Merry Christmas Everyone,

I hope that the turkey and doggy treats were good. Here is a lovely picture of Cooper and her owner Monique. It has been fabulous to watch all the pups grow up this year. Best wishes for 2010 from us at Sweetspot Dalmatians.

Henry Update

This is a note from Juliane Foley about Henry.

"Henry is still a wonderful wonderful dog and still thinks he is a kid. My 4 year old daughter is head over heals in love with him. Nothing makes her happier than Henry. She gives him so much love and he her - it is very nice. My 6 year old son Owen plays fetch and tug-a-war with him and also likes to play chase with him. Not as much petting and loving as Amelia gives him but he definitely enjoys him. We are in basic manners training with him now - although I'm not sure he needs that class. He is super smart. The other day I watched him climb up the kids climbing wall on their jungle gym outside. This really is an incredible thing as he has to hook his paws to pull himself up. it looks strange and human like. I want to discourage him from it because I'm afraid he will hook a leg and then slip. When he gets up there he dances around with the kids then goes down the slide."

CGC stands for Cainine Good Citizen and Miley has had to pass a test administered by the American Kennel Club evaluator.

**The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program, established in 1989, is an American Kennel Clubprogram to promote responsible dog ownership and to encourage the training of well-mannered dogs. A dog and handler team must take a short behavioral evaluation of less than half an hour; dogs who pass the evaluation earn the Canine Good Citizen certificate, which many people represent after the dog's name, abbreviating it as CGC; for example, "Fido, CGC".

The evaluation consists of ten objectives. All items must be completed satisfactorily or the team fails. Test items include:

• Accepting a friendly stranger.
• Sitting politely for petting.
• Allowing basic grooming procedures.
• Walking on a loose lead.
• Walking through a crowd.
• Sitting and lying down on command and staying in place.
• Coming when called.
• Reacting appropriately to another dog.
• Reacting appropriately to distractions.
• Calmly enduring supervised separation from the owner.

Henry

Here is Sir Henry, who is enjoying the comfort of the throne made of his human, Julia Foley. All he needs now is Handel's Water Music!

Cooper

This is Cooper sometime in June. She is really enjoying the farm, and she loves to roll over her ball when she plays fetch.

This photo is of Ari who graduated the top dog in his puppy class.

Ari received a $50 gift certificate for his first place in his obedience class. I expect that he is now doing well in his Advanced Obedience Class now.

Malori his 'mom' says "I can't believe how smart he is already!"

Congratulations Ari

Liza at Four Months

Welcome to Sweetspot's new Blog. We have got this new Blog because Yahoo 360 changed it's format and I could not upload photos anymore.

The photo is of Sweetspot's Over the Rainbow, "Liza" at Four months. The photo was taken on July 12 and I asked that my birthday present was to get a picture of Liza. As you can see she is growing up well.
