Puppy reader who is teething and her teeth feels very itchy so she constantly needs to chew on something and monster!Konig tentacles are her favorite things to chew on bc they're kinda rubbery, soft and taste funny...

- 🐮

Cw: teething, biting, sea food???, tell me if I missed any.

Ghost had been your handler for the past year, having to train and teach you everything you’d need to work with them. He’d seen your lows as often as your highs, from a whining pup, moaning about not receiving enough pets or kisses or treats, seemingly almost missing something, to an energetic mutt, bouncing off the walls and running laps at the prospect of praises and affection. 

He’d seen it all, every little moment you had that had him strain against the limit of his patience as a competent handler. And despite your age, far from being a young puppy with frail limbs and limp ears, you could act as on: whining, crying, barking until something - someone - gave you the attention you needed, but he’d never seen you do… this.

It was unusual for you to be this mouthy, teeth itching to sink into something, your teeth bared and snarling when anyone tried to take the object from your mouth. Ghost had bought you toys, boxes filled with softer chew toys rather than the hard plastic of a shoe or the metal bite of utensils, but you worked through them faster than he could provide. Perhaps you were bored of the repeated drills despite dogs being creatures of habit, or you were lacking activity, he was getting busier with all the reports and paperwork he had to fill in for Price. Especially with another PMZ being called for a joint alliance.

He worried that they’d pose a danger to you, so young and naive to how others could treat you as a hybrid, he had both Gaz and Soap follow you —or rather, you follow them; but when he saw you perk up at the sight of a giant man and another hybrid, a scarred tiger, Ghost felt his shoulders tense. You just had to find interest in a man - could he even be a man with how big he was? - heads taller than him, broad and dangerous. You had completely forgotten his orders, trailing behind the giant like a lost pup, tail wagging and eyes bright. 

You’d go missing for hours upon hours, leaving the Task Force as worried as they were confused, lost without the small ball of sunshine around them. They would go looking for you, asking around until they eventually found you curled up and asleep on your bed, your snoring echoing softly in Ghost’s room. It went on like that for the week and the next, only finding you in the Mess Hall or your bed, not knowing where you went during these long breaks. 

Until- until Gaz had found you straddling the giant’s - König’s - lap, you face covered in a thin layer of mucus and gnawing on a tentacle, long and dark and viscous. Ghost was livid, König being an octopus hybrid - however odd that sounded - and how at ease you both felt to let each other be so physically close to one another. Granted, you were a sociable hybrid, which seemed to bother him less than the sight of you biting on a König’s tentacle.

He knew you were somehow teething, but it bothered him how you were dealing with it with someone else instead of coming to him for a solution. Ghost would have to talk to you later.

this sentient stuffed animal is going to be with me for the next week or two to work on socialization and exposure and some baby show/sport work.

he’s already had an excellent start in life with his breeder and that work has been continued by one of my dedicated long term clients so he doesn’t need much help from me. They live very rural and my client doesn’t drive and their partner works out of the home, so I get to help show him more of the world than they would be able to during this critical time.

if there’s anything you guys want to see, let me know! I’ve been lazy about filming, but I’ll have to film for my clients anyway so it’s easy to add stuff on.

im still so eepy i want to lay in my handlers lap and sleep the day awayyy

[puppynametaken]

AC6 is real good. Listened to hypno beforehand (optional) to really get in the pilot hound persona. I’m gonna be a good girl for Handler.

Also I absolutely suck at it but god it is fun :3

A little bit about CKC pointing field trials (puppy stakes) in general for those who are interested in how they run.

CKC has its hunting dog events broken out pretty specifically. CKC is restrictive in which breeds can run which events (e.g., only CKC registered approved pointing breeds can run pointing tests, other breeds are excluded even if they technically could complete the exercises. Rory can only run pointing events, she couldn't do a retriever test or a spaniel test).

We also have a distinction in trials vs tests, as most other venues do.

Trials - you are competing against other people and being judged against a standard. You run in pairs. Top 4 dogs get placements, once you get enough points you get a field championship.

Tests - you are running alone and being judged against a standard for a qualifying/non-qualifying runs. 3 qualifying runs gets you a title.

We are currently running CKC pointing field trials.

CKC pointing trials have two main distinctions within them - puppy stakes and senior stakes. You can enter whichever stake you're ready for, with some exceptions (like age) - you don't have to run puppy stakes before running senior stakes.

Puppy stakes are a little lower pressure because they judge puppies' potential. Within puppy stakes, there are two main types of runs.

Open puppy stakes: any puppy *of eligible breed* between 6 and 18 months old. No birds hidden in the field, no gunshots on the course, 15-20 minutes running.

Derby stakes: any puppy of eligible breed between 6 and 27 months old. At least two birds hidden in the field, puppy needs to point birds if encountered, gunshots, 20-30 minutes.

We run open puppy for now. Here's how this goes:

We are randomly paired with another puppy and handler (this pairing is called a brace, the other handler and dog are our bracemates). We walk up to the start line together (usually the entrance to a big pasture) with our puppies on leash. Two judges (on ATV or horseback) give us a quick overview of the course we have to walk. The course is usually through a big open field with medium cover (think knee high grasses and shrubs, some wetlands, some hills but no forest) and typically avoids fencelines or roads. They tell us to release our dogs at the same time, so we let the dogs off leash and start walking (very fast, and I'm a fast walker to begin with). The course is usually huge, much bigger than we could possibly walk in 20 mins.

Usually the puppies play a little bit and then get to work. The judges are looking for puppies who can ignore the other dog and handler, judges, ATV, horses, and spectators, hunt independently, cover lots of ground (move fast and steady across the terrain while still sniffing), use the wind to follow scent, and respond to their handlers' directions. If the puppies want to play too much, the judges will ask the handlers to split up a little bit to encourage the puppies to work independently. Usually you stick within about 10m (25ft) of your bracemate. Puppies can range anywhere as long as they stay visible and ahead of their handlers. (Puppies are often about several hundred metres/yards away from their handlers depending on breed. Rory ranges about 50-100m in real life and about 75-300m in field trials. It is an exhilarating exercise in trust in my training.)

The judges follow behind us and then spectators can follow behind the judges, if they want. We have to keep up a very fast pace to encourage the puppies to cover as much ground as possible, not at a jog but pretty close.

In puppy stakes, you want to keep as quiet as you can. The judges are looking for instinct and basic potential, so you don't want to ruin that by giving your dog tons of directions. If your puppy follows directions, that suggests they need directions to function. If your dog ignores directions, that's unresponsive and also bad. Ideally you shouldn't say much during your run unless there's danger (if a deer runs out, you would recall your puppy) or evils (if your puppy is eating poop, you could recall or redirect). You are allowed to chat with your bracemate but you have to hustle fast so it's usually friendly but minimal.

One important piece of open puppy stakes is that there are no planted birds in the field! There may be wild birds, but it's unlikely. Many people "over train" their bird dog puppies on live birds, and then the puppies get really frustrated that there are no birds in the field after they search so hard. This causes puppies to slow down or give up entirely during their run, so this is something that judges look for. In real life hunting, there's no guarantee of birds so it's important that puppies can work through frustration without losing enthusiasm.

The judges kind of shout directions (go left, head for those trees) from behind to keep us on course. In the best courses, the judges make you walk a loop, but sometimes your time ends in the middle of a field. When your time is up, the judges will thank you and tell you to leash your dog. We recall our puppies and put them on leash and walk them back to our cars for water and snacks.

That's the whole run for open puppy! It's very low pressure. The puppies basically just follow their hearts and do what they were made to do.

Derby is extremely similar, except there are birds planted in the field. The puppies don't HAVE to find birds but obviously its preferable that they do. If they find birds, they must point (stop moving and stand still staring at the bird). They don't have to be steady to flush or shot (they can chase when the bird flies or when the gun goes off), and only blanks are shot in derby. The course is a little longer but everything else is the same.

In open puppy and derby stakes, the judges are just looking for potential. They want to know if your dog would be competitive in the senior stakes, so they're looking for lots of independence, lots of bird drive, lots of stamina, things like that. Because they're judging potential, younger puppies may be judged a little easier than older puppies.

I think that's the gist of puppy stakes in CKC pointing field trials! Send me a message if you have questions about our experience so far!

hiaiaaia haiiiiiiii ^_^ big brother handler! razor hcs caring for a lil puppy regressor pleasee :3

Request: @jayelves

"Puppy!Regressor & Handler!Razor."

Request accepted!

✧ Razor as a handler is really smart! He knows that you are just a curious little puppy, so he understands you might not make the smartest decision (digging in the ground, getting wet from splashing in puddles, ect.)

✧ He's so understanding! (Well, he tries to be, anyways.) If you want to be padded? Sure! Want a collar? He won't judge - and he'll even help draft out designs! Want a pacifier? He'll fuss over you, but it's fine with him!

✧ Will play games with you! Tag, tug of war, playful wrestling (if you are okay with that sort of violence, ect). Of course,he'll let you always win for bragging rights!

✧ Always knows the best locations for sunbathing. He will take you to a nice spot in Mondstadt and make sure there's no evil bad guys nearby. He'll teach you on how to sneak up on local wildlife, but he makes a point to not hurt them.

✧ Will gift you rabbit stuffed animals, and he will laugh and coo when you chew on it! If you accidentally destroy it, he gives you a gentle lecture on not hurting 'Mondstadt wildlife', but also praises your hunting skills. "No hurt. Rabbit stuffie our friend. But did good hunt today. Proud."

✧ Razor will often let you assist in cooking. Something simple as getting dry firewood for the stove, suggesting what the two of you eat for the meal, ect. He won't hesitate to go into the main city and spend money for ingredients...and maybe some candy for afterwards.

I need to drag my cute mutt to the store with me. We'd look at doormats together and with every one we pull off the shelf, I'd lean in to their ear to ask what torture it would be to kneel on. How their weight would push uncomfortable plastic and fiber into their knees. How much worse it will be when I shove my boot into their leg to add my own weight to it.

It will hurt, baby. And you'll be so happy knowing we picked it together.

[meyerlansky]

lowkey wanna write more puppy bucky but don't have any other ideas 😞

[natesmindmuseum]

cleaned and conditioned my handlers boots :3

[vices-of-a-feral-prince]

Had another great night and after being bit and spanked and choked a little I got SOOO many head scratches. Full on big smile from him, really enthusiastic, very sweet, etc. He told me not to talk for a bit while he did that and my brain just could not compute for a full second the amount of unrestrained joy and praise I was getting. The rush of giddyness after that moment was incredible and I got to just cuddle and suck on his fingers after.

[cobaltsunflower]

Bruuuuhhhhhhhhhhh i'm gonna die

Savanna says stay hydrated!!!

Went to the bank today and the teller was not only from my home state, but lived maybe 10 miles away from me while we were growing up. That was trippy enough, but then he was also like. Alarmingly good-looking. It's been a long time since I was in a conversation with someone who was so oppressively attractive that I experienced a fight or flight response, like that story about writing one's crush a letter telling them to get out of your school.

But I am also mildly less embarrassed because I now know so many people who would have the exact same response if they suddenly encountered Alan or Mike on the street out of nowhere. I am in good company.
