Your plans

Is Visa showing signs of coming into heat yet?!?

I'm going to be getting a female Groenendael from Visa's litter. Her name will probably be Nevaeh (Heaven backwards). Her registered name will be "Attra Dea's Stairway to Heaven". Kai's full name is "Fool in the Rain" and Kaedyn's is "Dazed and Confused" so it'll fit with the Led Zeppelin theme.

The pup will be socialized SO much. I don't want to resocialize another adult dog. Hopefully I'll have my dog daycare set up while it's growing up so I can bring it to work with me and socialize with dogs there. If not, I'll take it to dog parks regularly.. and watch agility trials with it too. I'd love to do therapy with this one too as that would be AWESOME socialization.

I'm also really excited because I'll be feeding this pup raw from the get-go. It'll be really interesting seeing how fast it grows.

I won't be training in obedience too extensively as a pup though. The reason I'm allowed to get this pup is so I can bring it to a program with me. The program requires us to bring an untrained dog. I'll only be teaching it sit, down, stay, and come as well as commands for around the house, and tricks.. no heel, stand, finish, retrieve, etc. I want this pup to have unbelievable recall so I'll abe focusing a lot on recall. I'm going to train for contacts, pause, weaves and tunnel while it's a pup. Maybe even jumps too.. but have it set low enough for it to simply walk over. I think I might start on preparing it for flyball too.

As an adult, we will compete in obedience, agility, hopefully flyball and dabble in a bit of hobby herding if the instinct is there. I'd love to train this dog to utility level in obedience. We'll also compete in conformation depending on how it turns out (although, I'm sure it'll be uber pretty with visa as a mommy!) And if I can find a club for it, I'd LOVE to take on Schutzhund and Rally-o.

And if she turns out to be an excellent example of her breed, I would love to breed her.

Depends on what kind of dog really, and I doubt I'll be getting anymore dogs for a long time.
Someday, I hope to show some dog, preferably a Boxer or Pom, and maybe if I ever got a Pitbull, showing the Public that they're not all vicious and that the owner makes them that way.. *shrug* I really don't know.

Any future dogs I get will be trained a recal and stay right away because that is the biggest dissapointment to not be able to let your dog off leash. If he is a dal (most likley) He'll be trained and compete in road dog trials. The names I have saved are Euphoric Vertigo "Dizzy" Mezzo Mixxx "Mixer" and I have more too.

Everyone has such nice plans.

Is Visa showing signs of coming into heat yet?!?

She's acting completely retarded, but I think that's just her LOL. I'm surprised she hasn't come in yet. She must be the only dog that actually comes in when it's supposed to lol. She's going to come in at the same time as Taboo.

Your puppy will definatly be show quality lol. No doubt about it. I really want to enter Visa into the Best Brood Bitch class, and then we can enter her with whichever two of the three puppies are prettier, your's, mine, or Marla's.

I want to do therapy with my puppy too. I wanted to do it with Visa but she'd never pass the exam. I have the application ready. One of the questions is "Do you EVER feed your pet raw meat or bones?" I feel bad lying lol. Mostly because I'm proud to feed my dog a raw diet. But they won't accept them if they do, which is silly because it's easier to catch salmonella from a dog that eats kibble.

I still like the name Rhythm. But now I'm thinking of the name Revel too.

I am getting my Chihuahua puppy in July! We will be driving to Texas, I will be flying from Dallas to Vegas, and then to Oregon! Whew! The puppy I was considering was already reserved so I am just going to have a good look when I get there. Right now, there are two girls and one boy. Everybody thinks I will like the little runt girl because she is loud and feisty! Hmm. So, I may end up getting her.

I plan to take him/her to obedience classes. I want to do agility but I don't know if that's even possible right now. I really want to, though. Can Chis even do agility? Anyways. I have a couple of idea for registered names. "The Stars In His Eyes", call name would be Orion. "Odins Valkyrie" or "Odins One", call name would be Freyja. I thought up a really nifty call name last night but I forgot what it was.

So excited. No, I don't plan on breeding him/her. I thought about doing it eventually (by reputable standards) with a particular breed but I don't think I ever will. I want my dog/cat/small animal rescue.

I already have my pup Here's my plans... who knows how they'll turn out, though.

*15 weeks (next Saturday) starts Puppy Kindegarten/Play classes

*Socializing with every dog & person I know... ongoing

*6 months start Puppy Agility

*6 months start formal Obedience

*8 months get CGC

*12 months+ start Flyball!

*12 months try for Herding Instinct Test (if he shows drive)

*12+ months start Agility and/or Rally-O training

*12+ months start Frizbee training (he's already obsessed with frizbees!)


One thing that I'm super bummed about is the fact that Fozzie cannot be shown. I wanted to show my Cardi, and my sister wanted to show her in Jrs, just for fun. We might try 4-H with him, and/or Gonzo.

We are talking about another five or six years, but I really want to keep these plans. I am going to get a Golden Retriever from a breeder that lives an hour away from my house. They are very good breeders, from what I hear, and at least two people on my block got their Goldens there. The Golden will possibly live in my house for the first 6-months to a year in my parents house. Then I will move into an apartment. A big apartment preferably and live there. When I get a house, I will probably get another puppy. A Great Dane puppy from a breeder. Then, I will rescue a purebred golden(possibly mix) from a rescue, and he will be a seinor. I will probably do agility or flyball with my first Golden. Only one sport though. The Great Dane I will probably just do agility with. Since, the seinor Golden [mix] will be to old(I want one around 8 years) I'll make him a therapy dog. I am also considering adopting a pitbull puppy or a pit mix and I will make him or her a therapy dog to really show people what pitbulls are truley like. But maybe not. That's my plans lol. Sorry this is so long.
