Misty jumps into the river at mid summer 2009

Misty and Mindy playing
Misty is jolly, smooth moving and fast. She also gets well on with her mom as can be seen from the picture.
Unlike her mom, Misty is a bit loud one. When playing with her siblings, there is sometimes such a noise that one has to check it is not getting too serious.
Motivation stick seems to work well with Misty but sometimes it is good to use good old treats to calm her down a bit.

Misty likes jumping

and the leaps are long too

Action packed scenes from Auran Nuuskut agility fun trial, 2009. Maybe soon she could move to official comptitions?

Misty jumping
Ilona started agility with Mistyn already the first summer at Golden Ring camp.
First autumn Misty went few times to try agility with Turun Seudun Kääpiökoirat. But then Ilona joined Auran Nuuskut agility group due to better time and other trainings they organise.
First year or so we were careful not to use too high obstacles.

Time to change the toy bird to a real one
Getting used to dead birds started early the first summer when Viivi and IInka's owner (Merja) brought the dead woodpecker to obedience training.
After a good start we have every now and then given an opportunity to carry a crow or seagull. From that point of view it looks good if we just got the returning of the birds better....
In addition to obedience, agility and retrieving training we have few times tried blood trail.
Some funny moments
Just for Ilona's teacher, it is true that the dog really ate that spring report....
There are a lot of fun stories but from this one there is a picture too.
Here Rasmus had just got the rabbit to carry and obviously he had to come to show it off to little sister.
It just happened that Misty snatched it away from him before anybody had time to react.
