Puppy Play Time
Here's the video of Tug and Heidi playing after the puppy match. Sometimes it was hard to figure out which was which, they look so much alike, and they were moving fast. At the end of the video, it was Heidi who decided to go play with the bigger puppies in the other ring.

Puppy Match.
Today was Heidi's first show. Our club sponsored a puppy match for keeshonden only. Heidi did great. First, she got to have some play time with about 5 other puppies, which she quite enjoyed. Then was meeting time. Heidi was a bit peeved that she had to stay in the crate the whole time, but she endured. Then, finally, it was time for the match. After some grooming, she entered the ring in the 3-6 month puppy class. She won her class - OK, so I admit it, she was the only one in her class- still, she did great in the ring. She even let the judge look at her bite. Then she got to go back in the ring to compete against her brother Tug, who won the 3-6 month puppy dog class. Heidi won best junior puppy (sorry Tug). After showing completed, Heidi and Tug got some play time (video on that later).
Tug also did awesome at the match - he's such a handsome boy. Crystal showed him, so it was the first show for both of them. We'll have to wait and see if Crystal gets hooked on showing.

Time just flies by. It seems harder now to keep up to date and to get pictures. Could be the number of classes in the evenings - one night Heidi has reliability, one night Moon has agility, and one night Izzy has agility. Or, it could be that making quilted backpacks for hospitality bags for the upcoming keeshond national is just sucking up all the time.
Anyway,
Congratulations to Smokee for graduating from puppy class. Not sure how they got this photo, I doubt that Heidi would sit still with a graduation cap on her head.

Bath time.
Seems like it's bath time all around. Jim gave Smokee a bath. Smokee doesn't seem to happy about it.

A not very happy boy.

Just got back from a mini vacation to Colorado. While we were away, the dogs stayed with my In-laws. Grandma and Grandpa love to spoil their grand-dogs. Since little Heidi didn't know where to signal to go outside, she had a little song that Grandma sang to her - I'm a little pee-pot...
Before our trip, Heidi got a bath and fluffing.

4 Months Old Today
Heidi is 4 months old today. Time just flies by. We have come a long way over the past couple weeks.
The jingle bells were taken off the door, because they just became another toy. I think they helped with potty training for about a week. Heidi now goes over to the door and barks (her little puppy bark) when she needs to go out. We have only had a few accidents in the house recently, and those have mostly been upstairs.
We have started a new set of classes at Dog Talk on reliability. The class is very small, and tailored for each individual student. I like that I can get away with just Heidi to work on training. It's much harder to work on training with 2 other dogs in the house that always want in on the treat action. We are good at sitting, standing, and shaking hands. We're also pretty good at downs and waving a paw. Also working on spinning in a circle and walking on a loose leash. We can do come, but only reliably in a quite location - not so good outside yet.
Heidi loves to jump. She can easily jump on the couch and she can now jump into our laps when we're sitting at the dining room table. We've started working on training for jumping into my arms - this will take some time, since she can't jump that high - yet. When she isn't sleeping, she's a little ball of energy. She gets the zoomies practically every day, and all you see is a blur of fur shooting past and she races through the kitchen into the living room and onto the couch. I can't wait to get her into agility classes.
