I shall try to keep a rough diary of our new GWP Coco, and include as many photos as possible.

She was born in the first week of Feb 08 and I picked her up from the English School of Falconry, blood lines include, the Complete Viking, a lot of Wiggmansburg and Bryantscroft.

As you can see from the pics she has not yet started getting fuzzy and so looks like a GSP at this stage.

Of course she is only really at the exploring her environment stage so far with subliminal bits of training that she won't notice!  She comes when called or whistled, sits and stays for her food and knows NO!

She knows that horses are big and best not runaround and this coming weekend we shall be out meeting the sheep for the first time.

Here are some pics:  Very Happy

Will follow your & Coco's progress - ESPECIALLY since you reformat the photos for fast download, such a delight for the poor folk without Broadband.
Good luck.

Today was an introduction to sheep and water. A friends border terrier is staying....

Fly


In!




THis is how to do it!




The guinea pigs


Really hard to get a photo of Coco sitting near the sheep so you will have to trust me. She whimpered a couple of times and got thwacked until she learnt to ignore them:



Very Happy

Wow, stunning pics!  Pleased to hear the sheep introduction went well.  I hate the buggers!

(If you ever get bored of Zola, send her up here - she really is GORGEOUS!).

You can have the border if you like Helen but I'm afraid that Zola is needed to fill the freezer. With the camera on Sports mode it is still hard to get a pic of Zola at speed that doesn't come out blurred!
