Arrival Story:
Baxter was originally supposed to be the quest and purchase of a German Shepherd. That being said, we initiated a search far and wide (mom was a little picky about the type of GSD she wanted). She looked all over the internet and in the local paper, for a breeder but to no avail. One day in a long and faraway place (5 miles down the road) she stopped at a local pet store...just to look. They had a German Shepherd puppy, but there was also a cute fluffy soft dog that looked something like a lamb and a llama. Well the lamb looking dog won her over! She took one look at him and mama's heart was stolen. The breeder told us that he was a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. Momma never heard of this breed, but he was soooooo soft and playful that she decided to go home and think about it. As soon as she got home she searched the internet and she fell in love with the pictures of the puppies. They all looked like little Boyd Bears!! . Mom being the researcher that she is found a local breeder within the same hour. The local breeder sent her Baxter's picture and that was that, she had to go look at him.
She had a plan, she decided she was going to just go and look...even though she had enough cash on her. She was "just looking"! The other part of the plan was to negotiate a lower price. Momma drove and took several wrong turns, and shethought she was lost. But, just when she was about to give up she finally came across a dirt road. Finally, she found the house. One look at Baxter and she was done! She never even mentioned the price; she just scooped him up and left as fast as she could!! Somehow she had the idea that anyone with a puppy this cute couldn't possibly part with it! So...she was off and running with her new addition!!
Now, I know what you are thinking. You wanted a German Shepherd??? Do you have any idea what type of breed you got? The answer is yes...oh yes! I knew exactly what I was getting in to. The difference between a German Shepherd and a Terrier is huge! And that is where my mission began. My mission was to train this sweet little guy to be the most obedient and well behaved dog anyone had ever seen.
Lo and behold...Baxter ended up training me!! At first with training Baxter I thought that this puppy was as dumb as a rock. However, I discovered it was actually Baxter's superior intelligence over mine. Almost a year later and at my wit's end, I found that there are more ways than one to train, especially with a terrier breed. Baxter ended up teaching me to be patient, to be a nicer person, and what it truly means to love unconditionally. He has the amazing innate ability to pick up on emotions. His momma has become an amazing handler with no previous experience and trained Baxter to compete in Agility. Baxter is the sweetest boy I ever have met. The wait for a German Shepherd was a blessing in disguise!!
