AZAWAKH: Chill Out, Will Ya?

Tombouktou's Zegueren at 34 days old. Contact Dr. Gabriel Meißen about how to relax. And about this litter, too. 2 males and 3 females, more pics from Sunday below. I'll gladly trade places with Zegueren right now. I feel like I'm operating a restaurant in the 104 degree Fahrenheit (that's 40 degree Celsius)heat. Because that's the temperature in the shade right now. Think I'll call it Doggy Diner.

Dogs Run Free

Why don't we? I wish! Shown below is Bill Drake, formerly known
as Wild Bill, being a Mild Bill here. It is rare that I get any images of my black dogs - they usually come out a black blob. Below is Karrawarra Ari,
an Australian Kelpie co-bred by Tony Parsons and Kevin Howell (Australia). Ari is out of Karana Digger II, a multiple National Kelpie
Working Dog Winner, and Karrawarra Mallee. Ari is laid off work at the moment, recovering from a work injury. Below him are two images
of Stoli, a working retriever out of a very talented young male, AFC Teal Creek Patton's Saber and and equally talented

mother, Flyway's Ruby B Gonia, bred by Don and Helen Graves. Last image is of Stoli and Hightest Zipmarc QAA ('Cody') - enjoying the water version of running free. And Stoli's registered name is Zipmarc P.I.N.K. Vodka.
