Walks on the beach

Actually got to take some of the pups to the beach (or very near to it!) yesterday, we tagged along with Marie whilst she took one of her customers dogs for a walk.
Draco and Halo had a great time of it, and it brought certain facets of their kelpie personality out that we really hadn't noticed before. Halo was the active one chasing and herding the collie up and down the sand dunes, Draco was the lazier, or more clever one - depending on your view point as he did a bit of chasing, but lots of casting from a distance!

Puck and Ruby went training at Browns training on Thursday, both trained very well, Ruby is now back in shape, and has her speed back, now I need to 'Up the ante' with her and begin to run her instead of coasting! Work on the contacts is coming along, but she is hard nosed and insists she knows best when it comes to the contacts!
Puck , after a boisterous start decided to to some stunning work - even his jumping was good - if horrible to watch (not one for style marks is Puck!) His agility is where he excels, and his hula hoop for the up's is paying dividends and he is flowing up the contacts now, strange how he works so much better in the agility rather than the jumping, but we're getting there!

Little Mo is still in need of a home, and some interest has been shown, but no takers so far- it's a real pity as she is a stunning little girl, sharp and keen to learn, bold and upright, she'd make a super agility dog as she is so much like her dam. Belle is a little sweetie, she melts into your arm's when you pick her up and ,for a kelpie at this age -is very well mannered and is a 'thinker' working things out for herself, always looking for the high ground to make her presence felt.
