Why do I insist on group pictures with the dogs?!?

We went out to the park the other day to try to get some "family" pics. We used to pose them ALL TOGETHER but that was such a disaster with so many young ones that now we do them in sets LOL

My personal pack and I (fiance and I have "his" and "her" dogs...)

But before that...came Kastle's impression of being utterly insane...Eden looking pissed off as all get out and Limit looking suitably intense - he will have his picture taken now, please!

There were numerous others that I decided not to keep based on the frustration factor! LOL

We didn't get far with Jason's dogs...there are these two:

And then Ike got too over-excited about PHOTOS OMG AND GRASS OMG AND PARK OMG AND I LOVE TO RUN! and started squishing everyone in sight so there was no group photo.

But, there was a half-brothers photo...or several.

*more*

Then Ike tried to squish Kastle and we got some of this...

I should mention here that Ike is 92 lbs and Kastle is 62 lbs...

Retaliation!!!

Can't we all just run in peace and harmony?

*more*

Obligatory Kelpie puppy shots...

A little bit of crazy...

A little bit of sweet....

A little bit of OMG HOW CUTE IS HE!?

I swear he looks way bigger than he is!

Ears are coming up!

Is Limit wearing a bandanna collar? Perfection!!

Wow... what awesome pictures and gorgeous dogs you guys have!

I have such envy for Limit!! He looks like a fun, happy guy! Also, you should attempt a group shot and I want to see the out-takes.

That last one with the little Kelpie smile is adorable!

Those pictures are adorable! They really show each of the dogs' personalities!

I love this one!



:rofl1:

The pose and expression on Jason's BC's face is priceless! Like "let me go hooman! I have important things to attend to!"

Love them! I can't imagine how challenging it must be to try and get decent photos of everyone - the outtakes are always the best though I love Limit's intense look - he is a poser already!

The joy of posing for family portraits

You guys have such wonderfully cute dogs!

Ike and Kastle! <3 Great pictures. You have an awesome crew.

Thanks!

Because group pictures are awesome. But you totally need to get an all group/no people group picture. Sara, her husband and I did it with two 9 week old puppies so you gotta do it too!

I love all your dogs. So much. Also, GO POST IN THE PUPPIES OF 2012 THREAD. Limit needs to be in there. It's just doesn't have enough herders there.

I feel the same way , but with the kids . LOL

I love your crew so much! And your fiance's shepherd is especially gorgeous...I love the look on the BC's face, too.

Also, we haven't had NEARLY enough Limit pictures! I'd almost forgotten what he looked like!

I need assistance! This puppy does NOT believe in standing upright/still long enough to get a picture! My fiance was supposed to help tonight before class but he forgot. Hopefully tomorrow! I could post a Kastle photo but that was last year Or a Finny photo from earlier this summer...

Oh Goodness, I had never really been altogether that interested in Kelpies, but Limit is giving me serious Kelpie Want. That puppy looks PERFECT. So much toughness, attitude, spitfire, and just the right amount of silly and cute.

I know it's been a while but that STILL makes me smile. THE BEST COUPLE (and not to mention pack of dogs).

:rofl1::rofl1::rofl1:

That is just so IKE :rofl1:

What is Edens story? I think I am in love.

This is pretty much Limit. He's the strangest mixture of bad-a** and sweet. He's FULL of personality. Every time Jason spends prolonged time with him he mentions that he's just like Ike as a puppy. He's soooo full of himself but super fast and agile and he loves to hop, jump and pounce LOL

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww thanks!!!!

Eden is a conformation fail dog. The breeder held her back but due to her 1/2 white face (a fault he was willing to deal with) and her level bite (too many faults now to show) she failed out of conformation. I was looking for a Cardi, he was looking for a performance home and Eden came home. She is NOT the normal variety of Cardi. She is pretty much the opposite. Super outgoing, super social, loves people, kids, dogs, will try anything, super happy, prey drive out the wazoo. She is an angel, truly, she has a heart of gold. Everyone that she spends time with (numerous of my friends, a couple of our trainers, flyball teammates, my parents) has volunteered to take her if anything ever happens to me.

We also have her half-sister Poppy (dangling from Jason's left arm) and she is awesome too but much more classic Cardigan. She is also a conformation fail, her legs are too east-west to breed so he listed her for a performance home and we snatched her up I am not sure what he does with these young dogs but they come to us absolutely environmentally SOLID, no surfaces, objects, people, activities phase them. First day they both saw the teeter/dog walk/chute tunnel in agility, they plowed through/over/on them like what, this isn't normal? They are truly some of the best socialized/exposed dogs I have ever seen.

A couple more Eden pics, since I am infatuated with her

We have agreed that we will always keep two alike small dogs because they are ADORABLE!

Love all yr dogs but could still Kastle and the BC!.
