My great-nephew will be 6 this week. He has some very large health challenges ahead of him. Please keep him in your prayers!

Tallmadge OH show, Jan 6-7

We met Mary Lynn Wynieski, Alex's breeder in Tallmadge OH. She showed him both Saturday and Sunday. There were 8 class dogs entered each day! What a showing!

Alex was recognized by Judge Olvis on Saturday as 4th in Open Class.

He was recognized by Judge Tom Hale on Sunday as 3rd in Open Class.

He is getting better every day! We do need to do more practice on conformation showing.


We roomed with Tracy Karceski and Pizzaro - WD on Saturday - and Brooke Cole and Tryst - BOB on Saturday and BOS on Sunday. We had lots of great dogs and good luck!

A warm Thanksgiving!

 

It was a wonderfully warm Thanksgiving weekend this year! I worked much of it, but Alex and I spent as much time outside as that schedule allowed. Here he is, watching me from the side yard while I did some cleaning of the flower beds in the front yard. It was in the mid-60's all each day.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Dr. Ian Dunbar's "BEFORE YOU GET YOUR PUPPY"

J&KBEFOREpic.pdf (application/pdf Object)

Go to the www.JamesandKenneth.com website or Dr. Dunbar's Sirius Puppy Training website (http://www.siriuspup.com) to download FREE Ian Dunbar's book - BEFORE YOU GET YOUR PUPPY. You can buy this book, but Dr Dunbar feels the beginning weeks of a puppy's life are SO important, he has provided it for free on several websites. WOW! That is dedication to your passion! There are also many more articles you can download on his Sirius site.

This is a great starter book to make sure your pup is ready for the rest of his training!

I have read his books and attended two multi-day seminars since 2001. This guy knows his stuff and has great stories to tell. Enjoy!

Ian Dunbar Seminar, Orlando Nov 2006

 

I just got back from a four day Ian Dunbar pet dog training seminar in Orlando. I went with two freinds, one a trainer and the other a kennel owner. We had great fun and learned a lot!
Alex's will have so much fun with this stuff!! 

Trip to and from Memphis also meant SHEEP!

 
 
 
 

As long as we were driving through Elizabethtown, we stopped at Libbye's to practice Alex with the sheep. Libbye worked him on the way down (barking is getting progressively less - good news!) and on the way back, we planned to just wander calmly among the sheep.

Bonus for Alex: We found Kristina, Holly and Edda (BSD) there and he got to really put his flirting genes into practice! What a run Edda gave him! It was three -four times around the car area and he was in her DUST! She finally let him catch up to her. Such fun to watch!

Our trip to Memphis is about friends and unofficial family with a dog show thrown in. That is good, since there were no points to be had this year. Saturday, Alex insisted on flirting with the only bitch in the ring and completely forgot why we were there. Guess he had his own agenda! ;-)
We always enjoy visiting with our old neighbors and they are wonderful to Alex and I. Another friend, Venice, went with us this year. The long drive was much more fun and we had a great time! 

Tall Stacks Music Festival

After a good morning run in the park, Alex took a nap and we went down to the Ohio River to celebrate the Tall Stacks Festival. Beautiful day - only problem is the river was high and running so fast that none of the boats went out this morning. We had our luncheon cruise at the dock - but the lunch was GRAND!
The night before, we took a Mardi Gras dinner cruise on the Natchez. Great food and we ran into some good friends. What more can one ask?

Alex qualifies for Herding Instinct Certificate, Judge Sharol Hathaway

 

Alex was still quite riled by the sheep, but he passed his Herding Instint Certificate Saturday.

By the time he worked with the sheep twice Saturday and then Sunday, he was getting much more calm. 

Claire shows how herding should be done

more sheep and Claire is sooo cute! Notice she does not bark like a crazed idiot! Or a green dog, as Kristina puts it.

calmer Alex with sheep

He finally calmed down. Libbye says he will be fine next week for the herding instinct test.

Alex and sheep

Alex spends 3 minutes barking at the sheep before he figures out he can get further if he is calm.

Libbye shows Alex how to talk to Sheep

 
 
 
 

And boy did he TALK for the first 5-10 minutes!! 

Just-a-wyn Skid in Sideways RN CGC TT

 

Alex and I went to Lebabon Indiana this weekend. He took Best of Breed under Judge Paul Thomann and finished his Rally Novice title under Judge Randy Wojcik. What a weekend!!!

To be real honest, there were only two Tervs entered on Sunday, but that did not cut down on our excitement to win and enter the group ring - WOW! 

Just-a-wyn Skid in Sideways, CGC now "TT!"

 

Alex succesfully passed his American Temperament Testing Society test today. Mid-range scores through-out. (Aunt) Kristina helped us interpret this as appropriate to the breed.
This was his stance after the weird/aggressive stranger departed. Watchfu and attentive, but cool under pressure.

Congratulations! Alex!!
