Greycie - Shes the best!

Greycie has been part of our family for over a year and a half and in that time she has been impressive from the start.  She is a Red Merle and weighs in at 27 pounds.  Her fur is exceptionally soft, and her markings are beautiful.

Her arrival at 8 weeks introduced her to our family and our 12 year old Cavapoo Dexter.  She watched and learned from Dexter and immediately showed us her intelligence, inquisitiveness and joyful nature.  Dexter taught her to be calm and enjoy the slower pace of life, he also taught her to patrol the backyard and secure their domain.

Greycie is a quick learner and in many instances learns with the first introduction to a new command or game.  Do not say the word ball unless you intend to spend at least 15 minutes playing fetch.  She anticipates our activities and loves to be involved.   Independence is a wonderful attribute; however, she enjoys being involved in everyone’s comings and goings and is watchful and engaged in all of our activities.  She loves being a part of what is happening, from watching us cook in the kitchen, to doing yard work, if she could help with the laundry she would, and in her own way she does by stealing our socks out of the basket.

From an early age Greycie was socialized with friends and family and other dogs.   She is welcoming and intuitive when meeting other dogs.  Doggie daycare playdates were her favorite, and she was drawn to the larger breed dogs.

True to her breed she is an avid outdoorsman.  She loves to be outside in the yard, at the park, and at our neighbor’s homes.   One of her favorite activities is going on a trail walk or run.  She is a tireless companion while exploring the trails at our Patapsco State Park known for its extensive hiking and biking trails.  She runs off leash during the trail walk and stays within our circle when called.  She quickly learned about soccer from our youngest daughter Paige, initially the ball was bigger than her, but she persisted and learned to carry and chase it with ease.

She is an excellent travel companion having taken trips to Michigan, Kentucky and North Carolina.   Her most favorite vacation is her grandparent’s lake house in Michigan.  ATV rides, pontoon boat rides and hanging with her lake dog friends in and out of the water brings her joy and happiness.  She takes daily car rides with our oldest daughter Claire to Starbucks, all the employees come out to greet her, and know her by name.
