There is more to the story as to our difficulties in actually obtaining her from the Humane Society, but after all was said and done, she is ours.
She is one of the smartest dogs i've yet met, very sharp, and incredibly gentle. One would think that a puppy of six months who is a collie-shepherd cross would have a fair bit of crazy energy, but she is as responsive and docile as a 5 year old dog.
You can definitely tell she has German Shepherd in her with those qualities.
I very much understand why they make good police dogs. After only 4 weeks she already knows 6 commands.
"out of the kitchen" is one of my favorites.
