Guage retreiving

Saturday we went and threw some bumpers for Guage. One of my good friends picked up a littermate of Guages so we went to the park and threw bumpers for a little while. These are going to be some excellent dogs. Yesterday we went over to the park and he was retreiving the bumper from as far as I could throw it, as long as I kept it low enough for him to see it!! I am excited about the progress he is making.

Puppy Today

Today I threw a little teal dummy. Before work I threw the dummy several times and he did awesome bringing it back. Then after work I was working in the yard and had him out with my German Shorthair Pointer. It was fun to see them interact because the puppy would try and get my shorthair to play with him, but my shorthair ignored him like you would your annoying little brother. He is also starting to get the hang of sitting...as well as a puppy can. The other good news is one of my good friends is going to be getting one of his litter mates.

I got a puppy on Friday evening. I am pretty excited and have a lot of work ahead of me. He has made some pretty good retrieves. It doesn't take much to wear him out. I will let him run around while I am working in the yard and he will run around for 20 minutes sleep for 20 minutes.

Ducklings

The canal next to our place has 3 hen mallards and 28 ducklings. I hope they survive the neighborhood cats!
