Happy Birthday Duke!!!!
 

Happy 3rd Birthday to the best dog I've ever had! He's my training partner, my best friend, and my shadow. I absolutely love this dog!

Happy Birthday handsome Duke!!!

Thanks everyone!

He got to enjoy a good treat last night and today we are going for a nice quiet walk (without the girls) to enjoy his favorite place, the lake. :)

It's hard to believe how much we've achieved in a year! I'm really proud of this guy... even if we may never title!

You will title him!!!!

We're still pushing for the BH... but it keeps getting pushed back. Between the holiday work schedule (50+) hours and everything else going on... unfortunately we haven't been working as hard on training. Now that work has slowed down and we're heading into the slow season, Duke and I are jumping back in full throttle. Hopefully this year will be the year. If not... we keep trying! :D

It's just the nerve issues and the lack of intensity that kills us. He still loves doing it though... so as long as he's still having fun, we'll move forward. Trying to get over these mountains!
