Off they go!

Rebecca and Sue left with their puppies today, so its just four left. I will be staying for three more days.

Monica showed Sue and I today some of the things she does to start puppies and young dogs on stock. Got to keep her teachings in mind when we get to start herding with Riva.

We found each other!

OK, so I finally made a choice between the puppies and its "Tank", the red male with NBT and most white. Sue, Lisa and Rebecca have also made their choices. Sue picked "Fin", Lisa "Hayden jr." and Rebecca "Luna". Monica had made a prediction of who was going to pick who and it was absolutely right.

Roana might be flying with me and Riva (as Tank is now called) to Frankfurt, we are trying to see if that is possible, so she wouldn't have to fly alone.

Prologue

Here it ends, 7 months of planning and anxiety around getting a new puppy. That's how long it is from the first e-mail to Monica inquiring about the breeding she was planning for her WTCH bitch Ally and asking if she would send a puppy to the northern edge of Europe, to Finland. Or actually this is the ending of an even longer process, I had a severe case of puppy fever three years ago but the time was not right.

Luckily this is not just the end, its also a beginning of something even more exciting...
