16 Weeks

Thorri passed his Herding Instinct Test on March 10/11, 2010 under John P. Carter of Benthill Working Dogs. At 16 weeks, he went in the ring and completed a "outrun, lift and fetch" on his own before I was all the way into the pasture area. We were all amazed and John said we have "something very special and a huge responsibility". I guess I better get busy and find an instructor.

This is my crazy face! I just had a bath and am one silly boy now.

I smell sooooooooooooo good.

Shhhhhhh. Mama is sleeping.

I went to the park and met one of Kol's puppies, Roki. He is a big man now and I loved him.

Hey, Roki! Let's play! (Roki has a beautiful temperament and was very gentle with Thorri)

Eyjahunda Roki from Kol's 2008 Litter. Roki is a therapy dog in his mom's private practice.

Roki and Thorri meet. It was a wet and cold day, but the boys didn't care!

Hey Nel, this is my best "I love you" face.

Thorri is 9.5 weeks old now and it is amazing how quickly he is growing and learning. We took Ras, Kol and Thorri to the pastures today and they had a great time. Ras and Kol play a little too hard for the baby but he watched and had fun playing his own games. We are really smitten with this fellow. Terry calls him "Little Bubby."

Grrrrrrr. I'm a big boy!

Watch TT and Ras play.

This kind of play is very important and teaches him appropriate play behavior and limits. They love it and it sure is fun to watch. TT is in his second fear stage, so we are doing a lot with him and exposing him to many new experiences. He is a great little guy.

Did you say snack or stack?

I think I saw a puddytat.

Ras is looking pretty again after motherhood.

My favorite part of the day, acting like a BIG dog.

Kol and Ras playing frisbee together.

7 weeks old and sportin' a stack

Structure Evaluation by Pat Hastings found Thorri to be #1 in litter and show quality in 5/5 areas

Vet says Body condition is excellent, bite is normal.
