Well, we got up and roaded early this morning. The moon was still up and the sun was only beginning to lighten the sky. There was a light mist hanging over the grass and fields as we started out. We were able to set the roading teams early in the process which should make for a great workout regimen for the dogs.. We always pair the dogs up to get the best fit for each dog this year it looks like we have achieved that early for the field trial dogs. They are Kane/Knikki (front left bar) Star/Mali (front right bar) Cam/Cord (rear left bar) Tucker/Rhemy (rear right bar). We are trying a new roading course which is over BIA land and it seems to be working. The course is "T" shaped and has water stations at every mile. The pups Doc and Colin, Dolly, Tymora, Stubby, Diana, Chester, Isis, Mia, Loki, Xena, and Heracles.
With this post I felt I would write about the real "family" affair camp here in SD is turning out to be - with just about all the dogs here - related to each other in some way.
Buster and Tech (viszlas) are related through Ray Cooper's kennel in Longview, TX. They are both biddable and powerful dogs.
Lucy, Cam, Cullen, Dot (irish setters) are actually our least related of the bunch. Lucy is related to cam on moms side, Cullen on dad's side but not related to Dot.
Squirt and Dot (Pointers) are both related through Shadows Attitude.
The rest of the dogs here are llewellins.
Jackie and Tucker are littermates - but are 1/2 siblings through their sire to: Knikki, Rhemy, Diva, Trevor, and Jackson. As well as Stubby, Loki, Dolly, and Tymora. Through their dam they are 1/2 siblings to: Kiwi. As well as being related to Hailey
Doc - Is related through his sire to: Chester - Through his dam to: Cord,
Kane - Is related through his sire and dam to: Hailey, Mali, Knikki, Jackie, Tucker, Jake. There are more connections but suffice it to say - most of the llewellins here are closely related (sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts or uncles) to at least one of the other llewellins here at camp and this has been so, since our first summer on the prairie 5 yrs ago.
The major sires dams of the llewellin world and some not so major present in the pedigrees of many of these dogs are: Highway Dan, Arties Royal Mac, Shoeleathers Tanner, Southwind Blaze, Whiterock Brevet, Whiterock Sisi, Bodhi Windem, Whiterock Abbysina, Sassy Wind Em, Teasel Windem and others I am sure I missed.
