English: I have great news about Ajax. Ajax, handlet by Atle Skarsvåg, ran in herding trail class 1 yesterday, and passed the herding test as well. Congratulations ! Ajax is a son of our Astra Babe and Rick.

Here is the film of Ajax’s first lesson at sheep, few days before Atle Skarsvåg bought him. And now they have already been at their first trail. I don’t have any new film of him yet.

As I have told you before Zena is not pregnant. I brought her to the vet. just to make sure this was correct, and it was, she is not pregnant.

The Babe pups are growing well, eat, sleep and seem satisfied. Babe has been out with the gang for a long walk today, I belive she enjoyed to be out running again.

Here is the film I promised from Zac herding. Zac had hard work with these sheep, as they were shy from people and dogs.

English: Zac is the farther to our upcomeing litter with Babe, and as I promised I would bring you a film of Zac herding. I found a film at my old computer from 2009 😉 I have a film at my new computer too, I will upload that one later.

And because nobody has seen Babe at sheep I decided to bring her to the sheep few days ago. Babe is not trained and she has hardly ever seen the sheep apart from a few times when she was young. Whow what a natural talent this girl is, she just did it and everything was there … (but we had to be careful as she is six week pregnant).

English: Hipscore A for Ajo (Astra Babe x Rick) and Rikke (Astra Rikky x Shep). And our own LYN (Sky x Nickita) got A hips. Great !

BABE is pregnant … Last week I took a film of Zac (father to Babe’s upcoming litter). The film is of Zac herding, but my “newest” computer ended up smashed at the floor, so in the meantime I have uploaded a film from my old computer, a film of Zac (with friends) haveing some great fun.

Norsk: Det er “skummelt” å ha web. side og sikkert enda “skumlere” å ha en blog, og heldigvis har jeg ingen facebook konto. Det jeg skal frem til er at det er fort gjort å hylle noen og glemme noen andre. Om så skulle skje så er det i så fall ikke med mening eller med overlegg, da er det rett og slett fordi jeg ikke lever mitt liv gjennom pc’n og ikke skaffer meg  all info om stort og smått.

Ajo (Astra Babe x Rick) er røntget HD fri, og Rikke (Astra Rikky x Shep) det samme. Og vår egen LYN (Sky x Nickita) fikk A hofter. Veldig bra ! Ajo er nok en hund som på sikt vil bli pappa til ett av våre kull, han likte jeg fra dag en.

Når det er sagt så kan jeg fortelle at jeg føler meg rimelig sikker på at Babe er gravid. Og i den forbindelse så tenkte jeg å presentere bl. annet Zac litt mere, men så var det dét med data’n min; I disse dager er min nyeste pc på reparasjon fordi lille Cadi snublet i ledningen mens vi lekte og herjet rundt i butikken. Jeg har en film av Zac på gjeting som jeg skal legge ut.

Jeg hadde med meg Zac på litt gjeting forrige uke når været var så flott og da tok vi en film. Zac hadde en skikkelig utfordring med svært så flyete sau og jeg synes han klarte seg bra tatt forholdene i betraktning. Men, den filmen ligger på den pc’n som er til rep. Hadde tenkt å filme Babe også, men når jeg så hvor krevende sauene var så turte jeg ikke å la Babe, 5-6 uker på vei med valper, få gjete på dem.

Så da får dere nøye dere med en annen film som jeg fandt på den gamle pc’n. En film som så abolutt viser Zac (med venner) i ett av hans/deres rette element.

Film 22. September 2010

English: This is Rick’s first lessons at sheep. And the other film is Rick’s daughter Meg (Zussi x Rick) that has found her own way of herding.

Took this film just for fun 😉

Husker dere den dagen det var sol i sommer 😉 Da tok jeg denne filmen for morro skyld 😉 Tidvis gjete-psykose på mine herlige små, men vi koser oss i vår “lille gale” hundeverden … så sånn kan det se ut når vi går på tur.

This is Blue Sky learning more about herding

Blog 12. July 2010

English: Well, there’s summer and for many people also holyday. My two last weeks has been more play, fun and walk with our dogs then training. And also some extra work in my pet shop because of some changes with the building. I managed to damage Tom-Erik’s computer last week, so therefore few updates in this blog lately.

We have done some herding with the youngest; Kane, Fly, Cadi, Babe, Lyn and Curly. They all seem to have potential, and were natural when working. 

I just thought this picture was a litle funny, illustrating various shadings of brown colours.  

Yesterday I took a few films of some of our dogs, just for fun 😉

English: I have problems with my computer nowadays, therefore no blogs during the last week. We had some private tuition by Alexander Strøm last monday, and got some advice about futher training with Sky. This is a film of Sky taken summer 2009, just if you want to have something to look at. I will take a new film of him during our training this summer (and when my computer is online again).

Video 28. June 2010

English: We took a film of Teg and Pride herding 27. June 2010. Teg has not been on sheep the last years but still going strong.

English: This is out Rick, and he is learning lay down because I am soon going to do some herding with him and therefore he needs a stop command. He is also training “avenue slalom” (training weave).

English: This is our Ice, and she is learning to sit and stay there in front of the Tyre Jump … Just an example about what you can do with your dog if you have a small space in your garden.
