There is definitely something to be said for meeting a dog in person.  Ziggy is a very loving and intelligent boy and at this point, we haven't seen anything phase him in the least.  Not even a little bit.    From flying to Oregon from Indiana, going home with new people and new dogs to Cindy's little two and four-year-old grandkids  -- he not only takes it all in stride, but handles it in his own easy-going and happy way.  What a phenomenal boy!   His temperament exceeds the descriptions, his conformation is spot-on for what we felt we needed for Gracie  and we are thrilled to have had the opportunity to meet him.
