Laika-Lu is my first totally naturally reared dog and she was well worth the wait. She is possibly the smartest and most sensible dog I have ever known. Laika does have a tendency to be the "fun police" with the puppies and I just laugh because I know that her mother was the same way. She has just started her show career and took BOBP and and Puppy Group three at her second AKC show, what a great start! Laika and I will be starting class soon, first to get her CGC and then to start agility and dabble in Rally along the way, she is so biddable and smart that it would be a waste of raw talent not to go as far as she wants.
