I got a new puppy yesterday. With COVID turning the world upside down, it was quite a Dicey Proposition getting him here and now that is his name – Dicey Proposition of Sprite-Wildrose – call name Dice.
Here’s a video of his first training session, done via FB live:
Huge thank you to his breeder, Dawn Kundert of WIldrose, for raising such an exceptional puppy!
I don’t have much draw back to the AKC obedience ring, but I’m very much hoping that he grows up with the right temperament for Mondio Ringsport (which is like French Ring but different). I did Raika’s MondioRing 1 title and loved every minute of the training. Unfortunately we started when she was too old to continue and even if we had started earlier I wouldn’t say she had quite the right temperament for it. Let’s see about this little one.
I love this puppy to pieces. I hope you enjoy following along!
What a great puppy! I am very excited to see some Mondio training!
How old is your new puppy? Mine is 9 weeks and has a Jan.28 birthday. Just curious how much I might expect from my boy.
8 weeks
Very very happy for you, Denise. And, methinks a Sprite-Wildrose puppy may just bode well for future fluffies too!
Oh cool! I would love to get into Mondio but there isn’t any clubs or events around Missouri. Will love to see the training that you do with Dice!
But start by understanding that there is nothing wrong – there is no problem. There is only a puppy, and training to be done. What happens now is up to you. Denise Fenzi has titled dogs in obedience (AKC and UKC), tracking (AKC and schutzhund), schutzhund (USA), mondioring (MRSA), herding (AKC), conformation (AKC), and agility (AKC). She has two AKC obedience champions, perfect scores in both schutzhund and Mondio ringsport obedience, and is well known for her flashy and precise obedience work.
