Thanks, Lynn, I'm going to start him on it. Congrats on the two girls! Trust they're doing well.
With the show in my backyard, I won't be able to resist the temptation to enter! Buckley has been doing pretty well with obedience, but I'll need to get a few quick lessons in conformation handling, either from Tom Broderick or someone at the SIDTC where we take the classes.
Maureen and I took a quick peek at an Obedience and Rally Trial this weekend on Staten Island. There was one Newf, a Landseer named Loki. While Buckley and I still have more work to do, he can pretty much do all the commands in the event we watched -- walk/heel normal, fast, slow, about turn, left, right, halt, sit. I was encouraged!
I'm hoping to get the CGC by early summer, then start working toward the CD in the fall. This will be our first full summer with Buckley, so I'm looking forward to lots of swimming and fun on the beach with him!
He's eight months old in this shot taken week before last ...
Good luck with the pups!
Tom
