Here is Ollie (Alkemi Breaking Away LS) demonstrating his new job, thanks to his mom Pat! Wow! This will come in handy for his NADAC Chances runs!
Jim’s first question was “how did she stop him from ripping the paper up”…(obviously Jim has lived with Vallhunds for nearly a decade)
Congratulations to Lobo (Alkemi Beowulf del Roble LS) on earning his Canine Good Citizen today in Washington! His mom Jan said he was a superstar and charmed everyone. Well done Jan and Lobo!
I can’t believe they are six months old already! (as I get more pictures and vital stats I will post them, this is what I have so far):
Lobo (Alkemi Beowulf del Roble LS) is 23 pounds and 11″ at the withers, working on tracking, agility and his Canine Good Citizen:

Ollie’s mum Pat sent these great pictures of Ollie. Pat says: “As you can see he is growing fast now. He is as tall as his best friend, corgi Sandy. My very reactive dog, Sky, is now very tolerant of him and they even play. As I have never seen her play with another dog, this was a real treat to watch. Ollie attended his first agility trial two weekends ago. Ollie made progress walking in and out calmly and working with me around other dogs. It was a horse arena, I did not do well keeping him distracted from bits of horse poop. Seems my treats are not as good as them. Ollie can now sit, down, shake hands, and is learning left and right. He has a stay at mealtime but not translated well to a stay in general so we are working on that. Everyone who sees him is crazy about him. I can go nowhere that I don’t get stopped to tell all about him. He is a great Vallhund ambassador since he just wags and loves every one he meets.”
Awesome!

Headless Corghund!

Here is Lobo stalking and pouncing on his new Sheltie friend Sophie:
Creeping up….
GOTCHA!
Here is Colby (Alkemi Batman LS) out for a walk on a beautiful day:
Here is Zhora at 3 months/13 weeks, she is awesome if I do say so myself: loves to work, scary-smart (she figured out Crate Games in maybe four treats), loves everyone. And I think she’s kinda purty too!
Zhora – 3 months
There is concern that ears are getting too small in this breed…I have singlehandedly fixed that problem! (She will grow into them!)
