Sherry was born the 12.4.2002 in Adventurer's Kennel in Nousiainen. The litter contained 8 puppies, all black, 4 girls and 4 boys. When the litter was 3 weeks old we went to look at the puppies, and again at 5 weeks. Sherry was a small 7 weeks old puppy when we brought her home.
She was supposed to be a Brandy, but that name didn't fit her at all, so we changed it to Sherry as soon as we saw her.
It was a hot day in early June when we came home with Sherry. During the 2 hour ride home Sherry had managed to swim in her drinking bowl 3-4 times, so my clothes were all wet. You could already then see htat this was a dog who loved water!
The first meeting with big sis' Rosa went fine. At first Rosa didn't appreciate that Sherry took her toys, but it didn't take that much time until Sherry was accepted.
With Sherry I started the "real" obedience training when she was around 1.5 years old. She loves the training and she's a very fast learner. Around 9 Month after we started the training we passed the BH-test. In 2004 we participated in a Field Test for Retrievers, but we didn't pass it, but maybe one day! We are also aiming at participating in a obedience test at some point!
