Puppy Birthday, guest blog by B-Twin-1
It seems a little wrong to call this a Pupdate. Afterall, the puppies are now 1 year old. They are Border Collies however; that tends to mean that they will try to stay “forever young”!!
So a year ago today life was all very exciting as The Puppies were born.
Welcome to the world little ones....
Oddly enough they have grown. Somewhat.
That little pup in the centre of that picture? She now looks like this:
Bramble
And “Big Girl”? Well, she used to look like this.
"Big Girl"
Now she looks like this:
Brighid
They are both bigger than their mother. Poor Belle looks really small now!!
How are they going with sheepwork? Well, not too shabby at the moment. :) They work slightly different to each other but both show a lot of promise. Learn scarily fast of course. Next year we will try for some sheepdog trials to test them out.
The Birthday Girls
And, just for fun, I took some video of them today. (Apologies in advance for the size of the files – new camera and didn’t realise the settings needed to be fiddled with!)
