What a great morning.? Went to Malibu for herding with Layla.? I decided to bring one of the pups for an instinct test.? The pups are 15-1/2 wks old.? A bit early perhaps, but he is the bully of the litter.? I figured he could handle the new situation.? Besides, I'm still trying to decide which boy to keep :-)? Boy, did he handle it.? It took a couple minutes for him to turn on.? We let him meet one of the sheep, face to face and he gave it kisses.? Then, he just exploded.? He was very grippy, which was a surprise.? Then, one of the rams challenged him and tried to head butt him.? Well, he bit him on the nose.? The ram didn't try that again, LOL!? Moose then picked out the biggest of the sheep and split him from the herd to chase and have fun.? He only lasted less than 10 mins but it was an incredible sight to behold.? He tried to keep the sheep together when they were near me or the Evaluator but mostly he was just having fun. One of the?other students got some neat pics.? Since we can't attach them, email me privately and I will send them too you.??? Laura ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
