When we first started, Sammy did have problems her with her paws ripping, so we took it slow and I made her run on grass as much as possible, but over time her paws toughen up, and she has no problem anymore. I think all shelties are happy as long as they are with their person, no matter what...

Sammy and I took part in Furry Friends 5K in Whitby last Sunday. https://scontent-a-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t1.0-9/10391462_10152135278645168_7673099450103435779_n.jpg We have been training together a year for this, our chip time was 23:30. Sammy's Daddy

Been a while since I posted pictures of Sammy, weather's been nice, so we have been doing lots trips to the park, first time I brought a camera along this past Sunday. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9pyfvcmktidrr9i/SAM_0589.JPG https://www.dropbox.com/s/1qojyuw7dvaoek4/SAM_0588.JPG Sammy's Daddy.

Hi Eva, I never brought Sammy to a groomer, can you describe what does the groomer do? I always thought only dogs that do not shed need to get groomed regularly. I do the brushing, bathing, paw and rear end trimming and nail cutting myself, is there anything the groomer do extra (or...

Just taught Sammy how to Play Dead recently, she can only do it from the down position for now, will improve later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws3XDxN2fBY Sammy's Daddy.

Hi there, welcome. My Sammy's is trained to go inside on a UGODOG, and since she's always crated when we cannot give her 100% attention, she has learned to go on schedule as well (morning, afternoon, evening). We never have to go outside for business, and I am very glad about that, I...

Ronna, What are those NTD titles on your dogs, are they new? I don't remember seeing them before. Can you give us some info on them? Sammy's Daddy

Thanks everyone for the comments. :)

Trying to get her to go thru the chute, jump thru arms x 2 then go thru the chute again. Haven't done a video in a long time, I lost track of the number. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNgN6etL4YQ&feature=youtu.be Sammy's Daddy

I am a budget minded owner too. This is what I feed Sammy, I am not sure if it is available where you are. http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/natures-domain-dog-food/ It's $35 for a 15.9Kg here in Canada. We alternate between the salmon and turkey formula (one bag at a time), I...

Oops, look what I found in the mail today. https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=10151847486405168&set=a.382360875167.167273.540105167&type=1&theater

Thank you Julia. The only other goal I have in mind is for Sammy to become a therapy dog. Although, at the moment, I am not sure how I can work towards it. Some places won't consider any dog that's under 2 years old, so I guess I have a year to prepare for it. Plus in most cases they need...

I ask Sammy to sit, and I use my left hand to hold her jaw, and right hand to do the brushing of the under chin and chest area. After area is done, she would (on her own, I never ask her) lie down while I brush the back of neck, behind ear area, and her back. All good until I get her up to...

Ronna, Can I ask if you have received your certificate from CGC? I am still waiting for mine, and its taking longer than I thought it would. Not sure if they are just slow, or have it been lost in the mail. We did our test on Nov 23. Thanks. Sammy's Daddy

I wondered about the same when the breeder showed me a picture of Sammy when I made the reservation, but was told they were born that way and the nose will eventually turn black. She wasn't lying. http://imgur.com/axuwT94 Sammy's Daddy
