Dope will be mated by Frits. I guess she will come in heat around March. You can find more about this under Breeding Plans.

Mid of March we will get a puppy from Wales. He will be called Cube. More about him on his own site! I hope I will get pictures of him soon.

Cole and I have had bad luck in the shedding ring on the first day. The sheep did not move good enough, I had no chance to build a gap. But I was satisfied with Cole both days.

Dope was quite wild on the lift the first day. She didn't grip, but she gave so much stress to the sheep that one told us it doesn't want to move one more mm - it was laying down. Because of it was at a place I could't see I had to retire. The second day Dope was nearly under control and we have were able to complete the course. The little monster still needs a lot of training, but I love to work with her! She is fun!

Judge was Mr. Bobby Dalziel.

Aimee is in heat and should be mated with Kenmillto Jack the next days! You can find more about this mating under the breeding plans.

Bevore we got to the continental in Swede, we've been invited for traing with Erik Holmgaard http://www.holmgaarderik.dk . Thank you 2 very much for this 2 really nice days!

The continental sheep dog championship was hold at a quite challenging place, the sheep were very good to work.  Unfortunately I've made a big mistake in the driving and at the shed, but anyway I'm quite satisfied with the run! Aimee was just super good! You can find a video of the run here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmR76qFTI1M

For Cole was the field too difficult, but the continental was the 4th run for him in the open class, so he is not used to this big distances right now. Anyway I was really satisfied with him, we worked good together and he was obedient in the commands.

Last week we drove to England to the World Trial. A big thank you to Trixi and her father for the VW-Bus! I was a bit afraid because of the long driving, but everything went well. To my run: I was the second handler on the field and because of that I couldn't really appraise the sheep. I've made two big mistakes in the driving, the other things have been OK. My nerves at this huge event haven't been the best... The trial was organised in a perfect way, the weather unfortunately very typicall for England. We've seen many great dogs and runs. It was abolutely awesome!

Because of Anita Hermes we've had the possibility to get in touch with Katy Cropper who was the breeder of Xeran (Aimee's Dad). For me it was really very exciting to talk with her, watch her dogs and it was really interesting to see how many similar things are in her dogs and my Aimee! :-)

After this all we drove to Wales to visit Angie Driscoll where we could see the high quality and standard of Keeper, Kobe and Penny! We've been deeply impressed of all of them and their education! Thank you for your time, Angie!

Of course I'm happy I can start with 2 dogs this time!

At the Langenlois Trial we have had a double gather final for the best 15 runs of Saturday. I've been in the final with Aimee, Cole and Dope! :-) I was quite surprised, that Dope hasn't had any problems with the "look back" - because we didn't train this yet. Cole has done a good job on this weekend. I was really satisfied with him. He reached place 8. Aimee was doing great, but at the shed we have had a time out, because I wasn't able to move or turn 2 of the sheep. But it was still enough for place 9. Dope reached place 12.

I want to tell Willi Klaffl a big thank you, because he has done everything for organising a fantastic trial!

All results are written at the ASDS site: ( http://asds.at )

Judge in the open class was Eric Barfoot of Northireland, the classe 1 and 2 have been judged together of us prospective judges Wolfgang Lipczenko, Christa Veits and me.

Cole has been at the eye-check and is free of all heritable eye diseases.

Angie Gaigg has taken new pictures of my dogs - thank you! You can find the pictures on the Index site and under  Aimee pictures.

Eve is now living with Nicole Minihold and her brother Evolution.

Aimee reached the 2nd rank at the qualifikationstrial in Rebenland. First was Luca Fini with Dan, 3rd Barbara Weinrauch with Tom.There have been 27 handlers in the open class. Judge was Erik Holmgaars. I'm quite proud of Aimee's second run - we reached very good 99 points! She's my darling! ♥

Dope tried hard an havy and we were able to finish the parcours on both days - Rank 11.

Cole was not so good. It was OK on the first day, but on the second he lost his brain somewhere. Rank 20.

The x-ray results of my E-litter are now online. We have had two times OCD in it and one time HD-C, all other dogs are HD-A and ED and OCD free.
