Mirare Bergamasco Shepherd Dogs - Australia

On Sunday just past, Mirabel was entered in the Samoyed Club of Victoria's Sprintdog trial at KCC Park in Melbourne. Sprintdog requires the dog to run down a straight, 100m track usually after a fake "lure" (we use plastic bags here!), however the dogs can also do a recall if preferred.

She gained her Novice Sprintdog title late last year and now has some points on the board towards her 2nd title in this sport. Her speed was just under 32kmph.

Please enjoy these photos of her running her heart out, courtesy of Kellie Jayne Photography. And one taken at home with her pass card and ribbon 🥰

He makes me laugh so much 😆 such a typical, goofy boy.

It feels like you have been here forever, but it also feels like the time has gone so fast!

Happy 6 months to my funny not-so-little man, Falkor 🥰

And of course, happy 6 months to the rest of the Arneis Bergamasco Shepherd Dogs - Australia "moth" litter.

How quickly they grow!
The first photo is shortly after Falkor came home, just 8 weeks of age.
The 2nd photo is him a week off 6 months.
Mirabel's coat change is also quite significant! The hair on her head is now less wooly and more harsh and "goat like".

Always watching 👀

Bergamascos are keen observers and love to rest their chin while keeping an eye on things.

And yes, they can see very well even with their hair over their eyes ;)

Mirabel caught in a lovely free stack in the backyard 😎
Love how our beautiful girl is maturing and her coat is really coming through now 😍 bye bye puppy floof!

On Saturday, Falkor and I went out to a local dog-friendly Cafe to try out their special doggy menu! Falkor got the grilled beef steak with veggies and I think we can safely say he approved 😋

Some photos of Mirabel (Ch Arneis Call Me Little Sunshine N.SPRD) from a few weeks ago that I forgot to share 🥰🥰
She absolutely loves her time in the ring, a natual show-off.

Mirabel is 18 months old today 🥰

Not sure where that time has gone!
