Puppy Class Graduation =) *22*

[bckrazy]

My little boy graduated from puppy class! He actually graduated in August but... uh... I've been bad about posting lately. =P

Fozzie had a lot of fun in his classes. They were awesome, because 30 minutes was dedicated to just letting them play off-leash together, so he got good doggy socialization. The classes taught sit, down, stand, left side, heeling, wait, stay, come, release, and leave it. Most of that he already knew but it was awesome to practice it with so many distractions. Fozzie placed 1st in the final test, which included everything we had learned, AND in "musical pups"; which was where we walked around a circle with music playing, and when the music stopped each puppy had to sit & wait a few feet away, the last puppy left who did it the fastest after all the others were eliminated won. He got a blue ribbon & a toy for each win. He's so smart & a total chow-hound!

Ok, I have a ton of pics. Please excuse the wierd lighting in some of them, it was super bright outside!

Fozzie, the Corgi mix, and Poppy, the Cardigan! You can tell the differences. Except they're almost exact on size & age...

Congrats to your baby, now don't forget Basic Training to get your CGC and then there is Advanced training and then what the heck go for his CD title and why not...Get his CDX. Like kids, they grow so fast.

Oh Happy Graduation!! :)
Cochise is only 2 weeks away from his puppy graduation! It's quite exciting isn't it!? :D

[bckrazy]

:( I didn't realize this font color closely resembles vomit. pehhh. Oh well. I hope you enjoyed the excessive amounts of pics! I know I've been bad about posting Fozzie, and he is growing up SO fast! He's almost 30 lbs and he just celebrated turning 6 months old.

[bckrazy]

LOL Tim... yep, he's already signed up to start 16 weeks of Obedience (beginning through off-leash) at the end of the month. I was going to try for his CGC in October, but I dunno if he's ready yet! I really love these trainers, they teach puppy, beginning, advanced, & competitive Obedience, and give CGC's, and teach rally-o and agility, and therapy training. I took Gonzo there for several months and he did so well, I'm sure Fozzie will too. I don't think Fozzie would enjoy competitive Obedience as much as Gonzy, though... he's no Border Collie. :p

thanks Sixy! It really is exciting! I wish they would've given them graduation caps, though!

[wolf_Q]

Congratulations Fozzie!!! He is such a cutie, and yes you have been bad about posting pics, I want more! :p It looks like his mask is fading a bit and he's getting more brown. I love how both of his ears stick up now!

[luvofallhorses]

aww way to go Fozzie! :D he's such a smart boy! :D give him a belated congrats hug for me! :D

this picture made me laugh! what a goof! :D

and that made me laugh when you said the font color resembles vomit. :p

[flamepony12]

so cuuute <333 congratulations Fozzie! :D

[Karen]

Gotta love those ears! Congratulations on graduation, Fozzie!

[chocolatepuppy]

Congratulations Fozzie! Good boy! All of the pups are so cute! :D

[bckrazy]

thanks for all of the nice replies! ;)

Amy, you're right! He is now almost completely a red-head. My friends compare it to a red tupee =p... it's cute, though. I have seen a lot of tri-colored Corgi's with red heads like his. I'm posting new pics soon, and I took one of just the top of his head so you can see it better.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I just love that little guy!!!! Great pics!! Instead of vomit, can we go with Springtime? ;) ;) ;) That is so funny :)

CONGRATULATIONS FOZZIE!!!!! :D

[cyber-sibes]

Congratulations, BP Graduate Fozzie! That boy is pure adorable, from head to tail! His little puppy friends are pretty cute, too. I can see why you want to squeeze Winston's cheeks, what a cutie! (Sherman said: Did you say Winston? That's my big brother's name, too!")

[Chilli]

Congratulations, Fozzie!! :D
Man, he's growing so fast. =) And he seems to have made plenty of friends, all just as adorable as him!
I'm so glad we finally got to see some pictures of that cute little guy again!

[Giselle]

CONGRATS Fozzie!!!!!! Good Gawds you are too cute for words :D Gissie sends tons of smooches and licks to you (and PSST! we need Gonzy pictures!)

[RobiLee]

Congrats, Fozzie!

Geesh, he is such a cutie. I'm think I'm going to have to steal him away;)...hmm, while I'm at it I might as well snatch Gonzo too :p .

Love the pics!

[cloverfdx]

Wow! That sounds like an awesome puppy class. I like the musical chairs idea. I bet Fozzie was the cutest puppy in the class.

Congratulations!
