Another Kane

Nap is a Kane son from the Imported Cloud breeding. I named him because I always bet he was going to be the 'sleeper' of the group that would just surprise the heck out of all of us.

Nap is so much like his father ... I have accidentally put him away in his father's kennel more times than one. I have almost placed him a few times ... and something happens (never his fault) and he does not leave. I guess I do believe that saying "All things happen for a reason".

Genetics

A little comment line got going on Facebook today about the genetics of some of the little things our dogs do. Kane's kids and grandkids were the topic. I then went and looked at a few photos and of course ran across a photo of Terry Parrish's Rhys (Kane's grandfather on his sire's side and his greatgrandfather on his dam's side - he is double bred on him).
Yep! Kane reminds me of Rhys. That is something I am very proud to own!!
Kane is my boy ... I adore him greatly, he has taught me a great deal on the trial field, and just about life overall.

CueB x Fog Kids growing up!

Smoke
He is a busy boy that can get himself sucked into working the other dogs if I am not careful. I am now tempted to go ahead and offer him for sale to a home where he will live with less dogs.
He is athletic and a real thinker!!
Slick
I love this boys structure!! He is going to be a good sized boy!!


Talk about DRIVE!! He could play for hours with a hose if I would let him!! However after everyone comes in and relaxes he is right there in your face wanting to be loved on!!





Mist
She is a busy body!!


AND the social butterfly of the group!!!

Happy Halloween!!

Since I have the "little guys" I thought the costumes were appropriate!!
Kane penned his Chihuahua "sheep" with no gripping!!
(for those wondering the Chihuahuas are from left to right "Nessie" one of my hand raised orphans, "Ren" a silly male I am trying to show, and "Chewee" the old man that is a rescue.)

Nessie as you can see thought the costumes were fun!! Chewee on the other hand patiently waited for it to be over LOL!
Hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!!

Canadian National Sheepdog FINALS!!

**File Photo**

I am so thrilled to see that Chris and Mollie did so well at the Finals up in Canada!! (Click on Post Title above for link to the full results. )

Mollie is a pup from my homebred female "Gem" (Imp. Meg x Imp. Risp) and Chris's male "Tag".

Chris and Mollie have a relationship that one can hardly describe ... on and off the field it is a joy to see the two together. (Mollie is a spoiled house dog!!)

Mollie is just over two years old and seems to mature and get better at every trial!! She is "over" qualified for the USBCHA National Nursery Finals (she has a dozen Nursery wins at least)... and she is also qualified in Open at the National Finals this year too!!

Some that read this blog regularly might remember she was the 'baby' that made the double lift finals at the Bluegrass this year too!!

I should also mention that Mollie's daddy "Tag" ran VERY VERY well at the Canadian National finals making the Double lift (knocking Mollie out of the top twelve). Tag finished 5th overall in the Open Finals!!

I am so proud!!!

Hanging out with relatives!!

The pups had a busy week this past week. I made a trip to the UKC Premier show in Richmond, IN (that was a hot one as my AC was not working in the van!). I also took the 'crew' to a friend's sheep farm near Indianapolis.


While at the sheep farm, the pups ran with all the adults. It was a wonderful thing for them to learn to respect their elders (including Grandpa Kane who is in the photo above with some of the pups).

They had a great time and slept soundly all the way home!!

Family comes to visit over Fourth of July!!

I was lucky enough to get to watch one of Cloud and Kane's daughters over the weekend!!
Kane and Cloud were more than happy to open up and welcome back their lovely daughter Bono!!

She was the pup I was SO tempted to keep when she was little!! But a lovely family stepped up and wanted a girl. Bono was a perfect fit for their home.


It was great to see her show 'flashes' of both her hard working parents.


Bono was a joy to puppy sit thru the weekend!!


Of course I had to have a 'family' photo before she went back home!!

Headed home

The pups have begun to head to their homes. So far all accounts back from their new homes have been very positive!!
Holli headed to Iowa where she is staying in the family!! (my cousin has a new buddy and a possible 4-H project!! Good luck Ben!!).


Lindsay and "Juke" are bound for the agility rings (eventually).

Mist goes out on an Adventure.

Mist is the girl I have chosen to keep from CueB's litter. She is a lover and a goof!!

I had to run over the the store to get dog food .... so of course she had to ride along to socialize!!

Here are some videos posted to YouTube of her adventure!! They were just taken quickly on my cell phone ...

She starts off with a little "shopping"

Then she feels the need to try to "taste test" some dog food

Mist loved getting to meet and greet all the employees. Of course they thought she was the cutest thing!!!

Happy Birthday Spirit Puppies!!

It was two years ago today that these wonderful babies were born!! Spirit was accidentally bred (someone - not me let her out with Bill) and it was not something I was happy about!! Then her labor was certainly NOT an easy one!! Twenty two hours later her last two puppies were born at the vet's office (one naturally and the last by c-section).
Then DNA confirmed Bill's 'deed' LOL.
Needless to say these three darling babies are doing great ... all the effort, and tears over this litter was well worth it!! And their loving homes are grateful they are around too!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYS!!!
