I bought Freya when she was 6 and a half weeks old. Being who I am today and when I purchased her, I knew that she was too young. With all of my mom's puppies, I didn't know that was wrong and we got those puppies far younger than 6 weeks.

Despite her young age, she seemed to understand "No" and "come" very well. She was the first to have her ears perk up and the first to investigate the keys shaking when I visited.

She is highly independent puppy. She is highly intelligent and expressive. You can literally see the cogs in her head turning when she's sitting below and looking up at you.

She's doing fair on her potty training. She does her best at night when she's in her sleeping box. She has awakened me 3 times a night and now I find she is awakening me only 2 times a night.

She is feisty. She hates to be held and will try to bite you if you do it for too long. Well, she seems to do it more with other people than me, but still it is an issue to consider.

Freya is taking to the leash better than I expected and listens to me well. I love her very much.

I put her in the tub with me and she took to swimming well. She didn't seem too terribly scared so hopefully that trend continues.
