Slim is Sold and other updates

Slim is sold!

It did not work out for Pip to be a goose dog, he just did not see the geese as something to work. I am considering a pet home for him or an agility home. If interested let me know. He also might make a cattle dog, but don't have any cattle to try him on.

Nick has bred Jill, not actually planned, but very excited about the litter. Laddie, the singleton pup from the first litter looked awesome on sheep New Years. Jill had an ultrasound yesterday and 3 live pups were seen, there were 2 other areas that showed that pups were reabsorbed. So we are hoping that the 3 pups seen will safely arrive around March 1. At this time I don't expect any pups will be available unless they are all males, Nancy M is really really hoping for a bitch pup to name Callie. Callie is a small petunia flower. Nancy M's nickname for Wattie, the grandmother of the litter, is Petunia, so if there is a bitch pup it will be little Petunia aka Callie.

No dog training going on here, too much snow and now ice added to it. Going to visit my mother in Florida and hit one of the trials while there. Should be interesting as the dogs will not have been worked for over a month!

Have been looking at Spring trials. Plan to make Sherry Smith's Long Shot trial and Dave Fetterman's Borders on Paradise trial. Have also sent my entries in for the Blue Grass. If Huck is ready, Vergil Holland will be running Huck in nursery at the Blue Grass. Go Huck!

It should be an exciting spring!
