Welcome!
I just wanted to "welcome" you and Belle. I have a "Belle" too. Her full name is Bama Belle but we just call her "Belle" for short. I think there are some other "Belle's" on the board too but not necessarily from Alabama. My Belle is 12 weeks old today. I went and observed a "rally" class Monday night that our local Montgomery DOC, Inc. was doing. I was SO impressed. Of course, those dogs had been through Puppy, Beginner and most of them had their CGC already. I am going to enroll Belle in the Beginner class since she will be too old for the puppy class when the new one starts. She already knows basic commands like "come" and "sit", and she walks on a loose leash really good for her age. Your Belle gives me hope that my Belle will get her CGC one day. I will be SO proud of her.
It's nice to meet you. Welcome to a GREAT website!!
