Sheena was sold to Japan to compete in

Hi Mary, What a gorgeous
puppy she is!!! We became to love her so much!
She arrived NO
problem, although she was in mud poop. On
the way to our house she didn't get motion sickness. Instead, she was very
lively.
It is amazing
that how tough and healthy she might be.
I have got the
file and read some of the useful papers, thank you.

Hi, Here are some
photos of our precious puppy, Lady. It's been very cold but we didn't want to
keep her inside. She made some friends already and looked very happy in snow.
She is also
settling down a bit and follows Manly, our dog everywhere.
There is one
thing that we can't make her do her business inside of the house. We want her to
pee on the toilet sheet inside the house as well as outside because it is very
convenient in
Japan. But she doesn't seem to like it at all Have you taught her not to
pee in the house? or even on the paper?
Other than that,
we have been doing great and are so happy having her here.

Hi Mary and
Stephen, It's getting hot and humid here in
Japan .Lady will be 6 months old soon and weighs nearly 12kg now. She is
becoming a great companion dog and sport dog.
We often take her
to various dog sports competition places and many people often ask us what breed
she is.
Last a few
frisbee dog competition, Lady competed in retrieve category and won the third
prize! She even caught the soft frisbee several times!!! I didn't really train
her to catch it in the air but she naturally did it! Enjoy some photos
of her top form.

Mary and Stephen,
It's been extremely hot and humid here in
Japan.
Lady has been doing pretty good in this weather and she now likes water very
much. So we often take her to the beaches and rivers. She can swim pretty well!
I went to
Melbourne last week only for a week to catch up with my friends. I really wanted
to visit your stud to meet you and Lady's parents, but I didn't have enough time
to do that unfortunately.
One Saturday, I
went to see an agility trial in
Heidelberg and I met a woman who had a good looking Kelpie. I asked her where
she got that kelpie and found out that he came from your stud!!! No wonder he
looked familiar to me! I forgot his name..... something like Atilla or
something.... anyway, she, the owner said that she spoke to you a few weeks ago.
You might know who I am talking about?
Anyway, I was so
happy to meet the kelpie that are from your stud and I just wanted to tell you.
I hope to see you next year!!!

"Dear
Mary and Stephen, It's been nice and calm weather here in Japan. Autumn is
always nice to do lots of dog sports.
Lady
has grown beautifully and has been doing pretty well. She has visited old
people's home a few times and gave them warm paw. She has won the first prize at
Frisbee competition in beginner level. And now we started doing a bit of
agility. I found that Lady loves jumping and running very much and she enjoys it
so much!
One
more thing we really would like her to do is sheep-dog-trial. There aren't many
places that she can do it here in Japan. Actually, there is only a few farm with
amusement park. I am not sure if we can let her do it unfortunately. I am
positive that she will perform beautiful and we like to see it, you know.
I
will keep you up to date."

NOONBARRA YETI

Well
little Yeti finally arrived and she is just gorgeous!!!! Such a little
darling. She is having a rest in her crate, I put a nice little comforter in
there and left it open for her to rest in when she wants to. We have started in
earnest with the toilet training and so far we are 1-4 lol Once she settles over
the next few days, I am sure it will get easier. Anyway, I'll be in touch
again soon but just wanted to let you know that she was here and safe in our
care.
-------------------
Yeti is going fantastically well. We went for our
first proper walk today to the shops and she was a bit nervy on the way, lots of
cars/trucks going past and being Singapore there are so many different smells
around (which she found delightful), on the way home you would think she had
walked it a million times as she was so confident, my son was on his scooter and
they ran side by side. She is going great guns with the toilet training, not one
poo inside at all and only a couple of little wee accidents the first 24 hours.
I am just making sure I get her outside after she eats, sleeps, plays etc. and
it all seems to be working well.
Have attached two photos of her, she loves her pet futon and rolls around with
her toys on there and is happy to sleep there in the open door. She absolutely
loves her crate too, I leave it open all day and she just jumps in and has a
rest when she wants. Her crate training is amazing, you guys did a great job.
Gave her, her first chicken wing today, I didn't want to introduce too much food
too early in case it upset her tummy, so just wanted to wait a few days after
arriving, she devoured it in minutes! Take care and thanks so much. - Rachel,
Ben, Ollie & Yeti. xxx
