Sammi And Loki Playing In The Rain

In Annie Bean's Beautiful Garden. 

A Certain Standard Of Decorum Eh Jezi!!!!

Maybe Not Then!!!

Babies At Play Yesterday

Loki and Sammi in the field yesterday afternoon and a stunning photo of Sammi captured watching her mum. 

Loki's 8 Month Old Pics

Not looking at his best but ... 

Just for my records! 

Three Had An Extra Walk ...

...And I had a treat.

 The nursery in Tremadog is one of my favourite places. Having spent a lot of time there as a child I love to go back. Living here I do miss woodland, especially in Spring when the floor is carpeted in Bluebells!

Eight Months Old Today

My baby boy Loki is 8 months old today ... he's a typical teenage boy, tall, lanky and just a little bit naughty. (and he's chucked his coat) But what a sweet, gentle and kind boy he is. So easy after his big sister Sammi and all her naughtynessess! Looking forward to seeing some of his siblings again in 2 weeks time as they are coming to watch us at a show. (Hope we don't get nervous with the audience!)
I can't get Loki weighed today as it's bank holiday, I doubt I would be popular if I went knocking on the surgery door! lol. But I guess he won't be over 33kg. (Actually his dad's weight when he arrived here at 17 months) I have measured him of course. Yeah 65cms - so time to stop growing upwards now young man! As an adult Dexi was 66cms, Simba 67cms and as we know Kai was almost 69cms. Dexi got away with it, Kai didn't! Nico is about 63.5cms (Actually bang on the "ideal" height for a male) and Mikey is 65cms. Though Nico is longer and heavier built than Mikey.
Sammi and her brother Barney are both over size and Barney is being knocked for it in the ring, so far Sammi seems to get away with it. Neither Nico or Ziva are tall animals, both very close to the standard for their sex, so where does the size carry from? I always blamed Kai - through his grandfather Saber Vom Steffen haus, who actually carries on both sides on the "I" litters pedigree. So maybe a dog to try and avoid for future plans? Though he does seem to turn up the pedigree of almost ever dog I like!
So will Little Legs get any taller? Well maybe a fraction, he may do a Dexi, or even a Simba but not a Kai! He still has a hell of a lot of growing and maturing to do, but I am hopeful that the majority of his going "up" is now over. Though I'm enjoying the puppy I can't wait to see what the mature adult will look like!

Third Walk

Walk three had us back in the mist at Cwm Dulyn. Still it was so beautiful there and the dogs loved it! 

Loki, Sammi and Ziva 

Second Walk

Same camera, but the quality of the photos are better due to it being dry and even a little sunny in Gyrn Goch! 

Tali, Asha and Mikey.

This was their first visit to this place. 

They could not contain their excitement

It was lovely to watch them having so much fun! 

First Walk ...

Damp, a little drizzly but much milder than yesterday. 

Not the best pics with the Samsung camera, but not risking the other in the damp! 

Nico, Finlay and Jezi

That'll Learn ya!

Loki

Sammi 

A lovely but somewhat cold day at Anglesey C.S. Loki was 1st in PG, BPIB and Pastoral Puppy Group 2 - Sammi 1st in Limit, BOB and Pastoral Group 4 - Jezi 1st in open. Thanks to everyone who shared the day with me, and to Tracy who handled Jezi.

So chuffed with Loki, his behaviour was impeccable again today and he managed to win a class of three, with one of the exhibits in the class being an adult! So much for going just for the experience - well "that'll lean ya" - as the song goes!!!

Sammi was her usual self, a touch OTT outside the ring, but showed to perfection! 

Jezi handled by Tracy did me proud too. Lovely to watch her win her class, though it all went arse about tit when I returned into the ring for the challenge with Sammi. Still in my opinion, coat or no coat the best of my three was BOB.
