Time flies! Looks like we're out of our super sensitive phase - yeah! And the two favorite things are still playing with the water and with running contacts 🙂

I LOVE these pics. So much joy and what a beautiful family 🙂
I love “Who is the biggest trouble-maker?” Haha! Too funny 😀
🙂
Can you tell me how you shaped the “two-paw-trouble-maker”? I free-shaped a one-paw-trouble-maker trick but am stuck on how to include the second paw, as Fusion offers a lot of funny ideas, but not a second paw at the nose.
To and Bi both started to offer the 2nd one when working on duration of the 1st one -- but only when on their backs, so maybe try what you get in that position? Refreshing a hugging trick with both paws can help as well, To and Bi actually think it’s the same trick -- hugging a bottle or their nose 🙂
Thanks a lot! I will try that, especially revisiting the hugging…
Hugging a bottle or the nose, basically the same thing 😀
Love her -- she is so cute, beautiful… and you will make her an excellent performance dog I am sure. Can’t wait to see some videos!
She looks like she is fairly tall now? I always love your photos so much, they are beautiful.
Yes, she is nearly 48cm now, so that should be fine. She still looks tiny in normal life though as she is so short and narrow -- only 11kg.
Wow she looks so much bigger in the photos, I was thinking she was bigger than Vi. She’s right around the same size as Vi, and that was about Vi’s weight at that age. Vi looks so tiny in real life too… My friend has been calling them pocket collies.
Yes, everybody who meets her in person is very surprised how much smaller and tinier she is as it looks like in pictures/videos.
She is Michael’s size:)))))
No -- really? He is so small???
Hahaha, I think the size of our dogs is so shocking in real life when we watch them so much on video and have a different picture in our minds. everyone says that about Spur, too, how tiny he is when they think he is SO much bigger in photos and videos. Because you are so small Silvia I think your dogs look big next to you!!!
Love the happiness in all these photos 😀 The only way to enjoy dogs, living in the moment, heaven. Are these fresh water the dogs swim in?
Thanks 🙂 This is sea, we were on vacations there last week 🙂
