Puna Vika! a.k.a. Miss Barks-a-lot



Our new puppy! She is a 9 month old rescue and she is so sweet, smart, and strong! We learned yesterday she barks a lot and really loud. The rescue people failed to mention that fact when they were deciding if we'd be a good match for her. She loves ice cubes and is now starting to calm down since we got her a few toys to play with. She requires a firm hand but is great on a leash if no one else is around. As soon as there are people or other dogs, she goes crazy. It's going to take some time to get her trained to handle all the goings-on in the shop but we have no doubt she will be a wonderful shop dog.

Vika is showing some good search & rescue traits as well. She likes to sniff everything, is very attentive, and learns fast. Last night we were tossing some toys around the yard and at first she liked playing the keep away game until she figured out I wouldn't come and get the toy from her. It then became much more fun to actually bring the toy to me. See? Fast learner.
