Doggie photoshoot and bios

Today, like any other, I was working with Scamp and Rooney and taking pictures of them. And when I was going through the photos I picked out pictures I thought showed Scamp and Rooney's personalities. So here are their bios...

Scamp 

Scamp is the first dog I ever got. He was born on May 15, 2003; and he got his name from the rascally character Scamp, in "Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure." He is an Alaskan Malamute mix, I'm not entirely sure what else he is mixed with. I sometimes say he's Alaskan Malamute, German Shepherd, Yellow Lab mix. Because he loves to be in water, so that's why I think lab, but the vet wasn't sure if he was Malamute or Shepherd. After doing some research, I think he has more Malamute than Shepherd. Because he is a major howler, plus he sheds big time in the summer. Scamp is a complete 180 from what he was as a puppy. When we first got him, he was wild and unruly. Now, he's calm, obedient and willing to please. Scamp knows a number of commands and tricks, including: Sit, Stay, Come, Down, Leave it, Get it, Stop, Back, In, Out, On, Off, Up, Speak, Bow, Pose (beg), and Shake (with both paws). And not long after we got Scamp, he learned how to open gates. He'd open the gates and let himself out of the yard, even at the vet. So now I only use that "trick" for whenever my hands are full and I can't open the gate.


Rooney
My second dog, Rooney, is a German Shepherd, (possibly) sheltie mix. Who was also born in May, on the 8th of 2010. He is all energy. He's always moving, can't sit still...at all. So getting that picture you see, was one of a hand full where he was sitting still. For, like, 5 seconds. Anyways, Rooney is a smart puppy. Because of his high energy and high level of excitement, he gets easily distracted, therefore it takes time to train him. But little Rooney has learned a few things, he knows the basic sit, down, come, and stay. I'm always working with him, trying to burn off all that energy he has, which is gonna take a long time. But on the plus side of have Rooney around, he has helped Scamp lose weight. And Scamp has helped train Rooney.

So there's a little bit about my dogs, and I'll keep posting as long as they keep learning!
