Groovy's been doing good in agility class. She kinda sucks at collection work. She CAN do it - just doesn't come natural to her like it does Tali. Then again she is SO long in the body she isn't really built for it. Her disc drive is increasing! We still have to get the message across that the best thing about disc is catching it vs. just running with it while it flies but that'll come.
This month mom and dad got a new dog - a rat terrier/cattle dog mix. His name is Maximo. Unfortunately he has proved to be too much dog for them so he's looking for a disc dog home. He's a great dog though - wonderful disc drive and athleticism. I wish Jack and I could keep him but I don't think he and Ruckus would get along. And really he needs a home that has more time for him than we do with working full time and having 5 dogs already. It'll suck to get beat by whoever takes him though - he has every ability to be a top level disc dog. We will miss the little dude for sure.
This weekend coming up we have a big disc dog event. The CFDDC Challenge and Quad and on Friday we'll be attending a disc dog seminar with Ron Watson. Should be lots of fun. Will post with our results after the weekend!
Here are some favorite pics from the past month...
March isn't that far away... looking forward to the update next month ;)
ReplyDeleteHey I said I'd start a blog - never made any promises to maintain it! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's aliiiivve! lol.
ReplyDeleteEnzo sucked at collection too. He's a lot better lately but it really took a long time and a lot of work. It still takes a combination of cues if he has a lot of speed. One cue usually doesn't do it. Keep at it!
Too bad about Maximo not working out. He seems like a fun dog.
