Maggie, Ridgy and George beach fun

After this Maggie took off and the pups followed across the fields at the back of the dunes. Pups came running back when called but Maggie the awkward one took off into the flax and was corned by me but three fields away! Lesson learnt!

First Beach Gallop with Lure

Ridgy running her first beach gallop. Pity the photographer isn't as fast!




George, the fatty, having his first 50 metre beach gallop to the dummy lure.






The pups are given the chance to see if they would chase the hand held lure just to see their interest. Having had a play with it and a bit of fun the lure will not be seen again for at least 2 to 3 months. Both pups seemed to chase and latch on to the dummy which is encouraging.

Kennels update

Skippy (Feral Duchess) is back in training and will be hopefully soon seen on the track again hoping to lose her maiden tag. The pups are thriving and looking good and Maggie who didnt make it is enjoying the house when we are at home and has now accepted the cat as part of the furniture!

Pups morning run

The pups have their run here every morning. They have discovered ice. George has some in his mouth and is teasing Ridgy with it.
