Every once in a life
time comes a dog that you were just meant to have and Hermione is one of
those dogs. Kris can't imagine her life without this innocent
little soul who is so special to her.
Hermione
was born in a puppy mill and came with a severe spinning disorder.
She spins in rapid circles counter clockwise to relieve stress.
Hermione is also
very shy, sound sensitive and has CCD. She's the type of dog that in
the wrong hands wouldn't stand a chance due to her hyperactivity and all
her special needs. Hermione
deserves the very best in life and Kris is determined to give her
everything possible.
Hermione is
beautifully trained in agility and Kris has worked hard on getting her to
balance her body by turning in the opposite direction and doing a lot of
straight line running. Hermione only runs on her left lead leg which
makes getting her to turn very difficult.
Hermione has the most
sweet sensitive soul and is so loving that even though it took 2 years to
get her Agility Dog title, titles are only icing on the cake compared to
Hermione's
happiness.
Hermione also has
suffered from IBS for a long time until Kris recently found out the
culprit to all her digestive issues. Today Hermione is symptom free
from IBS and enjoys a semi-raw diet.
Hermione swims in the
pool and vernal pool almost every day which is surprising for a keeshond, but she
just loves the water. Often
she is found taking a relaxing swim with a toy in her mouth or leaping
into the pool with reckless abandon. She is inseparable with her
border collie brother War and they play like gladiators everyday.
Kris will continue
working on Hermione's agility career and see if she can build greater
confidence in the competition environment.

At home, Hermione runs agility
like a champion. Kris always says it's the difficult cases that
makes a better trainer. It's so much more than training obedience skills
or agility behaviors.
Truly communicating with a
dog like Hermione might take a life time, but it's worth everything to
Kris and her relationship with her.
