Griffin Update

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

(Griffin is from Gabby’s 2006 litter.  His puppy name was Snow.  He had unusual white marking as a pup.  He made a beautiful dog.  Griffin lives in Austin with Linda.) 

McCalls English Shepherd

Update:   My little Griffin turned two this week, as you probably remember.  See how beautiful he is!  This is a picture with my neighbor and her dachsund that spends every day with Griffin.  So they work and play everyday and have each other as company.
 I am so proud to have this dog.  He is a very happy dog.  He has alot of neighborhood friends.  This is a really dog friendly neighborhood.   We go to the park twice a day, a few  blocks from my house.  Today a neighbor asked me to help her socialize her new puppy with Griffin.  He is known as a very sweet, playful, smart and funny dog.  We have a golden retriever, Bailey, one house away.  Her owner loves to go to the park with us because Griffin does these “run bys” with her dog.  It is so funny.  Just as they are about to catch the ball he will run by and almost bump them so they miss the ball.  So far the other dogs are tolerant.  Anyway Griffin is a much beloved dog by me and my neighbors.

I can’t tell you how much  I love this dog.  He is a great dog.  Everyone stops me on the street to comment on how beautiful he is.   I feel so lucky that I found you and as a result I have a wonderful dog.  


New Pups Arrive Feb 12, 2006

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

Gabby and her daughter, Daisy, both had pups on February 12, 2007.

Gabby had 12 pups.. 4 girls and 8 boys. Gabby was a perfect Mom and had her pups in a crate in the lab. Everything went perfect.

Daisy had 5 pups ..2 girls and 3 boys! This was a surprise! We didn’t know she was pregnant till the last minute. She was working cows, jumping around acting normal. And then we realized her teats were swollen. She decided to have her pups under the old bush hog in the woods.. one of her favorite spots as a pup. Unable to dig them out, we had to wait till she thought they were ready to be seen.

At about 3 weeks we moved Gab and her pups to a stall in the main barn. Daisy thought that was a keen idea and decided to move her pups into the next stall down.

What a sight! The pups are now up and about. Yesterday after pictures we built a play yard for the pups and turned both litters in together.
