Thank you! Bert is 5 already - I have no idea how that happened, time flies!
And I'm biased, but I think he's quite handsome too, especially for FT lines :)

This forum has been so quiet recently... what is everyone up to and working on with their dogs?
Bert had a lame summer with a toe injury/infection and eventual amputation. We only got to play in...
Again looking to learn from those that have been in the breed longer than me.
Are funky ears genetic? You know, those that don’t lay quite right, or may not be perfectly symmetrical? Do...
Yay! Congrats, how fun to do all this X2!!!!
Even COI is a bit flawed, as it calculates that number for the litter... not the individual. We know that the puppies in a litter are not identical twins.
But the tools are getting better. UC Davis...
Shelley,
re-reading your post, and realizing it may have not been directed as me. Sorry for the confusion.
Either, I’m pretty nerdy DO appreciate these discussions a lot
Thanks for this. I totally get where you are coming from. Indeed, puppies are not toasters and even if my dog was born with three legs and two heads, I would not blame my breeder as EVERYTHING was...
This is a great perspective. Sometimes I think we expect our breeders (and our dogs) to be perfect. And I hope we get to a day where our dogs ARE perfectly healthy....but compare it to people! How...
Thanks for the response. I'm in the thick of figuring a couple things out with my younger guy. In the next few days, I'm hoping we have a few more concrete answers and then I'll be asking more...
Thanks for the response. And gosh - you're right in that we can learn a bunch from the golden folks. We are quite lucky in comparison when it comes to health issues in our dogs.
Curious how the...
bump... as I'm still interested in this conversation :)
I’m in love with him. I’m biased towards the black dogs, but he is such a handsome, perfect yella guy
Question for those more experienced with our breed than me. I think this is very much a “grey area” but I’d still value your opinions.
I’m trying to educate myself of autoimmune diseases. I wish...
IMO, no I wouldn’t do that. I want the puppies leash I’m my hand so I can address any pulling, sniffing etc without nagging the trained dog.
Just do one leash in each hand, a dog on each side of...
Wow. Beautiful shot!
Awesome! I bet she had a blast in the versatility class, it sure looks like fun:)
I do think he is adorable and he’s going to be so fun for you.
I do agree with Shelly - short upper arm making him quite straight in the front - confirmed by that shoulder roll. It’s a tough...
I feel your pain! I’m in Minnesota and the trial season just started. It has been COLD here and we just got in the water this week. I’m missing out on two “at home” trials as I figured it did us no...
My little guy did it! Bert earned his UDX today!
We started showing in the Open B / Utility B classes the end of January. Despite my many mistakes, Bert made pretty quick work of his UDX and also...
Awesome! Congratulations!!
Congratulations!!!! Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. When is your next test?
Congrats! Your girls are too cute!
We won our first big ribbon, LOL!!
Couldn’t be more proud of my little dude. This weekend was our second weekend showing in both Utility B and Open B. Today, Bert WON Utility with a 198.5 and...
Fun stuff! We are stuck doing obedience right now, as it’s below 0 degrees with a foot of snow and ice in the ground! You’re weather looks MUCH better!
