We don’t have any noise sensitive hounds here thankfully but if you do, be prepared!

It’s fireworks season and time for a reminder in dog safety! You can never be too cautious when it comes to keeping your pets safe. Fireworks can be extremely scary and many dogs go missing this time of year. While it can be very tempting to bring your furry friend along for the celebrations, they’re safest at home - in a crate or secure room.

Fun with stripping the puppy coat.

It needs to be done anyway, so l had fun with it because I can and because he won’t be shown in conformation until he is neutered at 18-24 months. Then we will show in altered, which is typically only offered in UKC & IABCA shows.

The 8 Pack - Who’s Who?

Yggy

Nicknames - Yiggs, Choplicker, Yiggosauraus, Best Boy, Velcro hound, Happy Jack

The biggest of our pack at 170lbs, Yggy is 5 years old and arrived from his breeder in Norway May of 2020. Despite being a Covid puppy, he is the friendliest and most laid back of all our dogs. He has not met a person he doesn’t like and enjoys therapy dog work when he can get it. Lately that has been with our friend Dory who has taken him to visit a friend who has been repeatedly hospitalized. Despite this calm demeanor, he is also likely to kill any chicken that gets into the dog pen. 🤦‍♀️

Yggy has a few titles but like many Wolfhounds, doesn’t care for the repetitive nature of obedience type work and politely refuses when he is done playing training games. He has the basics down and wonderful manners but would prefer to just snuggle and hang out to competing in Rally, obedience or coursing events. And that’s quite alright!

He currently has these titles:
VHMA - Virtual Home Manners Adult
TKN - Trick dog Novice
TKI - Trick dog Intermediate
FDC - Farm Dog Certified
CGC - Canine Good Citizen
CGCU - Canine Good Citizen Urban

He is currently not participating not any events or working on any titles. He has participated in LGRA and scent work but is only mildly interested in those events.

Honestly unsure about breeding another litter. So many reasons why —— financial, time , anxiety, emotional stress of the process and all that goes with placing puppies. It’s a violent roller coaster and I’m still not sure I want to get back on the ride.

Nonetheless, these two girls are scheduled for their breed appropriate heart tests July 5th. We will have them both CHIC certified so we won’t have to have that be a barrier to our decision down the road.

Practice Practice Practice! Tunnels and jumps! We worked hard to get her comfortable with the bigger and longer tunnels and she is doing great. June Bug 🐞 and I are getting exercise and practice in with Heather at Happy Dog Institute and we are all proud of how well she is doing so quickly.

Once again, A Mythic litter puppy exceeds expectations!!

Serendipity's Silver Pixie STR TKN VHMA VSWB earned 2 Qs and placements this weekend at a Barn Hunt trial.

This team exceeds our expectations for versatility, and we love hearing about all that they do.

Is that a June Bug 🐞 on your shoulder?

Not everything is about training and titles. Some days are just meant for a good snuggle and a movie. 🎥
