“Handsome and happy! He’s tracking/trailing very well (his favorite) getting strong in his odor recognition for cadaver, and doing short refind drills without prompting.
Smart boy, confident, independent and loving. Very strong willed as expected, and it’s fun watching him make decisions – mostly the right ones I am happy to say.  We have a good structure that he (mostly) respects, although he likes to have the last word.
He goes to the elementary school on Fridays where he is a huge hit and loves the kids. He’s a favorite at puppy play sessions as well.
I have finally gotten some weight on him by adding some raw diet to his kibble, which he loves.    He’s a very happy part of our family, and we just love him!”
