this morning my boy Elliott slipped out the back gate and into my
neighbors pasture, I was five minutes behind him and calling him. The
feild is very "knolly"as we are in the foothills of the blueridge
mountains.
I heard a gunshot and then three yelps which i reckognized to be elliotts.
then i saw my neighbor coming from that direction on a four wheeler, i
stopped him and asked if he just shot my dog. He said he shot a black dog
but it didnt look like mine. I asked him to take me to where he shot the
dog. He drove me 25 acres in another direction and said the dog ran off
into the woods.  I spent the next four hours thrashing through thickets
and calling out for him.
I came back home and drove around for another 45 minutes looking for him.
finnally i called the police and told them my neighbor shot my dog. he was
picked up on an animal cruelty charge and refused to cooperate. the
magistrate told him she was going to lock him up until tuesday then he
said it was my dog he shot and he hid the body.
as i was there the moment he was shot i could probably taken him to get
medical treatment and may have saved him, but this guy had me searching
everywhere, while elliott lay  bleeding to death.
I know its my fault for not watching him every minute, but this was 6:00
in the am and I just went gone out to let the goats and chickens out of
the barns- i never really got to see him today. we just woke up-went right
out to do chores like every other day.
I miss him, and I loved him like no other.

Posted in plain text for Sherry:


! have been awake pretty much since Wednesday morning but I had to post
this..

I am so proud of my girl Macy..aka... Santera's Evening Masquerade..
Macy freewhelped 18 beautiful Berner babies yesterday. 9 males and 9
females.  She began her labor at about 5:30 am yesterday morning. Her
first pup was delivered at 8:30 am .. she continued at a relaxed pace
for the next 18 hours. Her last pup a small female was delivered at 2:30
am this morning,. sadly that last pup couldn't hang on and we lost her
this morning.. Macy had no drugs of any type.. She did it all completely
on her own. Puppies all weigh between 14 and 16 ozs. and all but 1 have
very nice markings.. 1 has very high white "boots" on both his front
feet.

I want to thank Macy's breeder Sandy Novocin for allowing me to choose
Macy. I went to Sandy looking for a bitch that had good orthopedics and
longevity that could possibly also bring free whelping into my lines.. I
have had alot of problems in my lines with having to section everything
for very small litters.
Macy has been everything I could ask for and more..She has a wonderful
temperment and is a nice moving bitch with beautiful expression.
The daddy to this litter is my Rigg's..Sunshine-Von Engel's Lethal
Weapon. Celia Cuellar bred this wonderful boy. I was fortunate to get
him.. He is a beautiful big boy with lots of type..He is a wonderful
ambassador to the breed and I am hopeful that he will lend some of his
size and beautiful type to this litter.

As an added bonus Mom and Dad are both excellents with clear elbows and
have nornal eyes, hearts and thryoids. 

Sandy and Celia.. Thank you for allowing these 2 wonderful dogs to be a
part of my breeding program.
It is quite an accomplishment in this breed to have a bitch that will
free whelp.. let alone such a large litter..and with NO help.

I see lot's of supplementing in my future..Anyone know how to find out
if there has been a larger litter than this? maybe Macy is a new
Titleholder after all

now to get some sleep

I wanted to say thank you once again to those who offered support and advice over Kelby's elbow dysplasia. We were going with a non surgery option until I couldn't stand to see her in such pain anymore. She went downhill too rapidly for my liking. We had surgery two weeks ago and her recovery has been incredible. The surgeon is amazed and I think  even at this early stage it was the right thing to do for us. She's a different dog and of course she thinks she's all better! The stitches have just come out and now we keep her quiet and wait and see.
Thanks again. I'm not necessarily advocating surgery. It was an extremely tough decision but in this case I think the right one.

Agility training (was Re: (no subject)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

Hi Denise,

My thoughts follow, but I do agility for fun and not competition so this is a 
pretty inexpert view.
 
There are so many skills involved in agility, it's never too young to start 
working on many of them.  You just want to keep in mind that Deuce's joints 
are still developing and therefore somewhat vulnerable and...that he's a 
teenager so his brain can go 'out to lunch' at any time without notice .

So, my approach to agilty with a young dog is to work heavily on my 
relationship with the dog, teach them to work at a distance, follow my body, 
that kind of thing.  I'll do the obstacles with my young dog BUT no where 
near competition height.  I'd do low jumps, set the A-frame wide open (just 
prop up the center a bit if the chains won't go far enough), lowered dog 
walk, lowered teeter, etcand avoid a lot of repetition.  

What you're training for is the dog to do each obstacle in a FULLY controlled 
manner...not as a wild eyed hot shot.  It's those flying leap moments that I 
think pose the most risk for youngsters so preventing them is the real 
challenge of doing agility with a teen.

Agility puts the most stress on the front assembly of the dog, less on the 
hips.  To get an idea of why this is so important to know, take a close look 
at a dog's skeleton.  You'll see that the front end is made up of a 
succession of bones that aren't held together by much at all.  No nice, 
tight, full contact support like you see in the ball and socket joint of the 
hips.  In the front, it's bone to bone with little holding things in place 
but ligaments.  Keeping that picture in mind will help guide you in deciding 
what and how much to have Deuce practice.  And the decision IS up to you... 
some teachers are more knowledgeable about working with a large dog than 
others but the final decision on what to do and not during class is yours.   

Drop an email to Kris Osojnicki,  [EMAIL PROTECTED], for info on the 
Berner Agility elist.  I'm sure there's lots of experience there to take 
advantage of.

~ Sherri Venditti

2003-01-31 Thread Claudia Brydon
Denise, Deuce and all,
I started training Boomer at about 12 weeks.  Of course I didn't have
him jump or do the dangerous stuff at that age.  But the earlier you expose
to the baby teeter, tunnel, ladder on the ground (to teach him where his
feet are), etc., the easier it is later.
Boomer went to the big show in Cleveland in December in the preferred
classes so he didn't have to jump full height.  He wasn't quit 19 months old
and, other than knocking off a bar here and there (He's still learning how
to jump.  It's hard for a big dog to know where to gather himself between
jumps so that the take-off is in the right place.), he performed beautifully
and loved every minute of it.
Go ahead and get your 8 mo. old started.  Just don't jump him over 12
inches at first.  By the end of the class you might be able to do 16 if it's
elbow height or below.  Don't have him go over the full height A-frame for a
while either.  Coming down can be hard.  And make sure he's steady before
trying the dog walk very high.  You don't want him to fall off and hurt
himself.  Hopefully these are safeguards that your trainer will have built
into the beginner class.
