Kip and Brie and..

Hi everyone! I haven’t posted in a long time, but thought I’d drop in and update on my Shelties.

Kip and Brie are now 3! They get along most of the time and sometimes are stupid brothers together but I think that’s pretty normal. Brie loves life on the farm and is wildly enthusiastic about agility. He takes crazy to a whole new level - in a fun way. Kip is as sweet as ever and earned his first agility titles in 2022. Brie also got his first Q last year and I’m working on getting him ready for the next trial.

In December I got a 7 month old Sheltie pup named Story! He’s now 9 months old and just as crazy as the other boys but sweet as well. He’s a blue Merle and extremely adorable. So now I have 3 Shelties plus 10 year old Jessie, the GSD mix.

 

Yes Story is from the same breeder. I probably won’t get another Sheltie for a few more years but we’ll see

I thought Kip might be a mess at his first trial because he used to get a bit stressed agility fun runs. So I did AKC’s “For Exhibition Only” option for his first run of the day. They let you use a toy and just run for fun. Kip did great so the rest of the day we didn’t use a toy and had all clean runs!! I was shocked. He didn’t get stressed at all and was super excited and focused.

I’ll post some pictures later.

 

This is Story. Basically he’s insanely adorable and too cute to be real. He looks like 2 different dogs stuck together: light blue Merle on one side and black tri on the other. He’s very active and naughty and loves to play. I think he’ll be smaller than Kip and Brie but maybe not by much. He’s 15 lbs right now.

 

Here’s some new pictures of Kip and Brie. The pics with the ribbons are from Kip’s 2nd agility trial and Brie’s first.
