February

 Preparing to take the puppy - Lulu was very interester of the carrier :) First evening few days Lulu was keeping her eye on me and the puppy (Minnie is on my lap). First week Minnie wanted to be in my lap very often. So I worked with the fur ball on my lap. She stayed there very nicely! First day out  - in the cold :) By 4th day Lulu felt very good with Minnie: After brushing: Feeding Minnie: Lulu watching TV :) Minnie is very smart. Training her is quite diferent that I am used to :) 11. weeks old Minnie  When the doggos are left alone in the house then Minnie have the habit to take out the shoes :) And then when I arrive back, she poses with them :)  When im away then the doggos are waiting at the hallway Every night she sleeps very close to me: By the evening everybody is tired :) She also loves to be with Pärli :) And by the end of the first month, Lulu has a new best best best friend! She is already very attached to Minnie! Im so happy to see it, because she de...

Welcome home Minnie!

Let me introduce out news member of the family: Atalanta Corvinus Nobilis , but at home we call her Minnie. This name was given by my 3-year old daughter. She insisted that the puppy must be named like this. And actually on the fist evening with her - I kinda saw that the name Minnie goes well!  Minnie is a apricot medium poodle girl, born at 24. November 3023.  First a little background story. I was looking for specifically female poodle in medium size and in apricot colour, who would be able to do sport with me. Why exactly those criteria? Poodle, because I am allergic to dog/cat/horse hair, so it needs to be non-shedding, but suitable for dog sport (there was also Spanish water doggos and lagottos on the "possible breeds" table);  size and colour is because I just like it and then she is matching with my wheaten terrier :), and it has to be a  girl, because "girls just want to have fuuun", actually, because I dont want my berries to be "marked" in the g...

RO competition, 10.02.24

Although it was only 2 month passed since the knee surgery, we went to compete. i was in a way forced to do so, because I would like to make my rally obedience trainer exam in the end of march (I cannot choose the time, I have been waiting for it already since last summer). Bu I was told that i need to have a result from the highest RO class. In order to have that I needed to get first in RK4 class first. Since there are not so many competitions then we had to go already to this one with the hopes of a good results to change the class. Judge Vivian Ainsalu. Place Tallinn 1 course . So no pressure right :) Additionally We were first to start, that was not making me feel comfortable in sense of warming up the dog and having a good vibe with her. First was jump, where Lulu dropped the bar, -10p.    2nd-3rd signs were good. But on 4th (315), I looked in the wrong direction and Lulu made an unnecessary spin, -10p .  My bad handling. -1p from one down that was in too big ang...
