It's a girl, and her name is Bea (say bee). I've taken her on some really short jogs and so far she's done really well. She already heels and figured out pretty quickly that she will have to slow down for me. When off leash, she stays on the trail and doesn't get too far ahead. I think she will be a good running dog when she's grown up. For now it's lots of training and bonding and play time.
