It doesn\u2019t take much to get Aristotle and Wilma excited, but this certainly has. Me, I like to rest and have grown pretty stubborn with old age, but they are still young and the prospect of doing something different always appeal. Anyway, after an American friend said how proud of her dogs she is for gaining their Novice Trick Dog award with Do More with Your Dog, both Aristotle and Wilma have asked if they can enrol on the course. They already do a pretty good double act training together, so it does make sense. All the training is available as on-line demonstrations and then you can upload videos of how well you are doing so that you can be assessed for your different levels of competence. Shadow said you wouldn\u2019t catch her doing something like that, but she\u2019s always been fairly contrary over structured training. She learns everything, she just won\u2019t do it to order and I guess I can see where she\u2019s coming from. Ari will do anything as long as the bribe being offered is good enough and Wilma just loves to please our Mistress, so they will be happy. Why don’t you let us know if any of you decide to sign up too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s very exciting more of our breed are planning to have a go at going in the show ring here. It has been slow for them to get going, but next year there won\u2019t be other breeds in most of our classes and as everyone in the Club are such good friends it will all hopefully be a bit of fun. As a breed we don\u2019t really do politics and are just happy to see our friends doing well. Basil will be kept on his toes with the others competing against him, but he says he\u2019s really looking forward to showing them the ropes and is delighted they will be flying the flag for the breed. I could have done it in my younger day. I was a handsome boy, but I\u2019m a bit on the old side now so I\u2019ll just encourage the others. Go Team Entlebucher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
