You can see in this video that he is persistent, and he has a complete natural retrieve. The very first time I threw a ball for Johnny when he was a baby, he brought it back and dropped it in my hand. Fun fact: A complete natural retrieving instinct is the highest correlating characteristic forContinue reading “Johnny retrieving his ball”

Dog class
When I tell my friends and family that I’m going to dog class they often ask me if I’m learning how to be a dog. Haha. What really happens is that the dogs are learning how to behave at a dog show. It’s not an obedience class, and I’m not learning how to train. It’sContinue reading “Dog class”
8 years ago….
I had a litter of puppies out of Nellie in October, 2013. Johnny and Jane’s sister went to a family in Canton, Ohio eight years ago today. They named her Maggie. Here are pics of Maggie when she was first adopted and now. They already had a male Shepherd and he is over 10 yearsContinue reading “8 years ago….”
Beautiful Connemara
Connie’s owner sent this lovely pic she took by the lake. She says Connie is fascinated by the ice.
Chief pics!
I just got these pics of Chief, formerly known as Mustang. He was the only longhaired male in the litter. He was one of the smallest in the litter when born. His owner says he now weighs 93 lbs. and is 27” at the shoulder. He is going to be big like his sire, Cash,Continue reading “Chief pics!”
The Reunion!
See See’s heat cycle is officially over after 28 days. I took her to Tractor Supply for a thorough bath and drying to get all the scent off (only $10, use of towels and dryer, and I don’t have to bend over my tub). I brought her back to be reunited with her brothers, whoContinue reading “The Reunion!”
Mud, mud, mud, and mulch…
It’s that time if year, when the mud us ridiculous, the dogs track it in, and it gets everywhere. My solution is mulch. It’s not perfect, but it is cheap and relatively easy. Here are some before and after pics of the small area I had fenced in for See See. Before…. After… Here’s theContinue reading “Mud, mud, mud, and mulch…”
Can’t we all get along like these two?
Winston is nearly three years old. Clyde turns 1 year old on February 6th. I can’t get over how well these two guys can work things out. Here they are eating and playing together. In the second video you can see that Winston is dominant and occasionally disciplines Clyde. And Clyde responds submissively in anContinue reading “Can’t we all get along like these two?”
German Shepherds in the snow!
See See and Clyde were born in February, but didn’t see the snow because they were infants when it snowed last year. This is a lot of snow for a first romp! The older dogs are used to lots of snow, being born in WV. They also spent time in Ohio, with many sub zeroContinue reading “German Shepherds in the snow!”
More pics!
I forgot to include this great pic of Pony, now known as Cash. This is Jean, now known as Bea. She was from Jane’s second litter, so she is almost two. This is “Grandma” Nellie, enjoying the pink chaise lounge. If you have pics of Jane’s puppies, I would like to post them. Please sendContinue reading “More pics!”
