Peanut came from (originally) from a "reputable" breeder here in GA. I won't tell names and burst images.
Anyway, he did not know how to play. He just like to lie around and didn't want to play or even run. He didn't seem to know how. Well, a couple of nights ago, he starting pawing at my hand very lightly and was wagging his tail. So, I totally encouraged that!!! I was so happy. HE seemed to enjoy "getting" my hand and now every evening when we start to bed...He has to :get my hand" it is sooo cute. He hunkers down and wags his tail and will even do a little pounce and scratch at the covers to "get it". I wish I could video him doing this. It is so adorable.
I don't understand breeders that don't interact with the "stud dogs" or the moms... It breaks my heart. I wish I could rescue them all!!!!
