We (Rusmin & Rianti) adopted Chicopee in October 1999 from foster mom Sarah (Saz) (then) of New Haven, CT. Having a great success with Chicopee, we adopted Agy in October 2000 from Pam & Rex of Atlanta, GA. In both cases, I flew to pick them up myself. (The idea of shipping dogs is a bit traumatic to me.) Essentially both minpins were my birthday presents. We found them both from IMPS web site.

Chicopee is black/tan, spayed female, docked, uncropped, 16", 16lb, super smart, very sensitive to human moods, huge vocabulary, party girl, the lead, est birthday Nov 1998. Agy is red stag, spayed female, docked, cropped, 11", 10lb, super sweet, lap dog, great sniffer, the darling of all dog parents/friends, est birthday Jan 1994. They both are very healthy, shiny, clean, and perky. They are in 95% percentile of speed when running around with other dogs in off-leash parks. They always amaze people on that. Chicopee and Agy have their own play area, tons of toys, t-shirts, sweaters, raincoats, cool hats, etc., even tv and remote. :-) Friends say they are the most spoilt minpins they know. Well.. they are, but, they are also disciplined; so they are well behave.

Again, thanks for keeping IMPS up. You guys do make our home much happier.

Cheers!
