I think you'll have to train them to learn to "pray".

I third the recommendation! Also have a Blackthorn dog and she is a major part of me. She is the perfect dog for me!

And even if you don't buy from Christine, her blog is way fun to read.

I really enjoy reading Christine's posts too!
I think that she would "honestly" help you find a nice puppy, whether it is from her or a breeder referral.
Good luck!

I'm late to the game here, but here's another recommendation for Blackthorn puppies! We have a Bandit x Xita puppy and Christine did an amazing job understanding our family dynamic and helping us find the perfect puppy. We love ours and would happily go back to Christine again (if I could talk hubby into Puppy #2 AND we had time to devote to said Puppy #2)

She has really gorgeous German show line pups..
Good luck whatever you decide.

My wife and I are going to check out Haus Juris on the 25th, I like blackthornes dogs, but we really want a black and red/tan. I know that's the least important trait, but when comparing dogs of high quality it was the tie breaker that caused us to contact Haus Juris first.

We just picked a 9 week old female puppy out a Haus Juris yesterday. She's very red and black, exactly the look we wanted and even more importantly she has an awesome little personality. So far no accidents in the house or on the 3.5 hr car ride home. She whined for about 30 minutes then slept from 12-6am this morning. Took her out to potty and tried to go back to bed until 8, but by 7 she was still whining so we just started our day early. I'm in an apartment until we move into our house on the 1st, hopefully she won't whine night tonight in her crate as I know my neighbors can hear her.

Our cats are doing ok, one is curious and is now approaching her and watching intently, the other is hiding under the bed...

Todays plans are to crate the dog and drive around town a little, it's a cool (high 47) day so the dog will be ok in the car during breakfast and church. I can't wait until her last round of shots so we can get her out of the car/house.
