A while ago I posted about the International Kennel Clubs and Rare Breeds and I decided that I would register Jet with the Canófila Federation of Puerto Rico, to ensure that his FCI status would be solid, even here in the USA. The USA is not an FCI member country, so in order to keep [...]

Well I am very happy with Jet’s Feetz box!  He’s doing so well. I’m teaching him this so that he’ll get a good ‘In’ for obedience. Where he swings his rear end into heel position on a verbal cue. And his body will stick to mine for a really nice heel while we are heeling.

I [...]

My sweet little boy on the bed. I thought this was such a cute picture. I really haven’t done much training with Jet lately, or the other dogs, since I was so icky sick. I am feeling better now but I still want to take it easy. I am pretty sure I [...]

So Jet had some fun today! I took Chase, Jet and Tatum to flyball practice. Chase loves it, of course. Tatum and Jet got to run around afterward and play. Jet had his coat on, which he isn’t too crazy about, so he rolls around in the grass to get it off. [...]

I love letting the dogs run after a day of agility. This is from Sunday, the day I left Tatum home. So I just let Chase and Jet run a little bit. Chase always gets the Frisbee when these two run together. If it’s just Jet, then Jet will bring me the Frisbee [...]

So I’m working Sits and Downs with Jet and Tatum. As well as signals with Chase… which is similar, for utility obedience, but it’s all hand signals and no verbals. I want them all to have good verbals as well as hand signals. Their sits and downs are great on their own, but when [...]

Jet came with to the agility trial last weekend and he had a great time. He is such a good boy. I hope he stays a puppy for a while… he is my baby boy and he is so friendly and loves everyone. He does think that he should bark at the buffalo, though. [...]

I’ve been reading a lot about international dog shows and registries and clubs the last few days and oh boy, I think my head is getting ready to explode with all the confusing information!
I do, however, think I have it all straight. I thought I’d post about it to help me remember when I forget [...]

Well I just found out that PIcasa will make collages! Oooo now the world is in trouble. LOL. So I’ve been playing with it for a bit with, of course, Jet. So here’s a cute collage of Jet. From before his eyes were open to this month.

Hopefully collages are not as painful [...]

Yup, we are going to the Word Dog Show in Herning, Denmark in June! I am so nervous. I don’t know why. I’ve been to Europe before. Though never with a dog. That might be why I’m nervous. That and it’s going to be more expensive than I had originally anticipated. I do wish [...]
