Rosais’ Run For The Roses
Now that we are finally old enough to be fully vaccinated we did our first public outing! Julep went on her first structured walk around the lake, had a mini training session (video) amidst distractions, and got exposed to many new things such as bikes, cars driving right next to her, and dogs even bigger than my Cane Corso (Nyx)! She did so well for her first time!
July Wrestling
All the ladies are in a wrestling mood this evening, apparently! Julep is enjoying having her mama back in the house and I can’t believe how big she is in comparison to Jasmine!
Video of our first ever barn hunt trial! Didn’t find the rat but she was actively sniffing and looking for it and didn’t eliminate in the ring like a lot of dogs were doing that day! I’ll consider that a win!
Rosais’ Rieson To Be
Julep isn’t the only one learning new things! Ries had her first barn hunt lesson so now we get to practice some of the test items at home! Now to do a Day of Show entry with her this week or not? 🤔🤔🤔
Rosais’ Run For The Roses
Don’t mind my jammies but Julep is already a little over half way to her VHMP title at just 9 weeks old! She has a strong start in two other test items and we will start working on her leash training and recall here soon. Considering we can’t even actually test let alone apply for the title for another 3 weeks I’d say she’s doing well so far!
Rosais’ Rieson To Be & RRosais Stoli Show
Ries and Stoli had their first ever dock diving lesson last night! While they may never be dock dogs at least they got to try something new! We’ll do a couple more lessons before deciding if this is something they enjoy or not but I’m just so proud of them for trying something new and being brave enough to at least get their toes wet.

Week 7
Puppies start going to their new homes next week! Temperament testing was officially completed this evening so I am starting to reach out to all of my contract-holders to determine picks. At this time, everyone is spoken for unless a family backs out unexpectedly.
Rosais’ Rieson To Be
Well it may have been a bit wet and muddy today at Fast CAT but Ries had fun none the less! She ran a 9.423 (21.71 mph) for her first run and her second run (video) was 8.503 (24.06 mph.) Despite the poor weather conditions and subsequent wet track she was only 0.033 seconds from beating her fastest time and even her first run was not her slowest considering this is only her second day of events ever (and each dog can only do 2 runs a day.)
Rosais’ Rieson To Be
Ries is starting some treadmill training to help her get and stay in-shape! Fit dogs are less prone to injury and with us starting to get more involved in dog sports it is even more important! Along with doing the cardio we also are doing a bunch of daily exercises to work on her core, balance, and limb awareness.
Not only does all this work help her out physically but also mentally. By making her do all these new things I am helping to enrich her life by keeping her mind busy while also working on our relationship!
Now to just get all of the rest of her exercise equipment so that we can do even more fun new things! PS if anyone is wanting to get any Blue-9 products (such as their KLIMB or Propel Platforms) let me know as I do know one of their Resellers.
