“D” Litter – Diesel’s Agility – Tunnel Love!

Posted By Sandy Wilson on September 13, 2009

Dieseltun

Diesel is living in West Virginia on a farm with lots of different animals, but his best friend is a miniture poodle named Riot.  And truly they are a “Riot” together.  Evidently they both love agility and the tunnel seems to be one of Diesel’s favorite pieces of equipment.  This puppy was one of our first to go and  he has done quite a bit already for his age.  He started out swimming at a very young age – less than 8 weeks old.  Probably will be an olympic swimmer some day, ha, ha!

Little Meadow Sheep Farm wishes Diesel lots of luck with his agility career!

The Gals – Past Puppies at Little Meadow Sheep Farm

Well it seems as though we have produced far more girls than boys in our litters, but that is just the way the ball bounces.  One cannot control mother nature.

OUR GALS

Arla vd. Kleinen Wiese

Arla vd. Kleinen Wiese

Arla is a pup I kept out of Hera and Diesel’s litter.  She showed attraction to me from a very young age and when she was tested on lambs for her working ability and grip, she was perfect.  I knew I had a winner.  From a very young age of about 5-6 weeks she showed interest in our lambs and alot of confidence.  Today she has proven to be super worker and loves to herd the sheep.  She is my working dog at present and going to have puppies soon!   I can hardly wait.

Amber is from our first litter also.  She  is a very high energy dog that loves agility – she is so agile and boy can she move.   She lives with a family that has four children and so she has plenty of activity at home besides being a competitve dog in the ring.  This dog has speed, focus and drive that is fantastic!

Callie vd. Kleinen Wiese

Callie is another very exuberant pup who is training for her AKC Obedience title.  In the picture above she is a young pup, but yet shows good focus and attention at a young age.  She is a beautiful mover and has a lovely temperament.   This pups loves to retrieve!
Cora vd. Kleinen Wiese

Cora is also a companion dog who lives with two young children who just adore her.   Cora is great with kids and also lives with another GSD.  The family is planning on training her in agility.  Go Cora!
Contessa vd. Kleinen Wiese "Tessa"

Contessa vd. Kleinen Wiese "Tessa"

Contessa, who we always called Tessa, was an energetic puppy with lots of personality – what a fun dog.  My boys loved playing with her when she would chase them around and around – she was a live wire.  She lives on a goat farm in NY – not sure if she is herding the goats yet, but I am sure she would be happy to help out!
Chloe vd. Kleinen Wiese

Chloe vd. Kleinen Wiese

Chloe as a young pup.   Her ears are up now and she is quite mature.  She is another family companion.   Chloe is learning agility and she also enjoys playing with the owners six grandchildren.  Chloe loves to spend time in the pool watching the grandkids play in the water.
That’s all we have time for now, but more on past pups later as we have news of their accomplishments.

Amber von der Kleinen Wiese

Posted By Sandy Wilson on May 21, 2009

Amber is another one of our “A” litter puppies who is out there working, but not with sheep.  Instead she is an agility “Queen”.  She is a very intense dog with great focus on commands and accuracy on her equipment.  She loves to work and doesn’t need any type of motivation to get her into action.   These dogs are just happy to work, any kind of work or maybe I should say play!

Amber is very athletic and very quick.  I have never seen a dog do weave poles like she does.  Her body is so flexible, she is like a snake slinking between the poles.  She has many titles in agility, but I am not up to date on all of them.  When I get all her titles, I will post them, as I would not want to leave any of them out.

Amber lives in PA as a family companion and a competition dog.  Amber lives with  4 young children who she adores and loves to play with, but she also takes her agility very seriously.

Good luck Amber in your agility trials.  We look forward to hearing more about you in the future.
