Well, it's Friday again, which means time for a Kwyn update. I am gradually getting more optimistic, though not completely going to hang all my hopes on it. She's certainly gaining weight and being more clingy. I'm certainly leaning towards her being pregnant. I'm going to hold of judgement officially for another week. Unfortunately this week, due to my work schedule for this month, all of our play time has been in the dark, so no pictures of her. Which means yall have to settle for baby pictures of her and her handsome baby daddy. We are expecting the litter to look very much like them! I am also behind on answering folks. Don't worry, I have your emails and messages in my notifications. I haven't forgotten you.

Three weeks along today if we have babies coming. Hopefully in the next week or so we can start seeing a baby bump! She's doing great so far, about the only difference we are seeing in her is she's even more affectionate, but that also could be because she's basking in all the extra attention!

I don't usually post my bad pictures, but this series gave me a good chuckle, so had to share. Miss Kwyn's first day to be out with everyone after her heat cycle a few days ago. And she was ecstatic!! But in typical fashion, couldn't quite make herself run around too far from me. So she had the zoomies as close to me as she could. With Duna in tow trying to get her to come play. If clinginess is a sign of pregnancy for her as it is with our other girls, we for sure are getting puppies soon! If she's pregnant she's almost to 2 weeks along. The embryos should implant in the next few days.

Made it home on Sunday morning from meeting with Dakota and family. We had a great trip over there. Robin was an amazingly gracious host! I was beyond impressed with all of her dogs! They were so easy going and friendly. Unfortunately we probably went a little early to try to get home for Thanksgiving. Kwyn and Dakota did have a little romance so fingers crossed for puppies in nine weeks. Stay tuned for updates as we wait to see.

Off to meet Dakota! Miss Kwyn has been an absolute joy to travel with! So mannerless and easy going. The only noise she's made at all was the most adorable mini barks while dreaming for about an hour. Two days on the road, and we met Dakota last night pretty late. She was very flirty, but decided to act the lady and not put out on the first date.

Well, Kwyn has decided to obey her instructions, just barely and come into heat the week before Thanksgiving! We are headed to go meet Dakota this weekend. Stay tuned!!

Took the dogs exploring. I used to do this a lot, and didn't realize how much I missed it! Dogs did too! It was so much fun to watch Roland and Brenna slip right into their happy place. But realized it was the first time for Kwyn and Duna. The older two were having tons of fun teaching the younger two the ropes.

Apologies in advance for the crazy filming! Kwyn loves her toys, particularly her monkey. But I wanted to give her a new one that I just got for her. Its got this funky rattle in it. As you'll see, its a hit!

Still waiting on miss Kwyn to come into heat. Wanted to share some of the adventures we've gone on the last week or so. Sometimes it's only one of the girls and sometimes all three. The two youngest are pretty much trustworthy off leash so are a joy to take with me on days out and about.

A set of pictures to show Kwyn's temperament perfectly! Fell out of my chair on the porch. This girl won't leave me alone, but is also careful to not get in the way ad I get back in. Now before you think that is just cause she's attracted to the excitement. There is a deer carcus and a turkey from a freezer clean out, just 5 yards from us that the other dogs were eating on the whole time. You can even see in one of the pictures that's she's looking toward it. Love this gal!

If all goes well, this will be our Spring litter. Kwyn is due to come into heat in November, and has strict instructions to not wait until the week of Thanksgiving to do it! We are hoping to breed Kwyn to King's Dakota of Fernglen. I met Dakota last year and was highly impressed with his confidence, and sweet demeanor, even to myself and my brother who were complete strangers. I am expecting these pups to be extremely biddable, not super high driven dogs. I am expecting wolf sables (like Dakota) and Tri colors. Dogs will be a little more on the smaller side of the breed, and lean built. We are looking for pet homes for these pups. They will be socialized based on the Rule of 7. Stay tuned for updates as Kwyn progresses and we head toward Oregon for their romance. We are now accepting applications for this litter, and have some spots filled already. Please pm me if you are interested in learning more. Click on album to learn more about the parents of this litter.

Kwyn meaning "descendant of Conn, Wisdom" seemed a name to fit like a glove when we first found it. She's a dog that we shouldn't have had by any mean, yet she's here. Kwyn was born the day that I was admitted into rehab for a spinal cord injury, after being in the hospital for 6 weeks. We had no idea she was coming until a couple days before they came. Life was in full turmoil. We had planned on having her, but 18 months later than when she came. When I came home after a couple months in rehab, I had no intention of keeping a pup, but loved her personality! She is an extremely human driven dog! She her greatest joy is to know she did the right thing! Incredibly smart and soft, makes her a joy to train something new. As she matured from puppy to dog, I have been daily impressed with her very strong instinct to take care of her people. She is always there ready to lend help if she can. Most of my commands to her are wordless, she's just watching me constantly. Very easy going dog with a good natural off switch. She hasn't had much opportunity to work stock, so don't know her working ability. She is out of our own dogs. Her sire is KC'S Green Mountain Conrad and her dam is Paradise's Lovin' Elnora.

King's Dakota of Fernglen English Shepherds; CGC. ESC #6700.

Dakota is 4 years old and weighs about 48lbs. He has wonderful structure and is tall, slender, and agile. He has the agouti wolf sable coat. His COI is 3.76. He has OFA good hips and normal elbows. He's Embark tested clear of all known ES diseases but does carry one variant of DM.
Dakota was raised on a small cattle ranch and shows moderate herding drive. His biggest asset however is his eagerness to manage our property, eradicate vermin, and faithfully watch over his domain. He is easy going, fun loving, and a joy to live with. He's incredibly friendly, outgoing, and does whatever is asked of him. He has a stable, steady, non-reactive temperament with people and other animals and is a wonderful family companion.

Come Clean out dog pens with me. Between a family vacation and the recent blessed rain, they've gotten a little out of hand. The rest of my amazing crew were all busy doing other get-ready-for-winter projects, so not much help to do this. My sister and father did lend a hand on a couple things that I haven't figured out how to do yet.
Brenna and Duna are both in full heat right now, so are also in solitary confinement. The girls were very happy to be out and about for a while...and Roland, well was very mad to have to be locked up.

Going Husband hunting for this sweetheart!
Miss Kwyn is looking for a fella for her upcoming heat cycle.
A little about Kwyn, if you would like more information feel free to reach out and/or check out her album here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.414006937865196&type=3
Her biggest drive is for human interaction and because of this and her laid back nature, my goal for her first litter is to provide pet homes. She is extremely biddable and very quick to pick up on new concepts. Has a great natural off switch and has never met a stranger. She's on the smaller size of the breed, about 45lbs.

I am looking for a proven male as this is her first time. MT, WA, OR, ID, maybe WY. She is out of KC's Green Mountain Conrad and Paradise's Lovin Elnora.
I am looking for a solid, sober male, Low to medium working drive. Human driven, smart and biddable. No preference on color.

Been kind of holding off announcing this as I was hoping she was just carrying high being a first time mamma, but Miss Duna didn't take. I am actually very happy for the situation! We are moving forward with getting Duna and Kwyn's hips X-rayed and are planning now to breed Kwyn like we originally planned. Stay tuned!!

02/18/2024

Thank you all for your patience with me today. With Brenna's litter, a lot of things needed updated.
All of Brenna's pups are now sold, and we are getting ready for our next adventure.
We've added an Album for Kwyn and Duna, also updated the albums for Roland and Brenna.

Stay tuned for an exciting announcement on Monday.

Apologies in advance for the crazy filming! Kwyn loves her toys, particularly her monkey. But I wanted to give her a new one that I just got for her. Its got this funky rattle in it. As you'll see, its a hit!

Brother Waylon came over today and the welding truck with him! So of course everyone is invited to that party! They are a little nervous about it, but doing great overall! Even have gone over to the welder for some love! Shea's Doings Mobile Services thanks for taking the time to work with the dogs today!

Trakr and Hadassah's first 42 seconds of Wheelbarrow riding. Even in this short video, you can see them grasping the concept well. I didn't get a video of them later in the session when they were a little more solid. They'll need another good session before they are solid.

Trakr VS Long Line
Trakr VS Long Line

Mr Trakr's first day on the long line. A few days ago I put him on the long line for the first time! He did really well. And of course, sweet Hadassah felt the need to jump in to help as much as possible. The goal for his first session was to see him get comfortable with the line and harness attached to him. I was kind of hoping I would see him give into pressure. But I knew they were cold and wound up, so wasn't sure we would get that far. Well this smart fella surprised me! Not only did he figure out how to give to pressure, he realized where his perimeter was and very quickly learned to stop before hitting the end of the rope. He learned to come back on his own for a little bit of attention, even with the rest of the pack running around like mad. And he learned to be pretty sensitive to the line. Added to that, he also figured out how to slip the harness :D Sassy little man! Oh and we all decided that we love playing in new snow!! So much fun!
