Here is the proof that with the right motivation this is definately true. Here's the sequence of Eshistou giving her paw, waving and giving a high five. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Le standar de l'épagneul de St Usuge dit que le chien est facile à dresser. Voici la preuve que c'est vrai si le chien est motivé. Dans ce vidéo Eshistou donne la papatte, fait coucou et fait 'tape moi en 5'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/J3wIm4JmI5I?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=fr_FR"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/J3wIm4JmI5I?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=fr_FR" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But you also shouldn't make the mistake of thinking that easy to train is a synonym of a weak personality. Eshistou definately knows her mind and knows how to let us know if she doesn't like something although it's never by showing her teeth or any other sign of aggression. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Il ne faut pas confondre facile à dresser avec faible. Eshistou sait ce qu'elle veut et elle sait nous le faire savoir sans jamais montrer ses dents ni montrer un autre signe d'agressivité quelconque. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4132043319968969757-2703124984305579321?l=eshistou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/feeds/2703124984305579321/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/2010/09/fromage.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4132043319968969757/posts/default/2703124984305579321'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4132043319968969757/posts/default/2703124984305579321'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/2010/09/fromage.html' title='fromage'/><author><name>Julie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09588490279012729338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132043319968969757.post-1780407475864911383</id><published>2010-04-30T02:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-30T02:47:08.737-07:00</updated><title type='text'>On heat</title><content type='html'>Eshistou has just come off her second round of being on heat. So for the record, the time between the start of the last one and the start of this one was 7.5 months.

Her &lt;a href="http://www.clemencey.com/vaipperE.html"&gt;Mama&lt;/a&gt;, however is apparently going to have &lt;a href="http://www.clemencey.com/futlits.html"&gt;another litter&lt;/a&gt; at the end of this year (scroll down to the bottom of the page for Vaïpper)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Eshistou vient de terminer ses chaleurs donc pour se rappeler, ses chaleurs sont espacés de 7,5 mois. Si quelqu'un la trouve mignon et voudrais un épagneul de St Usuge, nous voudrions la faire reproduire seulement vers 3-4 ans donc il faudrait attendre encore un peu.

I didn't really understand what she wanted. This nice lady held me and then mummy called me saying 'jump'. There were these tiny fences between me and Mummy. I saw the other dogs jumping over them but I'm smarter than that. Why jump when you can go around or under. Those other dogs are dumb as! But I like this tunnel thingy. You go through it and get cheese. I like that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Ma maman m'a emmené dans le club cynophile Toulois Je n'ai pas trop compris ce qu'elle voulait. Une bonne femme me tenait puis maman m'a appellé en disant 'jump'. Il y avait des barrières entre maman et moi. J'ai vu d'autres chiens sauter par dessus mais moi je suis plus maligne. Pourquoi passer au dessus quand on peut esquiver ou passer en dessous. Ils sont bêtes ces autres chiens! Mais j'aime cette espèce de tunnel. Je passe dedans et j'ai du fromage au bout!

I decided to build her an insulated dog house. This way she can be outside in any temperature and be able to curl up inside and be warm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;P doit laisser Shistou à la maison quand il travaille en groupe donc il a fallu faire une niche pour qu'elle puisse rester dehors, peu importe le temps. La niche est isolée, comme ça elle peut se mettre dedans à l'abri au chaud même quand il fera froid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a recipe of how to make a dog house in 3 days using, in the immortal words of skipper the penguin in Madagascar 2, grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape. Or in this case, using an old fence, leftover floorboards and used pink batts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Voici une recette de niche en se servant de, en utilisant les mots immortels de commandant le pingouin dans Madagascar, du cran, du crachat et un carton bourré de chatertone.

Time for some updates. We hoped and prayed that our little girl would hold off coming into heat until she was 8 months old. That would have allowed us to make the trip down to see her 'grandparents'and then have her time when we got home but her little body clock had other plans and mademoiselle started bleeding the day before we left. We dutifully bought her her first panties which she accepted no problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Wow, comme dirait les romains, tempus fugit. Il est temps de ratrapper. On a prié pour que Eshistou fasse ses chaleurs à 8 mois - après les vacances mais, manque de bol, elle les a commencés le jour avant notre départ. On lui a acheté sa 1e petite culotte et elle l'a accepté sans souci.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U6-9yLFKWyI/SvnTHJMPyFI/AAAAAAAAA_U/nwJBCfVL3A0/s1600-h/aP13-08-09_20.18.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U6-9yLFKWyI/SvnTHJMPyFI/AAAAAAAAA_U/nwJBCfVL3A0/s400/aP13-08-09_20.18.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402581347687450706" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eshistou goes to work every day with her Daddy in his work car so for her the trip was nothing more than another trip in a car. She just did like normal, put her little head down and drifted off to dream world.

She'd been rolling in cow poop and mud and I'll spare you details of the stink! I filled the bath 1/4 full with luke-warm water and put her leash around the taps. I put her in and like the other times when I've washed her paws, she just accepted everything. I had no problems putting water over her body, then using puppy shampoo and rinsing. After washing her, we went outside and played 'dry my puppy' just like after every rain shower. I'm so proud of my little girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Eshistou a eu son premier bain aujourd'hui. Cet aprem elle a roulé dans une bouse de vache et dans la boue, je vous épargnerai les détails de la puanteur! J'ai rempli notre baignoire à 1/4 avec de l'eau tiède et j'ai mis sa laisse sur le robinet. Je l'ai mise dedans et comme les autres fois où je lui ai lavé les pattes, elle a tout accepté.  Aucun problème pour la mouiller, la laver et la sécher dehors après avec un jeu que nous appelons 'sécher mon chiot' auquel nous jouons après chaque pluie.

Until she was 3 months old we'd throw something and she'd look at us like we were nuts. After 3 months she started to chase the thing we'd throw then settle down and start chewing on the object. Now at 4 months she fetches no problems. If she gets distracted then we just say fetch again and she starts looking again. Now we're working on getting her to drop the object at our feet so we don't have to fish anything out of her mouth. It currently works about 50% of the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Eshistou a enfin compris le concepte de raporter quelque chose quand on le jete. (fetch) Avant 3 mois quand on jettait son jouet elle nous regardait comme si on était fous. Après 3 mois elle chassait le jouet et le machoillait sans rapporter. A 4 mois elle reviens avec l'objet. Si elle est distraite on redit le mot fetch et elle se remets à chercher. Maintenant nous travaillons une technique de la faire cracher le jouet pour ne pas avoir à le chercher dans sa geule. (le mot 'drop'). Ca marche à 50% en ce moment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4132043319968969757-8449442266233287326?l=eshistou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/feeds/8449442266233287326/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/2009/05/fetch.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4132043319968969757/posts/default/8449442266233287326'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4132043319968969757/posts/default/8449442266233287326'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/2009/05/fetch.html' title='fetch'/><author><name>Julie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09588490279012729338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132043319968969757.post-6976544431843069490</id><published>2009-05-06T22:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-06T22:26:49.006-07:00</updated><title type='text'>intelligence</title><content type='html'>Eshistou is a smart wee thing like most gun dogs.

Now that for us was unacceptable as she knows we don't get up before the alarm at 7. So we decided that as the weather is getting better and she has access to the wood shelter if it's raining, that if she cries in the morning, she goes outside until 7. We did that for 2 days and funnily enough now, she waits until she hears the alarm to come to the door!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Réçamment Eshistou a commencé à pleurer devant la porte à 6h20 du matin. Pour nous ce n'était pas bien parce qu'elle sait qu'on ne se lève pas avant le réveil à 7h. On a donc décidé que pleurer sera son signal qu'elle veut sortir. Il commence à faire mieux le matin et elle a accès à l'abris bois s'il pleut. Elle a donc passé 2 jours dehors entre 6h20 et 7h. Bizarrement le 3e jour elle nous embête plus!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4132043319968969757-8315491398096795223?l=eshistou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/feeds/8315491398096795223/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/2009/04/crying.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4132043319968969757/posts/default/8315491398096795223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4132043319968969757/posts/default/8315491398096795223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/2009/04/crying.html' title='crying'/><author><name>Julie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09588490279012729338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132043319968969757.post-77852869505764512</id><published>2009-04-27T04:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-30T22:45:29.783-07:00</updated><title type='text'>sit</title><content type='html'>Just as a note, we're training our dog in English. It makes it interesting to watch our friends telling her to sit in French and she just sits there with a puzzled look on her mooche. In fact, Eshistou is getting really good at sitting before her meal is given. Now we only have to give the command once and she sits squarely on her 2 cheeks and won't get up to eat before we leave the area. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Juste pour information, on dresse notre chien en anglais. Ca fait pour des situations intéressantes quand nos amis lui disent "assis" et elle les regarde d'un air 'mais il est fou celui-là' Mais en rélité, elle sait très bien s'assoir avant de recevoir ses croquettes. Maintenant on n'a qu'à lui dire sit et elle s'assoit bien sur ses 2 fesses et elle ne se lève pas avant qu'on parte de la gamelle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She still hasn't quite got the hang of sitting when there is a new person around. She gets distracted by asking for hugs and doesn't think of what you're saying but I say for 3 months she's not doing too badly!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Elle n'a pas compris le truc quand il y a quel qu'un de nouveau à la maison. Elle est distrate par la nouvelle personne et ne pense pas à l'ordre mais je dis que pour 3 mois, c'est pas mal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4132043319968969757-77852869505764512?l=eshistou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/feeds/77852869505764512/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/2009/04/sit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4132043319968969757/posts/default/77852869505764512'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4132043319968969757/posts/default/77852869505764512'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/2009/04/sit.html' title='sit'/><author><name>Julie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09588490279012729338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132043319968969757.post-1933992163126178015</id><published>2009-04-26T10:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-26T10:40:15.148-07:00</updated><title type='text'>lettre</title><content type='html'>Dear masters,&lt;br /&gt;I'm writing to make you aware of my disagreement with your hypothesis that not everything is a toy.

I'm a St Usuge spaniel, living in the North-East of France. I was born on the 13th of January 2009 in the Gironde at the Moulin de Clemencey. I love going to work in the forest with my Dad and following my Mum everywhere in the house. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Salut à tous, je m'appelle Eshistou du Moulin de Clemencey. Je suis un épagneul de St Usuge qui habite le nord-est de la France. Je suis née le 13 janvier 2009 dans le 33 au Moulin de Clemencey. J'aime aller travailler avec mon Papa en forêt et suivre ma Maman chez nous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Hbb814B8kPU&amp;hl=fr&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Hbb814B8kPU&amp;hl=fr&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I came to live here when I was 2 months old. The first night was really harsh. I screamed and howled. My auntie luckily breeds Golden Retreivers and she told my parents to sleep on the couch the first night to help me settle in. After a week of me crying all night, every night I finally realised that someone would come get me when the night was over and ever since I'm fine until about 7am. Too bad for their sleep-ins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Je suis venue vivre ici à 2 mois. La première nuit était d'enfer. J'ai pleuré. Heureusement, ma tata elève des goldens et elle a conseillé à mes parents de dormir sur le canapé pour m'aider à m'installer. Après une semaine de pleures toute la nuit, toutes les nuits, j'ai compris que quelqu'un allait venir me chercher après la nuit et sepuis tout va bien jusqu'à 7h et tant pis pour la grasse mat de mes parents!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love playing with the neighbour who's a golden retreiver-labrador cross. I also love tissues and chewing on dried pig ears. I'm now 3 months old and I'm pretty much house broken. I have accidents every now and then, especially when there's a big group of people who come to the house for dinner. Who would want to leave all these interesting people to go for a pee?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;J'aime jouer avec le voisin qui est un croisé golden-labrador. J'aime aussi les Kleenex et macher les oreilles de porc. J'ai maintenant 3 mois et je suis presque propre. Je fais rarement à l'intérieur, surtout quand il y a beaucoup de monde et je veux jouer avec toutes ces personnes au lieu d'aller faire pipi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So every now and then I or my parents will give info about me on this blog so learn about this wonderful, rare breed with us all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Donc de temps en temps moi ou mes parents donneront de mes nouvelles sur ce blog donc apprenez sur cette race belle et rare avec nous tous.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4132043319968969757-3872585368475258286?l=eshistou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/feeds/3872585368475258286/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/2009/04/introductions.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4132043319968969757/posts/default/3872585368475258286'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4132043319968969757/posts/default/3872585368475258286'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eshistou.blogspot.com/2009/04/introductions.html' title='Introductions'/><author><name>Julie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09588490279012729338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
