Here are the latest shots from Jazzy, keeping warm and dry.  Thanks for sending in all the puppy updates.  They are all looking great!

Just got this update from New York.  It looks like Barley reads the Sunday paper.

Dutch came out to work with birds today (pigeon and chukar), his first time working with birds.  He did great!

He got to revisit his “birthplace” and wrestle with his brother, Xupe.  We were delighted to reconnect with him.  Dutch is a fine looking boy with a great coat.  We heard he conked out in the car on the way home (photo below).

We took a car ride after dinner, down the road a ways, checking out nearby barns as we prepare for construction of ours to begin.

Xupe’s baby teeth are all out now and his adult teeth are coming in.  If you have one of Xupe’s siblings, check on his/her teeth.  A rubber chew toy worked great for Xupe in getting some of the teeth out.   Rawhides are good, too.  Big, really thick string toys work well, but you need to monitor them as the strings can come undone and will need to be trimmed completely off.

The last snow is receding and the grass has started greening.  Finally, we’re having a gorgeous spring day!

Chev looks pretty relaxed in this photo.  He’s waiting for Finley to finish being “in season”.  Thankfully he’s had Xupe to distract him and keep him company.

Hopefully this is the last of the snow for this year.  Happy Easter from Norling Rise with wishes that you’re enjoying spring wherever you are!

Look at this sweet shot of Dutch that we recently received.  His people report that he’s doing well on puppy training.  He sure looks well-behaved! Once again, Biff and I are amazed at how much all of the puppies look like both Chev and Finley.

We received this great photo of Aya recently.  The first-born of all the puppies, she’s looking good and, as is true of many of her littermates, reminds Biff and I of both Chev and Finley.
