Greta

7/29/02 – 9/12/02

Greta was turned in as a stray to the Colorado Springs animal shelter. No one came to claim her. She’s a tall girl about 10 months old., and 50lbs with a small white star on her chest, a real pretty gal! She had a growth on one of her paws that was removed when she was spayed. She was a bit neurotic about biting at her bandaging and kept her foster family very busy watching over her. She gets along great with other dogs, she is full of energy and loves to run and play. She also loves to wrestle, but can be a bit rough for submissive/shy dogs. She is very interested in birds and prairie dogs and can’t be trusted off-leash. She is a quick learner, knows how to sit and is working on down and ‘off.’ She likes to jump on people/dogs/counters/couches/coffee tables/you name it, she gained the nickname ‘Goofy Greta’, but with training will learn what’s appropriate, after all she is just a puppy. She loves to snuggle and is a real sweetheart.

On September 12, 2002, Greta was adopted by a wonderful couple in Boulder, CO. They had been looking for a vizsla for quite some time. They are very athletic and excited to have a new running partner ("Hold on, Greta will give you a run for your money" ; -) Greta not only gained a wonderful mom and dad, but also an older brother Marley (a Gordon Setter.) Marley and Greta quickly became inseparable, running and wrestling. While Marley wasn’t too happy at first to share chew toys with Greta, he’s starting to enjoy having a permanent playmate (even if she can be a pesky little sister at times.) Greta and her new family will soon be moving to a newly built house in Aspen (full of doggie doors and a nice fenced yard) where Greta will be living the life of doggie dreams!
