He is starting work on weaves, and contacts, he has done some basic groundwork, and is starting to build up now onto low jumps, He is 14 months now, so technically in a few months he is able to compete! I find it quite scarey given how much of a puppy he is still, he has so much to learn, yet has learnt a lot by enjoying being a dog and having fun as he has grown up, he can play fetch, meet any one and anything and be friendly, he has a great recall and will play endlessly,he is cheeky, and very much a goofball and best of all, he gives the BEST cuddles! He isnt perfect for breeding, which no doesnt bother me in the slightest, he is MY special boy! Even if he never does agility - still wont bother me, i have some of mine, who arent destined to be at the top of agility, but i still love them regardless!! I wnder sometimes why people are in such a rush to get their dogs out into the ring dead on 18 months - its not a deadline!!
Im pleased with my boy, i havent put any pressure on him to become the next agility superstar, i havent bigged him up and made him sound like the best thing to ever hit the agility scene, he'll be ready in his own, and in my time, maybe this year, maybe next, who knows, in the meantime, i know i have a happy well adjusted dog, who is happy if not slightly ott with his happiness in most situations :-)
His photos shows him this weekend, a beach walk - he LOVES waves, and racing them til they break! the agility ones are from the small uka we went along to on the weekend, he was playing with the practice jump quite happily even with other dogs about etc... ( obviously he didnt jump it any height other than small!)
