Certified!


Our clever boy was awarded his certificate and rosette last night for successfully completing the puppy foundation level of the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme. Our instructor said he'd been a joy to have in the group, that he'd sailed through the course and that it wont be too long until he's ready to take his bronze test! We even got a round of applause from the rest of the group! Proud isn't the word.

Friends




Here are some pics of Jet with some of his friends at work. It'll be a shame to leave them behind but I'm sure we'll go back and visit to say hello. (Scarily, Jet's only 5 months old in these photos and he's already bigger than the Vizsla)!

Preparing for take off!


This picture makes the name 'Jet' seem so appropriate!

Strike a pose


My camera is never redundant when I take it with me on a walk (especially having a dog who's such a little poser)!!

Training class (week 7)

I know, I know - I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but if I say that we were given an entry form for an obedience competition last night, I think that pretty much sums up how well Jet did in his training class!

Despite being in a group of one and two year old dogs, our little lad at only four months old completed all the exercises to a really high standard. Our new instructor didn't think he'd be able to manage a down and stay and so was suitably impressed when he did it like a little pro. His recall work was perfect as was his heel work - what a little superstar! I have to confess that although we've been doing training every day at home I wasn't expecting too much of him on his first night joining a new group - how wrong I was!

It's a real shame that we wont be able to enter him in the class but we'll be in Bristol at the weekend. Nevermind though, he's being put forward for his Kennel Club GCDS (good citizen dog scheme) puppy foundation assessment soon, so fingers crossed for that.

Pictures from today's walk




(Why does she insist on taking pictures when there's an adventure to be had?? I'll sit for this one photo and then I'm off exploring....)
