Rumours
The rumours are true.
Kev has been misbehaving and has a penchant for older men 😅. (No puppies resulted from this flirtatious episode!).
Barn hunt
Kevyn and Howard tried a new sport this weekend. In the ring they have to do the straw tunnel, a “climb” (on top of the straw), and then somewhere in the ring there is a gerbil hidden that they have to find. There are three tubes - one is empty, one has used gerbil litter, and one has the actual gerbil. When your dog finds it you call “rat” (every other province uses rats). If the dog is right you get a qualifying score. If the dog is wrong you are eliminated. And you don’t know where the gerbil is either so you have to trust your dog.
Kevyn found it within seconds in 8/9 runs after only four one-hour group lessons. Howard found it one time out of three in a “baby run” where the tubes aren’t hidden. A super fun sport that really engages the dog’s natural hunting and sniffing abilities!
Hey everyone! The puppies say “good morning” and they want you to know I’ve opened a TONNE of availability for July and August!
They’re heavy enough to make music!
Babies fourth nail trim at 3.5 weeks old.
The babies love their incubator and oxygen concentrator. It's like their own private retreat when momma needs a pee break!
I opened some space on Feb 12 if anyone needs an appointment. I had it blocked for the last day of school but meh…school’s over-rated 🤣. (Just kidding - I start my new program Feb 27 so for March and until I understand the flow of this program I’ve only opened Sun Mon Tues each week. I will add more as I understand the workload.)
On the upside this program is only 18 months instead of six years (but then I still have a four year doctorate anyway).
Please enjoy this video of Kevyn doing weave poles in the street. In Canada we have to train however we can!!!
Kevyn got a boyfriend and he’s 15 and has a heart condition and I’m just wondering how I can find one like that 🤔🤔🤔
Can’t say this happens very often 🤣🤣
If you’ve never been to a dog show, this is what it looks like. We spend hours prepping our dogs for a couple minutes in the ring. People and dogs everywhere. Handlers are dressed to the nines. We travel great distances and pay a lot of money for entry fees, gas, hotels, food, and more for a chance at five minutes of “fame” and putting points on our dogs. We are all very passionate about improving breed standards in appearance (conformation), health, and temperament. This is just the start of why your well-bred purebred costs so much (purebred doesn’t always mean well-bred). We can talk about training, competitions, titles, health tests, veterinary emergencies, and so much more.
When you purchase a dog, often a well-bred purebred is not much more than a backyard breeder’s dog. Think about how you want to spend your hard-earned money and who you want to give it to. It matters. Mostly for you.
Kev is in the ring in about half an hour…
