This is Charli. She was born Nov1st 2008 and is my little ball of energy!! I have owned several dogs and own 2 30lb cats, but this is my first puppy, and it sure is an awakening experience. I've ordered Perfect Start/Finish and hope to have her by my side in the field next year. And yeah, she's the smartest dog in the world....and the cutest too

Here she is the day I brought her home at 8 weeks

She was the runt. Her brothers and sisters were double her size. I think she was about 9 lbs
As you can see she's been growing pretty steady with a healthy dose of food and exercise!!

Now if I could just get her to relax a bit and stop trying to play with the cats all the time, I could have more moments like this!!
