Title: Junior Champion of Poland

For the International Sopot Show we had the pleasure of hosting Sweedy's breeder Ruth Lintonsson and her family.

Ruth arrived with Knockando's QMP QUINCY RED (Champion of Sweden) and 9 month old Knockando's WINTHER IN SALINAS.

QUINCY was "Best in Breed" and Salina got "Best Junior".

It was a great day for Knockando's kennel where the three dogs who were entered achieved such great results!

I would like to thank Ruth very much for coming to Poland and of course for my "little" Sweedy.

Below are photos of Salina, Quincy, Salina and Sweedy  

After the great Show effort, here is how "Knockando's SWEDISH ROUSSILLON" is relaxing!

First Aid Course

On the 27/09/2009,  I attended a First Aid Course run by Dog Project and led by Dr. Pawel Łukuć a vetinary surgeon.

It was very interesting  as we had a live patient,  a lovely black and white Collie.

The topics covered were: road accidents, immobilising and proper carrying of injured dogs ,treating injuries, reanimation,bites, shock,diarrhoea,vomiting, choking and posioning. We were also shown how to correctly bandage a dog.

I now feel a lot more confident  that I would be able to give a dog  first aid if needed ( photos in Sweedys gallery).

Kindergarden  for  Puppies

On 19/09/2009 Sweedy started his socialization classes at kindergarden for puppies.

The course lasts six weeks (lessons are on weekends) dogs learn how to play correctly with other dogs and basic commands like sit, stay,lay and the call command.

There are three trainers belonging to the ADTP  and the  AABP.

We use the klicker method with training based on reinforcing by rewarding the dog for commands well done. A lot of attention is devoted to focusing the dogs attention on the owner. I convinced myself of the benefit of this especially in young puppies as they have a limited attention span.

We have a few breaks  as a reward for work well done……then the puppies are allowed to play up and enjoy themselves ( photos in Sweedys gallery)!
