So we have a new member to the family...

Boomer joined us yesterday. He is a Lab / Husky mix

I made a deal with my son that if he sold $800 in popcorn for Scouts we'd get a dog. He sold $1500

Looks like a nice dog. Friendly face. Half Lab...it should be a very smart dog.

Great job him selling $1500 for the scouts. How the hewy does someone sell $1500 worth of popcorn!!

Awesome looking pup. Best of luck for all of you.

Hooked - I've been thinking about one for the truck and would love to have one for the vehicle - if you have no need / use for one.

We do have a pseudo crate/cage which he stays in for now while we are gone or at night. He is actually pretty cool with it and goes right in with no problems (helps that is where the comfy dog bed is).

tennis ball is the key to training
make a retrievable one first
with rope tied thru and fill with
doggie beef jerky for reward (smell)
eventually you wean off that one
to reg. ball and treats for returning it
once you have established eye contact
move the ball the head moves
they can be taught anything
nice looking PUP John

teach him to keep wolves away -LOL
