Quote From Your Pure Bred Puppy

|
|
He loves to leap, and he is incredibly
graceful and light on his feet, without equal as a high-jumper and
broad-jumper. Fences must be at least six feet high - the top of the
refrigerator is not out of his reach. |

His yard must have a high fence, for
he is an excellent jumper. Off-leash walks would be foolish; he can be out
of sight in seconds and has no traffic sense. |
