Trooper is growing by leaps and bounds... too smart for his own good. Has a keen eye and shows real talent on stock. We had a go at a few sheep at a neighbors place and he really handled it well. We hope to get out to the clinics in the future to see how he does. He is really funny when we are feeding the homing pigeons; he eases into the coupe and rounds them up. Really funny to watch since they don’t stay on the ground. But he does a great job getting them from the open pen into the feeding pen.

He is longer and leggier than Jill and at 9 mos. Jack and he are shoulder to shoulder. He was really uncoordinated earlier on but he appears to have grown out of that. He use to trip just running around the yard. Now he bounds past even Jill who has out run everything she has been after.

He also has a very protective nature and I am most glad of that. Being alone on the farm a lot, it is nice to know that he would take a stand if I needed it. Our local police department K-9 unit is interested in the Koolie breed as K-9 officers. We are talking with them about the future potential.

He loves the water and ridding in the truck or on the boat. Swims like a shark and has no fear. He will jump off of the boat and dive underwater with out hesitation. It is so great to see his development. The best of both Jack and Jill. Wish he had spots but even with out them he is awesome.

I will try to do better keeping everyone posted on things…..I am hoping to plan another trip over to Australia next year , and I hope to have visitors soon from Australia (hint hint Tjukurpa) …..


Karolina Koolies

Great Pics! He is growing so nicely, I love him!

Wouldn't it be gread for the police to give Koolies a shot at being Canine Officers, they would be fantastic for that.

working on it!, working on it!
Lots of activity here, with workshops all over the different states, you are going to love your newsletter next month, your Trooper diddn't fall far from the tree, he looks just like his cousins and uncles and aunties over here, though the girls are finer and more femanine looking, he is going to knock people socks off I can see it in his eyes, this guy keeps you on your toes.
I hope I get to take footage of him working while I'm over there.
All the best with your police project, koolies will wow them.

your dogs look very nice. do you work them and if so on what stock ?

Great shots Torry

Hi Karolina

Great to see you surface!!

The family are looking great, Trooper has grown so much. And isn't he developing as a "workin dog". Look forward to hearing how he goes with stock of the fourlegged variety.

I hope life settles down some soon and we hear more from you again.
Say hi to the family for us!!
