Thanks, Par! I was hoping to see you reply.

Training is great! He's had two basic obediance classes, and they've helped so much! He's almost perfected heel, he just need to remember to sit when I stop.
We're thinking of getting him de-barked...he's a HUGE barker, and his sire was debarked, because he was a non-stop barker. Have any info or comments on that?

I'm so excited because only about two or three more monthes until he can start agility classes. He's about 45-50 lbs.

EDIT**
He's prefect at stay too. I can tell him stay once, and even turn my back and walk away and go pretty much as far as I want as long as it's in his sight range. He's sooo smart. I'll make a thread with pictures of him doing tricks.
