Anddddd It's Been A Year

Or almost a year. I'm the worst at updating. BUT I'm making an effort to be better because (drum roll), I have a very cool project that I'm working on. His name is LEDGER and he is a 12 week old goldendoodle! He's about as cute as they come! He will be training with me to eventually be able to go and assist the Guardian Ad Litem Advocacy Team and the juveniles that are testifying. He will be an amazing facility dog if he keeps up how he's been doing. I don't see that path straying!

solid "leave it" 

So, even though LEDGER has his own Facebook page and Instagram, which are updated pretty frequently, I'll discuss more of his training on here! LEDGY was born at and started out his training at American K9, and then did some puppy socializing at Phoenix Assistance Dogs before coming to me. As always, here's a bunch of pictures and maybe some videos if I can figure out how to upload them.

look at that smile! 

Now, about DJOLI. She's gorgeous, intelligent, spunky, and one of the best mannered puppies I've ever had. Her name means "happy" in the Island language of Papiamento. I learned it last year when I visited Curacao. Well, she certainly lives up to her name and is a happy, happy girl! Our hopes for her is that she is a working dog, but also the start of our shepherd breeding program! We have two long years to wait to find out about that, but in the meantime she's been amazing to train!

Gorgeous girl!
