My puppy, Rudy, also very intelligent and stubborn, is only 8 months old, and I've found myself in full-blown panic at the thought of losing him 15 years down the road, so I kinda get it.
Jinda is gorgeous! The love of a dog is so pure. I like dogs better than people, no hidden agendas, no complications, just love and treats. Enjoy and love your beautiful girl.
