Playing Inside Cold Outside

The pups are so having fun. They now play in many rooms. They have played outside. They have experienced snow. We do a lot of positive conditioning with them.

They do go through fear periods a couple of times in their lives but they are minimized here due to all the positive conditioning that we do. We take this serious as a good headstart helps them to be all they are meant to be.

Here is today's gallery.

Today they were all combed out. I placed up a private video on removing knots. It was a fast video as I need Nathan as the camera guy and he just fades if too long. I will do another when I find time but this will be a start. If interested, send me mail and I will send you a link. It's not meant to be shared with everyone. It's not a professional video. It's 5 minutes of help and I am sure I missed a lot.

Puppy videos coming soon.

I am definitely interested in any and all grooming tips

I would love to watch the "how to get knots out' grooming tips video please."
I was also wondering about how much of the colouring changes from pups to adults. for example, how dark was Spirit compared to Cinnamon when they were pups? Were they as dark as the apricot puppies? Will the dark sables lighten a lot up or does it always just depend on the individual dog? Just wondering...
thanks!

I will send you a link in the morn. Am in bed now. Spirit was lighter when a pup and is now darker. Leti was a pale apricot and went to a golden. Leti is Spirit's mom. Spirit is darker than her mom. Cinnamon remained the same from pup to adult.
