Kilt and Dutch are playing nurse for Mid ,who had to undergo knee surgery!! And of course like every puppy I know, Kilt also loves to retrieve crocs!!!! What is it with those shoes?? the material or the fact that they are so nice and light!!!
With the warm weather finally in Austria, it was time for Kaya to learn to swim. Well obviously that did not take long. She just swam to the yellow toy as if she had never done anything else and retrieved it So that was that, for a quick learning experience! And she and Morris had fun in the water!
I got some new pictures of the female orange of the north of Holland. All sounds like it is going well and they are training for their Diploma C, which is something you start with in Holland and is needed to compete. Good Luck Rones!!!
Yesterday I went to Holland to deliver the pedigrees to Kjeld and Fitch. Unfortunately Fitch and Family were still on vacation, but Kjeld was home and greeted me outside laying on his back, happy to see me. He is getting curls and growing up to be a nice boy.He is living with Faust, his 12 years old golden Buddy and 2 bunnies and he just lets them walk loose in the yard and he thinks that is just fine!!!! Pictures to show him!!
After I left Kjeld, Frenny and Annouk went to take him swimming, since the weather was finally nice. Well, as you can see on the pictures , he learned fast and seemed to enjoy it very much. Next the surf board Kjeld !!!!
I received an email from Katrin, who did a Heli & mountain weekend and a Searching in Wreckage training with 5 month old Kaya and wanted to share that with you al'l. Below is part of Katrin's email to me about the training and the pictures speak for itself, enjoy!!!
The way down from the mountain was really heavy - for me
more then for her we walked about 8 hours, Kaya was sitting in the backpack
for a while, then walking again, again a break in the backpack - she was doing
good. I think she is related with a goat! Nothing can fear her - there were
sections with deep gaps and it was going cliffy downhill - some of the mature
dogs and also the other puppy went whining from time to time because they were
afraid to go down the cliffs, Kaya was waging with her tail and going down for
herself - it was awesome - wish that you could have seen that! Unfortunately we
have no pictures of the walk down, the weather was terrible, 4 degrees, fog and
raining, I had no time to take pictures, it was more important to look at the
dogs and ourselves.
