I have a new project he is a Labrador with a recessive color gene known as Silver or Charcoal. His name is Bo and he is one year old. I have known him since he was 6 weeks old and as a puppy like most puppies he was terrible cute. Now he is growing up and although his head may not be the best he has a pretty nice body but he is on the heavy side of a Labrador...weighing in at 85lbs yeah I have my work cut out for me. For right now Lauren wanted my help on his behavior so were restarting his training all over again and who knows maybe if I think he is capable ,which I believe almost all dogs are with a good enough trainer/handler, I will put a CGC for grins and giggles and a CD title just because I think it would be neat...not that's it very difficult to obtain based on the competition out there. Ellie and I are still aiming to get our CDX title I just have to find the time to do both because getting over to Applewoods getting her and going somewhere that is sage but with a good amount of distractions is difficult within it self without having people breathe down my neck about taking her in the first place off of the property. Worrying whether or not she will be lost or killed as a result of me alone, I don't know about you but I'm a little offended by that. Oh well I don't care it isn't going to move me away from my goal of trying to be the best handler in the world and that's hopefully including other things besides Obedience.
ta ta for now

P.S. here is bo when he was a puppy and now as a teen
