Spiderman was out of Molly's final litter by Prewitt's Tuxedo. He was my pick of the litter, and one that I personally desired to hold onto; however didn't. I started Spiderman in foundation training (sit, down, come, stay). Not all pups are ready for this early training at 3 months, however Spiderman was very ready. Soon after I started him, he sold to a local family who claimed to have it all - canine experience, goals and TIME. Unfortunately, Spiderman fell through the cracks of a busy household, and quickly began to create his own jobs out of pure boredom. His jobs, although they seemed appropriate to Spiderman, were every bit short of disasterous - and Spiderman ended up living his life on a chain. The owner called me and explained the situation and also explained that she had given up. Even though my 100% breeder guarentee had already expired at one year; we happily accepted Spiderman's return and also refunded the family. I really don't know who was more happy about all of this - me or Spiderman? When Spiderman was returned, he was an over excited, out of control monster. Day one we stepped back and started the basics all over again. He quickly re-learned everything that I had taught him over a year ago prior. His eye contact came back on me, as he quickly learned that the person looking at him from the other end of the leash was genuinely interested in him & what he was doing. McNabs (as all creatures) MUST be given a true sense of belonging - anything less just will not do. They are a working breed of canine, and thus they must have a *job*. Their job must be a daily event, and not a part-time "When I have time" opportunity. This job may be any type of activity in which the particular McNab enjoys, such as livestock work, daily jogging or hiking companion, disc/frizbee, agility, fly-ball.... and the list goes on. What ever the job may be, one thing remains a fact, and that is that opportunity to work needs to be provided each day. Spiderman is a purebred male McNab (fixed). He is maturing into everything I had hoped & suspected he would since the day he was born. He has developed great strength through his shoulders, powerful hips, strong thigh muscling. At age two, he weighs 40 pounds. Spiderman also has his sire's tremendous nose and is quite the bloodhound with his natural tracking skills. Quick? One of the quickest and his conformation shows why. He is built well. Spiderman and I continue daily training - voice commands, hand signals  and are also training in agility. He's an incredible canine and sure to fill in his mother's shoes as a future superdog or superhero? Check back for additional photos and up-dates
