new toy!! Sleeepppp I TOLD you - do NOT do that again!! puppy appeal ...

Rotten job - but someone has to do it > Be Calm training .....

hankdog - good question :)

there are various types of grapevine - probably orange trees, then a background of native mallee . Always looks so pretty :)

Yesterday, The Boss made a spiffy new puppy kennel for the scruffers , and they were moved in earlier today Poor Dulcie can now have some time alone ..they sought her out, wherever she tried to get some peace .. ( see first photo! poor girl) ..she has an access panel so she gets to choose when she visits.and they can start learning about what being bush dogs is all about .

SPRING - vines/trees around town are all sprouting new growth .

...'night ...

keep us posted :)

OK - maybe contact UNDERDOG training or INline k9 both are very professional and D O L members . as to muzzles - ...maybe look at these JAFCO ones ? LINK having a muzzle on , as you know, will not change your dog's attitude ....he will still be aggressive , and strong, and a risk. have you tried him with a collar instead of a harness ?

they are , none of them, meek & mild (except maybe the little Princess Womble, black one ) ! Everyone is climbing/running/dragging others around by the ears ....barking at birds..... *sigh* working dogs :)

No ...I am already getting "the ' look

They are growing nicely ...tomorrow I MUST build a pen . They are everywhere - and 5 free ranging is 4 too many accidents waiting to happen.Their mum will be a bit miffed - she enjoys this MUCHFOOD happening idea ;) No more special treats - working her down over the next couple of weeks to no more cheese /cream /turkey necks .......it's THEIR turn now :)

Doesn't sound good at all sorry ...

BIG day today - eating food and drinking water :) Not a problem with either I like easy weaning! Merle princess womble - and Smoke merle Puddenhead

he,he,he .. :)

So - apart from throwing up every time he travels in the Boss's 4WD - he is doing OK .Yesterday was "sitting on the motorbike without wriggling" day ...and eventually he got the idea - . At one stage , The Boss dropped him off into the prickles - just to show him he had a choice ...Smoke decided the Motorbike was a wiser bet . He shared the petrol tank with Indi ..who sort of stood/sat over him , and apparently was OK for the next 5 hrs or so of work time . The only , ermmm.... problem was when he stood up, nose pointed, paws on the handlebars , tail wagging ... and ready to go ... The Boss thought , by some miracle, he had a 'goat finder'..but, no - it was Apostlebirds , who Smoke chases /barks at here in the yard all the time . oops. :oThe Boss is being quite patient :)

Jardii - aboriginal word meaning front/first

I also suggest speaking with whoever bred your pugs :)

Glad he's had a rest :)

How are things now ?

That's a fair amount of concentration/skill for exactly 4 weeks - we are hoping he will stay that way!! :)

jeff - showing us he wants to a fence climbing working dog ;) ( maybe )

he spent all doay with The Boss today - and managed to manage a runaway billygoat quite well - climbing over prickle bushes and logs to 'eye' the goat and head it back toward the yard :)

yeah sadly a merle/merle mating ... which we hoped would work, as wags is almost black, with dark eyes/points - and just a white strip on chest . So we get almost the exact breakup of colours predicted. Thankfully no albino..and I 'think ' puddenhead has bothe hearing and sight - tho maybe not 100% ( which isn't important for a photographich model, really ;) ) oops - did I just say that?

The parents work sheep and goats ..I know one of these will be an allrounder, plus truck work :) One will be just sheep ... single photos ? geee.... how 'bout early baby pics for now ?.
