Flash also isn't a Rottweiler - for those who haven't noticed. Flash is a 5 year old working sheep dog, he was the last of an unplanned litter a friend of our's had and so came home.. Flash doesn't do standing still so we couldn't get a pretty head shot; he does full-on, running around like a maniac, ants-in-his-pants. He too passed his KC GC Gold (boring, boring), before making me promise that I would never again subject him to such tedious slowness. He is a natural agility dog, fast and lithe, and completely movement oriented with a strong chase drive, (so completely wasted on me!!). He is now Grade 6 at agility and after a ropey start due to me being hopeless and my back playing up, the rosettes are starting to come in again.
Flash is now also doing Obedience again. He has decided that it is not quite so boring, now that he can pick up scent cloths and dumb bells and throw them around (and at the judge). His recall is his party piece, running up to me at 100 miles an hour and then launching himself into my arms instead of sitting at my feet. His heelwork is getting better. It is slightly less 'whipped farm dog' now.
Flash is a lovely dog with a super temperament, although he needs to be busy. His other party piece is knocking people's drinks over at parties with his super-swooshy tail. Useful trick that, and popular.
