I am a 76-year-old retired Lawyer and accountant who has been training animals since I was a small boy in outback Australia, where we never had domesticated pets, so I befriended and trained wild creatures, mainly birds and non-toxic reptiles. I used to go out into the bush and whistle for my friends; they would fly down, land on my outstretched arms, and eat from my hands.
I have lived in England since 2001, and in Eastbourne for the past 4 years. I have recently started the process of charming the wild birds out of the trees to land on my arms and eat out of my hands.
I have started these puppies off on the training cycle, so they now recognize their names and various commands, and they are already fairly house-trained.
These are outstandingly clever little doggies! They are renowned for being loving, loyal, and becoming deeply attached to the family they grow up with.
Be prepared to be loved to bits!!!
