HAPPY BIRTHDAY Gorgeous George

What a fine young chap your growing in to 🐾

Lovely start to the morning over

It’s great both dogs get that time every week to have complete and utter freedom for unlimited zoomies and its a safe way to work on off lead recall.

Rose’s high jumping genetics are really starting to kick in, being confident first time in hopping up onto both 4’ and 5’ narrow tractor tires.

Last weeks pupdate.

Nicer weather on the way means the pups have been out meeting the locals and having plenty of adventures.

We have lamas and alpacas 🦙 ducks 🦆 geese 🪿 goats 🐐 swans 🦢 sheep 🐑 Horses 🐎 chickens 🐓 and even a couple of emus all around us.

Good for the dogs to learn to respect the local wildlife and livestock.

Had a great morning with both pups round

Lucky to have these guys as our neighbours just 2 minutes up the village.

Both dogs loved the chance to have complete freedom, giving us a chance to progress with their recall training, while both off the leads together.

And both took to the agility obstacles with a lot of first time confidence.

After just 40 minutes, both digs were ruined for the rest of the day.

Evergreen secure dog field is a huge area suitable for the biggest of dogs and large enough for the fastest greyhound to get a good sprint in, with toys, a separate agility area, large summerhouse, water and poo bag stations and bins, fresh water stations.

What a really well thought out and brilliant use of the space.

Thanks again guys, can’t wait until next week.

We can’t do too much with the dogs while they are young, we want them to grow naturally and not do anything to risk that development into adulthood.

So apart from daily hikes, plenty of playing and a bit of light tug of war, there isn’t that much we can do.

But running a physical training centre full time and living on a building site means there’s other things we can work on.

Building trust, confidence, and starting to work all the small stabilising muscles that will support the natural muscle growth as they mature has been a bit of fun for the pups.

George taking to it much better, even progressing to a plank, Rose is too much of a fidget! lol

The very first breed standard for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier came about in 1935 in England.

This was based on the ideal examples of the legendary fighting dogs of England and Ireland and called for a more taller, athletic and powerful dog than we see in today’s show ring Stafford’s.

The height at the shoulders was around 18” compared to today’s minimum height of 13”

George currently stands at 18.5” at the shoulders and Rose is 17.7” at the shoulders, hopefully both lots of genetics will provide a litter of “Original” Old Skool Staffords sometime in the future.

Few recent training clips, from nice lead walking, to off lead walking and a little taste of freedom for both dogs as well 🐾

Coming up 9 and 10 months old, all we’ve done with these guys so far is plenty of walkies and play time at home, and a good diet.

They already look in incredible condition and you can see they are shaping up nicely, I love the tall, leggy build of both and I can’t wait to see how they look over the coming months.
