I have to decide which direction to take - working or west German. Right now I'm leaning toward Julie. I want a true SchH dog but may not be ready for one yet (time and money...will have to get serious with a club b/c I am a total noob and don't know how to train in that style on my own).

Yep they are really nice. I pay $100 deposit per pet, on top of the $625 cleaning/security deposit. This will be my 6th pet (I have 3 cats). I keep the house and yard clean so I can get it all back.Originally Posted By: Sherushwhat a great landlord you have.![]()
