Run Toto Run

Dundee, Stella, and Echo all have a go at lure coursing. Dundee earned is Coursing Ability title in two days. Echo qualified the two times she ran. Stella runs like a rocket for about a hundred yards, then circles back and runs equally fast back to her handler. Can’t fault a dog with an automatic self-recall. All of them had a blast.

Stella and Griffin wait patiently. Or not.

Stella thanks me for taking her to all the best places

A terrific day earthdogging on Whidbey Island. Cool, damp … just right for Scottish dogs.

An object at rest … won’t stay there long

"What do you mean, 'what am I doing here'?"

Bald Skinny Bitch Goes Best Puppy

Rare Smooth Coated Cairn

Best Puppy in Match.

The judge couldn’t resist a little fifteen-week-old puppy with no coat but plenty of attitude. No one could have been more surprised than her handler.

Appearances to the contrary her apparent Yoda ear placement is not that horrible – although she pulls them down quite regularly. She’s a curious mix of singleton-bossy mixed with puppy-submissive “gotta love me!”
