KrisK Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Well, it's official. I'll be picking up a new puppy in June. I've picked one from the litter but will be making the 7+ hour road trip in a couple of weeks to make sure he's the right one I can hardly wait! It's been 13 years since puppy feet skittered across the floor. I've learned a lot since then, but there will be much more to learn. This is the pup I'll be training for what he was bred to do...at least that's the plan Oh my, what have I gotten myself into? Did I happen to mention I can hardly wait??? I promise to post a picture once the puppy picks me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemist Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 And the spring puppy fever epidemic begins... Liz: where's the "like" button? Sigh. I think I have a terminal case. If only for the fact that now is not the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz P Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I am hoping to at least suppress the disease by adding some goats to the mix. I find it oddly satisfying to watch them munch on the overgrown brush. I know that in the end I will succumb to puppy fever yet again, but hopefully not for a few more years.

bcnewe2 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 How exciting. I had forgotten just what it was like to have skittering across the floor. Love it! Waiting to see your pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrisK Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I am sure my friends and co-workers are sick of listening to me talk about the puppy...did I mention I can hardly wait?? However, this is the first pup that I will have since we moved to the farm. The only 'stock' I have right now is a flock of Muscovy ducks. So, I'll need to really start getting my act together to get some sheep or at the very least some access to sheep close by. I'll definitely be saving my $$ to take some weekend clinics and I already have 3-4 good books (Scrimgeour, Holland...) and some videos too. All in all, I'm hoping that I'll do the dog justice...that he will get to do the work he's intended to do...and I won't mess him up too badly I think I'll be spending lots of time on these boards looking over the training discussions! Pictures to follow, once the pup is actually mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrisK Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 counting down the days...I'm going on the road trip to pick out the puppy this Tuesday. The pups will be 4 weeks old and from all accounts are a bundle of energy Expect a pile of pictures on Wednesday night It's a good thing they are 8 hours away....otherwise I might be making a nuisance of myself !

Gideon's girl Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 It looks like Micah's litter. He was the one red in a sea of black and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthfieldNick Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 You're way, way away from it, but the best thing I did for my young dog was to send him out to be started. I sent off a dog with stock sense, but no training, and 12 weeks later, had a dog who was able to step up to the lambing plate when my older dog was unexpectedly laid up. Just something to think about. In the meantime.... CUTE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippin's person Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 How exciting, Kris. Can't wait to see the pics and hear the puppy tales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo&Tex Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I only live 2 hours from these puppies. Can I go make a pest of myself on your behalf? Jo <------- humming "one of these things is not like the other things" I can't help but notice that one of the girls has a face like Tex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
