Whelped May 31, 2009- White, Black, and Tan Ticked- FDSB Pending

AboutJuly 26th, First evening home.

We picked our new eight week old boy up on July 26th from PDX, where he flew in to from Minnesota. After an hour of playtime at a family member's house in Portland, Remi rode in his crate the three hours home without so much as a whimper. He met about nine people his first day and was very confident and friendly with every encounter. Once home, he continued to take everything in stride, exploring and getting familiar with the other dogs. It seems that Remi really likes the water and has gotten into the wading pool and investigated every sprinkler and hose that we've gotten out. And what a bold little pup he is! Heights didn't scare him and he quickly found ways to navigate obstacles.

Hunting and Training
Remi was started on birds when he was about twelve weeks old and was a natural, of course! Within the course of two days' brief sessions, he was finding birds, pointing on scent, introduced to a blank gun while chasing and playing with a bird, and made his first puppy retrieve with a live bird to hand. Since then we've done a few more light sessions of working on planted quail and multiple outtings to fields to just explore and work on basics like recall, heel, and simple whoas. He is excellent about making sure he knows where the handler is at, and although pretty close ranged as a pup, more time/experience in the field will give him confidence to get out there (we're already seeing this). He's very easy to handle when we take him out. Rem has a nice 11 o'clock tail on most points, strong prey drive, and an excellent nose that he uses well.

Plans for 2010 include more obedience, field time, working on birds, and his first real hunting season. We haven't decided whether or not to send him to a trainer or to dedicate our own time to him.... The latter had been the original plan, but I'd like to see his potential done full justice, in Four months old pointing quail.addition to keeping the doors open for some kind of judging/competition.

Personality
Remi is still a puppy, so we expect he'll mature quite a bit with age. He is beginning to mellow out. As a youngster, he was determined, super playful, confident, friendly, and we'll admit, a bit of a brute! He had his clumsy moments, too. Somehow mixed into that, he was a bit lazy... but he's becoming more active/athletic now. What was nice was that he was easily crate trained and never complained when he had to take breaks/naps in the carrier. He was also a great traveller from the beginning. He was always eager to play with Sophie's litter, which was always too tiny for him, being bigger and rougher, as he also was eager also to play with the big dogs, none of whom wanted a new buddy. At around five months old, though, Morgan took him under her wing and now they are best friends, wrestling and keeping watch over the property together. Today, Remi is all those traits described, but also more sensible with slightly improved manners! He's a smart boy and easy to teach. He loves the water, has his proud moments, and is not overly sensitive. In the evenings, he enjoys hanging out in the shop with my dad (Rick), where he's easy going and a good bud to sit around with. While he's not as gentle and graceful as our other dogs (think bull in a china shop), he's never shown any aggressiveness to any person or dog... and he's just a pup! He is ready to make friends with anyone! Basically,Remi is like a big cuddly teddy bear that is ready to play after he gets a few loves Febr. 2010from us.

Conformation
Remi is finally growing into that baby weight he put on, regardless of the diets we tried! He always had huge legs and paws, and was just a big boy. At only nine months old now, he is a little taller than Jake and weighs more due to his huskier, thicker build. We expect him to gain a little more height, but like his brother Agate, he has a longer back and is built like a tank- that is, sturdy. All of his legs are straight, and he's got a nice tailset. His head has good overall shape and appears handsome. He's got a good bite. Of course, he's got Royal's eyes, which are very expressive and pretty. His coat is amazing; it's fairly long and has a wirey, yet extraordinarily soft and thick texture. We're looking forward to seeing him all grown up!
