Zubin- I had known the breeder for then 7 years- on a waiting list for a show puppy- always ended up one short.. Finally the day to come get " John" ( zubin) I arrived to see the most beautiful set up I have ever seen in my LIFE! She walked me out to the kennel when I saw the pups playing in the open yard. I walked in- all came to see me- but quickly going back to play. I knew which one was 'John" but Sundance kept going over to me over and over- flopping his 40 pound body into my lap as I sat on the ground.. Zubin watched getting up to play with his sister ( Galina) but basically had already worn himself out. The breeder ( my dear friend) said " well what do you think?".. Painfully I said- well he is just beautiful- but this one ( pointing at sundance perched in my lap chewing on my shoes) this one is more open in temperment. She said " if you want an obedience dog - Sundance is the one- if you want show- its John..".. Then she let out the sire- and Zubin totally changed- running around, coming back to me- diving back at his dad. I could see his movement- clumsy but there... She said " Michael ( his dad) livens him up- but he is perfect for show- and reserved enough to deal with Hottie..".. I left- still with sundance on my mind..
I arrived home, to have my husband bring out HOttie and Femka- Zubin GROWLED.. We both laughed- then he licked hotties face- then femka and we came in the house- Zubin spend the better part of the day checking out the house- asking to go out- learned how to take a lead and wear a collar- and that the rest- well he owns the house...
