Puppy Fun Match

We all had our first showing experience at a Puppy Fun Match in Orangevale, California today. Romeo took Best of Breed Puppy and Giulietta took Best of Opposite Sex Puppy, which was all they could compete for being rare breeds (non-AKC recognized). The ground was quite moist from the rain, so we sloshed around a little bit, but we had a great time despite that! We met a lot of people, all wanting to know "what breed of dog is that?"

Obedience Training

Romeo and Giulietta began their obedience training today. We enrolled them in private lessons at Alert K9 Training Center in Brentwood. Their trainer, Ryan Tulchinsky, was very impressed with their temperaments and was glad to see how food-motivated they both are!

Romeo arrives

Romeo arrived at San Francisco International Airport in California today, from Milan International Airport in Italy. We could hear him even before we could see him...he was screaming and biting at the bars on the kennel door! However, as soon as we opened the door, Romeo was happy and stopped all the fussing. He was so angry because he HATED being in his own mess, but he cleaned up just fine and was as sweet as could be from then on...what a relief! Here is a photo of him all cleaned up:
