I have a four-month-old Native American Shepherd Dog (AKA 'Native American Indian Dog' or NAID, not to be confused with the 'American Indian Dog') puppy. She's my first dog and continually amazes me. She's got an incredibly sweet disposition, and even when she gets bossy she's never aggressive, just keyed up. And all it takes to get her back to her usual self is a good energy-dispersing romp.
She especially blows me away with her smarts. If I point and tell her to look, she looks where I'm pointing, not at my finger. She can 'get' and 'bring' any object she knows the name of if it's within her attention-span range. As she gets older the range will, of course, grow. :) Anyway, I finally found my camera today, so...
You can't see her funny two-color-layer coat (under all that black is a dusty reddish tan undercoat) but most of her prettiness is visible. ^^
Hiding from the camera under the table.
Had to drag her out and set her on the couch.
Size comparison: Manitou vs. my mother.
Watch the cute evolve to ever-greater levels!
