Today my ASCA weapon litter turned two years old. I miss my ’puppy’ Sakko so much and wish he would still be with us. Here’s a photo of Tikka (JSD 2010 Miss Tikka Likka) that Mathilda published on facebook…
Sire: imp. Aggieland’s Rocky Brazos 09-05 (Boy)
Dam: imp. Hart II’s Little Miss Sunshine (Docka)
Ami blev startskottet på ett enormt intresse för renrasiga hundar. Aldrig hade jag träffat en mer lättlärd och lojal hund…
Vi fick hem Ami när jag just fyllt 13 år efter en hel del tjat på mina föräldrar. Hon kom snart att bli startskottet på ett enormt intresse för renrasiga hundar och hon tände en passion för just Australian Shepherd. Aldrig hade jag träffat en mer lättlärd och lojal hund.. Ami var den typ av hund som gjorde absolut allt för sin förare, trots min unga ålder. Hon va lättstyrd och lättmotiverad. Hon hade egentligen inga egna intressen, men levde genom mig och ville göra allt för min skull. En bättre vän blev svår att hitta!
Tyvärr hade Ami inga bättre nerver samt saknade alla vallinstinkter jag hade önskat i en Aussie. Men hennes andra kvalitéer gjorde att jag fortsatte att gräva efter kunskaper och 1.5 år efter henne hittade vi Chippa i Danmark…
My friend Isabelle’s female Chips whelped her litter with 12 year old Texas (natural breeding) today. There’s still a couple of pups unspoken for. I’ll have Rocki in my future breeding program (full-sister to this litter) and she’s a blast to be around. A really good dog. I think this cross (Pincie Creek & Hart II’s) produce some excellent dogs. There’s a female in NL (owner Anneke de Jong) that is sired from the same sire as this litter, and out of a female with the same pedigree as Chips. This female is WTCH… 🙂

Today I celebrated my 20th birthday, it was a fairly good day… Just another year until I can go to TX and drink a beer! 😉 In Sweden (and Scandinavia) the legal drinking age is 18…
Happy birthday to me! 😀
I realized that I haven’t published any videos of my dogs working reindeers yet. I think it’s time to show people what we do. Here’s a couple of short videos of my dog Chippa working at different ages. Description of every video will be available below the film.
This is Chippa at the age of 10 months old (I think) working reindeers for one of her first times in the open. She had too much speed do we decided to put her on leach. About 1.600 head.
This video was filmed when Chippa was about 20 months old. She is much more advanced in her training and are responding well to voice commands. This drive was about 10 US miles long in the deep snow. About 800 head.
This video shows Chippa when she’s soon to be three years old. It shows her progress to the dog that is able to make most decisions herself (and it’s still the right ones). At one point I yell at her to turn around and get back, than I figured there were one reindeer left and she saw it and when to pick it up.
