Rosie and Leto did not disappoint! They both achieved their Novice titles in Rally Obedience this weekend - Leto edged out Rosie for top marks with all three high in class ribbons! Buzz and Woody showed well - with Woody earning Best Opposite and 6 points to his championship!!

While puppies are cute and adorable and all, some mommas gotta work. Leto & Rosie ditched the babies for a fun weekend of rally obedience. This is Rosie’s first time in any type of obedience competition and Leto’s first live (not virtual covid) obedience completion.

Out and about we are

This week we had some of the cutest visitors!
These pups are the newest recruits at Partner Up Academy! These pups will be assessed and trained as Service dogs for Autism and Psychological support for individuals in the community.
We were happy to help socialize and help make their experience at the vet a happy and stress free visit! We can't wait to see what the future holds for each of these pups in their Service dog journey!

If only the conformation show judges agreed

This is why we're the fat-police here at BRX...

This graphic is from a Purina study, some years ago, that split matched Labrador pups into two groups. One group was fed to keep them at a regular pet weight; the other group was fed in a way that kept them lean - not thin, just lean. The pups were followed from birth until death and the difference was staggering.

The lean-fed dogs didn't just live almost two years longer - they developed joint issues later and they were less severe.

Keep your dogs long on hugs... and a bit short on food.

It’s a family affair to prepare bedtime licky mats for puppies
