Rough play

[Baymule]

You really should start threads for your dogs. You will go back and read them and realize that they have come so far from where you started.

I certainly am no expert, there are many others way more knowledgeable than me. My dogs have been my teachers, I’m starting to get the hang of it. Maybe in all the failures and successes I’ve had, you can glean something of use to you. Most important word is Patience.

New Pyrenees Puppy!

Last night I was looking at Pyrenees rescues online. DH asked why. Me- I told him that we would have to have another dog, especially when we got sheep and had to keep the ram separate from the ewes. DH- Why? Me- Because you put the ram in when you want the ewes bred or else you never know when...

Sheba

Sheba-A Marvelous Gift

I was contacted by a person wishing to remain anonymous, with an offer of an Anatolian puppy. As I read the generous offer to BJ, we both burst into tears. Because of Sentry’s hip dysplasia and surgery and our decision not to put him through another surgery, this person felt bad for us. Needless...

Good idea about a separate post about training LGDs. I may post the articles I wrote for the Anatolian magazine which talks about the problems we faced since getting out first Anatolian, how we solved them, and what they taught us. When I get time LOL
