As you can see, she is not being spoiled at all. It was so nice to see you yesterday and to meet the crew. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. We loved to meet more of the Thornapple dogs, too. |

Leilani is already chasing rollers (frisbees) and bringing them back and recalling really well. And she's gotten FAST! She is growing beautifully by the way - and she eats like a horse! She is very much a dog-dog, preferring Lilli over all others. I've attached some irresistible pictures of the girls we took last night. Andrea Rigler Leilani is sired by Ch Thornapple Red Hot Outlaw. Her dam is Ch Thornapple Island Kiss.

Thornapple Kiss Me Nell (many many agility titles!) * loved and handled by Jenny Addie April 6th This is a photo taken of Nell at a trial a week ago. I am waiting on some incredible new photos of her to come in. She had a great Thornapple party weekend. There were only two dogs that Qualified in Excellent Fast. The weather was terrible and blowing a gale and the course was extremely difficult. Nell placed First with a score of 72 points with a course time of 32 seconds.Jenny and Nell |

Finn is still doing great! He's discovered many new things...he likes chasing lazer pointers, he likes water (he had a bath today and was romping around in the tub), his crate is a nice place to go, etc. He's really doing wonderfully!

He's learning how to get our attention if he needs to go out. He's learned his first command...sit...and doesn't hesitate when we ask him to. He's learning shake right now. We've gone out on some short walks and he's learning to not try to walk under my feet! :) ~Danielle Breisach Thank you for sharing Danielle!

I'm so sorry I didn't send you an update sooner. It was on my list of things to do, but the little booger has been keeping me busy.You were wrong when you told me he was an amazing boy...he's an AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING boy. The long trip up there and back was well worth it!!! Don't let the attached pictures fool you. He's a real bundle of Aussie energy and when he kicks it in high gear he's as fast as lightening.

You should have seen the stunned look on my nephews face when he blew right past him. Sad thing Mike is 16, almost 6 feet tall, plays soccer and is on the HS track team. He never expected a 12 week pup to be so fast. He's name is Thornapple Take A Chance "CHANCE".I'm in total disbelief on how smart this guy is. It's UNBELIEEEEEEEEEEEEVABLE!!! He's starting puppy class on April 30th, but I've already been working with him. Chance's vocabulary is increasing by the day. Sit, wait, down, leave it, do your stuff, lets go, give, bring it, out, settle and not to mention NO MOUTH and of course NOOOO.

He's even gone to the door a few times to let me know when he has to go out to do his stuff. He is like a sponge. You only have to show him something a few times and he's got it already. UNBELIEEEEEEEEEEEEVABLE!!!I'm totally floored by how smart he is. Chance is differently going to be a challenge, but I wouldn't want it any other way. One minute he can be a handful and the next he goes and does something totally AMAZING. It blows me away. With some good training and lots and lots of TLC this young pup is going to be one outstanding Aussie. I have a feeling Chance is going to be doing many great things in his lifetime. He's backyard my be his play pen, but the WORLD is going to be his playground. Look forward to keeping you up to date on Chance's progress and adventures.Thanks for bringing this AMAZING boy into my life. He's certainly added a much needed spark.One more thing...he no longer considers my sofa a spring board :) Take care. Sandy |
