog pup as a rescue dog or a dog that finds children or lost people. I could train him to be the dog they want after something like the bombing of the Federal building. The dog would be fantastic at such duties but I'm not sure I want to deal with it. I never could deal well with children being hurt, not when I was a medic, not when I worked in hospitals, and chances are, not now. I treated them, I never showed it but children always got to me. So I really have to think about this one. Then again maybe if someone has to be the guy to deal with such a thing it should be me because of where I've been in my life and what I've done. Anyway Jim as long as a dog is a friend then they are well worth it. When I worked in the corporate world building better medical mouse traps, I worked for a multi-billion dollar company. Since few knew what I did, I did the hiring although those looking for a job didn't know it. I was just one more corporate guy in the line of people but, in truth I was the only one with veto power. At some point in every interview I asked "do you have any pets?". If you owned a dog, you got points. To care for a dog one must be willing to care willing to be responsible. That dog question never failed me or the company I worked for. We hired some of the best the company ever had. 909ers BLUE
