Here are a couple of six-month photos of Mika.  He is sixty-five pounds.  Mika is our pride and joy.  We have had several dogs over the years.  Mika is, by far, the best we've ever had.

He is loving, sensitive and extremely intelligent.  He has graduated from puppy kindergarten and is now in beginner dog obedience.  Mika is thriving both in work and in play.  He loves to play fetch, hide-and-seek and frisbee.  Daily, we go to the Cherry Creek Reservoir dog are where he is allowed to run off-leash and play with all of his friends.  They swim and play fetch in the water.

Mika will ot allow our two smaller dogs to walk ahead of him.  We are working on this.  He enjoys sniffing and nudging the cats.  We tell him to "be gentle" and he seems to understand and has never harmed them.

Yesterday, while playing in the water with another dog, several horses trotted by.  Both Mika and the other dog started running to the horses.  I said, "Mika no!"  He stopped immediately.  He came the first time i said, "Mika Come."  The other dog continued to pursue the horses - a dangerous endeavor.

A well-trained dog is not only a safe dog, but he brings such pleasure to those around him.  Thank you for Mika.  We will be ready for a playmate for him later this fall!!!

Eternally Grateful,

Brian, Kathy & Aaron Hugen
