Lasareina Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 haha nope drool not quite cutting it :) I wish my pups would just swim! We took them to Karawatha Forest on the weekend which has this great big quarry/lake... The pups got wet to about their knees with coaxing, and that was it!

cassie Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 A few pics from the Adelaide Royal. Unfortunately none of us in the ring as OH had the camera on the wrong setting and they're all super blurry But nevermind. Sumo didn't win anything but he had an absolute ball. I discovered he LOVES kids! He was getting plenty of attention in his allocated booth where we sat all day, but I know not everyone likes to invade your space and ask for a pat, so for some extra socialisation I took him over to the Advance food stand, where people know that they can come up and pat the dogs and talk to the owners. He was like a kid magnet! :D They all flocked to him! At one stage he was sitting there giving kisses to a couple of 4 year old twins, then a just-walking toddler wandered up and he immediately dropped and let her pat his head. It was just beautiful to watch him behaving so gently with the kids. He hasn't been taught that, it's just the breed and his temperament. I was so proud! :) As for his size! :laugh: It was hilarious, we had some people genuinely interested in Saints chatting to us and asking questions. When they asked what he weighed, I told them 43kg, but he would grow to at least double that. They looked at me totally puzzled and I said "He's not quite six months old yet" well their jaws dropped! They thought he was an adult! To me it's funny because I know the breed so he clearly looks like a puppy, but I guess to other non dog-savvy people he's enormous and therefore must be fully grown. We got a lot of shocked faces when we mentioned his age actually :laugh: This is Sumo and I on the Advance stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassie Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) South Port, the mouth of the Onkaparinga where the river meets the sea. It's perfect as an introduction as there's no waves or strong current :) ETA ...and it's usually very quiet too!

cassie Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hi everyone, thought I'd post an update on my little Sumo man :) We've been out of the show ring for a while due to the silly boy injuring his leg, but thanks to lots of rest and some supplements he is now healthy again :) He has his next couple of shows in two weeks time so looking forward to that. He is 7 months old now and over 60kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackC Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I love Sumo's imitation of the bear rugs, he is such a cuddly boy, 60kg's at 7 months, what you expecting at full grown. 110kg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassie Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 I love Sumo's imitation of the bear rugs, he is such a cuddly boy, 60kg's at 7 months, what you expecting at full grown. 110kg? 110kg Saints (fit, healthy specimens, not overweight) do exist, but we're expecting Sumo to be around the 90kg mark once matured. They don't fully mature til around 4 years old. He is the best cuddler ever :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Sumo is awesome & I bet he is the best cuddler around LOL He is just gorgeous Cassie. Glad to hear he has recovered from his injury & will be returning to the show ring soon :) Edited November 1, 2013 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
