👉Those two😊

The Irish and Sandman... two of my special young Team members

The Irish is a purebred Trueblue Heeler and Sandman has an eighth of collie in him. Both from my lines.

They are colorvariants I have here (because I can have them) and which I find super attractive.

❤️16 years ago... this is how it all started.❤️

They came they went... with the first one still standing - Creggan.

Amazing memories of dogs that were so special. Who taught me so much. Who showed me what loyalty and respect really is.

No one is perfect.
To dogs this doesnt matter. They take you just as you are. They accept you with your quirks. As you accept them with their quirks.

Not something found often in the human world. Where "finding fault, groupin-behind-back, blindBelief, jealousy and "use for personal gain and drop"" are so common and deemed normal.

YIN and YANG
The good isnt visible without the bad. There are always two poles.
Only the worst experiences let you treasure the best. I had it all.

My dogs are The Best I have
Dogs are the Best anyone can wish for.

They give so much.

Russ and Creggan came first. Then Minch... Delta..
All such amazing souls I am greatful I could have around ... even tho the time seemed way too short.

Memories...💚

🌿For the Lovers of the Trueblues.🌿

The Mega litter still has some mega lovely guys n gals who are ready for a new adventure now.
Here in New Zealand

9 weeks old

You can read a bit more about them under each photo. Or simply just admire them.

They are all very dark full trueblues - no seal in this litter. Mom Megas genes dont allow it.
They will look spectacular when grown.
And I dont need a crystal ball to predict this with hokuspokus😉😁

🍀Who would you follow and respect?🍀

👉Someone who tells you what to do, when to do it and expects to obediently follow the set rules no matter what?

👉someone who communicates with you and adjusts to your talents and gives you a chance to grow them?

I had a teacher who followed the curriculum to a T. Let us read a chapter, discuss vocabulary and gramar... then had us do a test... and ? next chapter. 4 long years of this. My grade was a D- and tbh, I didnt care. Not for the topic, not for the grade and I cant say I respected her in any way.

I had another teacher who used the curriculum as a guideline only. He worked with our interest, quickly ticked things off when he met yawns... but also bringing in extra stuff that spiked our interest.
Genetics? He brought in the latest research from the Scientific American (that was 1984). We understood nothing in the beginning... But he explained...managed to get us going. And started a love for scientific research in many of us. He was a no nonsense teacher. He was fair. We all respected him. My final grade was an A-

Why am I saying this?

Dogs arent any different.
They deserve more than being told what to do. command trained to perform perfectly. To do things that they would never do naturally. That they dont understand. And often simply do not want to do.

No wonder they often dont respect is and see us as THE one to stick to wherever we go.
See us as the safe place and food supplier.

A well command trained dog looks good. A dog that is able to communicate and works with us - looks even better.

A command trained dog sits for the treat.
A dog that understands that sit is the calm equivalent to the owner stopping and standing still does this everywhere...And in nearly every situation. Following the example/lead.

🌿Food for thought

An old but brilliant movie comes to mind
"Stand and Deliver" - starring Edward James Olmo

Young "Piet" 🥰
Still standing... so lets find him his new dog bed and his own pair of gumboots to follow.

9 weeks old and from the (tri) Blue bunch of cuteys by Pietje and Sir Henry ll.

Piet is calm. Piet loves to watch and sit in the background. Nothing fazes Piet. He is a totally kool dude, staunch, solid and has loads of brains.

Piet sat on the Vets scales ... because he owned them. He is a healthy pup... all things where they should be, nice biten no kinks and a sound heartbeat.

Piet will be a best mate.
Yours?

🍀The Irish🍀

She had me guessing for quite a while... What her A locus is. Is she a Red or a Blue under her Trueblue coloring?

Dark red stockings and tan points over her eyes are shining through juuust a little bit now.
The photo shows it.

She has inherited the gene for triBlue from both parents.
She is a very intense, nearly full dark Trueblue.
A 'Black Irish'.
And she is absolutely stunning (Im a bit biased tho😁)
