 Dabbie
is
turning out to be an AWESOME agility dog and a terrific dog to be with.
She's such a charmer! All my students just love her. She is so, so
funny! I could tell you stories about the funny things that she does.
I'd need a lot more time and more space than
we have.
At a recent show lots of people came up to tell me how nice Dabbie is
and to ask where I got her. She was so funny in her gamble run (got 1st
place). She went up the a-frame and couldn't find me because I was so
far behind. She turned around and went back over it. By that time, I
had passed her and was on the other side. She was so upset that she
couldn't find me. The arena was so noisy that even though I was calling
her name, she couldn't see me. We finally connected and you should have
seen her face. Sheer joy! Everyone watching on the sidelines was
laughing. She got all wiggly and happy, she jumped up on me like we had
not seen each other for years. Then she started looking around for the
next obstacle, like she was saying, "There you are, now let's
play". She's just so cute!
 Another
thing. I've been working with her for the last six months to get into
one of the chairs at the farm and wait for me to call her. It's a great
place for her because she's out of the way and yet right there for me to
call her if I need her as a demo. She knows "Get in your chair" and
will fly across the agility area and leap into a chair. For a while,
she would hit it too hard and flip the chair over, then climb onto the
back of it on the ground. Now she's learned how to get into the chairs
without flipping them.
The funny thing is how she has decided to improve this game. She has
decided that she has to stay
in a chair, but she doesn't understand that she has to stay in JUST ONE
chair. She'll sit in her chair for a while, then get bored
and will walk or leap from one chair to the next. If the other chair is
a little too far, she leans way over and you can see her trying to
decide if she can make the leap. Sometimes she does and tries so hard
not to knock the chair over and balances on it until it falls or
settles. She also walks all across my students laps if they are sitting
in the chairs. She just walks across from one person to the next,
getting hugs and kisses, or just passing them on her way to another
chair or another person.
She does all of this and never touches the ground. It's hard to teach
classes when she's such a clown. I wouldn't think of stopping her from
playing leap chair. It's so cute and everyone gets such a kick out of
it.
She's quite the charmer!
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy Dabbie. She's so much fun to train
that I'm finding myself working with her more than all my other dogs put
together!
Thank you for breeding such a cool dog! I know you were going to keep
her, but I cannot thank you enough for parting with her and selling her
to me
