^^^^^Creed!?!

Yep! It is Jazi's Creed!
If anyone is interested in seeing their dogs done like that, just shoot me a pm!
I'm willing to try any dog, but just a heads up that I've never done a long haired dog before.

*Username change! Wanted to let all of you know, I was surfer ;;.
Mowi is a nickname, long story short my brothers couldn't pronounce
my name when I was little so my dad started calling me what they
called me. Hope this wasn't much spam.*

I forgot to tell you guys, but... little Daze is almost ready to complete
her CGZ test! She gets "dog anxiety" [Something that was never a problem
with gretta] when she's without me for a while[Which the dog has to be able to be
handled my another person for the CGC test] so I've been leaving her home
alone for a while. First, an hour and a half, then two hours, three hours, go to a movie
(Four hours), and by then she was perfectly fine being without me. Which is good,
because Dazey is not a child, and doesn't need to go everywhere with me,
I mean seriously, I don't go bringing Gretta around everywhere, why would
I let Daze? btw, Gretta is already a CGC.

Super excited because.... I have always wanted to show a dog. But since
I own Goldendoodles (Which I do not regret), they are not purebred (And I do
not consider them purebred) so I cannot show them/compete with them (at least in
the shows/competitions in our area, I'm not driving 4 hours so my dog can be in a competitions.
However, a relative of mine who lives VERY near me owns a Portuguese Water Dog named
Black Jack [Blacky], and she doesn't have all that much time to train/exercise him (He is
very energetic, more than usual), and when I was talking to her about wanting to compete with
my dogs, she suggested I trained/competed with Black Jack! I'm thrilled, so excited to
start working in Rally-O with him!

Hey guys!
Just a small update on Kaiser.

Well, for starters, he'll be 5 months old on the 12th! I'm not at all ready for him to grow up. He isn't allowed. No growing up for Kaiser.

On more of a serious note however, Kaiser and I are working towards novice trick dog. We probably have enough tricks under our belt to move onto intermediate, but we're apart of a spark team so we're taking our time and having fun in a group setting. :) This week we were given a list of 5 tricks which would equal to 6 points out of the 15 needed to move onto the next level (play dead counts as 2). Our ultimate goal is to get our champion title. Here is a video of the tricks from this week if you're interested! Yes, I'm in the video. No, you cannot see my face. As a small disclaimer, he had just learned play dead the night prior, and the muffin tin game is to help him begin scent-work.

Other plans include passing the Canine Good Citizen test and working towards champion in another dog sport. We plan to try out agility, rally-o, and obedience.

^ Awesome work Fascai and Kaiser! I love his playing dead, I like how he wants to stick his paws in the air, I'd have to try and get that on cue. And I like that you gave the Muffin Tin game a seasonal twist too.

How did you get involved in competing in trick dog competitions?

-cough- Kaiser turns 5 months on the 11th not the 12th -cough-

As for mine, Kes and Kai are pretty much on the same level. She also could do her novice title, but we are also doing the Spark group lol. I'll post Kestrel's video for week 1 later, gotta upload it to YouTube first!

Her training class went pretty good Friday. I put her in a 'dead' and she held it for about a minute while I was watching Annie and mom. Kept it until I started laughing at her and she stood up to give me this offended look. Annie did pretty well too, she finally did a stay for mom!

I'm missing my babies today! Got woke up at 7am with my mom telling me my brother's GF was in labor. So we rushed the hour and a half to the hospital and have been here all day. (She was no where near delivering. Still pretty far off after over 12 hrs)

Thankfully I fed the pups before I was shoved in the car. I'm missing them though! We are gonna spend the night at a hotel since the kid still isn't here (and it's almost midnight) but I can't wait to see them tomorrow!

I don't write too much about my doggy, but I guess I might as well a little more. Recently, Ace's Intermediate and Advanced Trick Dog titles came in the mail and I'm super excited! I have been waiting for them to arrive for a couple weeks now!

Dr.McDreamy and I are going to meet up soon to train together with our doggies, which I am excited for! It will be good for Ace to work more around other dogs.

So I just finished cleaning the bath after a very muddy puppy had to get washed (Poppy) and I was wondering if anyone had some amusing dog bath stories?
Mine is that I was housesitting for my brother and he asked me to give his dog a bath (the same Poppy) when I agreed he said good luck. After finishing washing the soaking wet pup decided it was time to jump and give me cuddles, and I spent the rest of the day quite damp.

Would someone tell me how I would go about doing something with the tricks? Those sound like a ton of fun and I'd really love to know how to get into doing something like that.

There's this website that does trick dog titles.

Question does the dog have to be AKC registered? I have a purebred GSD, but can't register her. I'm really searching for an active hobby again.
