One Nan out One Nan In
Wow, where has 3 months gone. So much for keeping up with this blogging stuff. If anyone's visited my website lately http://www.baxterbordercollies.com/, they'll notice Nanna is no longer on the website. That is because Nanna has found a loving home with Kevin Bradbeary's mother, who was looking for another companion. It was a hard decision to make, but I know it was the best thing for our girl. Nanna gave me a very good start in my trialing career and I'll be forever thankful, but she just wasn't getting out and getting used for the past year and it was taking a toll on her. We could tell she was really depressed about taking the back burner. So we made the decision to quit holding onto her for sentimental reasons and let her make someone else as happy as she made us. So, Nanna's living the good life as a pet and spending alot of her time indoors.
It wasn't long after Nanna went to her new home that Alba Nan came to us from Tom and Ruth Hines. We are absolutely thrilled to have her. Nan was bred to Roper's Jackson, who is standing at Oaktree Border Collies, prior to coming here and we are excited about raising a litter for the first time in a long time. Check out Jackson's page http://www.oaktreebc.com/jackson.html and Nan's page http://www.baxterbordercollies.com/nan.html for information on the breeding.
We've had her now for a couple weeks and have been trying to figure each other out. She's a high-drive dog and has all the want to in the world, she just needs to figure out who the boss is. I like her spunk. She reminds me alot of Blaze and anyone who knows me, knows how crazy I am about him. I'm sure we'll get the kinks ironed out quickly and we're hoping to make a few trials this year with her after the pups are weaned.
