This time from Seeing eye, SE, where I had a great experience and was

Where did you get your shepherd from? You might have said, but I can't 
remember-- I'm sorry!! I agree. They're so quick. Beignet is my first guide,

but I plan to work only with shepherds. I grew up with them as pets and have

had nothing but positive things to say about them.
