She has one more socialization class and then we will move on to obedience. We already have training time each day, which she really enjoys.

Chloe Faith (formerly known as Liza) has enchanted many people in our travels. She loves everyone she meets. I am constantly told what a beautiful mini schnauzer she is! We continue to socialize her but you've given her such a spectacular start in life, not only with the socialization, but the crate training, and potty training. She has slept quietly in her crate from the first night we brought her home. Potty training has been going well with her also, even with the challenge of the cold and wind!

Here's Liza/Chloe at 12lbs at months old. We've been continuing the socialization and she's been lucky to have some unique experiences. We live aboard our motor yacht, and she loves marina life! Lots of people, sights, sounds, shorebirds, even navigating the dock and ramps-nothing phases this puppy!

She is fascinated by running water whether coming out of the spigot or going down the drain. Can't figure were it goes... When first clipped she is very light and then as her coat grows it darkens again, a little brown in her beard. Naps in afternoon, alive at night for her time to play, and, of course a nighttime treat before bed. In the yard she chases birds and squirrels, but when we walk, every morning about 2 miles, she stays right beside me. Sometimes, afternoon or evening walks too. Her disposition is sweet and everyone makes a fuss over her and there's a greyhound that's her best friend."
