Rachel arrived from the Iowa City area into our home just recently. She has already spent a LOT of time checking out the back yard and blazing a trail around the yard while playing with our other dogs. Rachel spent several months in the Iowa City facility and never was able to find a home...still hoping for that perfect place to call her own. Rachel does very well in the crate and seems to be completely house broken. She is also very quiet and we have only heard her bark three times since she arrived a week ago. That is pretty amazing given the fact that we have 5 other dogs which bark occasionally. She is very energetic and seems to think that she is a tiny lap dog that can sit on your lap...shoulders...chest...wherever. Since her arrival, those instances have dwindled and she is able to accept the fact that she receives the same amount of love and attention irregardless if she is on top of someones lap. She is very trainable and went through basic command course and dog agility course while at the Iowa City facility. She is a joy to have and loves to play and run with our other pointers. You better have some good chew sticks though, she can eat a rawhide faster than our 114 pound weimeraner!!
