Trisven13 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Wow - all fantastic pics but the ones of the rescue pup (sorry - can't remember which one Dogdaz) are just awesome - truly brought a tear to my eye to see her doing what she was meant for when I truly thought she was destined for the green dream. Well done, well done, well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdayz Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Dogdayz - Sky, your dog was magic to watch, she needs calmer sheep next time - I'll organise it because I'd like to see her develop. That pup was amazing, suicidal but still amazing. Must be the heeler in her. This dog deserves a good home - someone on this list please grab this dog, she is loads of fun. Unfortunately Skye with quiet sheep shuts down - she likes to chase the breaking ones down. Belle was somewhat breathtaking - waiting to see if she would emerge alive or not - she is a fearless little thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickyp Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Nickyp and Emmy - You can cross the heeler with a kelpie but you can't take the heeler out. Who'd believe that energy was hidden away in that sweet little pooch. Even Scout looked amazed at the power behind that dog. Oh I know all about the energy in that little pooch !! And it doesn't get any less as she gets older. She's running around the yard looking for something to play with this morning as if she'd done nothing all day yesterday. Seriously, it was fantastic to see Em "ON" and getting into it, even if the biting is not what we wanted. In hindsight, I shouldn't be surprised that she was biting the sheep to make them move, that's her way - sniff, poke it with your nose, then bite until you get a reaction. And she got a reaction. At the end I felt she was starting to stop and look to me for direction and I just wasn't ready to give it, so I've definitely got a bit of work to do. I should have taken the opportunity to work with Tuppy when it was offered, but I was enjoying watching too much at the time. Next time (and there will be a next time) I'll definitely take you up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedds Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Pics out in the bigger paddock, with more sheep. I'll try to post at least 2 of each dog, so this is gonna take a while. Sorry. First up here is Tuppy, having a big pant and waiting for her 'dad' David to let her have more sheepies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedds Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Dont know what DD thought, but I thought Skye looked great out in the big paddock. Here she is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedds Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 This one you can hardly see her. She is at the back, bringing them along, all on her own. No other dog is helping her here at all. Just Skye and mum, bringing the sheep home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedds Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 (edited) Being able to work with one of Davids dogs, or Geoff's Rosie, really made a difference to the dogs who were still getting the hang of things..... Didnt take Connor long. Teamwork! Edited for right pic, sorry. :D Edited December 12, 2005 by Hedds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedds Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 And then there are the shooperstars. :D Fox didnt need any help. Either did his mum. They were off on their own from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
