Long-Dangerous Tails

Congratulations to Rich (Singer’s Dad) on his retirement!

At just two years of age this is what Singer and Rich have accomplished together, here is Rich’s update:

Singer’s has in AKC, CGC (canine good citizen), HT (herding tested), PT (pre trial tested), HSAs (herding started A course sheep) and one leg toward his RN (rally novice). He is also close to starting his agility career.

In the AHBA (American Herding Breed Ass.) He has earned HCT (herding capability tested), JHD (junior herding dog) and HRD-Is (herding ranch dog I on sheep). We will soon be working on HTD (herding trial dog), HTAD (herding trial arena dog), RLF (ranch large flock), AKC B course and moving up to HIA (herding intermediate A Course).

After tomorrow I will have more time to spend with him. We are hoping to add tracking soon. He’s such a good boy.

Pictured above at two-years, Alta-Tollhaus Just a Singer from the J-litter, Funny’s last litter sired by X-Box. Singer is also known as J-boy. He was raised by Funny and Allie and Allie’s puppies who 2 days older from the I-litter.

It has been a long time since we have seen pictures of Alta-Tollhaus Qai from the Q-litter (XBox – Maika)

Lily has had this sign on the wall outside her bedroom door for years.  When I told her the new puppies would need X names, she ran to her room with my phone and took this picture.  She thinks this is the perfect name for a GSD puppy.

So which puppy gets named Xing? 

That would be IX healthy puppies,  IV boys and V girls.  Birth weights were  5 at 24 ounces, 1 at 30 ounces,  and 3 at 22 ounces. It was a good whelping, with a couple of long rest periods in between whelps, the longest being 5 hours.

Ana is a little displeased with me in this photo as I insisted on bathing here bottom-end, she rewarded me by squirting out some afterbirth and re-soiling everything I just cleaned up. LOL
