Six Poky Puppies

Six roly-poly poky puppies arrived on the farm this week.

 

 Pippa is a Mummy again and she loves her babies, and so do I. 

These puppies arrived on Sunday, it took all day and all night for all six to arrive.

They are so very tiny and have not even opened their eyes. They are very sleepy.

They whimper softly. 

These puppies will grow up to be working dogs just like their Mum and Dad.  

The Working Gang

Sometimes things can get pretty busy on the farm. 

We often have extra helpers come in to help with big jobs like shearing, crutching, scanning and fencing.

But we always have a team of willing helpers in the working gang of dogs.

Please meet...... Peppa, Pippa, Gibson, Bear and George.

They are a great team! 

We use the dogs when we work the sheep. 

They help keep the sheep together as a mob and direct them the right way.

I also help Dad and Mum. Sometimes by clapping my hands or shaking the rattler or........

 just staying out of the way.

Most of our working dogs are kelpies except for Bear he is a border collie, he is very old.

Last year Pippa and Gibson had puppies, Pippa had 6 pups we kept two pups

 and this is the family all grown up!

My favourites are Gibson and George.
