Rusty is now 1 year old and 45 pounds! She is our wonderful little (big) girl. She is certainly showing her ability to think on her own (The Corgi in her), but she still maintains her training (sit/down/stay/come/place/out/leave it/kisses). Rustolia's personality is just wonderful. She is easy going, stable and loves snow & cold weather - yes we have had a little snow & cold weather. Rusty's and her "little" sister, our 9 month old American Pit Bull, (who is 46 pounds) get along very well - training them, then loving them, is the key. Rustolia even understands that when I say "Nala Come", Rusty is not to come, but only "come" when I say "Rusty Come". My daughter may take our Pit Bull when she leaves college but, without a doubt, Rusty stays with us!
