Indian Summer











We have been for a lovely long walk today. It was a really nice afternoon. Amy was on mice watch, but they hear her probably already when she jumps out of the van. She is light as an elephant.




The boys had great fun, their game gets more and more leveled. Indy is still sometimes to rough for Yukon.Unfortunately this is what he learned from Marlon. I think not long and they both learned how to play together on the same level and have real fun together.




As much as I enjoy the time with my dogs, I hope to find a job soon.

Search and Rescue Training

We were out to Search and Rescue Training today. Indy done spot on Find,Alert and Refind. Still try to get really good pictures for the Malinois Display at discover dogs. It gets a little bit into a mission impossible, because of Indy's speed. Slowly but steady we getting there. My friend Sandra joint today to have her Rottweiler assessed. Chance was so excited to have her mum to herself without the collie-gang. She was bouncing about and did not what to do first. She wanted to say hello to everybody with two or four legs. She is such a lovley character, but a typical Rotti a little bit on the clumsey side.

Agility


Agility Training today. It has been highlighted today, that I have to change my handling, because Indy does not need or want the space between him and me anymore. That means I have to run definitely faster..... Yukon has been on the Agility Equipment today and we tried the "Spooky" Flat Tunnel again. He is very toy orientated, so it is easy to keep him on the touch points. If he comes off no toy, and as clever as he is he got it straight away

After Search Training last Sunday in Kent

What happened since I opened my blog

I have been so busy, that I totally forgot to update my blog. Indy manage to get me in every final available in Agility this season, but we are still in Grade 2. Next season new try to win out. Anyway, it looks like that Agility will be his hobby. He is the born Seach Dog. We had our assessment under very difficult conditions in September. Indy found both Mispers(Missing Persons) but would not bark at me as his normaly alerts, so we failed. I found out two days later that the poor boy had a throwt infection and a rotten cold. Bless him and still searching in a muggy wood after waiting for several hours in the van. Next try is in December. We training 3 days a week at the moment.
Yukon is already nearly 9 month and we started Agility. I am not sure if he is just stubborn or a little bit "blond". We wait and see how he turns out in 4-15 year times( when maybe grow up). Richard my partner swears he never will grow up. Easy for him to say, with his Working Malinois. She was born all grown up already.
Amy is retired from Agility,gets more and more stubborn and unpredictable towards other dogs. I think she has Doggy-Alzheimers.
