Jill,
The day we picked up Diesel I remember I was a little upset that we did not get to pick out our pup. You had him ready and waiting for us and told us that because we had three young children you had picked the more submissive of the many male pups. I of course wanted the biggest most rambuncious. ( that must have been Brick!)It wasnt until later that afternoon I knew you had picked us a winner! We took Diesel back to my parents place on Seneca lake and with out any help or encouragement he followed my children into the water and truly swam most of the afternoon with them. I have been proud of him since the first day we picked him up at 8 weeks old!
These majors are tuff! Altough I believe he is the best looking boy out there, it never ceases to amaze me the level of competition in the show ring. They are all handsome. Kathy mines has done a spectatular job with him. The first few times in the ring all he wanted to do was sniff the gound. Kathy ran around the ring telling him " no bird, no bird". Hopefully she can finish him soon so we can get back to doing what he loves best, retrieving.
Thank you all for the encouragement, especially Gerrie!
Fred...everyone that knows you is sending good vibes for Diesel and Kathy Mines at Wine Country shows!! We want to see another CH/MH at the 2014 Master National next year!!
When I see you at the end of the month at the LI HRC tests - Hope we have a HUGE reason to celebrate! GO DIESEL!!
