Whew, holidays are keeping me pretty busy.. Sorry I haven't been on much!
Anyway, wanted to show you all how big my Dakota boy has gotten. (Yup, he's gonna rival Renee's fila girls by the time he's done growing.. he weighs a whopping 35lbs!) He's 6 months old and has graduated from basic on-leash obedience, he will be starting in an intensive off-leash/CDX level obedience course in January, where I'll learn how to train him for show.
He's also kicked off his career as an educational assistant and therapy dog. For the last month I've been taking him to an after-school class at the Jr. High, for kids under 12 years old.. He doesn't do too much hard work, he's more of a motivational tool. If the kids finish their work, they get to play soccer with Dakota. He's the best dog I've ever seen, around kids. He's gentle and kind with the little ones, and he flings himself around and does rough play with the older kids.
So the pictures with kids in them are of Dakota with his new friends.
Several of his new buddies holding him:
Herding some of the running kids
I just found this hilarious, it's such a wacky picture
