this email came from the owner of Rosie who is one of Our Sel.Ch. Braunhaus Samuari ex Ponca Hill's WOW bitch pups.This litter is so smart, I wanted to share this email with you all. It's from Rosie's owner and see how smart these gsd really are .Riley is their other gsd. EMAIL: This morning it was so cute. Riley had a rawhide bone and Rosie wanted it. I always have 2 available but Rosie wanted the one Riley had. So, she tried bartering for it. She put her stuffed toy down in front of Riley but that didn't work. Next was a rope toy, nothing doing. Then her soft squeaky ball, nope. Finally her glow in the dark ball. Still didn't get her bone. So, she lay there and yipped like a puppy right in front of Riley. When that didn't work she just stared. Finally she got up, went to the door and barked like someone was outside. Riley got up to take a look and Rosie ran over to the bone, grabbed it and ran off. She's such a stinker. They are both very very smart, but I always tease Jim that Rosie has the devil in her. Her play drive is so strong I'm sure she would have made a great S&R dog. Riley on the other hand is just happy to cuddle and be pampered. She is great when I go somewhere cause I don't have to worry about putting her on the leash. When I get her collar she gets all excited and sits while I fasten it then runs to the door. When she gets out of the car with me she stays close by and doesn't run off. Such characters. LOL We love them both and I think they know it.
