Congrats TJ. Enzo is a beautiful little guy. Bet you can't wait to get him home for a good squeezing....lol. What a sweet face. But then I'm partial to the red boys myself.

atikocutI agree, that face is adorable. But I think Monica nailed it a few weeks ago when she said in a email that there was not a bad pup in this litter! susanwHe will be spoiled, there is no doubt about that... And I cannot wait at all for him to come home. I will allow him to get use to his surroundings before he gets smothered ha ha because I guess he will be very curious when he gets to the house.

I forgot to mention that my girl's name is Ollie... I should probably update my signature on this thing lol... Anyways, I had the privilege to be there when Monica did the temperament testing for the girls, which was a really nice experience to see how she does it and what she looks for, how she grades them, etc. My girl seemed to use her nose quite well, so I'm thinking that getting into tracking would be fun to do with her!

It's no natural for puppies to use their nose, as it's all they know. As humans, we "ruin" that on the dogs as we hand them their treats, hand them their dinner...so they don't use their noses as they did when they were puppies. Shortly after we brought Kazi home, we took her to watch Dante ( ok she just went along..lol ) in his scent class. For fun, the instructor did a few sessions with Kazi, and he was so amazed with her. As a puppy, she still used her nose to find food, so when he did the food she found it with ease. Perhaps a suggestion I could make is to find a training facility that also offers scent classes. The dogs will love it!

Sounds cool! I may do something like that, maybe hide a few treats away in different places and see if he can find them. Make a game out of it.

That's a great idea, and one that we also do inside and outside of the house. It's fun to make them sit/stay or down/stay and then go and hide their toy. They get so much enjoyment out of having to search it out. You can do easy ones at first, making your way over a few months to different spots. It's a lot of fun for you both. It makes me laugh now thinking of it, but Kerrie has to cover Dante's eyes at times as he "peaks"....such a cheater!

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum My husband and I will be bringing Kallie, red female with red collar, home on Friday. We had the third reservation of three girls, but she kind of picked us when we went to meet her. It was real sweet. I'll post a pic of our meet and greet once I figure out how... Look forward to chatting and sharing.
