Sweet boy

Welcome to Alfie's Adventures. I have lived with, and loved Afghan hounds for more than 40 years. I co-owned a CC with Carly and we had many adventures.
Alfie came to live with us on Sunday, June 5. He is 7 months old and has made himself at home
01/02/2024
Alfie had a really good 2023 ... only in conformation once, he finished as #41 Chinese Crested in Canada (and earned points towards his Grand Championship) and also
#2 Chinese Crested in Rally Obedience
He earned his Rally Novice title, and his first qualifying score in Rally Advanced. Completed his Trick Dog Novice Master title.
He also completed his Sprinter title. He played agility at fun matches and at lessons.
He is a very capable dog ... love him to the moon and back!

Surprise mail!
I miscalculated Alfie’s points and he has earned his Sprinter title!
He loves Sprinter and has run 33 km/hr.
Can’t wait for more Sorinter and Chase Ability in 2024!

Alfie (Ch Wind Ain’t Misbehaven, Novice Rally, Novice Sprinter) wants to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2024!
We are looking forward to more Alfie adventures in 2024!

Alfie listening to my cues on his way to earn his first qualifying score in Advanced Rally Obedience with a score of 97 out of 100 possible points (tied for 1st place in his class)
He can sometimes get overwhelmed in the show/trial atmosphere but we have been practicing and on this day, he did great.
So proud of this boy and we have so much fun together (my little shadow).
This score puts him at #2 Chinese Crested in Rally Obedience in Canada.

It’s official!
Now to finish Rally Advanced!

Alfie stopped for a little visit with this giant Santa while in the city!
12/09/2023
Well Alfie had quite the adventure today at the MG7 Rally Obedience trial @ Ace It … we entered rally intermediate in the morning trial, mostly to get experience and for him to gain confidence in the trial setting. Unfortunately I forgot the ckc rule that you cannot compete with any kind of color on your coat (I had put beautiful streaks of purple and blue on his side coat).
He did quite well and would have earned a qualifying score but the judge reminded me that she had to nq him because of the colors!
So into the bathroom to try to wash out the chalk colors!
I decided to move him up to rally Advanced … not knowing if I had removed enough of the color (much support from my fellow competitors)
Rally Advanced in off leash … judge said as we entered that he looked ok enough color removed … and he earned a 97 out of 100 possible points and tied for top score!
So pleased … I knew he could do it …

I moved Alfie’s dog bed yesterday while we had workers here … couldn’t find him this morning … then noticed him curled up in his bed … just a new location … I might leave it there … he seems to like it there!
Sweet boy! 💕
11/26/2023
I bought this little dog bed for Alfie about a week ago. He loves sleeping against something so I thought this would be perfect (never enough dog beds! lol)
I put it in the kitchen and today is the first time he’s used it!
He is just so sweet sleeping all curled up!
11/25/2023
So much fun running agility courses with Alfie … he maybe small … but he can really run!
11/17/2023
Alfie and I stopped into Canadian Tire for some training and socialization! The decorations were so pretty we had to stop for a pic!
11/15/2023
Alfie loves his girls! May be a huge size difference but he doesn’t know that! He has a BiG personality lol
11/11/2023
From scruff to fluff today at Baths N’ Biscuits grooming with Krista. He looks amazing and feels even better than he smells!
11/03/2023
Alfie enjoyed an afternoon of watching me rack up lots of leaves and the afghans running through them! Then an evening of rally, learning some tricks and a little conformation. He is sound asleep now … an exciting day.

Another fun CKC Sprinter trial for little Alfie at AquaTerra in Upper Stewiake, NS with East Coast Sighthound Association. He averaged 33 km/hr running 100 meters 4 times.
He may be small, but that boy loves to ‘chase the bunny’
(*note this video was from a previous sprinter)
Special thank you to Glenda Harding MacDonald for your help all weekend.

It's true you can't judge
A book by its cover
But you can judge a country boy by his truck

The best part of sleepovers at Carly's house is that she always gets up super early and we get to go for walks before anyone else wakes up! 🕑

I got this fence to keep Aura away from Alfie. Had it for about a month and tonight he learned how to use the doggie door! Now he can go in and out as he wants and Aura can’t!!!
I didn’t realize Chinese cresteds were bird dogs! But Alfie just spent part of the afternoon trying to catch these little birds and having a great time! He has more stamina than the affies!
Alfie loves loves to chase his ball, I use it as a reward for playing games, he created his own game or bringing back his ball through the weave poles! Such a smart boy and just so darn cute!

Alfie just loves to run for the pure joy of running! He had been running for awhile before i got out my phone to video his joy … i am quite sure he is smiling and laughing! The afghans were laying down or sniffing … Alfie was just running and running … love this boy!
Alfie got to try a mini version of chase ability today … that little guy has a ton of enthusiasm for chasing the bunny … he just vibrates waiting for his turn … and stays on the lure … his first time with twists and turns … didn’t slow him down at all!
So very pleased with Alfie’s AAC jumpers run! He had never seen the wall jump, so hesitated, but went through the whole course without any faults.
Alfie loves to run and he is really fast … not as fast as the afghans … but he has more stamina and can keep on running when they give up!
Alfie LOVES Sprinter Fun … the high temps and humidity didn’t slow him down at all … and he loved the watermelon and frozen yogurt to help cool him down when we got home. Thank you Carly Thornton for the video and all the help with both dogs. Donna McLeod Peggy May
Alfie loves to play … Carly Thornton Donna McLeod Peggy May
This is how I play with Alfie on a rainy day! we had a good solid lesson today. Agility is so much fun
What do we do on a cold rainy day?? Play ‘find Carly’
So much snow from last week’s winter storms, but Alfie loves to run on top of the snow! Well he just loves to run on the nearby camp road!
5:00 am Alfie has much more energy to play than 5:00 am Acie! 🥱
Alfie loves to have a good run in the snow! And comes when called!
Alfie having fun in the first snow of 2023!
Alfie loves sugar snap peas … even as microgreens and knows when I’m harvesting them!
