This “Anna/Zack” litter is by breeder Kendall Mccoy. AAKS obtained these pups under a breeder's contract. Although AAKS was not the breeder and although AAKS did not own the parents of these pups, we placed them under our own contract with our same written guarantee on health, hips and temperament. We felt comfortable placing these pups and extending our guarantee because we do own two adult “Anna/Zack” dogs from this breeder.

02/20/08: Thought I would update you on Pissy Em...this time with some positive things, even tho her peeing has not improved. My mood is directly related to how much I have had to clean up or who is mad cos she peed all over them or their shoes.

 

We are about halfway or more thru basic obedience. She does quite well at heel, sit, lie down, kisses and watch. Her favorite is to "touch" where I hold my hand high in the air and she leaps to touch it. She also did very well with the agility ladder on the floor. Some dogs wouldn't even step over the first rung, but she ran up and down the whole thing. She is still fetching and will hold the ball in her mouth if she needs to get water, pee or whatever, letting me know that she isn't ready to quit yet.

 

I get really tickled of her at the cabin. She will roll her ball to the edge of the deck, watch it drop 50 or so feet, roll down the mountain towards the lake...and then run off the deck and use her nose to track it. She always finds it, even tho no one can see how far it went.

 

I am taking her to Asheville, NC with me this coming weekend. I will be looking at property and staying in a hotel. Hopefully, she will do well with meeting lots of new people and staying in a new place. Keep your fingers crossed for me. There is a dog park 5 minutes from the hotel, so I hope we can run off excess energy. She will be in offices and walking property, so we'll see how it goes. We are working on sit/stay & down/stay..but the "stay" part hasn't kicked in yet. That's too bad for this trip. ~ Anna

 

02/26/08: New Ember pix (link opens as PhotoShow gallery) ... just turned 5 months and close to 50 pounds... ~ Anna

 

03/17/08: Left Ember loose in the house today for about 1 1/2 hours....(I was gone)...no pee, nothing destroyed!!! She has been in the bedroom at night for the past week with no problems....am I smiling???? YES!!!! Maybe 6 mos is the charm. She will still crawl under the bed and behind the sofa, but is much more willing to come forth for affection and seek attention. The only "negative" is that she now won't return the ball when I throw it...she wants to play the keep away game....and jump on people. We will work on the jumping...she is too big to do that. Even the people she “put off” by peeing are happy and doing well with her now that it is almost gone. Sandy & Xalina (trainers) said they thought it might be an age thing ( after she got over the fear peeing...) ~ Anna
