Bloody Ram

Went down to my son's to pick up Ram and 3 ewes. Would he get in the trailer.

No f # # # way. Thankyou Eddie for being the dog of the day

Ram with sore side, ear and nose. Did a great job. Needless to say next time he is loaded he will come back as mince

Ventured back over the border again this week to drop of two of Marrar pups. Finn and Shay

Now all four pups are safely in their new home

Paddy -Kristina
Finn - Conor
Shay - Bruce
Louis jean - staying with me

Hoping these four Wake em up pups will hit the trial ground in the future.

We also travelled to Trawala for a three sheep trial. Although no scores it doesn't matter. Both dogs got their casts. Eddie cast was bloody awesome

A break for a few weeks to get Xmas and new year out the way then back to Victoria for Cressy, Port fairy and Koroit

Packed ready to head of in the morning to Victoria.

Two things happening. Delivering two beautiful BC pups now 12 weeks old. They will be missed by all my other dogs especially Birdie. But they will probably be happy not to be body slammed by Birdie 😂

Going to the last 3 sheep trial for the year at Trawala

I have a nice clean car and trailer thanks to John

Last visit to the vet today for Finn and Shay. Off to Victoria on Sunday

Finn came in at a whopping 10.6kg not bad for 12 weeks

Shay 9.5kg

Little Lois-Jean (who is staying with me) 9.11kg

The vet asked what they have been eating, only kibble

I always mix puppy feed as not sure what they will have when gone

They started on coprice puppy then went onto Hypro puppy now a blend of Hypro and cobber puppy.

All of these pups have continued to gain weight regardless of the brand. 3 kg each in the last 3 weeks

Will be a little quieter when Finn and Shay go to their new homes in Victoria in the next couple of weeks

Finn decided to investigate the verandah, I tried to get a photo of all of the dogs, bloody impossible when Desiree does want to join in, Eddie got grumpy and would not look at me. Birdie was very good and sat there but would not look. At least Marrar stayed put

I need a professional photographer.

Good afternoon working dogs now it's a bit cooler

Marrar got the cranky trainers in the yard and drafted of what I needed.

Birdie took off to work in the yard as soon as I let her out. Called her back and she walked nicely with me without a lead.

Then out in the sheep yard and again took off. I called her back and she came back, waited for a command. When we finished I called her to walk with me out of the yard again without a lead

She's a keeper and only 7 months old ❤️❤️

Eddie did some boundary walking, just have to keep the boy moving

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have been very busy while on leave
Working dogs
Visiting the Crawford family at Weekeroo station
Training school at Milton's
Fun day at Rory
Raising pups
And gardening

One Wake em up pup has stayed at Weekeroo station ( Paddy), Finn is going to Conor McConnell, Shay is going to Bruce Harper both will live in Victoria and Lois-jean is staying with me

Busy times ahead with a 10 week old pup and the ratbag of the century Clementsville Birdie (currently 7 months old)

Birdie is a very good worker but loves to collect, chew and dig hence new boundary fencing (part only) is going in next week

Heading off to Victoria with the dogs in a couple of weeks
Then it will be Xmas new year and more leave until retirement
