Thanks. Gordon's are gorgeous dogs. How do they compare personality-wise to the springers? I've only met a couple gordons a long time ago and am more familiar with the Irish.
Tornado-dog is quite a handful, but things usually get through his brain by the time I get to 2. It's usually "stop that. One. Two." and he's followed through with the command. If he's real excited, it can reach the " ...Two. I'm getting up. " before he remembers his rules. But he is a very fast learner.

A friend is considering getting a dog, so she'll work with Tornado-dog and I'll work with Cat-dog since she has to work through her issues.
The cats have actually adjusted to him quite well.
