table on the deck overlooking the dog yard.  Winter 07.
Ike after a sled run, Dec. 2006, age 21 mos.  His first run a few weeks
after an injury, we bandaged him just in case but it gave him no trouble.  
He's a tough kid though, handled his stitches as though nothing was
going on.
Training the babies:  Ike runs double lead with little sister Amy,
Beamer runs wheel with little Buster.  Buster and Amy are 4 mos,
this was their first time in a team and boy did they catch on!  8/07

A couple months later, he trained Buster and Amy's littermate,
Layla!

See Ikey's first run on a public agility course!  This too was part of the Waukesha County Pet Expo on September 6.  
For a small donation anyone had the opportunity to try their dog on the course.

This was maybe his third time on any course, his handler didn't know where she was going, and he encountered
obstacles he'd never seen before.

First run:  did ok til the chute, he slowed down so I lifted the end and called him.  Didn't want to do the tire jump, not
so hot on the weaves, didn't want to do the dog walk.   He was never asked to try the teeter because he'd never tried
and it should be done with care.

Second run:  vastly improved!  Did everything but the teeter and again, he wasn't asked to try it.  He did it under
time.

We had SO much fun, we are headed into classes!
