is different. 😢❤️ We still see her, or think we do every now and then. The group is different with out her. She was the glue keeping them together. Now Becca does her thing (like sleeping downstairs) and the Chesapeake sleeps upstairs by choice. Hagel is, like we expected, taking her place. But being 14 months old, getting a baby-sister, being in charge of Becca in heat/season is a lot to shoulder. Of course she came in heat/season as well yesterday- so she’s a bit occupied with life at the moment. Becca injury is healing fine though it’s warm, humid and flies everywhere. But the honey mixture we use on her stitches is super. (She managed to attach herself to her own BGB fastener and made a 4 cm long hole on herself while walking in the leash. Probably not possible for anybody but Becca 🙈😅🤪) Hylsa is a quick student. I planned to do tutorial film clips with her, but she catches on faster than I manage to film 😝 Like with temptation I showed her the treats in my hands once, closed them when she chose them and reward her from my mouth when she made eye contact. And the she didn’t make any serious attempts for the hands anymore. Today we tried the ‘up’ command and up into standing. So now she jumps into heel too 😅. We tried sit, stay, laying down the retrie object, send and deliver. The only part she is not sure of is when she is allowed to start after the sending command. So I could focus on rewarding the start, not the lifting or the delivery. And still some say that Chesapeake’s are stubborn and difficult to train?! Difficult yes, because every single little thing you do will be remembered. So choose wisely... Puppy training lifting objects! First a short clip of what I want to achieve when the command works. Then two of how I start training to get there.

I’ve got several questions about why I am at shows but not showing/entering any dogs. That’s quite easy to explain:
One is not allowed to both judge and show a dog owned by a judge at the same show. And as most shows in Sweden are split shows, one show split over two days, and Martin is working on almost every show this summer - we cannot enter any dogs. At the moment in this extreme heat I’m not really sorry about that 😅😜 #dogshows #judging #becomingashowjudge It’s now confirmed that Iza has two diagnosis in her loin, a juvenile forarminal stenosis and a tethered cord syndrome. The latter one is extremely rare and the first one usually appear in older dogs, but this is a juvenile one.
That they could not be seen until this winter has to do with that she had to be fully grown for it to become a problem. If it had been just one of the diagnosis a surgery could have been possible, but a too small channel combined with an attached nerve in the same area out rule that possibility... She is still here with us eating three different painkillers and not allowed to do anything but cuddle and stay in the house and garden. Only Iza’s behaviour will be our guidance for how long she will be around. #epagneulbreton #brittanyspaniel #aonceinalifetimelove #thesweetestlove #tetheredcordsyndrome Please feel free to ask questions! This is not an inheritable illness, most likely it’s due to a virus infection during the pregnancy and could not have been foreseen or diagnosed earlier. The tethered cord syndrome is extremely rare, we are talking about just a handful diagnosed dogs in the world from what we have understood. We found this information about the illness online from what the scientists and doctors had found this far. ”Since tethered cord syndrome is a physiological disorder and develops only when it is abnormally stretched, it cannot be connected to genetic factors, unless the congenital susceptibility of spinal cord to oxidative metabolic impairment is proven” and since both Iza, her siblings and parents are extremely healthy in every other way and don’t suffer from either chronic fatigue or lack of energy, it can not be anything inherent. The diagnosis is so rare that there is no Swedish name. It also occurs in humans but is classified as extremly rare disease. The name is a collective diagnosis of congenital malformations on the back of the vertebra where the spinal cord's nerve threads end up in a wrong position. In this case, it is located in one of the joint in the lumbar on the right side, where a nerve thread has attached itself to the skeleton instead of hanging freely. In a calm and quiet dog, you will probably not be able to notice this until it has progressed over years. I noticed the tendency as she landed (after jumping a fence) and placed her right hind leg twice at times or when rising from laying down in obedience to standing, she placed her right hind leg a bit further to the right. From then on, it has slowly, slowly progressed even though she’s rested and been in inflammatory and painkillers since February. It has still become worse... #epagneulbreton #brittanyspaniel #aonceinalifetimelove #thesweetestlove #tetheredcordsyndrome Diagnosen är så ovanlig så det finns inget svenskt namn. Den förekommer även på människa men klassas som extremly rare disease. Det är en samlings diagnos för medfödda missbildningar på ryggradens insida där ryggmärgens nervtrådar hamnar i ett fel läge. I detta fall ör det en kombinerad förträngning i en kota i länden på höger sida där en nervtråd vuxit fast vid skelettet istället för att hänga fritt. På en lugn och stillsam hund skulle nog få märka något. Jag märkte tendensen då hon landade efter hopp och placerade om höger bak ibland eller på att hon från ligg till stå placerade höger bak något längre åt höger än vad hon gjorde med den vänstra tassen. Från det har hon sakta, sakta trotts vila och behandling sedan februari blivit sämre. A few days ago I saw someone mentioning that the were working on the speed in the delivery - something I’ve totally forgotten. So we’ve been working on that part lately. And it obviously had positive effect. Search for tennis balls has never been on our schedule, so I was quite surprised when she came in with one! And I thought why not use it for a search! I guess my command must have sounded like: please please go and eat raspberries, because that’s what she did and somewhere among there lies a tennis ball 🎾 #retrieversgram #retrievertraining #gundog #gundogtraining #chesapeakebayretriever Sometimes one has to go back to the most simple of basics, to make sure the commands are settled, before you push forward. Boring said Hagel, necessary said the human, but probably useful before we take another step. #chesapeakebayretriever #retrieving #retrieversgram #retrievertraining #basics #steppingbacktomoveforward
Sweet little Ebba Cockburn’s Pokemon Heart Gold is here for a haircut, but I couldn’t resist to see if she remembered what we worked on last time she visited #americancocker #americancockerspaniel #cockerspaniel #cocker |
