The puppy is doing great.  He is coming along well with obedience, but he is going to be a stubborn little joker.  He's earned the nickname Asher the Crasher, because he goes full tilt into everything!

Here are a few pictures and vids.

Not sure how I startled him.

Ambushing his cousin/bassett hound buddy. They will play for hours!

Trying to look all cool with his ears up, and Range laughing at him. 

Pretty dog.
