Astrid was the main focus this year once her siblings left the nest in early 2025. Her socalisation to cafes, Bunnings and parks continued, ensuring she became a confident and self-assured puppy.
Astrid was a top student with The Holistic Hound Dog Training puppy class, boldly moving through and over obstacles, calmly watching chickens and ducks, and learning new games.
Astrid then hit the conformation show ring, earning herself Baby Puppy in Group and later π
Minor Puppy in Showπ
. More importantly, she made lots of new friends (both furry and 2-legged), expanding her socialisation while learning how to keep focused under show conditions. Astrid was invited to take part in Dogs West Celebration of the Best, in the company of high calibre competition.
She took part in Dogs United Training Academy League Level One, and whilst she didn't pass her final exam, Astrid learned a lot of life skills.
During the school holidays, Astrid has also been training on sheep πto work toward Herding Trials.
Astrid also had a lure coursing puppy run, where she enjoyed walking with me in the paddock. Astrid has now earned 65 points toward her π¨SprintDogπ¨ title.
Astrid passed the Skills Level 1 course run by the Southern River Agility & Obedience Dog Club, and shows great aptitude for Bale Hunt.
Most importantly, Astrid has been enjoying life, with having fun as one of her main priorities. Astrid is an absolute joy to work with and I'm looking forward to exploring activities further in 2026 with her.
