Speak Now Spritz

Hi! I'm Speak Now Spritz but my friends call me Spritz! I am the perfect package if you are looking for a slightly more mature puppy! Here are a few things about me. Health & Diet: I'm a healthy 55lb girl with a good appetite. I love tough Himalayan yak chews-I'm a bit of a power chewer so the stronger the toys, the better! As a heads up, I do get a little car sick sometimes. House Training: I'm becoming a total pro at house training. I even use a bell to go outside (though I use it a little too much to get extra yard time). Outdoor Life: I absolutely love being outside, whether I'm sunning myself on the deck or sprinting after balls. Training & Commands: I just graduated from basic obedience training! I know my commands and will "sit" and "wait" patiently for food or toys. "Home" is my word for my crate. Crate Manners: I sleep like a champ in my crate from 10 PM to 7 AM with no issues at all. Socializing: I'm a social butterfly! I behave perfectly at parks or kids' sports practices. I love watching people and making new dog friends of all sizes.
