Cari (Caritas)

[Guest Gregg Barrow]

Long story short.

My wife and I picked up our ¾ cross at the airport last week. I will tell you that I went with my heart and a strong gut feeling on this one. I broke all my personal rules, rules I usually bore everyone with when they ask me how to go about selecting a puppy for performance work.

I presented the breeder (who turned me down originally) with my list of requirements, made a few phone calls and rolled the dice.

Last Thursday we arrived at the airport, went through a ton of paper work and opened the crate to a bold little girl who had been locked up for the better part of thirteen hours. She walked out like she owned the world, noticed, but didn’t react to all the tractor trailers rumbling by, grabbed the leash in defiance and played some tug of war, snagged and growled at our pant legs and has continued to be a wonderfully obnoxious and active little girl since her arrival.

Biddable, bold and inquisitive.

 

So far, she is retrieving to hand (her booda bone), takes all game (chicken, beef and the odd bit of buffalo) and is scaling obstacles with ease (Charlie and Sis, my Labs and Ben, our ninety eight pound Schutzhund III IPOIII Giant Schnauzer).

 

Thank you C/G, she’s just as you described her. All the raw materials appear to be there, and if she can survive having me as her owner, she should fulfill her potential.

 

Best

Gregg

Hi Greg,..

Hope all goes well ith the bitch mate...remember, theres no rush...we will get out for some runs with her next season, when she is big and strong...

Dont hesitate to drop a line mate..

My male has buggered his shoulder up at the minute, but he is healing MUCH better than i though he would, and should be good to go soon...my bitch has a sore shoulder from a nasty Raccoon bite, and came in season a few days ago, due to a hormone shot the vet gave her to get her over mastitus!...they seem to be in the wars at the moment, and the crops 'aint even down yet!..lol.

All the best..

Kye,..

[Guest Gregg Barrow]

Just wanted to thank everyone for the nice compliments.

 

She's coming along nicely, no surprises and we are looking forward to having some fun training this winter. Right now......with the heat.....she said that she thinks that she's died and gone to Hel......Texas!!

 

Feeling a John Wayne moment coming on.

 

Really appreciate it.
