Ryder aka Red Riding Hood (From Faith) Hi Sandi,
I hope you are doing well and enjoying all of your puppies! I really wish I could have another one now! I want to let everyone know how much I love my dog. You already know since we are now friends, and I'm as thankful for that as I am my dog.
I live in Georgia and manage a veterinary hospital. I have never purchased a dog online, and have always believed in meeting them in person first to learn about them. And, of course, most of my dogs have been rescues. However, once I read Sandi's website, I knew I was at the right place for me. Then I saw the cutest pup in the world and called about her. Luckily she was still available. We drove to Missouri to get her, and upon meeting both Sandi & Ryder, I knew the best was yet to come. I got her home, and I promise she only pottied in the house ONE time. I said "NO, MA'AM, we potty outside" very firmly and that is all it took! Unbelievable. She is now 9 months old, 65 pounds, and has never done it again.
She is extremely smart. She watches TV. (Seriously) She loves the National Geographic channel! She only wants to please and is the ultimate companion. She hates when I sit in the recliner instead of the couch with her. Sandi will tell you that jumping off furniture is bad for their knees, and it certainly can be. I do not let her on the bed as it is pretty high, but my couch is low, so that is ok with me. Sitting with her after a long day is the BEST. Ryder has adapted to my family, friends, and lifestyle perfectly. I am on the road a lot, and she is great in the car. She loves my son and our other (smaller) dogs and protects them. Our 3-pound chihuahua-yorkie mix thinks she is "bad to the bone" and sometimes challenges larger dogs she meets. Ryder will stand between them to make sure Izzy does not get into trouble! I have to say that getting her was the best decision I've made lately! She has turned out to be all I expected and more. I could not have asked for a better temperment for sure, and she has been very healthy. Sandi's love and devotion to her dogs, and her level of integrity make it impossible to find a better companion in my opinion.
Thank you Sandi for everything you have done. You are the best! I hope we can come see you again this summer.
Much love,
Chris, David, Ryder, Izzy, & Lil'man
