Our newest star, CeCe, has begun training. Right now she has started the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program. She is doing very well. Besides being one of the prettiest pups in class, she is catching on fast! :-) I had already started her on "stand" and "wait" (training for the show ring) but now she is working on "sit" "down" and "me" (getting her attention and keeping it!!! - very important!) Great class so far, it is offered by the AK K9 Center in North Pole. Anyone with a puppy should look into it. Its a great start to building a good foundation, so that you and your dog can communicate, and live more in harmony, with less stress caused by a dog that doesn't listen to you or doesn't respect you. Even just for the socialization opportunities (new people and dogs) it is worth the $100 for 6 classes. Being able to work with your dog under various distractions, and keeping your dogs attention on YOU is just amazing.
So, CeCe really is a STAR now, with her STAR puppy class, and soon to be, in the show ring! I'm enjoying her so much! If you're reading this, wishing you had an Akita puppy to call your own, just visit my website, as we have a few litters coming up in the next few months.

Is Ce Ce for sale?
ReplyDeleteNO, CeCe is not for sale, she will be our foundation bitch for the years to come. I have a FANTASTIC male for her when she is 2 years old and has completed her OFA hips certification and CERF eyes clearance.
