Suppose I should Update

Well, considering that the snow is over a foot deep outside, I have not sequenced with the dogs since November, haha.
Working on 2x2 weaves with the herding dogs inside every day lately. I should really start with Libby. Some tricks but ehh...nothing else really. Maybe dad will snow blow out the dog run so we can work on contacts.

As is characteristic of me, I have many things to rant about. However, I will spare you today as the guests for our party are basically coming through the door. Don't think you are safe later. I'm sure there will be more things that I need to state an opinion on soon. haha

Rant on Dogs 101

This time about Dogs 101. Seriously, how can people just sum up an entire breed under a rigid list of pros and cons. For example, for the Dachshund one they tell you that they are "stubborn" but then they show clips through the entire video of a dog doing a bunch of fun tricks like waving, rolling over, and heeling. People are going to look at that and think, "Wow, look at that dog! I want a Dachsund so it can do tricks like that. Guess what people! My Siberian Husky can do all those tricks and more and even the general public knows that they aren't "easy to train" for pet people. The people that trained that Dachshund are "sport" people who understand what motivates a dog. Also, they put them down as easy keepers including the wire! If any wire breeder tells you that the coat is easy to care for, then they are just so used to it that it doesn't bother them at all. You either have to clip it or more preferably pull it down ever 3-6 months. It is a lot of work or a lot of money. Also, they are labeled as being good with household animals but not children....what the heck?! They must be basing this study on puppy mill dogs or something because every single dachshund I've met was great with kids but hated cats even if they were raised with them.

Anyway....I won't comment on the others because I honestly don't feel like watching them.
