| As a young pup Tal got so
sick that he had to stay a week in the hospital. And shortly after he came
back to his kennel, he had to be shipped across the Atlantic to his new
home. As a result of the trauma, he reverted to wild animal behavior. He
wouldn't leave his crate if observed; he cautiously trotted from hiding
place to hiding place.
Now he still is a bit spooky, very concerned about his surroundings,
very affectionate with one half of the family (me) and still overawed by
the other half (Eli). And yet not scared at all of other dogs, loud noises,
agility, corrections, etc.
"Aunt Holit" is taking good care of the youngster and he is improving.
Tall, nicely built, very agile and fast, at home he looks really nice with
his tail curled over the back when he chases squirrels or barks at the
deer.
He likes to work and learns fast. When he matures, he will be a really
good dog (I hope). |
