Shocked, But Proud!

GSDMan · 06-27-2011, 10:19 PM

Okay, this isn’t a question so much as a proud Pappa talking up his puppers. I couldn’t decide where to put it and figured this was as good a place as any so here goes.

The wife and I bought Jasper and Asia a new house in January and, as soon as it started getting warm, we knew we had a problem with the Boxer and Lab Mix next door. They run the fence barking their darned fool heads off. I know there’re LOTS of threads on the topic but it never was an issue for us so I never read them; guess I will now, huh?

Anyhow, I got home from work and let the mongrels out and, sure enough, they made a bee-line straight for the fence. Wooo-woo-woooooo! So I went over toward the fence, not really expecting much response from Jaz and his evil little sister. To my surprise, Asia came on the first call and did a Down/Stay like she was doing her CGC test all over again. I called Jasper and he came on the first call, too. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth I put him in a Down/Stay, too, and walked away to the center of the yard. I turned around and my two perfect puppers were still in their Down/Stays with the two idiot dogs barking 20’ behind them! And 100% attention on me, too! I’m still amazed and a VERY proud Pappa tonight. I know tomorrow we’ll probably be back to Doofus and Doofette but now I have tonight’s performance to remember.

I just had to share.

Awwwww, that is so great! I hope they got lots of treats and lovin' after that!

Wow! I have a fence-running-barking-fool too. A couple of boxers next door. Panzer has about 10% recall at that time, so I guess I need to read those threads too.

Nice job with yours!!
