Both have been fairly easy to train as far as sit, down, etc. Holly has "come" down pat. Gracie never got "come" until she was over a year old, and even now to her "come" means "stay still". That is an improvement over "catch me if you can". |
This is off topic, but I see that you got one of your girls at 8 weeks. The breeder I'm getting Abby from said I could bring her home at 8 weeks and I've read here that you should wait until at least 12 weeks. After reading that you've had an easier time with Gracie than Holly, I have to wonder what the best choice will be for me and my new baby. I want the happiest, healthiest puppy possible.
