ILFINDOR's Homepage
Hello everybody!
My name's Foxridge's Lord of the Rings, but friends call me Ilfindor. I'm a four month old Dobie and I love to meet people, play, eat, poop, sleep and chew on almost everything including hands. My favorite toy is Mr. Frog, but I also have a wide variety of differently shaped bones and Kongs.
I understand both English and Italian.
Mom says I'm a wonder puppy 'cause I learned the command "sit" when I was 7 weeks old after just 3 repetitions. Now I know several other commands as well and my parents are very proud of me. My favourite activity is playing but I also have some duties like walking my parents around. Especially my daddy. He really likes to walk. Lately he has been teaching me to sit at curbs before crossing the street and honestly I have no idea why, but it makes him happy, so I do it.
I'm a very silent puppy, I never bark and I cry softly just a little bit if I finished my water. I only growl at myself when I chase my tail in circles. At a certain point I start feeling dizzy and I stop. It would be so much easier and a lot more fun if they didn't cut it, but my Mamma (she's Italian...) says it's because strong boys like me can break it if they're happy near a wall. Oh, well..
I'm also my grandma's pet-therapy. In fact, several years ago she was severely bitten by thtree German Sheppard (can't give out names...) while she was biking on the street and since then has been afraid of any dog, especially those who grow into big ones like me. Now we go for walks together and she likes me. As for me, I like her sandals. Blue leather... They just look like they were made for me to chew...
I'm also a showdog. In a couple of months I'll start the AKC competitions but that "stand and stay" position is so boring... The only interesting thing is the treat I get afterwards.
Thank you for visiting my homepage. Enjoy!

Ciao,

Ilfindor
Where's the treat? I don't work for free! Daddy please! Don't run away with my toy!

This is one of my most recent pictures. In this one my future handler Linda Mattson is evaluating me. She thinks I'm handsome though I'm not performing a perfect stance...  :P
What can I do? It's so boring to stay still..I wanna go play with all these pumpkins!

This is me and my Daddy in my room. Isn't it cozy?
This is me hugging my sister. I haven't seen her in such a long time!
Just chilling out...
But what about my brothers and sisters? Can't they come too?

I'm home! It's so cozy here! I also have a little room for myself, lots of toys, and my stuffed dinosaur. I have a huge green kennel...it could fit 10 puppies... What a waste...
I was born on the 17th of july 2002 and here I'm with my Mamma at the breeder's house. I'm 7 weeks old now and Mamy is bringing me to my new home! How exciting!
P.s.: I didn't throw up in the car... I'm actually the only one of my litter who enjoys car rides.
I love you mamy...
Having fun daddy?
