Jennifer Ruzsa Webboard User Reg: 03-21-2006 Posts: 331 Loc: Offline	I just picked up a new boy, a 1-year-old ACD who is going to be my obedience prospect. He presents an interesting challenge for me because he comes to me at a year old, his drive and grip hasn't really been cultivated. So he's going to give me some good experience in building drive, focus, and grip in a dog that I am not working with from a puppy. I find the drive and grip much easier to develop from a baby. If this boy demonstrates an aptitude for the bitework portion of SchH, we may compete in SchH as well. It will all depend on what I can cultivate. This will be the first dog that I a) haven't had from a puppy and/or b) didn't have the natural drives for the work I tend to gravitate towards. This boy DOES love to play with a ball and he will happily retrieve and carries a ball everywhere.

He's such a happy, fun-loving boy! He can be a real dope. LOVES to cuddle. Seems to me like the sort of ACD that is going to take time to grow into his aloofness.

Jennifer Ruzsa Webboard User Reg: 03-21-2006 Posts: 331 Loc: Offline	Thank you Melissa and Angelique... I'm DEFINITELY going to be going for CKC Obedience titles, possibly AKC (if I can budget the travel time in) and ideally SchH. For fun I want to get out to a few disc dog trials with him just to say we did, ya know? Not sure about herding but will give it a go with either this boy (or my other boy, the pup) if I can find a good yet affordable place once I move.
