Thank you SPOT!

We adopted Mr. Deke (Aussie Shepard mix) on March 5th and he fit right into our family and routines. While we were working with him that day, we realized that Mr. Deke just didn't suite him so my son sat on the floor and started saying different german town names and low and behold, Mr. Deke went right to him when he said the name Bergen.

We are so pleased with Bergen in how smart he is and quickly picking up commands and how he has such great house manners. While we were a little concerned introducing him (since he is so much puppy still) to our almost 15 year old Husky but they get along wonderfully and she actually enjoys having him with her.

He is doing much better on leash now and goes for a walk twice daily. We have enrolled him in obedience training classes and have no doubt he'll pick up the commands quickly. Although we have been trying to keep him off the bed, he is very attached to our son and actually goes to bed with him and once our son is asleep, he jumps down and sleeps on the floor in the hallway just outside his door.

Thank you again SPOT for introducing him to us and allowing us to adopt him! We absolutely LOVE him!!
