I just wanted to introduce myself and my puppies. :D
I'm 20yrs old and live on the West Coast. I have always had dogs. I got a 8wk old golden retriever almost 6years and he sparked my interest in training and showing dogs. I took several OB classes then joined 4-H for dogs. 4-H was the greatest experience of my life I'd have to say. It taught me OB training and all about showmanship. Jared (dog) and I did very well in 4-H winning multiple awards and going to state every single year. I've continued training after I was finished with 4-H and even have helped/trained several family and friends dogs. I've decided training and hopefully showing will be my life long .... obsession. XD
Doggies:
Jared - turning 6yr old Golden Retriever - Jared is the love of my life. We have done everything from OB work to showmanship to agility. Hes kinda of "retired" now and just has to do some general OB work every day on his walks.

Callie -1 1/2 yr old Pitbull mix - Cal is a bit insane over toys and playing tug. She will soon be starting her agility training because she has the drive and man can the girl jump! NEVER NEVER say squirrel around her because she goes crazy. She will lay under a tree that she saw one go up for hours looking for it or watching it and actually stalks the yard looking for them. She and Jared are soulmates they sleep/groom/play and do EVERYTHING together. example: Jared scraped his face on something and has an open gash and Callie will lick it for him since he can't reach it. I had to actually check with my vet to make sure she would not make it any worse and he told us naw that in all reality its keeping the wound cleaner.

Charlie -dads dog 10yr old PitbullXLab- Sweet old grump that does not like children sadly enough. He acts like hes a puppy unless his joints are hurting. He is our lizard chaser. He has actually pulled our wood pile over looking for lizards lmao!

lives in different households
Chelsea -sisters dog 5 turning 6yr old Akita/Malamute/Samoyed/GSD/Wolf- She is a crazy huge hairy dog! She weighs in at about 120lbs not sure how much of that is hair weight lmao! She is a character because she holds grudges and likes to punish Jared when he comes over because he does not live with her XD. Very Very dog agressive though :( but we are working on that.

Bandit - grandma's dog 2yrold BorderCollie - Bandy is a freak of nature. Hes very very submissive unless hes outside then he ignores all commands. You say come he runs the other way :/

Sarah- other sisters dog 12yr old Beagle xLab- Sarah is the sweeties old girl. She loves car rides and having her butt itched for her. Sadly she is getting put down here soon because she has no bladder control , barely eats, and has sever arthritis.
Dutch - same as sarah , Aussie Shep mix we think - wildly hyper pup that my sister never works with so has no manners at all but was a cutie.
Auto - LabXMastif 5yrs- Auto was kinda forced on my sister. She took him in for a friend until she could find a place to live but now the friend refuses to take him back but thats fine cause my sister loves him now. Auto very protective and hates men in uniform because he was beaten by a cop that was harrassing my sisters friend (dated him I guess turned out badly). He will talk to you. If you stop petting him he rumbles or barks asking you to keep going lmao!
