1. Yay Ozzy!
What a cutie!

We are saddled with slightly lower expectations for our Bella. We were just happy she FINISHED obedience class - the first day she cowered behind me shaking. :scared: (Actually, she did very well for her situation but I suspect your Ozzy may have enjoyed it more. ;) )

Congratulations! Love the pic!

3. I wasn't very optimistic about his chances in the beginning.

He was a wallflower, LOL! He was afraid of the other dogs (and the trainer), he cowered behind me or under my chair and he wouldn't participate in class at all. I thought I'd wasted my money. The trainer said, "Don't worry. They usually come around by the third week." Sure enough, during the third class, he began to socialize. By the fourth week, he was participating. On the eighth week, he graduated! :D


On edit: Forgot to say ... thanks for the congrats! :hi:

8. Ozzy thanks you for the praise.
:hi:

He's a schnoodle (schnauzer/poodle). I've been told he resembles a Cockapoo and a Westie, but your the first person who mentioned a Bichon. :-)

9. Well........I've got a VERY large Bichon.
Minus the curly coat. When mine has a "puppy cut" he looks just like Ozzy!!!

6. Thanks!
:hi:

He is intelligent, but stubborn. If he doesn't want to perform, he won't. It doesn't matter how many commands I give him or how many treats I try to bribe him with, LOL! He drives me crazy, but I love him to pieces! :loveya:
