Burr Season

This could almost be burrrr (as in cold) season, since we're getting pretty close to frost some nights now, but I am referring to those sharp, prickly, sticky, messy burrs that get into the feathering of our beautiful dogs.

Chester happened to find a whole bunch of burrs on our run at the dog park today. He got some little black sticky ones - some small sharp, prickly green ones - and some big, brown sharp,prickly ones. A real nice combination of messy stuff.

updates

Hi All, Been ages since I was here, need to catch up on the topics and such. Our litter of seven by Carousel's Just for Fun out of Can Ch Palarset's Spring Fling has begun to go to their new homes. We are keeping the pink girl - tentatively her name is Russell's Isobel - not sure yet, call her Belle, or Izzy, or???? Need to live with her awhile longer to see what suits her. My husband Ken is going to co-own her so he got to choose her name. We have one girl left in that litter, she is a…

Double CACIB in Debrecen (Hungary) - 25th and 26th August 2007

I think I might be a bit late, but I am still new here at E.S. so this is my latest story that I am very glad with and would like to share :)

My Sarah became 2 years old in July so from than she can't be entered but into Open Class. I think she is too young at the moment to compete with the 'big girls', she needs some time for getting ready for it and I would not like to show her for a while. On the other hand…

Hunting season is behind the corner

Our training sessions have gone thru beautifully in a bright autumn weather.

We´re not allowed to shoot grouse yet, but by using a startpistol I can give the dog a feeling of a very bad shooter :-)

It does change size as the River flows into the sea between the dog beach and the people beach and it moves with the tide, becomes deeper or shallower, fast flowing or sluggish. The river is the boundary…
