Good Morning Steve :)
           How is my favorite guy doing this morning.  One of my first accomplishments I have checked off, was to certify Jami as an assistance dog.  With that done, this spring is to get her BH and in the fall get her Sch I.   I really want to have great tracking scores, so I am really going to tackle this project. I have all kinds of tracking surfaces here at work and will be able use them at different times of the day. I put one foot in front of the other and I hope all goes well for us this year. I as a handler am clear in the mind,  Ha Ha, but seriously I was having problems dealing last year with the illness and death of my dutch shepherd Astra.
This year I have complete confidence that I will trial and be successful.

Always,
Cee

Hi Cee
I am Fine, Yes, it is good to know that you are clear in what you want to do and i hope it all goes well and i am sure they will you seem to be a determined lady
 It is great to have a goal to aim for, so many here in the Clubs i go too train there Dogs two or three times a week but have no plans or thoughts of what there aims are which is a pity

Goals for 2010:
  Try to get relief for Nicco and subdue his scratching and chewing on himself. Hopefully starting a test group in May that might provide the answer or at least help us get closer to helping him.
  Get a new Pup for My wife and I and one for my Son and his Family. Get both of these Pup's started in basic training and socialized by the end of the year. Actually 2011 will be the Goal to reach year. Sch 1 on both of the new Pup's....I will be very happy if this can happen. Improving Nicco's health is the Main Goal for 2010....

I,d like to get my Sch1 and Sch2 on my Fiest, Atleast a Bh on my Holly, and possibly a litter out of Axel this fall and Lose 100 pounds.
 
And gain the expertize to read a dog by the ear set.

What are you feeding to your Nicco, May be a factor if your food you feed contains a lot of Grains, If it does change it for a non grain Kibble

A PSA1 on Baden, maybe a 2 if we can catch another trial, just foundation stuff for the little one so he can title next year.

Hello Steve1  ..............  This is a big year for me as I am most of the way prepared to get at the least the Sch 1-2 on my Bomber son by mid August ................ and if I still have good weather up here in the way north of Michigan by late fall  the 3 is well within reach.  Happy training for you to !  Regards ............ Greg

Thanks for the suggestion Steve.....he is on a no grain diet...has been since he was about 6 months old. Appreciate the advice though.

one other thing do you keep him indoors living and do you have the vcentral heating on if so that could be the problem My Dogs allmy life live outdoors never a problem with Shkin coat or anything else Perhaps if he is in doors then try and get him outside I am sure in a month you will see a change in his condition, Just a thought
