No idea about your question ... just wanted to say that was a cute Lucy story!!! 
working people!!
What makes you decide when to spay or neuter??
I made Lucy's appointment to get spayed on Friday, I've been kinda up in the air on this for a while now. She is 10 months old. I haven't been able to get to the schutzhund club for a while, I basically gave up because its such a far drive for me ( 4 hrs ) I know that you can't make a working dog out of one time a month, unless you can do stuff at home. I don't want to do stuff at home, cause I am still learning. Anyways since I gave up I decided it was time to spay her, cause I never planned on breeding anyway. But since I made this appointment I've really noticed what a good dog she is, she amazes me. She has so much determination and intensity in everything she does. The guys at the schutzhund club said she was a beautiful dog with ALOT of potential. I know I can still work her when she is spayed if I ever come accross someone who can help me. But I don't want to regret having her spayed.
SO anyways, this is basically a nothing post, just me trying to figure out what to do, LOL.
hehe, just a little story from last night, while I'm typing.
I brought Lucy to the ball park cause Chad was hitting balls, I let her go in the diamond, and she went and received pretty much EVERY ball that was hit, she was really hyper, lol. So all the guys went to collect the rest of the balls that she didn't get, and Mike, Chads friend decided to play tug with his glove, of course Lucy won. She ran around with his glove for probably10 minutes before Chad called her, and made her out. Then he gave the glove to Mike who went to put it in his bag. Well Lucy pretty much put him in a bark and hold cause she wanted the glove, I was DYING of laughter, and Mike was like " WTF, why won't she let me move?" LMAO!!!!! I just went over and grabbed her and gave her a ball and she was okay.

LOL Ditto!
then you need to get out to the shows/trials and have her evaluated. we all know that you are more than resposible enough to have an intact dog so wait, get her out and see what the "professionals" think. it would be a shame to lose a good dog that can add to the breed when so many that don't are out there being bred
I like the stuff on the boyd's high jumpin mikie side.
It is hit and miss with any dog.
I am coming to see Trail hospital and Kelowna General for work next week.
how far are you from either? I will give you a free eval for work ability then.
There are some awesome dogs on your ped and some so so ones. Who knows. Dogs are a gamble, no matter how it is bred. I am very partial to woody blood.
However, I do feel a good one SHOULD BE BRED. There are too many crap out there. A good female is like gold. A strong female with stable, hard nerves, and high drive is like a thing of beauty. Females impress me more than males. For me, a female is MORE important than the male.

Thanks Kasco, and Lisa for the nice words.
I am a little nervous, but only 3 more hours till I get to pick her up. It should be a quiet night at home though. Definately gonna have to rent some movies and chill with my girl
