She has become such a loving and fun partner for Eleanor, who has done all of the work with her. She started off by attending the puppy training classes at Barnlake and flew through all of the exercises for the puppy foundation course. It was difficult to continue with show committements, so training was then completed at home with the other dogs. Good progress has been made but much harder to be disciplined with training with other things going on! When the weather improves and the days start to lengthen then more training with happen.
Eve made her showing debut at Windsor Champ show, where Eleanor handled her to a 4th in the Puppy Stakes class with an entry of over 40 puppies. She was also placed in the NSDTR Class amongst much older puppies, and excellent start and she took it all in her stride.
She also passed her KC Good Citizen Bronze award at Windsor and is hoping to take the Silver award early next year.
She has really enjoyed her showing, where she has gained two Best Puppy awards and Two group placings at Open level and has been placed in Puppy, Junior and Post Grad Level at Open and Champ Shows!
Eleanor has introduced her slowly to the handling classes and has won a few and is usually placed, she has high hopes for her at Welsh Junior of the Year in Feb 2014.
But most of all she is such a character to live with, adores Trio and will play for hours with her. Maddie has now decided that she must be staying so will now play with her, but does tell her off when she gets too rough something that the other dogs don't! Eve loves to swim with the munsters and will happily retrieve all day long.
Now that she has turned one Eleanor will begin some agility training with the hope that she might enter her in some competitions towards the end of next season.
Some lovely updates on all the pups' progress. Thanks for organising, Donna. As one of the older, first litter - can I take the liberty of thanking all of you at Seahaven on behalf of all us pups, old and new, for the start in life we were given. And a special "thank you" to Mammy Tilly and Daddy Red, who also did such a fine job with us. It would be nice for all the pups and their owners if Donna and Jane were able to post some up-to-date snaps of our parents on the Blog as some of us of course don't get to see them.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday for yesterday! Eve is a wonderful girl and Eleanor and her look great in the pic with the birthday cake and what a brilliant cake. They have done so well together and clearly have a great bond with each other.
ReplyDeleteSuper pics, you must be so pleased with this litter, Donna! Lovely dogs. Great to hear how well Eleanor is getting along as well.
