Arrival Story:
We weren't planning to get a second dog but one day I was at the breeder's house and met Ralphie. He sucked up to me and wouldn't take no for an answer. We thought about it for a couple of weeks and decided we couldn't live without him. Nick was not too pleased the first couple of days, but then he realized that there was now someone who shared a lot of his interests: barking at dogs that dare to walk by on OUR sidewalk, squirrel hunting, sniffing every single tree while on a walk, and using the cat box as a treat dispenser.

Bio:
Ralphie loves to be spoiled and we love to oblige with kisses, belly rubs, and bits of yummy people food. He is very well-trained, even though he was so bored during our one attempt at obedience class that we decided just to "home school" him. He and Nick were both clicker-trained. Ralphie is the biggest sweetheart you could ever hope to meet.
