Lol, your white spoo wasn't as white after your hike was done! Great pictures!
Yah.... it's even more special when you realize that the "mud" on Izze in the Mt. Margaret photo is actually a combination of stagnant water and cow manure. :beauty:Lol, your white spoo wasn't as white after your hike was done! Great pictures!

I work the sit/stay from the very beginning for a number of reasons (safety, show etc) but the biggest reason is so that every girl gets her own turn with the frisbee.I love the ones up on the rocks. I think it's amazing that you have a 7 month old in a sit stay like that.![]()
So do you compete more in obedience than conformation? I was told no teaching the sit command before they learn the other commands for conformation.I work the sit/stay from the very beginning for a number of reasons (safety, show etc) but the biggest reason is so that every girl gets her own turn with the frisbee.
I line the girls up and they are expected to STAY. I call one girl out and she gets 3 throws (believe me... they can count), then it's back into the line and the next one is called out.
Because of this early training, the Sits and Downs are not something we ever have trouble with in competition.
Obedience is my thing. I only have my dogs shown in conformation to have their structure, gait and temperament evaluated. It also gives me access to better stud dogs since some owners will only breed to finished bitches.So do you compete more in obedience than conformation?

It is a privilege to live here! We have tremendous public schools, low crime, a highly educated population, bike paths all over town and 120+ miles city owned hiking trails.Ohh beautiful dogs! Colorado is a beautiful place, I love the open country. It seems like a nice place to raise children and poodles!
