Sass, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sass
Age: Twenty months old
Gender: Female Breed: Standard poodle
Home: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
 
   Sass is a princess. She hides her toys and bones from the two other dogs in the house, and this past week has taken to putting her rawhides on the kitchen counter: no counter-surfing is allowed, so none of the dogs can have a bone on the counter.

    Sass is an independent thinker. She doesn't ask to be petted. She figures things out for herself. She is a fast learner and likes to be challenged. She is doing Novice obedience training and will probably start competitive obedience next fall/winter. She gives a paw or a foot (her front feet are named differently) she rolls over, she jumps over things on command, she gives a hug, she can do a terrific down-stay or sit-stay from quite a distance and won't break it without a command (most of the time)! She does a stand-stay for examination, she can heel off-leash, retrieve a dumbbell. She loves to chase you or be chased around the yard.

    When you return after an absence she goes nuts, and she is very licky, would like to thoroughly clean you, and she leans against you (but is not otherwise very demonstrative in a golden-type way).
