A friend of mine has been looking for the lady he bought an IS puppy from in 2005 and we have been unable to locate her. I fear she may have passed.

Although she minds pretty well when we are alone she is a terror when with other people or dogs. It took weeks to teach her not to jump on the kids at the elementary school and just enjoy them petting her. She is not aggresive, just goes into hyper play mode, and amnesia as to her training. Has…
