Hahaha! Yes! He wuvs his daddy but daddy only tolerates him. Lots of putting in their places from mom and dad the past week. Mom will run behind them tearing through the house and puts her mouth over their shoulders/neck and pushes their faces into the carpet. Rumely just puts them in their place for when it comes to the pecking order if they get too out of control or attempt to take things from the older dogs. It has been phenomenal to watch mom and dad teach them proper "pack" behavior. He is totally patient for being daddy.

Well, it looks like we will be adding in another "Snubian" to the herd very soon. Tilda's sister, Daisy, was brought to my attention by a good friend of mine who bought her and Ollie's sister as well. She mentioned that she plans on selling her and knowing how Tilda is, knowing Daisy and how my friend is as well as knowing the moms outstanding milk production we opted to take her on. She is half Nubian and half Sanaan and according to what I have heard and read, they have outstanding milk and production to boot. She'll also be a yearling March 3rd so that means milk and babies from her, Olive and Tilda come late spring, not just 2 does. We had planned on only expanding into papered Nubians for the Butter fat content they have but if SNubians have great milk too, we are all in. It is only 2 and I know where she came from, how she is and how she is handled already so I can not complain on that!

Any time. Just have to get a stall set up for her. WHat do you think the odds are that the sisters will remember each other?
