Don,

Hope you had a safe trip home yesterday, good travel conditions anyway. Thanks for talking me into the WC. A real positive experience for lab and owner alike (despite the overly vocal foxes all over the place). I'm learning finally, after two quality stock labs, that you need to trust that they will do what they're engineered for, RETRIEVE. Not sure if it was the environment, but Bela has never been more eager to return a bird to hand ASAP than for those four retrieves yesterday! All this in the four toughest conditions she's faced to date. All good signs.

Thanks for giving me what I asked for, a high energy, hunt intelligent and at times stubborn hunting partner. Oh yeah, she's also a great pet, forgot that part :)

Merlin update

Hi Don,

Thanks. Movers come on Monday! It's been very busy with saying goodbyes and getting ready to go. Merlin had is next round of shots and check up today. He's doing well, up to 18 lbs and by all accounts going to be big MALE! :)

He's zonked right now, he was out all day socialising; he's Mr. Personality and for a puppy very well behaved. After just a few weeks I'm not sure what I ever did before him!!

He tried to walk on water earlier today and discovered that he should stop at the end of the floating dock if he wants to stay dry - it was hilarious! But he didn't mind it and went back in after.

Here's some more! And I don't need to tell you that everyone remarks that he is the cutest Lab they've ever seen!

Daisy Report

Hi Don

Daisy is doing a great job training us!!! Gives us lots of smiles and we love having her in our family. So glad we the kids are out of school to help - puppies are a lot of work!!

She seems like she will be great to train - although in the last 2 days has shown increased independence and sauciness. Starting to run when she doesn't want to come in - will have to consult my book!!

She has never had us up in the night, is basically house trained and is a good fetcher.

She thinks we get up too early in the morning and after her pee, likes to spend the early morning hours cuddling while we have our coffee. No complaints from us though.

She is quickly outgrowing her kennel - but still likes to go in it at nap time.

I will send pictures later in the week.

Cheers
Madeleine

Merlin update

Hi Don,

Merlin is doing well, packed on 2 lbs in a week and I swear he grew overnight last night as well. House training is a work in progress but he sleeps through the night and he has already got a good grasp of 'come' and 'sit' but of course he is a far cry from 'stay'!!!! He has the attention span of the second hand on a watch! No issues with the felines, Merlin wants so badly to play with them but they are not interested, someday they will though.

Here are a few pics.

Jem update

Hello Don,

Trust your day is going well so far. Thank you for your e-mail regarding Jem's registration. I will be looking for it in the mail. Jem is adjusting really well to our household. She is growing fast. She is loved by everyone of us.

Ned update

 

Hi Don.

Ned sits, stays and come is coming - you know what I mean. We are
using Wolters book for training by voice and whistle. He loves our pond and
trails thru our bush and fields.

Our old Griffon and Ned have finally come to terms. He loves to play with
the older Doindogs Labs 4 and 6 years old. House training is complete.
Sorry that my photos are something less than amateurish.

Dean Bar Fishing Club

 

Hi Don

 

Most people rarely get the opportunity to experience the splendour of a New Brunswick salmon pool. Here are some pictures taken this week at one the finest pools, Dean Bar Fishing Club, on the Miramichi.

Chuckers update

Thanks don!

He's amazing! I've never imagined how quickly he would learn, in the very same day he's taught something for 5 minutes, 12 hours later its burned in. Smartest puppy I've ever seen, but I'm sure everyone says that.

He's a hit with the neighbourhood as well. We have a very dog friendly area so he's got tons of potential social partners and lots of kids to get him adjusted to. Very social! Julie will be sending photos at some point for you to view. Thanks again for the wonderful pup!

Merlin all settled in

Hi Don,

Just thought I'd let you know that Merlin is all settled in. He was was very
good on the drive, no accidents and no car sickness. He's asleep at my feet
here now, he doesn't go too far from me which I am pleased about.

My oldest cat has already given him the boss swat so Merlin is afraid of
him. I have a feeling they'll be in the basement for a few days! They only
come up when he's sleeping.

Thanks so much for my little "male"!

Noah at the UKC Premier

Hi Don

 

We had the time of our lives at the UKC Premier in MI.  Noah went WD and BOW to get his first UKC win.  Then we decided to try him out at Nosework which he has never done bore and he detected the birch 'box' almost immediately! So he now has a PT1 to his credit in Nosework.  I am so proud of him, he is such a good boy - he always tries his best.  The lady running the nosework said there was no way he would be successful in the test as everyone else who had entered had been training for it - well she doesn't know my boy :-)  They were all amazed and many came to complimnet me on him :-)

 

Lots more successes with Sinead the aussie as well as the two basenjis so it was wonderful as each dog won something.

 

I have posted it on facebook and tagged you so it will show up on your page too.

 

Take care

 

Vanessa

Pearl and Bela (sit/stay)

Hey Don,

 

Here's another pic of Pearl and Bela doing some Sit / Stay sessions with some good outdoor distractions :)

Updated pics of Pearl

Hey Don,

 

I trust all is well. Pearl and I have been having a great Spring so far. Training is going well and she's just in the middle of her first heat (we're approx day 8 of red spotting).

 

Steve Hickey and I have been getting together a few times per week for training and the Cousins are getting along well. I've been out with Gary Faloon's group as well but I've had to skip the past few on account of Pearl nearing fertility :). Andrew Ahearn's yellow, Tucker (one of your pups and not fixed) has taken a liking to Pearl on all our hikes.

 

I thought I'd send along a few updated pictures for your site. I'll keep in touch.

 

Chris
