Dasher Down is excited to welcome new pack member Nova! She showed a keen interest in driving daddy’s new Charger but did eventually fall asleep on the armrest on the door 😋 She is getting along very well with the entire pack!

It is with a heavy and severely broken heart that Dasher Down Kennels said goodbye to the most wonderful dog that ever lived. Baloo Sir Pouncelot the Grey has crossed the rainbow bridge and is with his ancestors now. Trixie Nymeria Parker has taken over the role of pack leader, as well as the royal frisbee.

Baloo Sir Pouncelot the Grey, emperor of Iowa, king of Coralville, ruler of the Forevergreen Heights Subdivision, chanpion of teatherball and Protector of the Pack - was very busy acquiring the State of Minnesota today, attending the RenFaire, sitting on the Iron Throne (as emperors do) and ordering room service!

We had a beautiful family reunion today: Auntie Lucy (Baloo’s littermate), and her most recent nieces, Phoebe (formerly known as Maddie) and Luna (formerly known as Tahiti). The little girls had a play date and it was great to see them so happy. Luna Is turning into a very confident young lady, and both puppies are still super snuggly. Miss Lucy continues the family tradition of excelling at fetch and frisbee.

6 years ago and today - Lucy, Baloo Parker’s beautiful littermate (who still lives in the family) 🥰

Fun fact of the day: as you can see in the photos from yesterday, little Skupper’s nose is turning brown. This means that his genetic coat color is chocolate brown or red merle (and the ee red gene is turning all light and dark brown hair into blonde hair). 🥰

Rolo and Skupper, the two remaining puppies that will live with us. They both do that one-ear-up-one-ear-down thing that their great-grandpa Skye the Great introduced into the Dasher Down gene pool. And as expected, coming from a long line of extra beautiful and handsome border collies, these two are turning out quite stunning!
