Thanks! I think I'm definitely going to figure out how to do that and do it. Cause I do love dogs and that's why I think it's perfect because if I could be working with dogs all day, whether it's walking or training or pet setting, why wouldn't I as opposed to being stuck in an office or retail job all day. And very true! Can definitely practice on them and might possibly start volunteering at a shelter or something so I can practice there too and also just get more experience in dogs. Cause I've read a lot/watched videos and theoretically know a lot about dogs and dog behavior but haven't had very much hands on experience with very many different dogs so I think it'd be good.

And yes the correct way to refer to him is the bear or the horse

I called area obedience schools and asked if I could come learn from them. There are also actual schools for people to become obedience trainers. I believe one of the better ones is in MA.

Come, come to the other side, we have candy

Which side is that?
More importantly, what type of candy?

I've always pictured a very dark spot with a single light source, a old style street lamp, with varying shades of lightness emanating out revealing rubbish on the pavement.

Also, it is calming.

Art from a few years back. I’ll try to find more. Mostly watercolour with pen/pencil crayon mixed in.

That's a great idea, never would have thought to ask obedience schools to watch. Seems so obvious now lol and wow really?

Have you heard any songs by Ian Tyson? He's from Alberta I think.

Back in the 70s, yes.

So it's a blue bird from Lloyd miner lines? Would that ne right? Just making sure I understand. All blue games aren't "miner blues" right?

all correct. The thing about these is they don't breed true. They will always throw all colors however they will never or should I say have never threw anything that looked lile another breed. That's why I like them you never know how they are gonna come out. And on top of that they change color with each molt till about 2yrs old. Really neat. You can throw those genetic books out the window with these. And yes people have been proven wrong about how it (supposed to) work.

Yup. The biggest/best known one is in MI I think.

thanks. Folks prolly don't notice but you see those coal black eyes? That's what you're looking for in the miners it shows you're dealing with the real thing. Don't get me wrong some don't have black but when you're pushing 80-90% black you're doing good. That light blue one had the wrong eyes too now that I think about it.
True story last March or so I sold someone a dozen chicks. They were in a box and one his way up the deck no hi what's up or nothing first words were "all their eyes black" lol they were

The splash with black eyes is pretty much it

I had not noticed!
