Puppy Updates (3/5/12)

• Kyra was dropped for her fear issues .  She has been adopted by a wonderful family!

• Trinka was also CC'ed after being in Phase 8 for the past couple of weeks. :( She developed a love for squirrels, birds, and other dogs.  She has been adopted by her raising family and will be big sister to Amara! :)  

•  Our leader (who had Kyra) was supposed to get a puppy on the March truck (that was yesterday), is actually waiting until the April truck as there is a possibility for a golden puppy!

• We welcomed Gia (a yellow lab) to our club back on the 15th of February! She is 5 months old and was born 9/28/11 to Jenkins and Favor.  I will try and get some pictures of her soon.

 Here are some random pictures from the middle of February:

Puppy Updates (2/9/12)

• Trinka is in Phase 8 (the final phase) this week! Needless to say, we can't wait to get the call that she is in class and has been matched with the perfect partner! :)

• Kyra is being transferred to another club to finish out her training. The hope is that a new raiser and environment will help her outgrow her fear problems

• Since Kyra is being transferred, our leader will be getting a new puppy in March! :)  (Yes, this will make the third new puppy in our club in the past few months). 

 

Puppy Updates (12/15/11)

• Trinka is in Phase 1 this week!

•   Kirsten has been career changed for behavior problems and is back down in Oregon waiting for her forever home.

• Cadence is finally going to be going to the Seattle club.  She went into season and was down at the Oregon campus and just came back this past weekend.  

•  I haven't puppy-sat in awhile and FINALLY had the chance to take Valeria to work with me for the day.  She is a sweet little thing  that is really easy going but loves the dirt from mole hills (she is a little bit of a garbage mouth). 

Below are some pictures of Valeria and from our Christmas party....Enjoy! :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and New Year! :) My sister is getting married this weekend so we have family coming into town and then it's Christmas and New Years.  It seems like this year has flown by and I'm looking forward to what next year has in store. 

Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze

The first of October our club (along with two other clubs) participated in our annual pumpkin patch and corn maze outing. My husband and I happened to win for the second year in a row!  I mainly attribute that to Kelli (the leader of one of the other clubs) amazing sense of corn maze map reading. We had Simba for the day which is a brother of the famous chocolate lab Snickers! Simba was transferred to our club and he's a BIG dog. As in I don't remember the last time we had a dog that big in our club. He's just really tall and STRONG. I was able to get pictures of all the dogs in our club though truth be told, some cooperated a little bit better than the others. :) Here they are in no particular order:

We also got a new transfer dog to our club, but I won't have any information till our club meeting tomorrow.  Also, Trinka is on breeder watch and will probably be heading back next month.  I will leave you with this picture of Simba.  He was totally worn out so  he was laying on his bed and I was taking a little nap on the couch.  I woke up to this and was trying really hard not to laugh...HI SIMBA! :)

Updates, Updates, Updates! :)

Holy Cow I have so much updating to do that it's going to have to be in bullets!

• Congrats to Valentino who graduated last weekend! He will be living in Medford, Oregon with his new partner. He had a pretty cool formal training as he was able to go Disney World with his trainer for a conference! Here he is in harness:
  

• Joanne was career changed for cataracts. She came back up on the last truck and will be living with a lady name Joanne (Yes, you read that right) :) Here is what she looked like the day she came back on the truck from Oregon:
  

• We welcomed Kyra to our club! She is a yellow golden/lab cross. She came up on the truck with three of her sisters. The funny part in all this is she actually has the same mom as Joanne...Small world huh? :) I saw her a week ago and she is such a sweet little thing. Here she is:

• We had an overnight guest named Kristi a few weeks ago. She is a 16 month old yellow lab transfer to the other club we work with who is really small for her age and her commands are stellar. I found out today that she was career changed for dog distractions. :( By the way, who loves puppy-sitters!?!?! Kristi does!

• Pembrook (the "golden boy") as I called him was career changed. He recently started aggressively barking at other dogs and even barked at the CFR's dogs in her house. No bueno Pembrook. :( He will be placed by GDB.

• We are apparently getting a 13 month out Male Black Lab named Simpson to our club in the next couple of weeks. He likes to bark when he gets happy. :) He will be living with the family who raised Marlin for the next couple of months before he goes to formal training or is career changed.
  

• FUN DAYS! This weekend...Come see me! I'll be at our booth selling toyswith Training Paws. Also, this is your last chance to let me know if you want litter mate pictures! Just send me your puppies name and birthday and I'll try my best. Speaking of, our fellow club is getting a new puppy! Yippy for new puppies! :) I will leave you with a cute picture of a yellow and black lab that came up on the last puppy truck:
