What a fine dog! And talented too. Dals have a reputation for aloofness...but mine are marvelous around children (and very patient with them, which they have to be, because they get mobbed all the time).

The previous photo was my male, Chance, this is my female, Emma:

They need lots of TLC and more important they need to be part of the pack (family) You don't tie one to a dog house all day and expect them to be normal when you get home. Sparky gets to go to work with me everyday and sleep on the floor of the office (when he dosn't sneak off to the couch!)
