PyrShep Tani: February 2012

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.

Happy Gotcha Day :)

It's been exactly 3 years since Tani and I met for the first time. It seems like it was yesterday, I can remember it so clearly. The smell of Spring flowers in the Pyrenees, the joy that filled my heart when I realized that my long time dream would finally come true, the sparkles in Tani's eyes when she was jumping up and down being such a cute and carefree little puppy ... I always get so sappy when I talk about her :) I love every second we spend together, and all I wish for is to have many many more happy and healthy years together and many many sweet little kisses that she will selflessly share. Can't get enough of those. Happy Friendaversary, Tani!

Winter Training

Although we have extremely low temperatures and we're freezing way below 0°C, we still regularly train and go for long walks. Of course, I make sure Tani is properly warmed up when it's so cold outside, but she would go nuts if we had more than an occasional lazy day once in a while. She really enjoys our training sessions with her dear friend Kaili and her Maruša. Here is a video of one of our very cold winter trainings :)
