Gibbs from 6-9 months



It has been a long time since we've posted on the blog. It's been busy here and I've mostly forgotten about it. Gibbs finished his 8 week Rally Class and we've begun a new one last week. We're polishing all of our Rally Novice exercises and trying to get ready for our first trial on April 30th. Keep your paws crossed for us! On Sunday, we got to spend some time with Gibbs' 1/2 siblings that are about 7 weeks old. Gibbs' breeder invited us to her puppy party so that we could show off all that Gibbs knows how to do at only 9 months. We did the usual sit, down, stand, heel but also some tricks. Gibbs can get a tissue from a box, roll himself in a blanket, turn on the lights, & put things into a basket. He was a big hit despite being a little sluggish from our 2 hour conformation class. Speaking of conformation, we have our first show this weekend. We're entered both days! Yikes! I am nervous but also pretty excited. There are not many dogs entered, it will be 1 point in dogs and 2 points in bitches. Gibbs goes for his pre-show groom on Thursday at Anne's house. This week we have a visitor, my in-laws's cocker spaniel, Maggie. She is already teaching Gibbs some bad habits like barking as cars or people go past our house. *sigh* This is going to be a long week. Above is Gibbs' 6-9 month video montage!
