Progress

Guinness is a pro at sitting now! He does it every I get anything out that resembles food. We are now working on the "down" command, and making good progress. By the end of the week he should have that command under his belt as well!

He learned how to swim today also. He didn't enjoy it the first time he got in but was ready to jump in after watching his uncle Hudson retrieve the bumper!

Guinness's First Dog Show

This past weekend was the Olive Branch Kennel Club dog show, and Guinness went with us. He practiced walking on a lead, sleeping in a crate, and socializing with big dogs. At the end of the weekend he thought he was all grown-up! He didn't have a single accident in his crate, and he walks on a lead perfectly. He's getting much better about barking in his crate at night. He loves to play with the big dogs, especially Kylie the Australian Shepherd.

We have been working on "sit" today and he seems to catch on very quickly! He did well on the grooming table this morning as well, and didn't even try to jump off as I cut his nails and brushed him.

I want Guinness to be acclimated to the noises and smells of every dog show arena, whether it is conformation, obedience, or agility. I want him to be the perfect all-around dog for someone who wants to have a successful start to their own career or just wants the perfect companion.

Guinness!

Prism's Irish Brewed in Dublin, "Guinness" is out of the Molly x Finn litter. He is a handsome young boy, and will be available after all of his training is finished.
By the time his training is done, I hope to have finished his CGC title, his RN title, and his CD title.
Guinness will be the perfect companion! He has a fantastic retrieving instinct and there's no telling what this boy will accomplish- the sky's the limit!

If you are interested in giving Guinness a forever home after all of his training is complete, please contact me at maxieb@uga.edu
