Faro

Faro turned two in September but today is acctually the two year anniversary since we got him. He was just a fur-ball two years ago on the snowy day we drove him home to Helsinki.

Now after two years with such an active puppy he is slowly calming down and we are so happy to have such a beautiful, funny and clever dog. He's quite head-strong which he completely use against me but nowadays I'm aware of it and try to think one step ahead of him, with more and less success :-)

But the things I love most about him is his playfulness & mischief, the way he knows to be gentle around kids and the cleverness.

Faro and his sister in Finland:

And yes, it is a breed that needs some activities or thinking every day and soooometimes we have maybe not been super motivated to train with him but usually that has not been a problem. The worst I think is the first morning walk, but that is just something that comes with every dog.

In the end I think we chose a good dog-breed for us so it was good that we took a lot of time thinking of that. Even if I'd love to have a new Faro-puppy I am quite curious of trying another breed one day. We have also been considering perhaps taking a dog that needs a new home one day, but there is of course always a risk in that. But we'll see, no more dogs until we are back from Sweden at least :-)

Stefan also posted some pics of Faro for the anniversary.
