There is also video of her hiking with us in Sweden :)

Thank you very much :) When she was younger she would take off sometimes but nowadays she disobeys verbal commands rarely. This is in western Germany

@@JensUhlmannOfficial Thanks. Good to hear. I’m considering an IT or a pair and one of my main concerns is not being able to have them off lead. You are blessed to have such a beautiful area nearby.

@@onedirection3510 I am not the expert here, Frida is my sister's dog so I cannot speak out of my own experience. An IT is not the easiest dog to train but it's definitely worth it :)

Von Fjällnäs bis nach Grövelsjön

Hallo, ich (das Frauchen ;-) ) habe vorher mal kurz solche Schuhe ausprobiert- der Hund war super genervt und hat sie direkt ausgezogen. Sie kam super klar, ich habe abends die Füße kontrolliert und mit Fett (so eine Schlittenhund-Musher Salbe, wobei es Melkfett vielleicht auch tut) eingerieben. Ich hatte eine Neoprensocke dabei die sie tatsächlich ein paar Nächte getragen hat- sie hatte vor der Wanderung eine kleine Entzündung bzw. wundgeleckte Stelle zwischen den Zehen. Um das Lecken zu verhindern gabs die Socke, aber das war wanderunabhängig. Falls du Skandinavien mit Hund planst kann ich nur sagen: Mückenschutz! (natürlich je nach Fellsituation) Das hatte ich tatsächlich nicht auf dem Schirm. Für uns logischerweise schon und Zeckenschutz für den Hund aber sie hat ordentlich was von den Mücken abbekommen und ist beim Anblick vom ANti Brumm schon immer weggerannt (es riecht auch fies!). Ich glaube Schuhe hätten sie nur mehr genervt und ich hätte Sorge wegen zuviel Feuchtigkeit gehabt. Sie ist gut klargekommen, ich würde das nächstesmal also wieder so machen. Ich hoffe das hilft dir noch :-)

Me too :)

Evelyn at Leopard Horse Ranch in Ava, MO is a wonderful breeder with amazing dogs.

That (killing things, vermin) was one of the main traits they were originally bred for.

Hi, what kind of video project is it? If you mark me as the source and link to my video so that it's recognisable as my work in your video you're free to use it :)

Where did you get Finn? I would love to have an Irish Terrier and I cannot find a breeder in middle TN!!!

We got Finn from an outstanding breeder, Leopard Horse Ranch in Ava, MO. Evelyn loves and cares for her animals and her dogs have excellent pedigrees!

Hello :-) Frida is my first dog so this is not an expert opinion by any means :-D She is now two years old and the training continues. The IT is quite sensitive even when they often appear to be tough. So one needs to be careful with "punishment". Frida is always eager to learn, food/treats help a lot, shes always hungry (which is why you also have to careful not to overfeed. They will just eat and eat). Training seems to go easy when there are no distractions. In the dog training classes she had a very hard time to concentrate because she wanted to greet other dogs and owners and play with them. However her mother, aunt and sister are rescue dogs so I guess it just depends on how much time and effort you actually put into the training ;-) Frida works with teenagers of different ages on a regular basis and does a wonderful job with that. I feel that if your dog trusts you they learn much easier (walking over fallen trees and bridges, metal strair cases, taking the train/bus). Expose Lenny to many different things (noises, movements, smells, animals, etc but also staying with other people overnight) when he is still young so he can become more confident with unfamiliar situations. In the forest it can be a bit tricky because she definitely has a hunting instinct but now I'm able to stop her even if shes a few metres away from me. But at certain times or areas i just put her on the leash to be sure we're not disturbing the wildlife. But: an Irish Terrier is definitely much more independent and not always entirely focused on the owner (unlike Retrievers for example) Training classes can be very good, ok or even very bad. Its not always that obvious in the beginning. And as a first time owner I didnt have the confidence in the bginning to just say: I don't agree with what you're saying/doing and I would like to do this differently. And in the puppy class I always felt that people disapproved of the "terrier" who plays a bit more rough. Oh well. (I guess some dog owners are just like some parents: they all have an opinion about everything :-p) All in all I'm very glad I have this little easy going, energetic and cute companion :-) But training never stops and the Irish Terrier stays quite childish (especially in play situations) for a long time. If not even forever :-D Enjoy your new little family member!

Wow that is such a huge compliment! Thank you. I hope you will enjoy it 😊 Rango is an awesome name by the way.

So how'd it go?

It went great! We had a mini vacation in Germany, drove to the Czech Republic and back and then flew him from Munich to Boston. Just before everything shut down. We love him.

What’s a day like with your I.T? I’m contemplating between the I.T or mini.schnauzer! I’d love to read anything you could provide on what they’re like, should you get one as a first-time dog owner, etc

We are very pleased. Very good natured dog! Our “in-tact” male can be a little loud when meeting other dogs while on the leash. Off leash he will play hard with other dogs until we catch him. He is not as interested in playing fetch like our other dog was. However, he will chase and loves to be chased. At home and after being exercised he is very calm. And every time I come home after being gone for 3 days I’m always impressed with his stunning good looks. He does need to be stripped (“plucked”) every 4 months or so. It’ll be IT’s from now on for us. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I can only Imagine what this must be Like... But I'm glad you could enjoy this 😊

We said goodbye to our 15-year old, Guinness, last month. It was really great to see this video. Kind of like watching him come back to life. Thank you.
