Venom survived his first Fourth of July!! I was so impressed with him although I am not surprised he did well, he is proving to be a very stable individual. Fireworks are illegal in our city but of course people do what they want and spent half the night setting off super loud bombs and other fireworks. A couple of our dogs were stressed and worried, but not Venom. He slept or played through all of it. I am really happy about that and super proud of him.
No matter what anyone says all individuals are a product of both their genetics and environment. We are doing everything we can to expose Venom to lots of different things in a fun and positive way and I think that will help shape him into a stable, confident, outgoing individual. The other thing we did to ensure a dog with the temperament we want is to choose a puppy from two dogs with stable temperaments.
I met Neena when she was already an adult, about 3 years old. As soon as I met her I could see that she has a very outgoing and sweet temperament. I worked with her only a few times before showing her for the first time and walking away with a major! She is a really great dog and super fun to show. Casey is the same way. Outgoing and friendly with people and other dogs.
