Bam when he was just a few months old. Him and his sister had to be separated from their mother at right around a year old or so, give or take, not because Sage wanted to hurt them, but with these guys as it was the same back in the 90s when I had my first litter, I had a mom dog then very similar to Sage, as she has incredible maternal instincts. And Sage will playfully antagonize till she makes them fight back, almost like bullying them till they do, if theyd cower shed pick on them till they stood up for themselves, and shed do this over and over again till there was no more cowering. Pebbles was the first to be separated, she got tired of Sages crap real quick, then Bam just got too big and dangerous in that regard, the last time her and Bam were together she picked on him and he snapped with a vengeance, good thing I was standing right on top of them. So that was it for them. It's kind of the same thing Sage does with Pepper still, for those that dont understand their relationship that is. As she in fact sees Pepper as one of her own, she came when Sage was still feeding puppies. Forget about it with strange dogs though, Sage is a head hunter, like I said when Ronda & Holly were here she almost jumped from the second story window to get to them, also motivated me to add the mesh/cloth to my kennel doors, as sage stole any moment she could to get over to the kennels to tell them all about themselves. But Sage is also fine around low energy passive dogs too. As long as they don't pose a threat or get too excited (at least in her mind) she's fine, so we just avoid it all together, dogs can change their minds & vibes real quick. Sage has gone after our old girl Gemma before just from a simple barking situation. And her and Rudy will fight eachother over who gets to look out the window if theres a noise or delivery. So we have to have all sorts of precautions in place, and be extremely proactive when they are out in the house. Preacher is the stranger dog to every one else though, seems they all want a piece of him, except for Gemma. Even little Pep, I thought I was gonna get away with having Pep & Preacher being work out buds but Pep put the brakes on that.

Saw the ADBA changed some rules for judges to have even more leeway to compete in top dog events etc. My opinion is once you're a judge you should be done with showing and competing all together, or dont be a judge. As they obviously are entirely more expirenced than anyone else. And no judge should be friends and club members of the hosting show. It's exactly why more people don't participate. Not to bash, its just the truth, as its like this in all things like this, horse shows, and other non performance type events based off opinions and friendships. If you ain't an insider you're just another sucker to get money from, might toss you a bone from time to time though. Not cool having to push dogs twice as hard just to do so though. If it wasn't for my dogs needing the expirences and son I'd like to show my discipline and what he can legally do with these dogs if he one day wishes, as I cant wait for him to be big enough to be a junior handler. I'd probably care much less about participating all together. Shows have so much potential too, but corruption runs in all things unfortunately. 🫤

Good advice is always welcome, but I've noticed many people posting quotes or their own "words of wisdom" on social media without aligning their actions with their posts. If you're going to share something, make sure you live by it. Also, sharing quotes and thoughts won't make you a dogman, but hey, good news: hard work and dedication will.
