What are your goals for 2009 - Page 3

Well allot has happened in the past year, some not so good, so I plan on turning things around this year.

1] Find my own place and get out of this hell I live in.

2] Train and title my dog with GARD

3] Continue to excell at work, and maybe sign ownership papers to the local business at the end of '09.

4] Help my girls thru another year of school with flying colors

5] Get Ruger's hips xrayed

6] Fly under the radar of men with mental issues!

7] Learn to teach my dog to have free run of the house when I am at work, so I can leave him there.

8] Teach my daughter of 10 to do OB so she can get her own dog

9] OB train my daughter of 6...lol

All in no order, just as I thought of them, however #1 IS #1

Firstly, I hope all you Guys out there achieve what you set out to do,

Then hopefully i stay in good health to get Goran through his BH in January, then his ScHh1 in June, perhaps his ScHh2 in December,

Meanwhile bringing on Pup Heidi on in obedinance and see how she goes

Last not least win the Barcelona International with the PIgeons, then fame,  And fortune will await, even at my age

Great thread/topic Ek.My goal in 2009 is to teach.

With Chaos, if he doesn't get his Grand Championship before the end of this year, I would like to get his Grand before June.  The Premier is in June and we will be invited this year to show in the Top 10 with the other top 10 GSD's.  Then he will be, yes neutered : - {  Long story! please don't ask...... 

The new pup that I am hoping to get in February.  Pleaseeeeee let there be a boy in the litter, lol.  The new pup will do much more I am thinking than Chaos has ever done.  He will get his CGC when I feel he's ready, then we will go on to get hopefully a BH and go further with him.  I will also be showing him heavily.  I have a really great feeling that he is going to do well!  I would also like to train him for a TDI dog as Chaos does.  And get him ready for the Temperament Test and hopefully he will get a very high score like Chaos did.  Chaos was amazing during this test. 

Hoping to do this with out making Chaos feel like he is being left out.  He's my boy and always will be.  Any advice in this one?  I really want him and the new pup to be buds and get along, but he has a attitude toward male pups and I need to nip it in the bud.  I have gotten some great advice from my obedience instructor and from my friend/breeder that I will be getting the pup from.  Praying that all of the advice works.  I had to give up a female because she was ripping one of my other dogs apart all the time and the vet bills were getting out of control.  I don't want this to happen with my 2 boys.

Polo z Danaru, who is 2 yrs old,  got all his schutzhund titles since May of this year so next year I will do his IPO3 and FH and AD and some schutzhund 3 competition.  Adlerbach's Ajan who is also SchH3 will do his IPO3 and FH and hopefully FH2.  My wonderful little Strut vom Eichenluft is only 5 mo so I hope to do the BH and SchH1 in the fall of 2009 and get some nice radiographs of hips and elbows.  That is always such a test of MY temperament until I know those are good :-)  Barb
