She's a Hoot



Hoot

Well here she is, my new little girl, Hoot!

Why does she have her own blog? Well I have a feeling that there will be a lot to share and she might take me in some different directions that aren't agility. Herding?  Also, I want to keep my other blog on topic and this little girl won't be ready for that any time soon.

This is who she is at the moment.  All my dogs have changed through the years, eventually they have traits that stick, but they are never the same dog they were last year. That would be boring right?
So, this is Hoot as I know her today.


She loves being with people, smart, learns fast.  She loves to play tug on my hair, shoe laces, shoes, socks and then dog toys if none of those are available. She is a pro at 'killing' paper towels.  She loves to chase and already has the need to get out ahead of me.  She watches everyone intensely when they are working.

 In 24 hours she has softened all the dogs in her pack. Everyone certainly tolerates her well and Tip stays close so that she can play with and steal Hoot's toys.

I have started to prime her to love the clicker.  So far she comes to her name (I know that will change), and is a natural fetcher. I did NOTHING to train that skill.
