Whilst walking today I came across a lady from Groeslon with a GSD and a crossbreed. Over the years I've regularly seen her in the distance, but we've never ended up close enough to chat before. We knew a lot of the same people in the breed, and not necessarily just in this area. She seemed to know more about me than I did about her, some mutual acquaintances as well as friends! She liked Siska, she said she was beautiful, but she was very impressed with Orin, saying his unexaggerated shape and size were exactly what she considered correct in the breed. She asked if I was still breeding? I chose to just tell her about the Orin X Mattie mating and as she had recently lost her older female she was interested. She said she had a habit of dithering over decisions and missing out, so the fact that this mating had only just happened gave her a long time to think about it. As I told her, it's far too early to know if Mattie is pregnant, but, well, here's hoping!
I have to say I was very impressed with all 4 dogs who stood there quietly whilst we chatted, and I observed she was also using Flexi leads. We both agreed times have changed too much to take risks!
My nutjobs entertained me as usual on their walk. I have to say, though they are naughty, they are fun!
