This is a big read but really interesting: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3680094/pdf/1471-2156-14-45.pdf

Can't understand a word he's saying but the footage is pretty cool :) http://youtu.be/4LMrQ7OHA24 I always laugh at how the same PyrSheps all are in their mannerisms, these dogs act just like Savvy LOL

Any suggestions for seminars that would be good to help "modernize" the agility training at a more traditionally based club? A friend of mine is trying very hard to reform a training club's agility program. The club's agility program is positive training based but more the Petsmart style of...

Lots of wrapping sequences and some total puppy awkwardness on contacts. He's a big dork but he's so happy! It's roughly in order, from youngest to most recent. http://youtu.be/RJlYs6rsbCc

I'm really, really happy with how well he did at the trial. His running contacts are not 100% in competition yet but he's had some nice hits and I'm confident they will get to where he is in training with more experience. His wraps need a bit more work in trial setting too. But overall I think...

Well worth sharing far and wide! "One of the primary goals of our recently released book, Friendly Fire, is to expose the fallacy which our nation’s large animal protection groups have perpetuated for decades: the myth that our nation’s shelters are a network of compassionate safe havens...

Roust loves Jolly Balls. Very much. He has made up this game at work involving the Jolly Ball and a laundry basket. Silly, silly Stick Dog. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JXt4qRmf4e0?list=UUu6HpHkWJ0MS1xxYuXo35nA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Everyone ran and played Everyone got mad Everyone ran and played some more Frosty Muppet He's really, really serious... more...

I've been doing a lot of videoing of training sessions lately since I signed up for ST's Long Distance Foundation Class. So far the class has been great! We're only on lesson two and have around done all sorts of fun stuff :) Here's some of Savvy's Lesson One work...

Two Black Belgians I know are looking for new homes. One is a four year old intact male and one is a 2 year old spayed female. I believe the owner of the females sire is going to take her (the person looking to rehome her is the breeder and is "moving can't take any dogs"...not going there lol)...

Spent last weekend at the UBSDA National (UKC Belgian Shepherd National) and had a great time! Most of my pictures are from the Regional Specialty because once the actual show started I was crazy busy. Whim was entered in Breed, Working Sweeps and 8 Agility runs. She got second to Cherry in...

LOL

Thought I would make this a new thread to answer Christina's post about GSDs and what she needs/wants in a dog. It's long! A good GSD should have no issue with that. This is a good GSD too, although it can be hard to imagine when you see a driven GSD out somewhere doing stuff that they...

Haven't decided which ones to get prints of but here's a bunch of awesome pictures of Savvy coursing last month :) http://www.cindynolandphotography.com/coursing712/savvy/

Roustabout...or just Roust. And some new pictures... Black Dog/Brown Dog

Well the Brown Stick Dog has been here for a few weeks now. In that time, he's grown and grown and grown. He's over 30lbs now and already as tall as Savvy (about 17"-18"). He's going to be a Big Brown Dog! In so many ways, he's a really great puppy. Drivey but sane, excellent impulse control...

Open shows, which don't allow pro handlers or finished dogs and which offer a separate conformation certificate. Sounds like these are meant to be fun, laid back events allowing day of entry and puppies as young as 4 months to compete. I really hope these catch on, I have been saying for years...

I have been hearing that someone fairly local had a litter of Belgian Sheepdogs they couldn't find homes for and were threatening to send to the pound. But try as I might, couldn't come up with any contact info. I've been keeping an eye on CL though and saw this guy listed yesterday, already...
