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

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)!
