Going Home

Today our big hairy dogs went home. Lillie and her two kids have been with us for an extended stay due to some medical needs within their 2 legged family.  All is better now and they are going home.  We have been boarding and training these 3 since Lillie was a puppy.  Jill B is their human leader and has maintain a strict training regiment from basic obedience right through agility.  Yes they all do agility, they all climb the A-Frame, the dog walk and the teeter.  Lillie the mom was a handful as a youngster as she was always showing her true Komondor roots by being on guard at all times and a little leery of everything and everybody.  It took me almost 2 years before I gained her trust as an outsider of her immediate family.  But her and I have maintained a wonderful relationship over the years and now at 11 she is even glad to see me.  Her 3 kids are Reign a continual top 5 in the show ring, Clover "Miss I don't want to be in the show ring" and Blue who lives with Jill's daughter and doesn't visit us much.  Reign and Clover make the big splash in the kennel with their long dreads and outgoing personalities.  Their large size and deep barks set most people back.  We are all looking forward to Jill and her Komondors returning to classes soon.
