Update

At 7 months old, Cooper is now 31-1/2 inches and weighs 102lbs! And he is a big, sweet, cuddly baby.

Dane Rescue

This post doesn't really pertain to Cooper, but involves Danes. We recently became involved with a Dane rescue group that was just formed 2 weeks ago. The rescue will serve Wisconsin, Minnesota, Northern Iowa and the Eastern Dakotas. We have been busy helping with the website and setting things up. In two weeks of being active, we have already placed 3 Danes and have another that is being surrendered on Saturday, we are involved in her transport from Mankato to Siren Wisconsin where she will be fostered.

These dogs deserve happy forever homes! I am so glad to be part of this rescue for this very special breed. If anyone wants to help, we can always use donations, both monetary and items for fostering, as well as more volunteers. Our website is up and working, you can check it out with the link on the left.

Another Graduation

Cooper graduated from level I obedience last night. I was worried because since he turned 6months old, he has been terrible at heeling, which is part of the exam. But thanks to Jennifer (our breeder), who spent some time with us last weekend and worked on heeling, he did great! He actually passed all parts with fling colors receiving many pass+'s! I am so proud of my baby, and myself, since this is my first dog I've done this much training with. Cooper is very food motivated and he managed to do his exam with no treats. I can't believe my baby is 7 months old! Ans very interested in female dogs. There are a few unfixed females in our class that are over 6 months old, and he definitely knows it! Hopefully we can get through the next 5 months without any problems due to him being intact, since we are waiting until he is 12 months to do his neutering.
