So what type of dog does everyone have and what are you doing with your pup in a training sense?
I have A Female Shepherd who is a Shutzhund training and is a level 3 protection dog. I have one of her pups who is gonna be a beast! He is 41lbs at less than 4 months old. A white lab who is the Girlsfriends dog and is getting better at OB,(obedience). And I actually purchased a nice young Dobie to train and sell.
I am actually a full time dog trainer for any breed. You can check out the website www.k9goodmanners.com

I'm a Military Working Dog handler. Though I don't have a dog to come home to, I do have plenty of dogs to go to work to. I've handled three GSD's and am going to handle a Belgian Mal/Dutch Shep mix. He's a beast.
All the dogs are trained in Patrol Aggression training, which is similar to Shutzhund training, as well as detection. Every day is a new adventure with these dogs.

I have 5 black labs, now that I know a little more about you I'm going to send em all down to you!
Mora is just a mom, 2 litters and no more.. 5 years old, a bit overweight for her build at 90lbs. Pretty much just a companion dog. She's a smart bitch though she watches us do everything then does it herself. Open the fridge, oven, microwave, doors, windows(casement and sash), car doors inside and out. We have her under control now and can get her to do most of it only on command.
Ernie is a bird dog, and a jumper. 4 years old, 83lbs. If he isn't doing his "job" he lays at your feet and waits..
Pig is a jumper, 2 years old and coming close to 100lbs. He wants his ball or his dad's decoy toy most of the time but he's in training for jumping (http://asquared.phanfare.com/album/308327#imageID=18883309). He's my baby, he was the first one out from Mo's first litter and we connected instantly.
Ellie is.. Well she's Ellie.. Basic training and that's it, She's 2 and 70 lbs. We had to take her back because her owners neglected her and we're still working on fixing her. She likes to play keep away from the others if we have em all out "fetching". She shows some hope as a rabbit dog. She likes sniffing out their hutches and swiping a pup and running the yard with it before giving her trophy up to us. Never kills it in good Lab fashion..
Tank (AKC Tank advantage of the moment) 2 years old and 75lbs. He's a show Lab that we have yet to show.. We had a rescue transport set up for him last year to go from Ohio to Vegas and he never made it out of Il.
We recently took back 2 pups from the last litter. Dodge and Omni. Both are 6 months old and kinda small. Dodge is about 40lbs and Omni is 32lbs. Omni has some teeth issues(3 fronts are coming in crooked) and Dodge is a bit of a bully.. I'm just working on getting em into a good home at this point.. They've been together so long that they go nuts when they're separated..

I have a Rotty I am working protection on. I am working on getting his drive up. He is also a tad fat so I am trying to slim him up. My Beagle is from a line of rabbit hunting dogs. I've only had her out hunting a couple of times. She is due to have a litter in the middle of August which I hope to get a good pup to start running with her.

I forgot about that the other day while you were over or I would have brought you a video of whelping pups. If you want I can help you make that box too.

I have a 10 week old (tomorrow) chihuahua, I'm working on training her to not be like most other chi's. My mom has 2 german shepards who have both been through OB training, but seem to not listen very well

How are those pups doing on Ball drive? Got a guy thats always looking for good labs for Police narcotics detection. Might be a good home for them and a lil money in your pocket too.

Make sure you dont carry the Cji around alot. This is a HUGE problem mith most. Its a dominance thing. Also sounds like your folks didnt have the right OB trainer! haha I do house calls!
