What can I say about my buddy Eli? He's got a bit of that PWD devilish twinkle
in those dark, dark eyes, but he's mostly a very, very good boy with
only minimal counter-surfing. His blue-black coat falls in soft large
curls and is a joy to touch. His phenomenal rear draws attention from
breeders in the know, and his temperament wins over even the most jaded.
As a working dog, Eli has good working drive, but
could use a bit more dedication on my part. He has earned the first two
levels of PWD water titles, but our emphasis today is on agility with a
little competitive obedience thrown in. Eli loves agility, but as with
any PWD, you gotta have a sense of humor! At his first
AKC trial, Eli had a near-perfect run, even breezing through the tire at
height and also the weave poles which we could have trained more. Alas!
at the last moment Eli trotted over the broad jump with an innocent grin. What could I do but
laugh? What a clown.
The photo at right was taken at a water trial a few
years ago. During the warm-up, a
swarm of hornets flew through. Eli, being in a lion trim, was stung-up
pretty badly, but twenty minutes and some Benedryl later, Eli got in the
water and earned his Apprentice title a second time so I could get some
pictures. We also were awarded the teammanship award that year. What a heart
this guy has, I'm telling you!
Eli is a lot of dog in a small package, right at the bottom of the PWD standard--20" at
the shoulder and 45 pounds--a great size to haul back into a boat. He
has sired four litters (MT, OR, and two in CA) with several champion
get. Inquiries for stud dog service: contact
