A little late, but Presto turned 16 weeks old on Friday!
He weighed in at 33 lbs, so I suspect he's going to be on the smaller side of the standard. Here he is playing with his young Malanois friend at the pond over the weekend. He also played with some Portuguese Water Dog friends the day before. We hit an obedience match on Saturday and an agility match on Sunday. Busy weekend! He found something in the grass in the field and came when called, carrying the thing he found, which was an animal intestine, which he then sucked down his gullet in 0.2 seconds! No vomiting or diarrhea, so I'm going to assume he is fine... Dogs are gross!
Today Presto jumped a three foot fence! Well, sort of... I was training Linus in the yard and put Presto in my garden area with a giant raw bone. Presto is not too keen on sharing the spotlight, so he left his bone and jumped in a garden box, then hopped the fence, high centered himself, and gracefully slid down the other side. At that point and put him - and his bone - in a crate inside the house. :)
This week we're working on scent articles! Last week he mastered the chin rest and has 50 foot puppy go outs. He also can "fly" around a traffic cone from both directions.
We probably won't have any big adventures this weekend because I am trialing Linus both days. We'll go for legs one and two of our Open title.
