utter chaos dave, if anyone has a video camera they should bring it. We might be able to make a youtube video that would go viral!

I am putting Sky to bed early and giving him an extra allotment of kibble in the morning. For some reason when puppies look at him he has a big red X on his chest. They all know not to mess with Blue but they love to torment Sky.

I will bring a video camera. Tye's resting up now.

We had a mini reunion today. Blue, Mickey, Radar, Kenna and Tye. They had a great time. A couple of low quality videos will give you the flavor of the get together.

That was quick.
Let me know when your friend gets ya that disc of pics....

It was a fun day guys, these dogs were absolutely crazy, my left knee can testify to that. I got hit from behind by a 300lb ball o labs running at full speed. I ended up on my back in a snowy/muddy cornfield, everyone, especially Dave got a good laugh out of it. Luckily, I dont think anyone got it on camera.

Boris at 11 months. Right at 90 pounds.

Two very nice shots. They are more like identical twins than brothers. I'm not sure I could tell them apart if they got together.

Does Boris pee like a real male or squat? My big pussy still squats to pee.

Tye seems razor sharp to me. I have taught him to:

Sit and lay down by voice, whistle or hand signal
Go to Rug
Roll Over
High Five
Crawl
Spin
Bring me his leash or food dish on command
Jump over things on command. Presently working on crawling under or jumping over as commanded


I have NOT taught him to leave my socks alone, but he will now reluctantly drop them on command.

This photo of Tye is now in the Creative Leisure web catalog

I am such a proud awh um ..........what ever the hell I am to these dogs. Great pics!!!
Radar was sapose to be my sons dog but whenever possible he is at my side. I kinda like him being there.

Funny how solid and dignified they look when laying down. When sitting they look goofy. They sure are loooong legged beasts. But Tye can jump a long ways due to those legs.

Boris still squats when he pees although he HAS lifted the leg about 10 times, with no real obvious reason why he does/doesn't.

He also has the sock/clothes obsession although he only grabs stuff when we are sleeping or have left him at home alone for a couple of hours. Even then, he generally just sits with them rather than chew them.

Great pic Dave!
The most useful command I've used with my dogs is "kennel".
It means:
Get in the truck.
Get in the boat.
Get in the box.....etc....

I shot a few more of Tye today. I think he's a damn fine looking dog, but I am a little biased.


Tye getting warmed up. Damn he has loooong legs.



He's great at catching food. The frisbee, not so much.



His glamour shot.

Great shots guys...Mickey and Blue put out some handsome dogs for sure.

Whatcom Falls is one of my favorite stomping grounds in Western WA and a great area for running the dog. I have lots of photos of my pup on that bridge. Spent alot of time out there during my college days.

Better watch it, you could get arrested for that these days. .. . .

Oops! Can't say that never happened out there in the park...but I meant "pup"

Has anyone else had their dogs go through what seems like a serious maturing process in the last month? Boris really seems to have turned the corner from being a lab puppy to somewhat of a thoughtful dog.

I really couldn't be happier with him.

I can hear your pup right now -
"Hey dad, these parlor tricks are fun for pups, when do I graduate to the hunting and field training stuff???"

BTW,nice picts, and It looks like you folks had a great time with the pups.

Take Care

Not yet, but he's getting there.

little bit every day. really loves chasing pheasant wings and tracking them around the yard. she now barks at people at the door, or someone walking down the street. she's becoming territorial. still very much a puppy a lot of the time. birthday next week!
