Description of the Border
My husband and I had gone to dog shows for years and talked and talked about getting a dog. We read books, we talked to breeders, but never made the move to get on a list for a puppy. One Christmas eve my husband decided to start emailing and were completely surprised the breeder just happened to have a litter available. Just one month later we were driving to pick her up! The breeder picked her out for us since we were just interested in a pet. One of the first things she did was roll on her back and show us her fat puppy tummy. She has been our girl ever since!
We love our dog! Scout is everything we hoped for and more. Her exuberance, playfulness and love has been such a joy. We travel with her, kayak with her, hike with her. She is always ready for anything. She is brave and funny and cute as they get. She lives up to her name by being such a little tomboy and always wanting to be in front checking things out. She is mistaken for a boy all the time. She loves to play with other dogs, all shapes and sizes. She's a smart girl and can have a mind of her own. She loves to roughhouse and wrestle. Scout doesn't really bark much, but definitely communicates with her eyes, body language and assorted funny squeaks and grrrrr's. She has a very intense do-my-bidding stare. She is always in a good mood, but sometimes a girl needs her space.
She was so happy when her sister came to live with us and she had someone to play with. Scout was instrumental in getting Tully to come out of her shell and start having fun. She would pick up a toy and literally hit her over the head with it. They are best buddies now!
