And one more of the little man lounging on the couch:

He's doing really well. We've started agility class and he's been doing great with the excercises, absolutely no fear or hesitation, but not so great staying away from the other dogs. He wants to play with everyone! He's still a puppy and easily excitable so I can forgive him. He is excellent at listening and obedience when we're alone, and he is getting much better in class so this is good practice for him.

He also marks in the agility hall...embarrassing for me, though I know it's totally normal for an intact male. I've been trying to catch him and correct him because I want him to know it's not okay, but he's sneaky and can be hard to catch until it's too late. We'll work on that too!

Also....big news. He's probably going to be shown! Our breeder wants us to show him and she's positive he'll gain his championship. We might enter a show in July but only if I feel like he's ready. We've gotta practice with him, and I'm still working on one ear. One is perfect, the other is still struggling a bit. So they're staying taped for the next couple of months.

Otherwise he's been amazing and just the best dog ever. We love him so much! He's really growing up and is the cuddliest boy ever, especially with me. He won't let me go anywhere without him, so I usually have a toddler and a puppy AND a cat waiting for me outside the bathroom door. Yay!

:D Anyways just wanted to update. Hope everyone is doing well, as well as all your gorgeous pups.
 
Barleys looking wonderful, such a handsome lad. If you do decide to show him there are a few places that offer classes in conformation, I know the obedience place we go to has drop in classes every week and the trainer is great. Perhaps we'll finally get to meet at a show, I have Piper entered in an obedience trial in Brandon and then on from there. Good luck and keep us posted!
 
Thanks for the compliments guys!

Yeah maybe we'll see each other in a show! I might try a drop in class and see how he does! It's hard because up until now we've been doing obedience training so he'd automatically sit when we stopped walking. Gotta teach him to stand and gait now too. I ordered a show lead to practice with. Honestly I'm not 100% sure we're doing this, or when, but might as well practice!
