KDT German Shorthaired Pointers

....a little Desi update...

He is truly best dog that’s ever happened to either of us. He’s quite a love bug.

A few weeks ago we started a beginning agility and rally obedience class with Desi. It’s something fun for us to do in the winter. Desi is a natural. He and Derrick are a great team at the agility while with me he’s a star at the rally obedience. ;o) Desi is truly enjoying the experience. At the end of each class the trainer sets up a course and each dog and owner team is able to run the course with no one else on the field. When he’s finished his course he gets what the trainer calls the “zoomies” and what we call his “happy dog dance” and he just runs and bounds around the room like a goof ball. The trainer says while it’s not encouraged during competition it’s fun to watch since it means they are really enjoying themselves!

Oh, in Dec. he also mastered fetching a Frisbee. We had to find a new fetch toy as we were losing scads of tennis balls in the snow! - Carolyn

UKC CH KDT's First Spark Of Light

Hi Rebecca! It's almost unbelievable that your puppies are turning 1 this week! Sorry we haven't been in touch for a while, but we were very busy. We have moved to a great house with a bigger yard for Dante (Tank). Vlad was quite busy at work so it took us some time to get settled in the new house, unpack and get organized again. Dante had no trouble adjusting to the new environment. He loves the yard, where there is lots of room to run, bushes to go through and some squirrels and chipmunks to chase out of his "territory". We are also taking him for obedience classes every Saturday. He is doing great in school but at home he still thinks he's the boss :) !! He is very excited when we come or leave the house. He jumps and tries to take our jackets off. He also loves to check and eat everything that is on the kitchen counter. He also "steals" our socks/slippers and loves to tear a box of kleenex whenever he has the chance to do so. Every weekend we take Dante on a trail (5km), where he loves to run around and explore. Take care. We hope you enjoy these pictures of Dante. - Vlad, Renata and Diana
