Snippets of Jinksie Doo's Life

Well, she's been here not quite two weeks and I couldn't be happier with her :) Her old foster mum taught her quite a bit already, and I've been busy keeping up the former training and doing some work with her myself. True to her heritage, she picks up things quickly! She's also miss popular at work, playing with anyone and everyone who can keep up with her. Mostly, she tires one dog out and the next one comes and plays with her. Her and Lemon play in the mornings, and she bugs Beckett into playing with her in the evenings. She sleeps nicely through the night, is about 95% housebroken, and doesn't mind hanging out at home with a chewy bone for a few hours.

She has earned off-leash priviledges on the acreage already, and has earned them on quieter trails. She can already call off some dogs, but typical puppy (and we've only had her two weeks), if she's playing with somebody, there's no calling her back. But we'll get there. Heck, she's ahead of schedule already but a lot.

Here is a video of miss Jinks doing some recall. This is approx 75-100 feet, and she'd only been practicing recalls like this for approx 10-15 minutes training time combined over a few previous sessions. (So, maybe 5 small sessions?)

Here's a little video of Jinks and Beckett out for a walk. (Lemon had been my demo dog in class an hour before and was quite adamant that she'd done her duty for the day. So she stayed home with Urchin who highly dislikes the rain.)

And because life wouldn't be complete without a good picture, here's baby Jinksie Doo on a crisp fall day:

Off to a homecheck with Urchin tonight. Fingers crossed he finds where he is supposed to be forever.
