    Mystery for they were picked up as strays in Alabama. Fostered 10 days down there then shipped up here and fostered 10 days before going to the shelter for viewing. So 20 plus days out of their 12 weeks were under shelter type care as in the fostering . 12 weeks and 21 & 23 #'s they are by no means fat. Alabama have a lot of Mnt cure AJ was a malinois, bully breed, cure, shepherd. I may get a test but I'm honestly not that curious. They've shone their personalities and intelligence already.

    Well I can't see him picking one over the other. I knew this when he brought them home. I'm stepping back making him realize the work involved. They managed to take him out yesterday when I left him alone with them. I got a few calls when gone. Still in love with them already..
    I'm also stepping back because they chose me the second we met, following my every step laying at my feet when doing dishes or dinner.

    Day 3 and they are potty free in nite crate. They cry when they need to go. I was able to tip their nails and they barely looked at me at the snips. I then walked both to the coop. Walked together on my lef with barely a tug had. Got to the coop and released the birds. Toms in full display gobbling spitting, drumming ,roosters crowing chickens clucking. They backed up a bit spooked, then sat quietly just watching it all. Lucky finally decided to check out the bronze Tom. Slowly walked to him head and body down and submissive. Tom bolted and Lucky backed away to check out a turken chicken. They turned and left on my command. Zero aggression, puppy excitement, barking or whining. Just quiet curiosity. I am so impressed.
    Mind you they were typical puppies at home when sons boxer greeted us outside in the yard. Jumping , chasing and barking playing with him.
