  • Father & sons reunion!

    Father & sons reunion!

    I am so excited that I got to meet up with our miniJimmies and more than impressed how similar they are to their father! On 30th December we went for a walk with Drops (GO FOR IT! Zip Zap // Jimmy x Aiky 2021). He grew up into a handsome young man! He grew out his father a bit and it seems that nothing will stop him from being a dogfrisbee star just like Jim;)

    He’s a wonderful, driven, very athletic boy. Has wonderful manners in everyday life, though his owners said that he still has some problems with on/off if there are other dogs training next to him. We did a quick frisbee training and it turns out that his jumping technique is outstanding! He also learned flips in like two or three repetitions, he makes them so beautifully! Awesome dog when it comes to tracking the disc, very successful too. Not a sprinter when it comes to retrieval, just as his father was hahah

    Then on 2nd January Tomasz and his dogs visited Cracow and it happened that I took care of them when Tomasz went to work. I was very very impressed how well Gauss (GOOD BOY JIMMY Zip Zap // Jimmy x Aiky 2021) is behaving in such a herd. Communicating really well, avoiding conflicts. Of course they quickly became besties with Jimmy – Gauss is definitely his fav son hahaha. A great hugger, always ready to come for some belly rubs. He is also a 1:1 copy of Jim but in tricolor and 2cm smaller! My ideal boy <3 I tried to convince Tomasz to let Gauss stay with me forever but well… I couldn’t. Another wonderful, driven and athletic boy. Master of on/off in every situation. New dogs, people and house didn’t matter for him, he just layed next to me and ignored other dogs and that’s it! I let him catch a disc a few times and I can say that he also has a great technique and amazing physical possibilities. Those fast turns! I am really curious what will the future bring to him!
