She's maturing lovely. Looks like she loves the flirt as does your son. Do you have APBT shows near where you are Zoe?

She LOVES the flirt pole almost to the point of obsession! lol We do actually have two different ADBA clubs in my area and frequent shows in the spring, but due to my daughters health issues as she has Cystic Fibrosis, and her immune system is really fragile... well.. after getting sick from some of our foster pups that had kennel cough and having to go into hospital, we decided to retire from fostering and not to show Scarling.  The kids were VERY disappointed as they really wanted to do the junior handling as well as agility with her. Everytime a person with CF gets a lung infection, it does permanent damage and just makes them progressively weaker so instead, we decided, once she matures, we are going to build our own agility equipment and do some carting with her, etc.. Sort of do all the stuff we wanted to, but without exposing her to alot of other dogs where she might pick something up and pass it on to my daughter as Raven just seems more seceptable to picking up bacterial infections from animals. It does seem like a bit of a waste as I know she would do so well in conformation. We are going to get her fully health tested though as she does have her pedigree up online so I guess that's our small part for the breed. lol Not many ADBA dogs are fully health tested so at least when researching her line, she'll be in there with her health test status! lol |
