Arbor's Ava Adore Sheep Herding

Standard Schnauzers are a versatile breed.   The video below is the first time Ava was introduced to sheep at 13 months of age.

ARBOR's ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Abe was 13 months old when this picture was taken May 2015.  It is his first confirmation point.  I am very proud of this boy.  We are also training in Agility and plan to start competing by 2016.  He is from my "A" Litter.  B litter is planned for Spring 2016.

Arbor's August Presence: Development of Performance Dog

August is our last available puppy.  I held onto him because I was deciding between him and his brother Abe.   I did make a final choice (although I do change my mind every so often!) and decided to re-home August to a performance home.  As you can see by this video: He is a very busy and agile boy.  May 2015  update.  August has found his forever home.  He was place last fall with a loving family in Conn and he is keeping everyone busy on their little homestead!

Week 7 - Arbor Standard Schnauzer "A" Puppies

Well,  this is my final full week with ALL the puppies.  It is sad and happy moment for me.  I will miss them soooo much and at the same time,  I know they soon need that one-on-one human attention that I could not give to all 10.    I am very proud of each of them and there is little I would do differently.   I know each of them will make their new families very happy.  So for their 7th week birthday they got a bottle pool, a tunnel and different chew toys.  Also Liz is playing one on one with MS Red.  I think she will miss them more than me.
