PyrShep Tani: January 2010

Tani ...

... was born in a litter of 4 puppies on December 25th 2008. She spent the first two months of her life in the Loubajac kennel in the French Pyrenees. Her mother is Pecquelette de Loubajac and her father Hob-Nob's Victor.

When she came to stay with me, we started Silvia Trkman's puppy school, followed by Sivia's tricks class and later on agility handling classes in LoLaBu training center. We do everything using only positive training techniques. We are very fond of Silvia and her dogs, specially the crazy little La who is Tani's 3/4 sister. We also attended handling classes with Daša Zakotnik and Polona Bonač.

Tani has many passions in her life. The biggest one is agility, of course, but she also loves playing with her beagle sister and BFF Xsara, hiding her toys in the most odd places, running through the fields and meadows, playing with sheep and eating.

Officially Winter

After one entire month of vacation, we're now back home. There is a lot of snow in Ljubljana and Tani loves it. But because of the snow we cannot do any agility right now, so I admit I kind of hope it won't last for too long. On the seaside we were able to go for one training with Tani, mostly for contacts. Big thanks to Maša who let us use their training facility for that purpose!

Fireworks for New Year's Eve were not as much of a problem as I feared they would be. I bought a dried pig nose with honey to each of my dogs, I know it sounds disgusting but they are supposed to be delicious. The dogs went crazy for them so Tani didn't even notice the fireworks until some genius decided to have their own show in the camp right under the house we were staying in. She did get a little uncomfortable then because it was so close, but it wasn't too horrible, she just wanted to stay very close to me and was breathing a little more heavily than she usually does. So I think that went pretty well.

Here are some new winter photos of Tani, again thanks to Polona :)
