in case u didn’t kno

Another win for me!

Today me and Mom competed in Obedience Class 1! (That’s the international Class 2.) I got a bit distracted, it’s been a really busy week. But even when I’m not at my best, I’m still awesome. I got proof too, since I went and won the entire class for Mom! This means I get the official title LD1, because I’ve gotten 3 qualifying results (two of them class wins!), and in a row to boot! I am amazing.

Two sides of the same coin

Mom says I shouldn’t complain about being photographed. But it’s so boring! I know I look amazing regardless, but still. Good thing I have a lot of fur, or I’d be freezing my tail off!

Brains, Beauty and Brawn!  (Oh, and Speed. Lots of it.)

Isn’t it amazing how some dogs just have it all? Like me! It’s no accident that I’m as good as I am. I am carefully bred! My entire family is health checked when it comes to eyes, hips and elbows and are clear there. They’ve also proven their worth in competitions, in everything from herding and tracking to agility and obedience. Isn’t that amazing? But that’s not all! Almost everyone in my family has done a mental evaluation. I have too! It was a fun day, I got to do lots of different stuff. Mom says it’s something we working dogs have to do to test how we interact with strangers, how well we can be handled, if we want to play with others.. And I mean of course I do, duh! Who wouldn’t want to play tug-o-war?? It’s the most fun! But Mom says it’s not all fun and games. We Australian Shepherds are working dogs, we have to prove we’re sound of mind. Can’t go breeding scared dogs, or we’ll make scared puppies!

My Mom cares a lot about us dogs. She wants us all to be healthy, happy and carefree. I want that too. I hope you do too!

Family vacation up north!

Me and Mom went up to the north of Sweden, and I got to hang out and play with some of my family! My father Jin and brother Kaiju seemed happy to meet me. Me and Kaiju played so much! Their Mom told my Mom that I’ve grown up into quite a lovely looking dog. Well duh! Of course I have!
