I've had Darla for about a month and she's a great dog. Loves to ride in my truck and be petted. You can't pet her enough. She minds very well. I take her most places that I go. If I don't take her, she’s fine in the yard. She doesn't seem to mind at all. We go to the river and follow a trail that goes to a bridge that crosses the river and then come back on the other side. About three miles. I take her off the leash when were on the trail and she sticks around me all the time. I take her there 3-4 times a week. It was pretty much for her, but it's good for me to walk and run to. Great companion. Here's a few pictures. -- Jim
