Diesel came to us as an outgoing puppy and immediately after briefly getting to know Count Higgins, our unneutered, then 4-year-old blue male, stumbled over the available dog beds, explored Higgins' toys, and unceremoniously decided on a ball.
To this day, retrieving a ball stands tall....
The "little" explorer
From an early age, Diesel was always curious and eager to experiment.
The swing was one of those experiments, very cautious at first, Diesel later enjoyed the movement and floated back and forth until he finally fell asleep.
Diesel is not afraid of heights, water, speed, noise, other people or animals.

First pool visit
Off through the tunnel
Diesel at the zoo
Diesel at the Tigers
Early practice
After that we started to educate our little Diesel and practiced twice a week in a dog school and of course at home.
Retrieval also goes
So Diesel made himself super retrievable and good at listening to commands the male. Swing, tunnel, ball pool was all offered to create enough stimuli. Many walks together with Higgins are of course daily program
Count Higgins is always with you
Higgins is always by Diesel's side whenever possible and was interested and happy to have his friend from the start. The two get along great and discover the world together. Peaceful coexistence is possible. We couldn't detect any teasing or alpha behavior from either of them and that makes the whole thing very uncomplicated.
