“Elizabeth,

All goes well at the Hendrix house. “Otto” (as my family has decided) will be his call name and we are still working on his registered name, is doing VERY well. He is quickly adapting to southern Idaho through inclusion in everywhere we go. He slept through most of the night last night in our bedroom. The first couple of nights were somewhat noisy. He is eating well, going on regular walks and interacting great with our older dog. We are happy with his progress. Listed below are some random observations from another dog guy.

• I really like his body type at this point. I am not a AKC Standards expert but I see a compact, powerful front end, very nice movement with good front reach and rear drive.

*Very balanced temperament with a high level of focus and a strong curiosity.

*Strong attachment to new owners.

*Easily trainable with good food motivation and ball drive.

Outside of that, he is a vocal guy with almost a melodic sense. We will continue to expose him to our world and insure he has the right development. Our youngest daughter is coming home from college tomorrow with 9 friends. He will absolutely be the center of attention.

We are happy with him and will send pictures in the next few weeks.

Talk to you soon.”
