Life With Poodles

Jay has a new title!

If you have followed this blog for a few years, you might remember Jay, a boy from our Georgie and River litter back in 2012.  I kept Jay for a few extra months for training and to decide if I wanted to keep him for myself.  There are several videos of this boy as a puppy up on my YouTube page.  He was lovely in both body and mind.  A family from New Mexico contacted me about a Standard Poodle, and I mentioned that I was considering placing Jay due to the fact that he was related to every single dog I owned.  I couldn’t justify keeping him, even though he was wonderful.  I told them all about this lovely funny boy and before you knew it, they made a trip out to Texas to pick him up.  The rest if history!  He has fit into their home so well and gets to do all sorts of fun things.  Jay is always out hiking and running competitive races with his mom and dad.  He loves to travel and hang out with all sorts of other friendly canines.  His life is amazing and I  know I made the right choice for him.

Anyway… Jay has his own facebook page and posted there about a new adventure he had.  I wanted to share his status update on the blog:

Earned a Title in Lure Coursing ( http://www.akc.org/events/lure-coursing/ , http://newmexico-sighthounds.jigsy.com ) yesterday by completing the course for the third time. Yesterday I completed the second and third runs. I really like chasing just about anything, but deers and rabbits are my favorite.

After my first run I was so excited that when Maria took me over to get some water I broke loose and just had to go chase the lure again. However, it wasn’t my turn. Turns out there is a fine for interrupting another dog’s run. Maria was very embarrassed and had to pay $5 and get lectured. I heard Mark and Maria talking about the situation and they almost left without doing the second run but fortunately we stayed. Movie going up next.”

He has a video of the run on his Facebook page, but sadly unless you are his friend you cannot see the video.  Maybe his mom will post it to YouTube at some point and we can then link it back here.  After completing his three qualifying runs, he now has his Coursing Ability title!  Lure Coursing is such a fun little game to play with these dogs and I am glad Maria, Mark, and Jay have found a fun game to go play.

It makes me happy to see my guys out there having a good time and supporting local dog clubs at the same time.  Events like this will not happen without people entering.  Thank you Maria, Mark, and Jay for getting out there and showing the world what amazing fun dogs Standard Poodles can be!
