Don't shoot me Ed, but I wouldn't have sent puppies. Your dogs are outdoor kennel dogs:) My babies have to be house dogs w/ very little time alone. Hey, they are pets and much loved family members first and I'm sticking to it! I'm looking for a dog to be a house dog, member of the family, not crated 8+ hours a day, fenced yard (NO invisible fence)...and you know what???? I find those homes <G>.
