My boy Conner at age 4 completed his OTCH title on Mothers Day May 11th 2008.
When Conner came into my life at 7 weeks old I can only tell you that he always wanted to be close to me. In fact he never liked being told off by Glory even though they played wonderfully together, and would always run to me for forgiveness. He seemed to be somewhat clingy and I worried about this being as I knew he would have to have the confidence to go into the obedience ring to complete. Later he taught me that he could have the confidence as long as I made it clear to him what it was I wanted of him and made everything clear as a bell. This is in fact true of any dog and so the bonding came very early and I knew I would have to take him out and about at an early age and play with him in crowds etc., to give him the confidence he needed. He was never a dog that would like to play with other dogs, YET he is so gentle and kind and tolerates other dogs exceptionally without having to play with them.
Conner has always brought me things and handed them to me, from a kleenex that falls on the floor to a bag of food that I left in an opened cooler all day. When I arrived home from work he went to the cooler and brought me the bag of food as if to say, can I have it.
He is my once in a lifetime dog that tries to please so much.
