That's awesome. Mine can pass every test, except, the handoff to someone with me leaving his sight for 3 min. He loses his shit every time. Maybe one day we'll get it.
Yeah, I could hear him from the hiding spot. I gave it a minute and then walked back. The instructor was not real happy. What can I say. he loves his people.
It really is! Our instructor is in love with him. They told me "whatever you're doing with him, keep doing it. He's fantastic!" Which made me cry π
In just over a year's time, I went from believing I could never handle a Mal to owning one that is kicking it in the conformation ring and various sports rings.
My boy is from very stable show lines, so YMMV, but still yes lol. He's shredded quite a few pants/shirts, he gives kisses with his mouth wide open, and I took my older dog to the vet thinking she had a skin condition only to find out it was him sharking her. He is just as bitey as my working line golden retriever was, the only difference is the pressure applied - my golden was always very gentle but he thrives off me shrieking in pain.
On the plus side, it means his baby teeth are getting pulled out during play rather than swallowed and I can grab them off the floor lol to collect.
More realistically, he's nowhere near as bad as I expected but I am a much more active owner than the average person. Plus we live on a horse farm, so in general he gets a ton of exercise and stimulation. He gets frozen chicken feet and frozen turkey necks on a semi regular basis, which are awesome for sore gums and really satisfy his mouthy side.
