Thanks! She's a good girl. Lots of drive. I wasn't able to find a herding instructor in my area, so I'm kinda doing it myself. She'd never win a competition, probably, but as long as it works for us, that's good enough for me, lol. I did find a local place that does agility though! Thinking...

The breeds are likely closely related. When they first started developing the MAS, they started with dogs that were thought to possibly be small Aussies :)

I haven't been posting in here very well, haha. Pixel is a year old now! In fact, it's been a little over a year since I got her. Here's a picture from her birthday: She even had a birthday party at a local pet store where I've become friendly with the owner, and her dog friends came and...

She was actually really helpful today! A rooster got out and I needed to catch him and she chased him into a corner where I was standing and I nabbed him. Don't think she necessarily MEANT to chase him to me but hey, it worked, lol. She's a really great dog! I am disappointed only because she...

The other day the geese were out and I needed them in, and they know when I start walking at them what I want so they kind of just do it, lol. After ten years Lacie has it pretty much down and the other geese follow her. Pixel went running at them and they moved and then filed into the run and I...

I hadn't ever let Pixel totally off-lead before, but yesterday I was replacing the emu fencing and moving a chicken coop and decided to trust her and let her be loose. She did great! Never went far, came back every time I called her. I think she'll be allowed loose on the farm now.

She's good! We just got back from a trip to TSC and Petco and she picked out a toy and some chews. Which she is currently trying to 'bury' in my bed, lol. Here's her sister: https://my.embarkvet.com/dog/dolcie

Maybe! If the breeder is to be believed, this is a whoops and a one-off, so the dog would have to be from the same litter and about seven months old now.

I dunno if the breeder would, but I'm hoping this new owner will tell me if she was informed this was a possibility after I had contacted the breeder. In my case it's more I wanted a dog for a specific purpose, so I picked out a certain breed to fit that. Not getting that could be a problem...

So I just got a new DNA relative match on Embark - another puppy from Pixel's litter. Half MAS and half CKC, just like her. So she's not the only one! I just sent them a message and we'll see if they respond. I kinda wanna suss out if the breeder did what she should have done and let all the...

Pixel and I just got back from the groomer! She is now all clean (for the next hour, lol) and her paws are all trimmed up so she stops skidding on the hardwood floors, lol. The groomer loved her. Another person who said she wanted to lie and say she lost her and then keep her, haha. Look, she...

Her stitches just came out :) She is very happy to hear that she can go back to running and jumping and playing, haha. We will go to the dog park later so she can see her friends.

Donut dog!

I did! She gave me most of my money back, too. It was very possibly just Pixel that wasn't purebred, lol. My luck, haha. Oh well, she's perfect the way she is :) I actually mostly don't have her snapped in. It just coming down and covering the incision keeps her from really trying to go after...

At the advice of the vet, I ended up picking up three clearance baby onesies for Pixel to wear to keep her from her incision. So far this has been successful, and then when she's in her crate and I'm not directly watching her, she also wears her donut. Normally, no one ever walks by when I take...

Pixel gets spayed today. I know it'll be fine but I feel bad for her. Gotta drop her off at the vet in a couple hours, so we're playing. After the surgery she'll have to be kept quiet for ten days and THAT will be a task.

Pixel's losing teeth left and right and seriously teething now. So she needed something to chew on to keep her busy, but also low calorie because she's not very big. The solution? She is so proud of her carrot, too. Keeps showing it to everyone, haha.

Chewy's having their big yearly sale, so I got Pixel some stuff. The first thing I gave her was this zebra toy. I think she likes it, haha.

I signed Pixel up for Bark Box. I'd been considering it, and they sucked me in with this month's box - it's Jurassic Park themed. I've always been into dinosaurs, and Jurassic Park is very nostalgic for me (even though the dinosaurs are not very accurate, haha). They were having a special where...
