Hello, and welcome to the August 2009 issue of the Trinity Oak's Newsletter! It has been a very cool summer up here in northern Indiana; July actually set records for the lowest temperature average EVER in this area! As always, great for running and working the dogs. We are gearing up for the fall hunt test season, and have quite a crew of young dogs running in Started this time around. Some of the tests that we are running at are listed below, will be some fun times!
Hard to believe it is already August again, wish you all a wonderful "late" summer with your furry pals!

~Current and Upcoming Litters~
 All litters can be viewed on the website's Puppies Page

Summer Litter#1: HRCH "Coach" X "Dee" - Black and Yellow Pups whelped June 24, 2009.  Sire: HRCH Wolf Creek's Ebonstar Coach - Coach is a super duck and pheasant dog who lives to retrieve. He finished his Hunting Retriever Championship title in fall 2008 passing 9-11 hunt tests on the year. This spring, he also passed 2 more Upland hunter tests. He ran the 2009 Spring GRAND hunt in South Dakota and made it to the 2nd series. Coach is black, weighs about 70 lb, and is OFA Good, Elbows Normal, and his Eyes are Clear. Dam: Brennan's Golden Melody - Dee is a very nice female who loves to retrieve birds. She is a great marker and has a very good nose. Her pedigree is a unique blend of Show and hunting blood and it is very easy to see in her conformation. One of Dee's most outstanding qualities is her love of people. She has NEVER met a stranger and is always ready for a good rub. Dee has  produced some exceptional pups in her previous litters; they are loaded with drive, good looks, and marking ability. Dee is OFA GOOD. Pups are priced at $400, and will be ready to go August 12th at 7 weeks.

~Training Camp: Basic Obedience
Training Process 
This process is usually started with dogs between 5 and 7 months old. However, it can be done with older age dogs, and should be reviewed often to insure good manners at home, in the field, and during testing situations. This is also the required training used before implementing the electric collar conditioning process. 

The obedience training should start as yard work and then repeated in various locations to teach the dog that it is required to obey regardless of the location and or distractions. Start out on your lawn or a place with short grass and no cover. Also try to do this on flat terrain to avoid any contour factors having effect on the pup.

We had the pleasure of working with the Eash family last March, 2008 and are now the proud owners of Chloe Jo, our 18 month old yellow lab, who's sire was Coach and dam was Zoe.  Chloe has been a blessing to our family from the day we brought her home; she has an incredible disposition.  We can't tell you how many people have commented on how beautiful and well behaved she is; from the neighbors to strangers who see her riding in the truck with us.  She absolutely loves people, kids, other dogs, going for rides, bringing the newspaper in every day and swimming.  Thanks again and we highly recommend Trinity Oaks if you are considering adding a lab to your family.

Hi Abby,
I took Little Cocoa to the vet yesterday for his rabies shot and when they weighed him, he was 36 ¾ pounds.  He has more than doubled his weight. He is a real character! 

My other dog, Bailey, has this giant nyla bone - the biggest one they make.  He treasures it, believe me.  It is his favorite possession. When I come home from work, he will have it in his mouth and be trying to bark "hello" all at the same time.  He wants to share his favorite toy with me.  That is such love.  Well, little Cocoa goes flying into the hall and grabs Bailey's giant nyla  (dyna) bone and finally drags and carries it into the kitchen to his own bed.  It is hysterical.  Then he proceeds to lie down with it and chew away on it.  Sometimes, he is brazen enough to just lay down on Bailey's bed with his head on the pillow and have a wonderful time chewing on it.  Bailey just looks at him and then at me and walks off into the living room.  My Bailey is such a sweet laid back boy.  He used to be a crazy boy when he was little and even up until he was over 2 or so. 

The vet said Cocoa has all his permanent front teeth already.  I never even saw the baby teeth come out. I hope you are having a good summer and enjoying your beautiful dogs.  Cocoa chases his rubber football all over the kitchen and dinette and how he gets it out from under the table sometimes, mystifies me.  I should call him Houdini. 
Say hi to your Mom & Dad and thank you again for my little bundle of energy.

Hi Abby,

Rex is doing great!  He's 4 months old now and growing like a weed, about 40lbs.  He mastered sit, stay, come, drop, and a few other commands within the first couple of weeks and is now doing great on a leash.  He has a wonderful temperament and LOVES to retrieve already. He loves going out on our boat and jumps off over and over to swim.  Just recently, he's started showing signs that he's ready to start dock jumping.  We're excited to let him try soon.  He has made several friends of his own and has a blast romping & running around with them every night in the park behind our house. We recently returned from a week long fishing trip in NE Canada.  Rex went too!  He endured the 12hr drive & strange surroundings without any problem.  Everyone there kept commenting on how well behaved he was for 12wks, even when he kept pirating their suitcases looking for a "prize" (usually a sock).  We couldn't have hoped for a better dog! 
Here's some pics (8wks, 10wks, & 13wks).  Hope you're having a great summer!

Hello Abby, 

Just letting you know that "Kota" is wonderful! She has had no accidents in the house and is just the sweetest little girl! We got her a pink camo collar:)

Thank you again, we have had a wonderful experience with you and your family and our new family member. I also want to tell you that we are very much impressed with your organization and professionalism. We will continue to recommend Trinity Oaks to any who has an interest in pups or training.
