	Well, I have a one year old black and white pwd male. He is a pistol. I can see him running the White House. And guess what, his name is "Kona" named after the ironman world championship venue i competed in in Hawaii (triathlon). But problem is, this breed does not need as much stimulus as Obama appears addicted to give. Maybe he could teach Barack some tricks. Arni almost 3 years ago by Anonymous
