Spring 2025 pt2

Kimber had a play date with Hana the newfie

Family Day, out on the trails and playing with RC's

This is a favorite place. It is not a big area but gives us great photo ops. We had 4 adults and my grandson. We noticed that Kimber was keeping an eye on all 5 of us, making sure we stayed safe. She is proving to be very special for being just a pup. 

For educational purposes, I am sharing these pictures of Kimber jumping. 

My dogs are born and raised in this terrain. It is what they know from a young age. I believe in using common sense but also believe in strength. Strong muscles grow strong joints. Limiting a pup will keep them weak.  I would never allow a "house dog" to do this. 
Kimber body is physically strong and healthy, she gets a lot of exercise. 

Taking pups / dogs for walks on leashes or occasionally running around a yard is simply not the same. 

I have been focused on Kimber's water training for the past few months. She is now 6 mos old and fully confident around water. This trip, the water was quite a bit higher than she was used to but she did very well.

Lakes and ponds are completely different that spring run off rivers. These rivers are harder to predict. But it is important for her future to know how to listen and read water.  

Kind of a new experience, we took 3 dogs out for the first time. Nikki and Kimber know Hana the newfie very well, but this was the first time we took the three girls together.
