I did some training with the pups today and took some video.  My little bloggie video recorder seems to be on its last leg.  The audio is really messed up and for that I apologize.   I’m going to take another video in a few days, but because this was the very first training I wanted to show how they did.

I had to cut some extra video from Klein and Gucci because I was trying to keep them each about 4 minutes long.  Cole was fairly challenging, as his focus wasn’t as keen as the two silvers.  Guess was a cutie, fairly focused for a baby and easier to train than the previous three.  Armani was by far the gentlest and at the same time he was easy to train.  He is soooo laid back.  I can’t imagine he will develop a lot of hunt / prey drive with his attitude on life.  None of these pups are dominant or pushy.  They are all like their parents, wonderful Std Poodles who will work for most homes.

KLEIN – male –  Sorry for the screaming pups in the background.  The kids were playing in the backyard and were NOT playing with the pups who were angry about that fact.  🙂

Klein would do best with an experienced dog owner.  This boy is super smart and smart dogs are not easy.  At the same time, this boy has the potential to be AMAZING and would make a great sport dog.  Whoever adopts Klein will probably have a heart dog, if he is a good fit for their personality.  He is just one of those dogs who will make memories.  He is suitable for just about anything in the right hands.  He has some truly amazing focus for such a young dog.  You can channel him to be lazy or high drive, depending on what you need and train.  This puppy will be puddy in someone’s hands.  He is smart as a whip and loves people, so work well as a therapy dog or even a service dog.

GUCCI – male

Gucci is happy, sweet, not dominant, but also pretty driven like his silver brother.  I’d like him to go to someone wanting to do performance, but if he has an active owner who like to jog he would be suitable as a pet.  He has great potential for sports and would probably do well hunting.  He is calm enough for therapy or to work as a service dog.  He is very stable and sweet.

ARMANI – male

Armani is a sweet soul.  Easy to train, easy to live with.  This boy will be cake to have in any home and will be an AMAZING therapy dog.  He will be suitable for performance sports for someone who is new and needing a steady dog to learn with.   He is NOT suitable for hunting.

COLE – Male

Cole has a nice mix and even though he was a little distracted during this test, he was willing to learn and will make a great performance dog.  He is steady and less driven as his silver brothers.  He also sticks much closer to home than the other two, who tend to wander farther afield.  He will do great in therapy and performance sports and due to his prey drive he would work well for hunting.

GUESS – Female

This little lady is a hoot.  She is lovely in body and mind.  She is a social butterfly and that will be her challenge for training, because you know she will want to go visit!  She will make an amazing therapy dog and performance prospect.   Her prey drive is pretty low right now and I would not place her in a hunting home.
