Calhoun locals. My dog trailer exhaust fan is not working. Is there anyone that can trace the problem and fix it for me?

From the AKC Standard. This is the blueprint of what a Labrador Retriever "should" look like.

Proportion-Short-coupled; length
from the point of the shoulder to the point of the rump is equal to or slightly longer than the
distance from the withers to the ground. Distance from the elbow to the ground should be equal
to one half of the height at the withers. The brisket should extend to the elbows, but not
perceptibly deeper. The body must be of sufficient length to permit a straight, free and efficient
stride; but the dog should never appear low and long or tall and leggy in outline. Substance and bone proportionate to the overall dog. Light, "weedy" individuals are definitely
incorrect; equally objectionable are cloddy lumbering specimens. Labrador Retrievers shall be
shown in working condition well-muscled and without excess fat.

Team Versatile Dog had fun with JH dogs at Red Hills! Charlotte Mangum ran Bay dog and they both handled in the water for their first blind ever! They both persevered with many casts and hung in there and got that bird! Bay stepped on the other three marks and had impeccable line manners.Sometimes the teamwork and cooperation and try from these animals is just awe inspiring. Jennifer Martin Flatcoat, Fletch, gets his 3rd pass in a row and Kevin Duley young dog, Sight To Sea’s Shooting for Blue, from my last breeding, gets his 3rd pass in a row with very nice work.
Thank you Judges, club members for your weekend and Tyler Patterson for your property

To my positive (+R) only training friends... what do you do when you dog does not do the behavior you ask for?

Last week I completed a three days in depth study at the elite NePoPo Silver School. The learning included learning about all four quadrants of training and the pluses and minus of each quadrant. So much to know!! Now on to Gold School. Thank you Michael Bellon and Bart Bellon and all the Gold trainers who assisted in helping us learn.

VERY excited to be attending Nepopo Training Silver school next week. Have been wanting to do this for 5 years since I found out about Bart Bellon and Michael Bellon and their program. 62 years old and STILL want and willing to learn more about training dogs!

Lil Miss DeeDee was a s spectator this weekend at the Vizsla Pointing Dog test in Missouri. Starting to mature nicely! Hopefully she’ll be able to play the next test I go to. Unfortunately Loosea was supposed to run in this test but came in season so could not🙁

With the rash of thefts not far from here I thought it best to get a pointy eared dog!!! Please meet Shelby!! Thank you The Homeward Bound Project of MS and foster mom Cindy!

This series was instrumental in bringing me closer to Jesus in a time of deep lows last year. I highly recommend anyone start at the beginning and watch all available seasons and to then DONATE so people can continue to watch the bible come to life for free!!

Create your own fundraising page and invite your friends, family, and colleagues to support The Chosen and its mission

Did you know that your dog’s food can help keep him cool? Cooling foods for dogs can help manage allergies, balance energy, and regulate body temperature.

As a responsible breeder going for breeding health clearances can be an anxiety ridden day. The twins, Boss and Bonnie had preliminary hip and elbow films done today. I am thrilled with how they look (and so is Dr Payne, Animal Clinic of Oxford) They take amazing films there with no anesthesia! Elbows look great too! Praise God!🙏

Ugh! Off to do the dogs… (who are in a building with heat)

Happy birthday to me!! Kubota M7060 with only 1200 hrs

01/03/2024

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes yesterday! There were way too many to reply to each one personally, but do know that I appreciate each and everyone of you! Let’s pray and hope that this year is the best ever and do our best to make it that way.
Dear Lord, please bless each and everyone of my friends and take care of their mind and their bodies, as well as mine, Lord, please forgive us when we don’t do our best, but continue to guide us to glory days. Thank you Jesus, amen.

Leesburg Va and neighbors. This puppy is in an emergency situation ( father says must go immediately or going to shelter) and needs a temporary foster until we can get it transported to Tenn. Can anyone help me out?
