So, I took my Malinois, Lynx, out for a day of herding. Then decided to toss my Shikoku puppy out there with the sheep to see what he would do, lol! 6 months 7 months ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` He did really well during his first run with the sheep at 6 months. Video clip will be coming soon! However, during his second and third run at 7 months...he tried taking a few bold nips at the sheep. I think him easier to work then Lynx. Even so, it doesn't look like he has the makings of a herding dog, this was just for my own personal amusement, lol. Besides sheep chasing is always fun. He'll make an EXCELLENT hunting dog though -grins-. He has drive for the chase and will most certainly bite the sheep.

That's freaking hilarious! You do the coolest stuff w/ your dogs - I'm envious. I love that last pic! ----

He looks like he's having so much fun! What a handsome boy. :)

That's so awesome! I guess he started getting a little too ambitious with the sheep. ;) Question! Do Shikoku like water? *last picture* ~

Brad - Whenever you and Jen have the time. Please, feel free to visit us (me and my dogs) again anytime. Bring a few members from your pack. If you stay long enough, we can do all sorts of fun and exciting canine extravaganzas. Kyla - =(^-^)= Thanks! Osy - After a long session of chasing sheep, in the heat and on the hot, burning ground...YES! I'd imagine that the water feels great, especially on the feet. Shikoku or other -nods-. Lynx always dunks herself inside the water tub, lol. Kei was content on just cooling off his feet.

I'm scrolling through the pics waiting for Kei to be shown dining in the next pic... lol! I'm glad he's a hunter, but the herding looks fun!

That last picture is a riot!

## sunyata · 2008-09-25T18:41:58.000Z
Ooh. Looks like fun! And Kei has the funniest look on his face in the tub. He seems to be thinking this is wet, but nice and cooooool. :)

## sujewel · 2008-09-25T20:41:57.000Z
Kei looks so happy in the tub. Like 'Ma, did you see me chasing the sheep??? That was soooo cool!'
