Grandma Piper

I don't really have too much to say training wise at the moment. Some definite work needs to be done to progress forward but nothing terribly exciting for a blog.

Piper is due to come into season sometime in the next month. So - out of pure curiosity - I decided to check with Laura Hicks regarding the litter Piper had before Laura sold her to me. Laura got back to me with the news that Piper was bred to Laura's Jag dog and had a litter of two females and one male. They are all on working ranched and are just over three years old now.

One of the bitches - Fly - was sold to Caleb Parker in Massachusetts. This is how Caleb describes Fly: " Fly is an even tempered dog that loves to work and loves people. She turned 3 this March. Fly is a working dog and spends about 5 or more hours a day working and enjoys every minute of it."






Here is a picture of Fly




Fly was recently bred to Maria Amodei's dog Levi and had a litter of two males and three females in May. I have been in touch with Sharon Perkins in Maine who has one of the male puppies as well as Maria Amodei (also one of the males) and they are both very excited about the cross.

Here is a puppy picture
Piper is not yet 6 so she must have skipped her prom to have her puppies. She says she is a little young to be called granny but I told her now that she is a grandmother she needs to act more maturely. LOL.
