Hello!
I have no idea what breed my cute little dog really is. We rescued him from the humane society, and they told us he was part king cavalier spaniel and part chihuahua. Although from research I have been doing on the internet, I am not quite sold on that description. He is my first attempt at owning a dog, and becoming a dog lover. I have been a cat person all my life. Bolt (my son named him) has won my heart and now I understand the passion people have about their dogs. I absolutely adore him. Please take a good look at the pictures I have posted of him and give me your two cents on what you think his breed is. Thank you! =o)

Agility Training

Well, I haven't posted in a while but we have been busy lately learning some new things. Lance is about 6.5 months old now and a very good puppy. He has even been sleeping out of his crate the last few nights and has come upstairs in the morning to wake us up to go outside to potty.
We decided to start some agility training with all three of the dogs. Logan is very shy and skiddish around new things. I saw on 'It's Me or the Dog' and 'Underdog to Wonderdog' that shyness is usually connected to a lack of confidence in the dog. Both shows have said that agility training can help get the dog's mind busy and help them build their confidence and overcome some of their fear.
So, this weekend my husband and I decided to build our own agility equipment and set it up in our basement. I looked on ebay and other sites for agility equipment but it was out of our current budget. We went to Lowes and bought some pvc pipe and the needed connectors. We build three small jumps in a matter of about an hour. It was really very simple. I will post an article soon detailing our steps for any who wish to try this.
We have used these for 2 days and Logan is already has a different spring in his step. Lacey loves it too! Lance is still a puppy and not too into it yet but we will keep working with him on it. I just purchased a tunnel on ebay this morning as I don't think we can build one of those ourselves :) I can't wait to add that to our course! More to come...stay tuned....
