Today we had our weekly meeting, but this meeting was one where Celeste (our CFR) came to do evaluations on all our puppies. Our club was sitting at a conference table and Celeste was going around to each puppy reviewing all her notes from last time. All the pups did really well, and she is not really worries about any of them. When she got to Ryder, she looked at her notes and said, "Ryder is perfect." When I heard that I was so relieved and happy, cause truly Ryder is pretty perfect and bomb proof, his only issue is he is VERY MUCH attached to me, and will stress out when I leave the house and I leave him home with family members. Other than that Ryder is an awesome dog, I can take him anywhere (that he is aloud to go of course) and not worry that he will have an accident, be misbehaved, cause trouble, or be immature, he truly is a puppy raiser's dream puppy. So basically that's all Celeste said about Ryder, she did ask if I have any issues or unusual problems with him, but of course I said no.
So after hearing her say he is perfect (minus a few flaws, no dog is perfect, haha) I of course thought "oh no she is going to recall him soon." Ryder is ready to go back anytime, but I am not ready to let him go anytime soon. She said she is not recalling dogs until they are 15-17 months old these days. So overall I could not be happier with how evaluations went, and knowing that I should have Ryder till November probably.

CFR meetings can be stressful- Don has his in a couple weeks.
Congratulations to you and Ryder for an awesome eval! It sounds like Ryder is an amazing dog. When the time comes for him to be recalled, I'm sure he'll do GREAT in formal training.
Congrats on the successful review! What a great job you are doing with him. He'll make someone an amazing partner.
CFR meetings are a gift from the devil. I swear, every puppy in my group knows what day they are and they all misbehave.
I hated being asked, "Do you think Freya is ready to go back?" All I could answer was a most definite "yes". It killed me say it because she was recalled at 16 months. I'm sure Ryder is the same way. There's nothing you can do but hope you have him longer I guess.
That's great that Ryder is doing so well and that he passed his evaluations with such flying colors! Great job, Katlynn!!
