From a puppy to a Junior

Our life together started in February 2013. Now its the end of March 2014 and i wanna make a quick look back to our first AMAZING year we've had together.

Obviously Nera has grown up physically a lot during the first year. Developing to a full sized and balanced adult is still totally in process but the changes are already to be seen.

Nera at the age of 4 months / 15 months.

Nera 6 weeks old.

 Nera 15 months.

Our main goals have been in agility ..

We've been practicing now for 9 months. First in PinAgi (two months once in a week) and continued in HSKH (1,5 hours every second week). Next summer we are increasing the number of practices to 1-2 times a week (practicing in both PinAgi and HSKH at the same time.)

.. and in the dogshows. 

So far Nera has received the titles of Helsinki Junior Winner 2013 and Latvian Junior Winner 2014. We've got 3x HP's and 2x BOS-puppy and one resCAC rosette from Finland. Two JCACs and one BOS rosette from Latvia.

Nera has entried total of 12 official shows. 4x in Puppy Class and 8x in Junior Class (4x in Finland, 2x in Estonia and 2x in Latvia.) We've also taken part of more than 5 unofficial dogshows all around the southern parts of Finland.

BUT we've also done a lot of many other things like..


swimming

obedience training,

canicross

running free and coming back

playing with other dogs.

and a number of different tasks for building a better balance and coordination for the dog.
Of course we've taught her also all the basic dog tasks like sit, down, high five etc.

NOT TO FORGET all the fooling around

AND relaxing in the sun. (The thing German Pinschers know the best.)
