I met Josh and some other friends in Petersburg to practice conformation handling some dogs. Josh brought his new female puppy, who is now 6 months old, so I could check out her ears. She tore the tape off after 8 days, so he glued them instead of retaping them. I advised Josh to resetContinue reading “Update on Josh’s puppy’s ears”

Greetings! Good thing she was sitting down….
Winston, Clyde and See See can be overly affectionate when greeting old friends. Sharon hasn’t been to visit in about a month, so let’s just say they were enthusiastic.
The boys and See See readjust together
See See has just finished her heat cycle, and I had to keep her apart from the three males in the house. She normally is kept with her two brothers and is fed and exercised with them. During her heat cycle I let her out separately, and she spent time in a crate beside myContinue reading “The boys and See See readjust together”
Taping German Shepherd puppy ears
My friend Josh got a new puppy in August. She is almost 6 months old. One of her ears is really floppy. So today we taped them up. Here are the before and after pictures. When the tape comes off I will take more pictures. Fingers crossed they stand up! Taping is not a guarantee,Continue reading “Taping German Shepherd puppy ears”
Good Morning
This morning I must have been more quiet than usual because I caught the pups and Winston just waking up. It must’ve been a three dog night! I want to emphasize how unusual it is for two adult male GSDs to get along so well. See See will be going into heat within a month,Continue reading “Good Morning”

After the shows, I transported 3 rescues with Whole Lotta Love dog transport out of a groupContinue reading “Clyde the show dog! First point! And transporting rescue dogs again…”
Happy Birthday to Johnny and Jane, Johnny gets BN obedience title, and the beach
Yesterday was a long day! We went to Hampton, Virginia and participated in two dog obedience trials in one day. This was towards the last two legs to get the Beginner Novice title for Johnny. It was also his 9th birthday along with his sister Jane. Between the two shows, Johnny and I went toContinue reading “Happy Birthday to Johnny and Jane, Johnny gets BN obedience title, and the beach”
See See at Crump Park in Glen Allen and a spell check
See See saw a sheep! She was on a leash though, and then there is that whole fence thing, but I think I saw a spark of herding instinct! In case anyone can’t spell German shepherd, remember that they are sheep herders. So it’s not Shephard, Shepard or Sheperd, it’s shepherd. Shephard, Shepard, or SheperdContinue reading “See See at Crump Park in Glen Allen and a spell check”
Dog class and Tiger Woods
Just another day in dog class. Thank you Michael, for the pics! Today we “rotated” dogs, “judges”, and handlers, so that after each dog was examined, that “judge” then took the dog as the handler to the end of the line, and so on. So I got a fresh perspective as a “judge”. The firstContinue reading “Dog class and Tiger Woods”
