K9 Nose Work for Levi!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

So I’ve been thinking lately that Levi really needs a job. Poor guy. He just turned 11 years old on November 5th, and he’s bored, and he’s jealous of Jet. Well, I found out about a 6 week K9 Nose Work Class at Calling All Dogs, a local training center, so I signed him up! I think it’ll be really good for him. Even if he is just a goof and doesn’t learn that much… it’ll stimulate his mind and… Continue reading »

More Dog Beach Pics

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Yeah, more beach pictures. Can you even get enough of beach pictures in November in Utah? LOL… not I! I have all these pictures of Jet on the beach as my screen saver on my Mac. So it just cycles through them all day long when I’m at work so I can watch, and they cheer me up. They are not a good sleeping aid, though. But maybe if I stared long enough I could get mesmerized… Most of the… Continue reading »

Danish-Swedish Farmdog Specialty 2010

Me and Jet

So Saturday Jet and I went to the Danish-Swedish Farmdog National Specialty in Claremont, California. Since the DSF is not an AKC recognized breed, the specialty is held in conjunction with an American Rare Breed Association (ARBA) show. The DSFCA flew in a Danish Judge to judge the Farmdogs for their show. I went last year… and Jet won Best In Show puppy last year. I was proud of him. He was too young to get any points though. As… Continue reading »

Huntington Dog Beach

Jet at Dog Beach

I don’t think I even posted about it… but… we went to California last weekend! It was a blast. I took Jet, and we went on an airplane. We were going for the Danish-Swedish Farmdog National Specialty, and to visit my cousin, though we didn’t get to visit much. Friday after we landed I took Jet to Huntington Dog Beach. It was amazingly fun. I was worried that Jet wouldn’t be able to hear me over the waves… he’s been… Continue reading »

Jet’s New Dumbbell!

Jet's New Dumbbell

I got Jet’s new dumbbell this weekend! I really like it! It’s so tiny. Which is funny, because my other dogs are all so big, their dumbbells are big too. But Jet is a little boy and so he gets a little dumbbell. He really likes it, too. He wants to carry it around the house and chew on it. Of course I don’t want him to chew on it because I’d like it to have as few chew marks… Continue reading »

Jet’s Singles Race

Jet Singles

Well I finally went to the U-FLI website to check out Jet’s scores, and they are there! I just love seeing the numbers on the web sites. Jet’s Singles Races are up. His fastest time was 5.193. That’s not really very fast but I think he’ll speed up once he gets the hang of it. I’m so pleased with my goofy boy. He’s so smart, and he’s doing so well. I’m probably going to enter him in Wildcard Obedience this… Continue reading »
