So the new puppy arrived a day late. It was too cold for her to fly into Minneapolis. The delay had Kathey headed back to the Spokane airport and me the 3 1/2 hour drive back to Buffalo on Saturday. US customs apparently thought I was strange going to pick up a puppy from the airport so they searched the car. No illegal anything so I was cleared to go pick her up.
She was there waiting in the Northwest office keeping the attendent company. The attendent thought she was the cutest and most well behaved puppy ever.
On Sunday I worked Spec at around 4. I was thrilled with her work. She is stopping, lying down and balancing beautifully. The only time she will grip is if i'm somehow in the middle of the pack of sheep...The picture is all wrong. She will lie down on balance and her pace gettin
g up is very nice. She reminds me of her sire Preacher (one of John's dogs) in her work. Her lie down is about 100% better than her mother Pam (my dog). John worked Preacher on driving afterwards while I did chicken coop chores. Than he did some grain for the sheep and I worked Libby (my bitch from Sam Furman on the right ) on staying on the flank I ask...despite pressure to the gate. She has a bad habit (probably that i developed) of trying to always stop the pressure to the exhaust...even if i want it that way. Finished training and it was still light...Spectacular!

Finished training and it was still light...Spectacular!The new puppy...who doesn't have an official name yet, was watching with John and she was very keen. She even rounded the outside of the pen to see if she could get a better vantage point. I may take her into the pen soon to see how she does. She won't begin training until she is 8 months to a year old, depending on how she is progressing.
Pictures to come of the new pup...names..hmmm, we don't love the name Zoey but are looking at Soot, Smut, Queen and are open to suggestions. The camera batteries need replacing and that'll be a project!
Only 6 more weeks until spring...
Preacher, out of Joyce Geiers Brass and Louise Tackaberry's Clare
