Miss Piper makes an appearance:

Bekka took a ton of these photos to get this one. All of the girls are related, and the blue dog just next to her is her auntie (Fury’s mom is her litter sister). 60111_1456674291986_1087207777_31200219_7214487_n

Piper, btw, was so not into the photo taking. :)

And, we have some wonderful Moto updates, too . . .

Is he not the worlds’ most beautiful dog ever? Maybe I am biased because he looks like a male version of Fury and I think she is awfully cute. And I am so proud that they are cute, and structurally correct, and all show good instinct on livestock.

Rippa starts her formal training next month on sheep, and I will be SO stoked to work with her. I love this puppy. She is wonderful in every way. But I keep looking at her like, “What did you get from Fury, exactly, aside from being quirky?” She is still a Ben clone . . .

Yishai and I are lately surrounded by backyard bred dogs from repeat oops litters which is making us feel even more achieved than usual. He is really pushing for a repeat litter (it doesn’t help that Fury has come into heat and we’ve spent a lot of time watching her around the five month old, possibly dysplastic, border collie boy that she is flirting with) . . . we’ll see. Dogs need to be healthy and there needs to be a wait list.

Looking at Moto kind of makes me regret not keeping a dog for myself. I don’t know if I want three dogs in the near future though . . . though Alina is saying she’s planning on keeping him intact . . .

 

And PS . . . Daca is doing awesome!! Stephanie and family are bringing out everything I knew she had in her and she even says she’s doing great in public! No more inappropriate guarding/fear aggression! What a wonder the right handling can do. I knew it, but this proves it. And in so many ways, getting Daca to the Meyers was the best thing that happened to me this year. By far.
