Directed Retrieve
Bindi working on directed retrieve today. She couldn't contain the anticipation yesterday but today she kept it in check until sent.
Go Out
The boys worked on maintaining the "look" on Utility obedience go outs. Go outs done at approximately 100 feet. This is Jagger in the video.
Front & Finish's Foremost Rating System ranks dogs and handlers competing in AKC all breed obedience competition. Teams that earned a qualifying score of 170 or more points in Open and Utility classes during a given year are included in the tabulation. Points are awarded based on the dog's score according to a point schedule.
The top ten ranking dogs by breed are published.
Bo (Helfinstine's Alabama Bleu Bojangles) and Jagger (Whispering's N Dreamweaver's Tru Bleu Jagger) were tied for the #7 Weimaraner 2023.
Max, very loved in his new home. He's one very lucky boy and he has playmates to enjoy.❤️
Working on Jagger's directed retrieve. He likes to pounce and slide. Today was a good day - he did neither.
I have two 10 week old boys looking for homes. They're playful and bold. This was their first time outside and they met a new dog that they thought was pretty fun to chase.
7 weeks old. Breakfast after spa day.
They're more awake and playful tonight. Getting pictures is like trying to get a picture of a particular bee in a swarm.
5 weeks old today and it was spa day: weights, nail trims and worming done. Blue boy has overtaken dark pink girl as the biggest at 7.92#. Green boy is still the lightest at 5.82# The rest are between 6-7 pounds, healthy, eating kibble and drinking water. Apparently dark pink girl skipped the video session. I'll get her later today.
3 weeks old today. Dark pink, light pink almost white and yellow are girls. Green, blue, purple and rust are boys.
Jagger startig proofing on articles. We did a dumbbell retrieve diagonally to the left. Then I placed the dumbbell in the pile of articles. He had to find the one article with my scent on it.
Alexis training Gus (Bindi x Jagger). She's such a good trainer!
Beretta, Jagger x Bindi pup. Her mom says they couldn't be happier and she's very smart!
Buddy, one of my pups, being shown in 4-H at the county fair! How neat is that ❤️
Jagger starting utility scent articles. This is day 1, send 11. He started with one article and built up to the full 11. At the start the "scented" article has a strip of cheese whiz on it placed so he can see it. He has a trained retrieve for hunting so I was afraid even with the cheese he would just grab but he didn't make one mistake.
Jagger NQ'd in open. The "down" in command discrimination is his nemesis. Other than that he had a nice run. The judge had so many nice things to say about him. Once we get over that hurdle he'll be a great competitor.
Jagger practicing command discrimination (stand, down, sit, stand) elevated on a rock.
Puppies almost 8 weeks old. (Hopefully my poor videoing doesn't make you sea sick)
