First snow!! Well, not the exact first, since it was snowing when he was born. But definitely the first snow he could run around in. And eat. We're now just 1 day away from his vet appointment, and finally finding out what his exact weight is! He's now mastered the inside stairs, both up and down. He's making good progress on the "wait" command, and also leash manners. He's found his bark, and it's a big bark for a currently smallish dog! He's just inches away from being able to pull himself up onto couches. He eats more food in a day than the other 2 eat in a week. :-) A puppy growth calculator online claims he's going to reach 105lbs when full grown. That's 25lbs larger than his father and 40lbs larger than his mother, so we'll see if that actually happens or not. One of our next goals it to get his registration done with AKC and possibly also UKC (they have more recognized sporting titles to earn than AKC). We've started a list of various activities we may want to participate in with him in the future. So far we have:
-Rally Obedience
-Sheep Herding
-Schutzhund
-Agility
-Conformation (Dog Shows)
-Search & Rescue
-Dock Diving
We're not 100% on any of them yet, we're just going to try some beginner classes and aptitude tests here and there and see what we all like and might want to continue in.
