Smooth Collie - Border Collie

Half of us went out in full force. All flowers and I somehow catch up all born around still cared for garden. But flowers are surprisingly viable and quite a lot of them myself vysemenila. So it seems that this year will again be full of blooming flowers, if I make a weed. The set of trees are blooming, they are cherry and apple trees also faded slowly ends. Under one beautiful apple blossom build an enclosure for the chickens, which we here are still missing. Fields around us are the same as elsewhere in the country now full of blooming rape with us but it sometimes alternates with yellow dandelions and the pastures.

Sheep have also shed the winter coat, of course we had to cut remedial help, but the weather was favorable and in a few hours it was done. Sheep are now such an unusually naked . Lambs have almost 50 and he can crowd into one and start playing, it's pretty fun to watch. They often go to sleep under a roof and I hear noises in the evening, how do we chase and jump. And kids with added flavors - you have four. This year we enjoyed but also inconvenience - with krkavcema. I never wanted to believe they would be able to kill a live lamb. Unfortunately this year I saw it with my own eyes, even managed to shoot something as proof. We lost a few lambs and before I realized that the only defense is to be before dawn in the pasture and watch newborn lambs (the older one had dare). Before last week gave birth to young replacement ewe lambs, so finally sleep.

Spring cleaning this year, I started from around the house. We invited excavator and it took him a whole day before everything had to be cleaned up and put in order. Still we will have to manually tighten, but managed to clean up and instead be the biggest pile. And because the technique is important, last year we bought a big tractor. It's an old Zetor, but the engine is in good condition, so hopefully it will serve. We also bought him right rotary press, spatula and nahrabovač. Perhaps this year you will make hay alone.

A few "dog" news. Bella (Flying Easy Squeeze Ear) from Claire has puppies. Born with her ​​two blue merle males and are registered under our kennel as litter CH. Lex (Alex Flying Ear) got the club show last needed CAC and Champion klubovému to work and joined the club champion Congratulations! And Gerda from last litter Čerynky you put on exhibition career. So far, just trying to show the atmosphere, but has a very nice opinions.

And news from me. Since I was a lot of people racing to update the site frequently, I chose such a little compromise. I'll take the album PICTURE OF THE DAY - May, where I try every day or almost every day and add one extra show at a glance what's new or what we managed a nice catch.

5.16 at night we brought caravan while waiting on the road, 17.5 dotáhnul handy tractor driver and then the caravan pushed into place behind the house, it can begin its renovations

Easter is coming and the birth of our farm is in full swing. For the first time with us as kids were born. The annual goat Luis was born at the very first triplets. Unbelievable ! Two shotgun and goats. Shotgun start jumping longer and rival, who is stronger, and they are only 4 days. My mom is patient and careful, yet it manages to feed without any problems and it's started to walk with the rest of the pasture.

And because goats are rather delicate creatures, the guys decided that they will create a house. To goatskin mobile, they gave him a wheel and we called him "VOZÍN". Still it lacks finish and roofing, but it immediately began goats become established. You can see that wagons have them Do not take that into the music chapel . Now, will travel with them, depending on which part of the pasture will graze.

Nearly all older sheep had given birth. We have over thirty lambs and it is possible that even some of the ten last year jehniček also surprise us some lamb. For the first time I withstand, two births, when I could not get the doctor and I had to cope alone with a bad location lamb. Fortunately, with the help of my experienced advice and managed to book lambs and to compare both sheep and lambs are OK. If all goes well, we could end up around forty. That's a nice number. Mainly I do not see how the sheep can quickly break down to feed, if you need twenty lambs playing on one meeting. And for those who are interested why not our classic white lambs - it is a boat race or kříženky forest and those lambs are born dark and turn white with time, like kladrubáci ... the last photo is a clean boat with Forest lambs.

  Today the snow with us. It is true that April weather is now in place, but I hope the snow melts in the morning. Already because of the fry in the pasture. Sheep lambs led to the sheepfold, they do not go there much, but now they are around and all the lambs, kids and adult goats are buried in the hay. I remembered how there were bitter frosts this year, but during the day used to be sunshine, so the sheep a little heated. So a few commemorative photos of the winter.

March is the month in our lambs. Due to climate drsnějšímu Broumov plan births sheep until it really begins to spring. The first twins were born on Sunday, another on Monday. Devil decided to surprise us. She gave us each year, one lamb, one ewe lamb last year - that we had of course - and flung it into this year and finally gave birth to twins ...... more to girls . Other sheep are spilled, so I run constantly on the pasture, to be at hand if needed.

Puppies are settled in their new homes. This is Hannah, who lives in Hradec, so we have it close to her and we were visiting. It is great, a friend has a rabbit (originally purchased as a dwarf ) Which was at first almost as big as her. But Hanna quickly realized that she is the one who will have the upper hand. Still playing together very nicely.

And this is Heidi, who with his friend kraťandí lives in northern Moravia. Everything they learn and repeat after Dasty older, so her owner Martin will still have a little less work.

And here's one more photo after the first one .... Frieda (Halloween), the other is trikolorka honeybee is the third and last year's Sněhulčina daughter Gia, who lives in Poland. I thank all owners for the beautiful pictures!

And note the dates for herding us .... I have already prepared and I gave the base to the section ACTIONS .... but I will still add to our other events .... Puppy reunion Flying Ear, art symposium, Faculty of Fine Arts plein air workshop and physicians about natural medicine

Little girls grow as a dog from the water, they were already 5 weeks. Every moment they arrive muchlací a visit, start playing with Maniac, especially with so many Sněhulkou and Crain nevysávají mom, because getting pellets. And with them was fun. It will not be long before you pack up her bundle and go into the world. Merle lass will go to both Moravia and Bohemia trikolorky will. One of Prague and the other remains in Hradec.

The beautiful, almost spring weather last week drove us into the fields and forests. Cuba went on to shoot Lakes cormorants, herons and wild geese, and I joined with part of the pack. There was a lot of wintering birds, ducks, grebes, Rohace, Poles and many others. A beautiful trip.

We wish all our štěníkům, their masters and other friendly people all the best for 2012. Whether it is for a pleasant, relaxing and successful in everything.

Crain was born 12.8 puppies. It was a few days before, but the main thing is that mom and bug health. We have four girls dog, two tricolor from his father and two blue merle the mother. So far, just purring and Crain became extremely conscientious mother that the little chap good care.

Autumn arrived, we were not unexpected. I found that for the whole summer, I had no time to go somewhere on the mountain, not counting my infrequent maneuver into our home main season. So we used some beautiful autumn days and went to the Eagle Mountains, to the mountains and Rýchory. The Eagle Mountains, we have grown nicely met viper (fortunately nedošlápnul Cuba and could make it jump), we met in Rýchory deer, drag saw flocks bernešek and visited the Giant goat farm, a little bit from us.

Rubka works at the Institute in Slatiňany canistherapy as a dog, but other than that runs coursing, racing in grazing (ZVOP passed the test, HWT IHT 1, 2, and 3) and in obedience trials (ZZO, ZOP, ZPU 1). Well and now tracker It's an incredibly wide range. Eriko congratulations to you both!!

  Not far from us was in the quarry Rozmital open a new trail. And because my dad was there for some time assisted with entomological survey, accompanied him to Sněhulkou its opening. It's a very nice place, definitely recommend to visit (but it needs to capture the good weather, because there are beautiful views of the Broumov basin).

The weekend of 10th - 11 9th 2011, our farm gate in the stone Martínkovice Championship held in traditional style herding. On Saturday consisted ZVOP basic tests and HWT in the traditional style for a border collie and Sunday already held a master trial. Arbitration time we have invited from abroad. It was the Schelde from W. Germany, which specializes in traditional style. Trial was attended by a total of 15 dogs, of which 8 are in the toughest group by IHT3. Several riders came from Austria and from Poland. Performances were very close, so it happened that the second and third split between the two competitors with the same number of points. In the first place by IHT3 placed a pair of Austrian Gerlinde Krachler s bearded collies Jull. The second and third place is shared by Sue Black welsh corgi Barber and Ewa Kolbl s bearded collies Erin. Sue Black also became champion of the CR. Judges praised the performance very stařičkého dog that even in his age could make a flock of sheep jumping. Big congratulations to Alex includes our Flying Ear with Petra Capek, who won the third title CACT and thus qualify as the first in the history of CR Champion CZ for work shorthair collie. Petro thanks for the representation! In group IHT1 by Ian won first place with the German shepherd Čermáková themselves to the holidays with us and trained for a very short time he managed to teach themselves the sheep so much that it gave to this beautiful location. In second place was Karolina from Poland shelties Bella and the third Austrian racers with Australian shepherd. Traditionally IHT1 participated in the Slovak footed with a DVM. Valterova. Arbitration very pleased that my own eyes saw the breed sheep graze and was directly excited by the us can be footed sheep encounter. The event was a success and many thanks for including Dibaque company that sponsored the event FITMIN branded food.

Video Petra and Lex, who finished fifth overall in the place in the championship at the 3rd place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIxD3ak58Ag

Before the race gave Mr. W. Schelde, who brought with him to help the multiple champion of Germany, two in the afternoon of training, which met with great interest, both among competitors, as well as referees and instructors. Due to the fact that W. is one of the co-creators Schelde Examination Regulations for the traditional style, it was extremely important for us to refine and clarify certain elements. Zároveň showed us on the individual dogs, as some exercises you can teach a dog how to be implemented and what the errors in these exercises may occur. As a new element was first used in our passing herds moving vehicle - so far we only use the vehicle alone. We were in suspense, whether the dog can herd to maintain discipline and mainly because the sheep are not accustomed to passing a moving vehicle. But almost all dogs from group 3 immediately understood the situation and flock easily transferred by road even if it is gradually passing in both directions, a small tractor.

On our farm we have brought new additions. They are brown goats this year, two sisters from very good breeding. Spásaly slopes PLA Czech Paradise and so are quite wild. Our Lisa Pippa and the wonder is not enough. Both tomboys yet remain tied (otherwise we may never get caught) and I go to them every two hours, I wear them with something good to eat with the help of our goats are socialized. Were named Thelma and Louise and Louise is so shy that, before leaving for our farm was a breeder greenhouse. Above the eye now has a few stitches. But I feel that after several days of becoming calmer. They're willing to take a feed from your hand and Pippa walk tirelessly with them to play. Thelma yet it drives away from each other, but that Pippo not happy, jumping around them and apparently they sometimes gets on my nerves.

The month of August was marked by training. I myself did not have time to do some photos, so I borrowed some pictures from Daniela and her Dajaverácké borderčí party that there spent almost the entire holiday week, anything from Alice, anything from growing and Michael .... She went with us quite a diverse mix of dog breeds . Most border collies, of course, but also some Aussie, kraťandy, belgičáci and even came and wonderful creatures - Kelpie Kuky Yellow Dog enjoyed herding (all enjoyed it very clearly), panic, then explore the rocks and the beautiful nature and most importantly it was great that all these were men in our meeting very nice people. So I think we all enjoyed the beautiful summer days.

On Saturday and Sunday, the 9th - 10 7th took place in our test farm and grazing in the trial as in the traditional style, as well as Border Collies. Training prior to race week, on which many of our friends gathered, the team arrived from Dajavery and even some newcomers arrived. All week the weather was beautiful, so we really enjoyed it. The trial judge and the test came, Mr. Miroslav Kosko, one of our best, but also the toughest judges. The hardest trial TS 3 has not reached or one of three dogs. It was an extremely difficult trial, and a traditional style, I dare say that was the most difficult, which is held in recent years. The racers were many difficult elements, such as avoiding the tractor indicated communication or outrun the 150m. TS 2 Trial ended in the following order: 1 Alexandra from Poland Rosniak shelties Blue, 2 Krachler Gerlinde from Austria with Bearded Collies Othello, 3 Erika Fiantová s shorthair collie Barbucha Flying Ear. Trial 1, the TS 8 dogs participated, completed 4, although not one failed test points 1. John Zemková sheltie and Monty, 2 Dasha Tools No short-haired collie and the En týky Nirreterrit, 3 Mirek Novotny and short-haired collie Blackberry Flying Ear. Trial for CS1 border collie finally arrived first two dogs Mirek Vostřez and coud from Annie, 2nd Helen Cimický Kety and Ruby Heart. On Saturday exams ZVOP and HWT. There are dogs most successful and passed the test.

The atmosphere at the race was great, totally relaxed, which is evident from the images . Many thanks to judge Mr. Koška that came to us and was willing to give us things from their many years of experience. Both days for all of us were extremely informative. I thank also the two assistants who cared about the introduction of sheep to start and alternate between herds - Mirek Vostřezovi s Coudym border collies and Michal borderkama Henry and Katie and Punto, also many thanks to our farm, "crew" Jeník, Cuba, and Yancy, who cared about food, photography, the overall organization in the background and a few evenings spent making our medals of wool sheep . And last but not least, FITMIN company that has provided sponsorship.

And because time is coming, to remind candidates that in September at our farm will be training in herding. As a trainer arrives Schelde W. German judge, who will then assess and races and championships in the traditional style. Training will be held from 8 to 9.9 races and tests and then 10-11.9 The training is open to all applicants for grazing mainly in traditional style, but you need to report early because seating is limited. The increased number of candidates I opened one more week of training and from 31.8 - 4.9. Those who will train here, then next week could possibly pass the test. There will be tests in the traditional style and IHT 1-3 HWT and HWT border collie and the first IHT Of course both days will take place ZVOP tests.
