Merlin looks great, Sher!! :smile2:

Oh that's cool! I love watching dogs with the Frisbee. Mine just don't get into it. They'll chase a ball, but no Frisbee drive there. :lol: I kind of wish they did, because we'll throw one in the summer, sometimes. It's fascinating to watch the disc dog competitions. I can't see me doing that...

Actually, you would be teaching her to channel that energy. It's just like people that do agility...the dogs learn to jump, but that doesn't mean they're going to jump over a fence, out of a backyard. They learn what is expected them of them when it's expected. When I take Rain, it wears her...

Ok, great. Thanks so much! :smile2: I'm too much of a chicken to go completely raw. :lol: I'm just afraid I'll forget something important, but I have been doing a lot of research on it....just still not comfortable with it enough to convert and don't have a large freezer to store it in yet, so...

Dayna, I have a question for you about this? Which ones do you recommend? At our local grocery store, they usually have a section of "dog bones" in the meat department. In the past, I have bought the pigs feet, but haven't in quite some time, probably about a year or so ago. Can't remember...

It is, and the only true way to find out would be to introduce Ellie to ducks or sheep. You know your Sheltie better than any, and you may have a true "herder" there, but there's no way to know for sure unless you try. I always felt that Rain had it, so after much time searching for somewhere to...

If I remember correctly, didn't Jazz and Rain have several common ones in their pedigrees, Sher?

Sherri and I actually talked in depth about this a few times. Rain shows excellent herding potential. Her trainer went so far as to say that she shows more herding instinct than some Border Collies that she's had come in there. Rain has basically a no name pedigree, but I was able to trace hers...

LOL! Of course! Gotta get those wheels a turning on how to snag the next yummy treat. :lol: I actually have a rolling microwave cart that I use at home, until I can get a true grooming table. My grandmother had it and didn't need it, so offered it to me. I really like it. Now, if I can just...

Just a question, because I may have missed it, but what was the reason behind breeding these two dogs? Was it an accident? I'm just curious, because there is nothing that jumps out as being spectacular in the pedigrees or the photos, plus nothing shows where OFA or any testing has been done at...

Is this fair to the puppy buyers? If Deb should "tend to her own business" then she shouldn't have brought this to the forum to begin with. I've been quiet until now, and I'm not being rude in anyway, so the comment that none of the posts sound nice...well, I hope you posted it at the same time...

I haven't looked at the links posted, but all of our Shelties are great with our 2yr old. We prepared the dogs for her homecoming and continuously work to teach her how to treat them and work with them on how to behave around her. Rain took months and months to get her good around our daughter...

I agree. I've been following this, and I'm in agreement with everyone that these pups and dogs need to be DNA'd. It's not fair to the buyers or the Sheltie breed to refuse to do this. I'm going to leave it at this, because the more I read and the more I look at the pictures, the more aggravated...

Glad to hear the pups are doing well. Nine puppies are a tremendous amount of fun, but a ton of work. We had a litter of nine last year and it wasn't hard until we hit that time in between the mother stopping the clean-up of them and housebreaking. It seemed like all I ever did was clean up...

Congratulations!!! Great job! I'm sorry for my delay in responding. I'm having internet issues due to a virus that we got hit with, but it let me in again, so I wanted to congratulate you. :smile2:
