London

Summer Brook The Twilight Bark RE BN

London is my outgoing, loving, and confident dog who I have high hopes for in the obedience ring. She is active when she needs to be and loves to work. However, she can switch into her calm loving alter-ego in a heartbeat. Even as a puppy, she would often go into a down position when going up to children. It’s almost as if she sensed that her down position was a comfort to little ones. London loves belly rubs. She loves chasing a ball. She loves to please. In short, London loves life, all phases of it!

DNA Health Test Results for London

PRA1 – Clear by Parentage – See Luke and Tara’s pages for proofs

PRA2 – She is either a clear or a carrier. Her dad, Luke, is clear. Her mom, Tara, is either a clear or a carrier. Since all our boys are clear, we won’t test London (unless at some point we consider using an outside stud that is not clear. Then we’d of course have her tested.) PRA1 and PRA2 are recessive genes. If one parent is clear, no puppies will be affected by it.

Ichthyosis – clear. London was identified as Miss Pink. If you look at the entire document, you’ll see that we were really blessed with this litter. All 4 girls were clear. Their dad was a carrier and their mom was clear. Statistically, we should have had 50/50 clears and carriers!

Videos of Past London Puppies

Below is a video of London’s first litter of puppies practicing down/stays on the day they turned 9 weeks. We start our puppies out on a raised bed for the stay exercises in order to keep then from developing a habit of creeping forward. Once staying still is taught, we begin practicing on the ground.

The next video is of those same puppies learning to heel. It was also filmed the day puppies turned 9 weeks. Before teaching puppies to move in heel position, we start puppies out with the demonstrated stationary exercises. Dogs often have difficulty staying in position while moving on a leash because they were never taught how to find the correct position when not moving. We teach these stationary exercises as soon as puppies can move one or two steps in heel position and before we begin moving with them more than one or two steps.
