[nagdu] Shannon, male dog

[Marsha Drenth]

Shannon and all,
I have a black lab cross, for one year now. GDF is awesome! I loved loved loved the training, the staff, my instructor. Everything, I can't say I really have a complaint. I am sticking with GDF.

When did you know, that you and Ace would become a good team? was there that AHH HA moment? Just curious..I have been with my pup for a little over a year now.
