Showline but working

Gloomy afternoon.

Prettiest girl in the world.

She loses her coat in weird places...

”:D” Every time I have long break from training and I get back to it again I have forgotten that I actually need to think and not just do. Well, this is the starting point anyway! I have no idea where my head was while training her probably far up in my ass because I’m doing everything wrong and it’s affecting Surma a lot. I’m glad that she reminded me to focus trying to steal the toy... didn’t help much, though 😂👏. I’m so glad the weather is so nice out already, can’t wait start training again! I have already so many plans for this season so I can hardly wait where it will take us. By the way, did you guys see those returns? She has improved SO MUCH! Before this she couldn’t do long distance returns at all because she wasn’t confident at all of the place. Now she’s fast a AND the placement is right in front of me with nice distance! Now I just have to bring the dumbbell in to it!

I’m doing ok now. Senjo is still a bit ill but everything is probably going to turn out alright in the end. ❤️

Edit. I think the fear of surfaces has been set wrong for Surma though. I am going to contact the research group and give more insight of Surma’s behavior and ask them what they thought about Surma from my given answers. I wonder why they chose to put her in “rarely” category instead of sometimes or often because I don’t think she’s that confident about surfaces and easily falters.

Groenendaels might actually get lot better in <10-25 years. I’m quite excited for the breed while I know there’s lot of issues, and some breeders won’t do but harm for now and in future... I’m just really glad that there are lot of passionate breeders now and I hope that some trainers will give Groenendaels a chance so the puppies will go to a home that can show what the pups are capable of and help the breeder by health testing etc. We will see how many of the puppies of these interesting litters will get a place with a decoy, though... I’m hoping at least couple would but that might be hoping for a miracle.

Also, my leg is still stiff. There’s some long lasting damage but it has been pretty alright for some time now... I just can not do heavy lifting or intense sports... which sucks but I truly hope it will get better before Spring.

 And then, I’m going to South Africa next month! I was thinking of bringing a puppy from there to Finland but decided against it because Senjo has been sick lately and I’m trying to work it out. I might meet with one breeder though if I’ve got enough time for it.

I’m enjoying our winter holiday in Northern Savonia. Senjo and Surru are doing well but my leg is still very much swollen. I wonder when it’s going to heal fully...
