Leaf being a "normal" golden and Ester was with Johanna at a clicker seminar for puppies and did very well and also got some rest in between and cooling off!!
2x 1st prize Odin & pictures of Lotus & Leaf & Rosa
Odin had an awesome successful weekend. He won 2 first prizes in the winner class of a cold game trial. One more 1st prize and he gets the CH.tittle!!! Pictures of Lotus at home and at puppyclass with sister Leaf at play!! And pictures of Rosa retrieving her first duck and also relaxing at home. Thanks everyone for all the pictures!!!!
All the dogs are put into www.k9data.com under their name, or just Whispering Oaks and then scroll down to find your dog.
Whispering Oaks Layka-calling name Chica is changed to Sieta. It was better sounding for the owners I received some pictures from Holland where Sieta lives and is smelling a freshly shot deer and retrieving dummies.
Rosa retrieving a dummy in high grass & then Henk shot a pigeon and let her retrieve that, but she did like the taste of that, so that needs some work!!
Some playful training pictures of Rosa in Holland with Henk and some at rest and taking her for a bike ride!! Liv in Switzerland decided she needed a rest and climbed herself up on the "Swinging" chair and layed down. Not bad for such a little one!!!
Ester getting water fun & out on the town. This is a quote of what Johanna, her owner said about her experience: translated from swedish:
When one is a little puppy, it is obviously important to
see alot of different things that you will encounter later in life. Much
environmental training may Ester free because we live centrally but one day we
were down in the industrial landscape and the city to get a little extra.
Esther took it all with greater peace than I had expected a small puppy. She
reacted really not anything that (bridges, water was flowing, grid steps,
people, strollers, bicycles, joggers, walkers, trams, buses, street sweepers, litter
bins, tall buildings and a thousand other things that can be intimidating when
you are small) with any than curiosity.=
If this was not a good time for you,for a
puppy!!! I am planning a litter with Gibbs, who is Eli's daughter with
Odin. Since the last puppies of Eli and Odin were such amazing good looking,
intelligent and active puppies with lots of working instinct and will to please
in them, I decided to use Odin for Gibbs also. I am expecting active puppies,
so not suitable for people who are not planning on "doing" something together
with the pup. For more info, please email me.
Halfmoon Destiny of Topbrass "Kelsey" died today at the age of almost 13 years old . We went out this morning for our walk/training and we were along a river, where she loves to swim, which she did and even chased a waterbird and when we got back to the car ,she collapsed at my feet and could not get up anymore. The vet said no reflexes anymore and most certain a blood clot in the brain!! What a bad day, yesterday the last puppy of her daughter left and today she died. Life begins and life ends, the circle is round but life sucks right now. What will I miss her. We have literally travelled the world together, for fun and trials and picking-up!! You will live on through all the wonderful puppies you and your two daughters have put onto this world!!
