Ignoring whatever it is you want him to do.

Arrival Story:
Rudy came to us from a shelter when we lived in Minnesota. He was probably about 4 years old at the time, so we don't know much about his early years. Recently, our aunt's elderly dog died, so Rudy went to live with our aunt on the West Coast. He's happy as can be & thinks it's perfect being the only dog - after all, isn't that the way things should be? See him with the champagne & the mountains in the new picture.

Bio:
Rudy is not much on obedience training, although he did pass a basic class. He is very well behaved most of the time & loves playing with Heidi, Toby or other dogs in the neighborhood. He's worked as a therapy dog in nursing homes and is just the right size little dog for the old folks to have in their lap. He knows just how cute he is & never hesitates to put on the charm. His biggest fear is thunderstorms - he trembles at the very hint of lightning or thunder.
