18 months. The most fun dog to work with I’ve ever raised; I’ve had dogs that were wide open crazy, dogs that were smart, and dogs that were eager to learn and work cooperatively, but never really all of those things in the same package before.

Ursa, a tricolor Bull Terrier, posing perched on a boulder with woods in the background.

Spiderwood Ursa Minor Serotonin PKD-T, RATI, RATS at 18 months, taking a break from training to pose for a photo on a boulder that was a ‘gift’ from Hurricane Helene last year. We’ve recently started agility classes and he’s doing great. #bullterrier #performancebullterrier #dogsofbluesky

Ursa offering a ‘four feet on’ parkour behavior on a tree stump he found. Poison ivy vines are clearly visible growing across the stump.

I took this picture so that when I break out in a rash a few days from now, I’ll remember why. 😄

Tricolor Bull Terrier standing on top of the two halves of an agility A frame obstacle that is laying on the driveway.

Ursa isn’t sure what this is going to be, but he knows it’s something fun for him! I’m just hoping it doesn’t crush me like a bug when I try to move it.

This picture also reminds me we’re going to need a pause table too.

Ursa earned his RATS (Barn Hunt Senior) title this past weekend! He had a blast. 🙂

Ursa took to the newly built see saw instantly - the moving surface didn’t faze him at all. The real challenge is going to be keeping him from being reckless. We’ll be focusing a lot on slowed-down precision, to start.

Picture of Ursa the Bull Terrier with his back to the camera, standing in the grass at a rest stop staring towards the interstate with mountains beyond showing on the horizon.

Ursa at rest stop on the NC/TN border on our way back from day 1 of 3 day NADM March barn hunt event. He qualified in both of his Open trials, so if he gets one more Q he titles and moves up to Senior. #dogsofbluesky #bullterrier #dogsports #barnhunt #performancebullterrier

Ursa is getting ready to learn some fun new stuff… his parkour and barn hunt experience should make some of this familiar, but the weave poles will be a new thing entirely.
