Has anybody seen our puppy?

Our little guy is growing up, isn't he? He is really maturing into a great looking rott in my eyes. I did take off his ecollar for the picture. The collar is working pretty good but I have the intensity on #3 and that isn't enough sting for our "tough guy". It has slowed his off leash indifference and he is a better citizen every day! If he plays his cards right we might just keep him. LOL He is still  a little tougher then I like but I am not looking to break him at this point. Yesterday at thirty-four weeks we had a wonderful training day in which Gus was a combination of Rin Tin Tin and Ol Yeller. Please don't think I am boasting (but I guess I am!!) but he was very sharp doing hand signals and off leash commands at seventy yards plus. Simply put, he is growing into everything we wanted at this point...but ask me again in a couple of days. :-)  Please don't forget that you can click on the picture and get a close up of our little devil dog.

Enjoying the day

Gus is enjoying a break from the frosty winter as the tempeture is above 40 degrees today. As you can see he is keeping a watchful eye on some golfers who decided to come out. After a winter of no one being on "his" golf course he isn't sure what to think of this.

Snug as a bug in a rug.....or dog bed!

Gus is living the high life on his new dog bed. He is now out of his crate MOST of the time and stays on the bed not caring to share it one bit. The little guy has been quite lucky as I had to send my ecollar in to be fixed and the company hasn't been able to get it fixed right, thus delaying his much needed off leash "conditioning". The poor little guy just doesn't realize his master has much more will power than him.....but he soon will. Gus is now eight months old and weighs in at seventy pounds.
