I haven't posted on this because I am upset about the situation.

We took Drake to see Samantha and they got along OK. Drake's hackles were up and he was growling. She layed down and showed us he belly and that was the end of it. They played fine.
The lady at the shelter said they would have to make a home visit because they require a fenced in yard for their larger breeds. I explained to her that we were in AZ on TDY (Temporary Duty) and were staying at a 1 bedroom apartment but were planning on getting a home with a fenced yard when we got to Germany. She said that she couldn't let us adopt Samantha, she was a puppy and needed alot of exercise. I was pretty P.Oed! Some people accuse Andrew and me of over exercising Drake. She also said that the trip over seas was too much for a puppy. Drake made the same trip when he was under 1 year old!! He was fine!

So, we have decided to rescue a dog once we get to Germany. A large dog!
