Alfie is now 6 months old and is quite reliable in the potty department. He loves doing tricks...he can sit, stay, go down, shake hands, beg, speak, lie down and not move when I pretend to shoot him and indicate with his paw which hand a treat is in. His companion, Kat, is only 2weeks younger and can sit, go down and shake hands....when she wants! These little dogs certainly have different characters but they love one another completely
