Here is there rally run!
Wednesday will be doing her first scent work Trial end of this month! I only entered her one day (novice containers) might as well have fun before her show ring debut in April!
Jack 🖤 jack is gwen and Guillermos brother (blue collar boy) he's doing great in his service dog training with his owner 🖤
We did some more nose work practice tonight with the birthday girl!
I decided to hide our birch today in my grooming area. Wednesday has never looked for it in here. Shes obviously been in here many times as this is where they get groomed lol but she's actually taking to this! This is a dog that picks up on things fast!. She sure showed me at the end when she slapped it out 🤣 lots more training to do but im very happy she's picking this up!
How smart are these guys? This smart. I knew from the moment I met their dad, ace, these guys were going to be super smart.....for the past several days, gwen has been getting out of her kennel. The first couple of times I thought I must of not latched it as I was rushing out the door. Came home and found gwen running around in the dog room. But after several more days of the same thing, I knew she was opening up the latch some how. So I stuck my phone in there and sure enough.......she can open the latch to her kennel! I put a collar around her gate so it doesn't open but still!!! Her poor brother is probably like "how did you do that!?" As he's not as clever as her lol. I swear its always the trouble making one's! Watch carefully.....
I often get asked if my puppies/dogs are raised around cats (its actually a very common question i get asked alot) and they absolutely are! Pumpkin our orange cat, is very hands on with all the dogs plus the puppies! She absolutely looooves to play with everyone. Here she had ran into my grooming room, hopped up in the table with esme and purred/played away ❤
Baby steps in training Wednesday for nose work! Started off with something easy and basic (tin can with birch was in one of the cups, I switched the cup around a few times, out of her sight)
Flare!!! (Light blue collar girl) practicing rally! Her and Maisy will be doing rally at PCA (poodle club of America specialty)! So stop by and say hi if you see them there! (Video was sped up)
Flare is gwen and Guillermos sister!

I often get asked if my pups are raised around cats. I know most of you know about pumpkin our house cat, but for those who don't, she's our lovely orange tabby cat who loves to help raise all the litters! She's very hands on with our dogs and puppies lol heres Guillermo and pumpkin!
Spending the last day of the year doing maintenance grooms on gwen and Guillermo! First up Guillermo 🖤
Here's flare at a nose work competition!
So we have been training for barn hunt (Wednesday the collie) and our pet rats (Honey and Matilda) have been helping. We do have barn hunt tubes at home however no hay to hide then in etc. So I took Wednesday to barn hunt class last night. This was her first time in class, seeing/smelling hay bales and actually having to find the tubes hiding in the hay bales. She did great!! Took her a bit of time, but she found the tube with the rat in it (at the end you can see her trying to pull it out and then pawing at it) her second round went faster abd she found that rat right away! Our Instructor gave us alot of feedback! Wednesday is:

She will be entering the conformation show ring next year as well!
Some training today with Wednesday!
She went right to the tube where Matilda (the rat) was in 🖤🖤 love that she was eager to show me to! Baby steps! Lol. Gabby ripped thru this and found her each time lol next I will be adding rat litter in the others. Let's see if Wednesday can keep it up! Also the part where she goes up to the camera 🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ that's an esme move right there 🤣
*she was inside the house in her pen while I set these up, so she had no idea which tube had Matilda in it*
*i reffer to the ratties as "mouse" because that really amps gabby up so "mouse" has always stuck*

Its officially wrapping season! Gwen and Guillermo get to have their show hair wrapped up now! Here is gwen being a good girl! And staying still for more then a second! Lol. No they are not drugged or beat to lay down like this.
How's everyone's training on their barbie puppies, coming along??? Because Jack over here is about to woop all our butts! Lol. Jack is gwen and Guillermos brother (blue collar boy) he's Mr Tennessee boy!
Had a very fun weekend helping friends show poodles and get poodles ready. I got to show baby spice, the mini poodle! Feels good to get back in the ring after sitting out for a bit
Lily (purple collar girl) is having a blast at a huge grooming expo (All American show) her mom took her and she was used a demo dog for a creative grooming course! She got some color on her ears, nails painted and a pretty bow! <3
So proud of these guys!!! Day 2 of sleeping in their crates for the night. 9pm-4:30am. Not a single peep. No messes. At 4:30am, I let everyone out (I help the pups on the top get down, I don't let them jump out) and they all ran to the back door to be let out to potty <3 this was me checking in on them maybe an hour after I put them up (the sounds in the back ground are from my macaw who was interested to know what I was doing lol) a couple of pups settling in <3
