Bitzi has moved to a ranch 2 hours away from here, now living with Angelica in Lövånger. I wish them all the best luck in the world and looking forward to this wonderful relationship with this wonderful woman.

I do believe that Bitzi will like it at her new home very much… 🙂

After having some trouble with my dogs’ health we’ve finally in a ’down hill’. Our female ”Rocki” (imported from France) was X-Rayed a couple of weeks ago and her hips came back A/A! First Australian Shepherd of mine with excellent hips. We’re thrilled with the results and really happy. Hopefully the luck will last!

Rocki is only a year old but with these great news I’ve decided to look for a male to her first litter. How exciting! 🙂
