Noticed Broc walking out of the house with my dumbbell in his mouth. He just wanted to play keep away. 11 months old and this strong, Dang.

It’s easy to find a ball on flat ground at the park. Upping the ante to keep it challenging for Broc. Here he has to use his nose to find the ball uphill, downhill or in brush.

Broc comes up with new ways to keep our walks together fun and interesting. But, on the way back training begins; whistle drills and learning to heel.
April 25, 2018
Out walking and Broc caught the turtle’s scent. He sniffed forward and back till he met face to face with the turtle. Guess he thought it was a rock till the turtle moved.
April 08, 2018
Snake skin shed: Broc was cautious sniffing this skin. Down the path the hairs on back of his neck stood as he looked onto the tall grass. Kept him near me and called it a day.

We started off close then moved a little further out. Had to end in a good note so I threw it close for Broc.

Broc has pointed briefly before. But, today he held it long enough for me to fumble my phone out of my pocket and get a pic.
March 15, 2018

Broc just sniffs into these sewer grates, walks over them and sits on them with no problem. My other two dogs fear them like they’ll fall into the center of the earth. This is a very proud moment for me.

Broc increasing his confidence and problem solving while having fun playing.

Puppies tend to sleep a lot. All they do is eat, play, sleep and potty in between.

Just got home and gave him a Kong to play with. Figured Broc needed something positive the first few minutes in his new home.

Met the breeder half way. “Broc” is stretching his legs out.
