    Shadow...I can't think of any! She has always been a super good dog, no issues with people or other dogs, never has chewed up anything...shes getting older and a little more sore now so her biggest problem is growling at the younger dogs when they're playing but thats about it.

    Mini...overall she is a great dog, her biggest problem would have to be jumping up on people when they come over or critter killing. She loves to go "hunting" in the backyard and usually ends up killing bunnies, squirrells, coons or opossums

    Micki...hmmm, where do I begin...He is dog aggressive, he hates overly hyper dogs, he doesn't like men, he likes my dad and brothers but thats about it.But with these issues he has gotten 89% better...we still have some work but he can walk through a crowd of people and dogs now without incident, we wouldn't have been able to do that 2 years ago. He also barks and barks and barks when people come over and he doesn't shut up until they acknowledge him. He is also a critter killer, a squirrell chaser and a trash eater.

    Kyra - She is terrified of new people and since shes small everybody that comes over wants to pick her up and she absolutely hates new people picking her up. She also is very noisy and is very protective of my mom.

    Jack - He is super good most of the time, he gets along with other dogs when hes offleash but has an onleash problem. He also is horrible with distractions and will pay no attention to me if there is another dog nearby. We are starting obedience classes tomorrow, hopefully this will help. He also thinks hes Kyra-sized. He trys to walk on end tables or climbs on top of people that are on the couch. He also can't be trusted out of his crate during the day, he gets bored really easily and eats things...like the couch. He gets in the trash and in the laundry, if I have a pair of pants that had treats in them at one time he eats out the pockets (Micki does this too).

    Lucy- She's shy around children and she doesnt know how to act around them.Thats about it,i cant think of anything else! Edit- She pulls on the leash like a mad-man!I'm still working on it with her.

    Kodie- Doesnt come when called,so he cant be offleash in the front yard like Lucy . Stubborn with training. Likes to steal pillows and destroy them But he hasnt done that in a while since we put all the pillows away,lol. He likes to dig when he's bored. Hmm,,thats about it for him.Other than that he's a well behaved dog!

    Very interesting thread...

    Roxey, I would have to say her one and only downfall is digging. She does it much, much less than she did when she was a pup.

    Huney, if she's really wanting in the house she'll press her nose to the door and paw a little, and when we first start on walks she'll pull but then after a bit she'll quit.

    Bon, MY only problem with him is his jumping. Not that he jumps on us, but he gets too overly excited when we have company and will jump on them. It only takes a few minutes for him to calm down but this behavior is unacceptable since he's so huge...he could knock you down.
    He's been aggressive towards other dogs but I don't fault him for that.

    Now that we've stated our dogs behavioral problems we need to say their good characteristics, we sound like we have bad dogs

    Huney, Bon & Simba-missed so very much
