Hi
Julie,
Julie,
We are the Leader
Dog puppy raisers for your Hoss x Faye Puppy. We named him Kodiak (Kodi), because
as you noticed he looks like a bear! He is doing very well, I teach high school
and he comes to work with me each day. Many of my students complain that he
sleeps too much, since they want to watch him play, rather than do their
assignments.

He will be the 7th
puppy we have raised for Leader Dog. I have been hoping for a GSD puppy–and
begging Bev and Sam. Boy, was I thrilled to learn we were getting Kodi! Our
first six pups were all Labs, they have all been good dogs, but make him seem
like an angel. All our labs inhaled their food. He actually chews it up and
tastes the food! He lays at my feet when I work at my desk, he has a wonderful
temperament.

The secretary at my
school, Shirley, always has puppy treats in her desk drawer for the puppies. She
volunteers to “puppy sit” so I can run to the restroom, or make copies during my
prep time. All the pups love Shirley! The Labs were so excited when they tried
to sit for their treat they could hardly sit still. Their tails wagged so hard
against her metal file cabinet, you would think it hurt! Lil’ Kodi goes right up
to her chair and sits just as if he were a full grown dog–after the 2nd trip to
her desk. On Friday, I knocked on Shirley’s window to let her know he was
coming and dropped the leash, he walked past four or five teachers went right
to Shirley’s desk chair and sat! She finished her phone call, and asked him if
he was ready for a treat, told him to “take it nice.” And “wowed” his
audience–they all agree he is a genius!

There are about 10
puppy raisers in the Central Illinois puppy group. This is the second GSD we
have had in the past 5 years. We used to tease the lady who was raising the last
one because he was so relaxed and calm. We would ask her if she had given him
benadryl or dramamine before they arrived for the training days. Most of our
labs are full of energy, especially mine after a three hour car ride. They need
a good 20 minute romp to burn off some of their excess energy, then they are
ready to work. It will be “pay back” time for me at our next meeting! Today at
the grocery store, he was so calm. No one would have believed it was his first
time there. He would lay down while I got whatever I needed off the shelf. Then
I had to encourage him to get up and come with me when I was ready to move on!
One guy said, “He wants to take a nap,” He offered to watch him while I
finished–his wife said, “Of course, he may not be here when you come back.”
They were ready to take him home and spoil him!

Several people have
asked where we got such a beautiful dog. Do you have a website, or can you tell
me if you want me to give out that information? I didn’t want to say until I
checked with you, so I just told them I would have to check with Leader
Dog.

Thanks so much for
letting us raise your puppy! We are really looking forward to spending this year
with him and watching him grow and learn.
