4 months

The pups will be 4 months old tomorrow.
Liza continues to replace some front teeth. She's chewing a lot (things she's allowed).
We just went camping. She was very good, slept well.
She's not swimming after her first dash a while ago, it'll come.
She's getting much bolder on morning walks, running alone into dense vegetation, exploring, following her nose. She's going to be  a handful in a couple months.
She's very interested in birds now, I have to see what I can find for training.
Retrieving is at the same level, I think recently I've been neglecting it...

3-d vaccine, teeth

We gave Liza wormer and 3-d dose of puppy vaccine, she's also on monthly heartworm preventative.
She lost 2 teeth and the bottom and one at the upper jaw.

She really shows more interest in birds and scents now, she's not running after mom all the time, but rather investigates on her own and more around me, which is great news.

Retrieving was slow going, she's possessive.

I found one ball she loves playing with and started using it.

Also, I am taking her in the yard on a checkcord and play fetch few times,
It's not working all that well with the CC, she just lies down and chewes on the retrieve object, but if I walk away, she follows, so I'll use that.

She's great little pup and all is well so far.
We met one of her brothers for the vaccination and the pups had great time running around hay fields, except for a broken nail and a bitten face (just a scratch from ant Ivy), sorry Archie.

I really expected to do more formal training by now...

I should allocate some time every day for obedience.

We have a new problem - Liza is more attached to her mom, then to me. It's not surprising, but still new.

I continue light play fetch training, 2-3 throws inside the house in the hallway.
I tried in the yard for the first time. She's quite possessive, so I put a checkcord on her and gently reeled her in. That worked OK.

If I had quail, I'd introduce her now, but the Stoufville market has closed, they tell me...

She's growing, weight's about 20 lbs.
