Dances With Dogs Retrievers
would like to introduce our newest edition to
the Dances family, Cherokee Farms Ceridwen or
just Sweet Sarah to us. She is AKC registered as
well as APR registered. She comes to us from
Denver, Colorado. Sarah is a bit on the smaller
side for a Wolfhound, she weighs in at 130
pounds and is 35 inches at her withers. But, she
comes with Champions in her background and both
her parents are OFA Excellent on hips. She is
the sweetest girl, and she loves to jump on the
couch with you. Not to lie down though, she
jumps up and stands over you with a toy wagging
her tail waiting to play.
Henry and
Isabelle are growing literally every day. They are 7
months old
now and Henry is
already bigger at the withers than three-year
old-Sarah. He is going to be a big fellow. Henry kind
of marches to his own drum, slow and steady seems to
be his motto, but when he lays his head in your lap
his eyes are mesmerizing, you can almost see Medieval
knights battling in the background. He has such
ancient eyes, gentle and kind. Henry seems to learn
lessons quicker than Isabelle.
Isabelle,
sigh, Isabelle!! She is just a ball of curious
energy. If something crashes, it’s
Isabelle, if something gets
mysteriously pulled off the counter top, it’s
Isabelle, she just gets so interested in what
all the other dogs are doing at dinner time she
forgets to eat until we shoo every one else
outside so she can eat her dinner. She is my
shadow, if I move to another room so does
Isabelle. Izzy has decided that it would just be
rude to let me use the bathroom alone so she
stuffs herself in the bathroom with me, so proud
of herself. Getting Izzy to focus and learn
tasks is a challenge.
Henry walks along calmly on a
leash;
Izzy bounces just
like Tigger all around you tying both of you up in
the leash. Yes, in the photo (right) that is Isabelle
with her head stuck between my knees. Sarah and Henry
waited so patiently for the photo while we took
pictures of Izzy’s hindquarters and everything else,
until Kenny snapped this photo. It was so Isabelle!
We just had to leave it as it was. She is a lover
though, and stays close enough for me to reach down
and scratch her ears at almost anytime. She sleeps
with me on the couch; her dark eyes are filled with
love and curiosity.
Sarah will
be bred in January so watch for Wolfie puppies.
