PERFECT 🤪🤣😝

🐾🇨🇦🐾 Happy Handling

01/15/2024

What a couple of weeks .. I am available on bookings please PM me, as time will be very tight for a while.

After leaving my home Xmas eve to help a friend in need .. I think this was close to the worse few weeks in years.. I lost many very expensive (hard to replace items) left due to a hasty packing to get home quickly. The dogs and I were so traumatized it has been just exhausting. My poor babies so traumatized and are now doing a bit better.

The stress on both the animals and me was a nightmare only to find more nightmares..with thousands of dollars of damage to equipment, housing I am at a loss. Due to leaving in one of the coldest times in YEARS!! (-38)

Our winters here is usually quite mild (-20 to -25 @ it’s worst—10 to -usually only lasting a night or two.. up to a week.
14 average)

If anyone in the area can lend a hand to move a few items It would surely be appreciated. (Large items) boxes, cages, dryer. I am not sure what I can afford but I am willing to pay what I can or make some trade of services deal. I can move most things but somethings are far to big or with disabilities I am not able to move heavy items.

HELP!! I need to have my boy Tenor brought home and I have to fix my home in -30 weather, (Barriere to Creston/Yahk).

Help with moving heavier things(boxes to a dryer) out of the home would be a godsend at this point.

I thank you for you consideration in advance please send me a PM if possible.

ANY HELP Would be appreciated at this point eve partially. WILLING TO WORK OUT A TRADE OR WILL PAY.

More info on request.

WHEN PEOPLE ASK IF MY DOGS HAVE GOOD TEMPERAMENTS. . Understanding a Show Dog Life

I ask what do backyard breeders or mills do to show/prove they have not only a cared for, socialized, tested dogs .. but a dog that has be shown. To me that is a huge test from travel, shipping (driving or flight) with no family, with a handler with 10 or more dogs with nothing to rely on or anything they are used to and do it all wagging their tails & doing their job .. getting the judges attention by showing they are “IT”! I love dogs❣️. Not to mention doing all that with 1000’s of dogs and people reaching out at them .. that’s stress and only a stable dog can do this.

I few things that a dog does at a show around 100’s to 1000’s of dogs in one small area (one building)

She finished her first classes and is well on her way. She also sent me a BEAUTIFUL photo of her when she had her groomed recently.

We wish Krista a wonderful holiday season and best of luck in her future endeavours going to the shows in the new year

The girls after having an eventful day .. we woke to a new resident in the pasture🐴 (his paddock is also our backyard ) we were all lucky enough to welcome him into the world.. (welcome to a wonderful life “Lil Crow”) congratulations to Anna on her new addition

Aussies are the most amazing dogs around, I am thankful to have them in my life

After getting Taboo Blu, from overseas and a trying time to acclimate she is doing amazing and we are very thankful that she is so brilliant.. if you put even the smallest amount into a dog you get it back 10 fold.

It’s really to bad when people give up so quickly if a dog isn’t perfect & to me she is just that, perfection .. and of course China is the Ying to her Yang, merle girls with the most amazing personalities
❤️💕😍❤️
