Being a Grown Up, Puppies and Dog Shows

Rookie is starting to look like a grown up. It's really scary. Still acting like a daft puppy as I'm sure he always will. No sooner were we back from holiday that Rookie and I were off looking after two lovely labby boys. He loves these boys SO much but has a real soft spot for Alfie as you can see.

Rookie and Alfie, a true bromance

We had a lot of this!
 Rookie has also been helping the community with his first trip visiting a care home. He was mostly under control! And loved all the attention.


We have a new addition to the household and at the moment Rookie is her only friend! This is Lake, my mum's new baby. Her and Rookie hit it off straight away, which is just as well as three weeks later he is still the only one who will tolerate her- but the others are coming around.

Here are a couple of videos, one is Rookie's first few days with pup, been eventful.



The other is a video of some training we did whilst we were on holiday, just playing around but he is looking quite mature. We went to Exeter Championship Obedience Show last weekend and Rookie went in the ring for a training round. He was such a super boy, tried really really hard in the pouring rain and I was so pleased with him. This video is some heelwork, recalls, retrieve and a search square. Only his second search square he's had so he doesn't realise the articles are only INSIDE it yet! It's hard to teach my wide ranging HPR to search only a tiny area! We have our third trials lesson tomorrow, really excited.
