Sunken

[mosman]

Here's a few pics of Sunken. Hailing fron Sweden down from dutch and swedish lines. He just turned six months. Extreme prey drive, extremely energetic. Not many calm moments with this one. Quite a little badass. Pics are from different occations during the last couple of weeks.









He's about 25 lbs at the moment at 14 in.

Thanks mate!

We've been doing a bit of a-frame regurarly since he was abt 12 weeks. But we're taking it easy making sure it's fun and minding his joints. I think hell be great at it when he matures.

About size I really don't know. His sire is abt 13 inches and 27-28 lbs. Both of sires parents was about the same size.

His mother is abt 16.5 inches 33-35 lbs. Her mother about the same. But her father was a large dog, I think he was atleast 50 pounds and 18 inches, maybe more. And since it's an outcross the dogs tend to be a bit larger than linebred dogs, in my experience atleast.

But if I should guess I think he'll be about 15-16 inches and about 33 pounds in good condition.

Thank you!
Really hope he'll turn out the way I want him to. Seems promising this far. Only thing that bothers me right now is that he's quite east-westy in the front, but that might grow away.

Never did any a-frame and took the time or counted overs. We usually use the large agility-type a-frame which you see in the first picture, and it's like 6 feet high, maybe a bit more. We use it just to work out a bit and to have fun. Later on, when he's grown a bit more, we'll try the "standard" a-frame for real. Aiming for 50
But that'll have to wait until he's a bit older. Right now we're taking it easy, got to be careful with the joints while he's still growing. But I promise to give you the result once we start doing a-frame "for real".

Thanks! No hurricane leash on the picture. Just some random pet store thing. But I usually use both hurricane leash and collar. Best dog gear there is, no doubt.
