Rosalie commutes 35 miles to work. This time of year it's dark when she
leaves and dark when she returns. To get any training time in at all she
and the pup get together under the yard lamp!
Thankfully there are Saturdays, Sundays and days off. Here's some shots
of agility training...
Gem likes moving games much better than holding still (no surprise there).
Agility, herding, beating up on big white dogs -- all are preferred over
obedience.
Even with the regimen practiced by Rosalie, there's time for just having
fun. Here's a shot of her killing Kagan, the 125 pound flock guardian.
months ago. We have to keep Gem on lead
now -- she can outrun the sheep and lacks the
discipline to call off. Taking her to the herd
now can turn a 2 minute flock movement into a
10 minute trial of your patience.
If Gem responds to control commands then she
will be an excellent worker. Her instincts are
good and her stamina is fantastic.
A guy could get exhausted just watching this
pup run.
