Hi everyone , hope everyone had a safe and happy xmas and new year , haven't has much time to do much with Minty and Jaspa but they have grown like mushrooms , mind you they are both rather pocket sized pups witch is a good thing easy to lug around , they are gorgeous and I will take some more picks asap ....take care chat soon and will gather pics xx by the way was that a red merle on McClouds daughters tonight ?? Looked like it might be lol...a very kool dog and the pic is of my giddyups

ok you can drop of one of those two at my place lol don't care which one i like the pinto looks like you would have no problems riding him/her bare back and i have always loved chestnuts with flaxen manes and tails so which ever one would be good it can have the 40 acre paddock all to it's self plenty of feed. but it's not allowed to buck bite kick bolt or shy lol getting old now and i don't bonce anymore just go splat and groan lol

Yes, I saw some of that too. Lovely looking dog.

Lovely horses, I really like the paint, and I used to have a half clyde who was flaxen chestnut with a blaze, but his blaze was wider and his mane had a wave. :-)

They are beautiful, and I like the colouring in both but just leaning a bit more towards the pinto.

Hope the hounds are doing wonderfully too.

Good to see you're still around Karen!! Nice looking horsies!

I had taped the show but of course the recorder played up and I didn't get the first bit. We were contacted by researchers from McClouds daughters early last year when they were planning this episode and after quite a bit of discussion I was hopeful they would mention the club, she thought it was possible but I have just skimmed through the tape and they refer to the Working Dog Association...poo! Never mind he was a good looking dog and a good example of the breed, undoubtably a koolie and what's more - won the trial. So all in all we came out of it pretty well. Wouldn't it have been nice if he had come along earlier and been a regular on the show. Their version of a yard trial was a bit bizzar though - about 20 sheep in a large yard the dog had to go around and put through a gate into another yard... Mind you the koolie finished off by backing the sheep which the kelpies didn't do.
