Her grandfather is a breed Champion, Junior Hunter, and Obedience Trial Champion 9 times over. Her sire has a lot of Swedish breed and field titles as well as a Senior Hunter here in the states. She has a really good legacy!
Awwww, so cute! ::cuddles her:: I'm sure you and she will have lots of fun together. Can't wait to hear how she does! How soon will you start working her for flyball, rally, etc?
We'll start the basics of obedience here at home right away; by the time she's had enough vaccinations to go out and about, she should have a clue about Come, Sit, Down, and leash walking. She'll start formal classes at about 6 months. Flyball will start at about a year; she won't be playing until at least 18 months, since I don't want her slamming into the box until her growth plates are closed.
Her breeder wants to show her in breed and get at least a JH on her, so I'll let her do those. She may start her training for those in the next few months. I'll just be driving her to the breeder for that.
I'm sure there will be an abundance of antics. Right now she's having a viscious tug of war with my left sleeve. I know you understand the joys og\f a Retriever puppy!
She's pretty smart too! First night she did NOT accept being crated at bedtime, and screamed her outrage for 45 minutes. Last night I opened the crate door and said "kennel up"; she walked in on her own, grumbled a few minutes (but no screaming), and went to sleep. She's figuring out where she's supposed to potty too. We're in love!
