ImpaZedge

ImpaZedge This page is dedicated to the two dogs who shaped our journey into the world of working dogs, and make up the origins of our kennel name.

Zedd
Zedd is a neutered rescue Collie x Kelpie, we took him on when he was four years old as his third home, having never owned dogs. We were told he was a Collie x Labrador, and that the lab side would calm down the collie edge - he is not! The kelpie amps up his drive, pain tolerance and volume instead. When we took him on, he was to be a pet, to get us out of the house every day. He was beyond

sanity, his previous family had encouraged him to pull them along, and only interacted with him by playing football. He would spin in circles with pent up energy, he knew only one command - sit. We got him straight into obedience training, and fought his stubbornness twice a day to stop him pulling on a lead until he learned to walk in heel. We burned through obedience training and moved on to agility. He adored it, he excelled in it, but it exposed an old injury and he had to stop. We taught him herding games. Then, we pivoted into gundog, with a dog that had zero retrieve instincts, who wanted to herd us to the item. It took a year, but he learned it, and loved it too, and so did we. We decided to go looking for a second dog who we could do more gundog with, and agility. Impa
Impa is a working cocker spaniel. She lives in the home with us, our young child, and Zedd. Her dad is Rowston Rage OFTAW, and her mum Rapidgold Lytle Pix, competing in agility. Her grandparents: GB.FtCh Rowston Spikey Aderyngi, Rowston Stor FTW, GB.FtCh Rollafields Redbud At Naxshivan and Kinnadie Lexi Of Rapidgold AW(G). Three successful competitors at gundog and one at agility. https://cockerspanieldatabase.info/en/Rapidgold-Snow-limits-at-Impazedge/pedigree/217165/i
Impa was our first puppy, our first pedigree dog and our first spaniel. She is incredibly fast and driven - a Ferrari of spaniels. She's not competed yet, due to her humans having a pregnancy and young baby, and we are looking forward to getting her out there late 2024. Training her has taught us huge amounts, we've made mis-steps along the way and overcome them together. She is our origin dog: headstrong, affectionate and relentless.

Our last little one has gone off to her new home today, the litter boss, Yellow girl. She did so well being alone yesterday and overnight, and had lots of play with Impa, and even some time loose with Zedd and Edgar. She is going to be amazing in her new home, learning gundog and agility! Gosh the empty space where the pen has been 🥹

Our smallest girl, little orange (still almost as big as Impa was when we got her) left this morning, and then there was one, only yellow girl left. Orange was Impa's favourite to play with, and she got big zoomies at her last play.

Blue boy, our last born has gone off to his home this morning after some final playtimes with mum. He had a good sniff of his owners last night in the crate and a lovely final meal with the troop.

I wanted to share today the best unexpected enrichment tool. Our baby scales. They beep if touched on one side by a nose and they tip, but only if stood on right at the end. Perfect for learning about unstable platforms. #agilitygundogs #unstablesurfaces #workingcockerspaniel #workingcockerspanielpuppy

One from the vaults today, 6 years ago when Zedd was learning about commands from a distance. He had just learned to weave here 😍

Puppy Recall on point 😍

A quick playtime for Impa and her puppies after nearly 4 days apart. She managed 5mins before they latched and had to be separated again 😍

Recall training, 6 week pups! 💚♂️👀🏡 #agilitydog #agilitygundogs #workingcockerpuppy
