Carrie-
Sorry it's taken me so long to update you on Akiva. She is doing wonderfully! We think she's up to 32 lbs. now. I've attached a recent pic for you.
We have started doing some training with her. She can now sit, lay down, stay, come, bark, growl, and even play dead when we pretend shoot her (stupid pet trick).
Akiva is incredibly smart, very protective, beautiful, and really different than our golden retriever. It's very obvious that she's a working dog, so we do our best to work her. One of our favorite games is hide and seek. With a large yard and house she can really get some exercise and stimulation. You can tell that she's starting to use her sense of smell to locate us. She's actually become very good at finding us and seems to have caught on to what we're doing. It is a challenge to hold her back though when one of us is trying to hide!
Thank you again for all you've done for us. Akiva is such a joy and we are thrilled to have her in our family. Hope you have a blessed new year!
