I really can't believe how long I have let this go and not posted anything. I would think about it and then just let it go. I did get a new puppy in the spring and took her to puppy class in August. Now that winter has hit I don't drive down to classes. But we will go back for the spring. My boy Dodger visited with a friend for a couple of weeks late august when I had my cataract surgery. I worried about that alot. But actually it was not bad and not painful. The day after I had to see the surgeon so he could check out my eyes and all was well. A couple of weeks of no heavy lifting was easy to do. I had hoped to have pups early winter but Quinn did not have a heat again. She was ready to retire. She went to a friend of mine and living a wonderful life too. Unfortunately Zoe had weird heats and could not be bred. She is with another friend of mine and having a blast. She gets to go to the beach and retrieve her ball which she loves, if you let her she would play ball all day. She is living a really good life and now I can concentrate on growing out a couple of female pups. My young sable girl is almost a year old and will probably have pups sometime in August. I have a little tri girl that is growing out here and I will have a pretty bi black girl here also. My boy Flash has been busy visiting some girls of friends of mine. I hope to get a son of his. It is almost like starting over.
I am not ready to give up yet. I still want to produce, quality, healthy pups with awesome temperaments and with these girls I will be able to preserve the sheltie and breed to the standard to keep the Sheltie breed up to what it should be. Quality,happy, healthy pups to be excellent family companions. I know for awhile I was considering not breeding any longer but I could not give up my dream of producing happy,healthy, quality pups with awesome temperaments. So as long as I can care for my dogs and give them what they need I will continue to produce awesome family companions.
There should be lots going on this summer so I need to keep up the blog to let you all know how Jopavist Shetland Sheepdogs are doing.
I am hoping for an early spring. Stay safe and warm in this so cold winter.
