Training and Clinics

Hi all,

Just a note to say I will be away from the farm and, yes, from my dogs till December. I will miss them greatly. Ron will be taking care of farm and the dogs while I am gone. I am training pups for another movie. Will be traveling back to and forth on breaks to see them.

For those who have been having lessons I will be happy to carry on after this as I do train year round.For those who were hoping to get their dogs in for training this fall, winter is still open and we can schedule for then, or, of course in the spring. I will have my laptop with me so can still do emails. Pups will still be happening in the spring and perhaps one litter this winter depending on a few things. Boarding dogs at Keen-Eye Kennels is still happening as Ron will be taking care of that end.

For those hoping to get in a clinic this fall, I am sorry but will have to postpone it till the spring.

I have a couple pups that I held back from the last litter who are now available as I won't have the time they need this fall.. One, Scout, is on hold for a month but Rocky is availalbe now. See pups for sale page for more info on him and contact me at keeneye@telus.net if you are interested .

I am looking forward to getting back into action after this movie is done but will certainly be enjoying training pups for another popular movie.

All the Best
Diana
