I know! The ANCD looks beautiful! I just wish there was more info about them on the web!

He is hugely cute!

Thanks everyone

Took some video of Yarrow and his buddy Tamlyn playing yesterday. I missed the crazy full speed running around (Yarrow has been getting a bit quicker lately, he used to just trip over his own feet and fall on his face - he still has some growing to do before he is totally coordinated!), but thought I'd post this anyway....

Also here are a few pictures, it has been raining a ton lately so not the greatest picture taking weather...

Me and both my boys!

I wonder if Yarrow and Rann were to stand next to each other, who would look more wolfish?

Great pictures...I love Yarrow, and I love his tail - so poofy!

Pictures from today - Yarrow came out horse riding with us, for the second time. He does very well around the horses I'm happy to say! (and I apologize to those of you who see all my photos on facebook and then again here...)

Another little video of Yarrow playing in the yard, just cause he's cute

You have a very steady hand!

Brynne.. I seriously have to come visit you in BC.. the pictures you take of the area you live in.. stunning..
It's like the wish of an area I could want to live in!

Gaby · Post by **Gaby** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 7:42 pm

Well, I don't like Yarrow at all and he doesn't like the mountains, I can see it on his face. He likes flat countries, like the Netherlands. I think you need to give him away. So, because I feel so sorry for you, I would like to help. Send him as soon as possible to me!!!!!

Yes, do! It really is amazing here, I feel very lucky to live where I do.

Hehe, okay, I will send him along on the next flight!

Here is another video (I seem to be on a video kick these days!). Yarrow and Jasper playing down by the river the other day. Yarrow was getting the zoomies! He is now officially as big as Jasper - they are the same height, and Yarrow weighs 2 lbs more. When I weighed/measured a few days ago Yarrow was 57lbs and 24 inches tall. He just turned 19 weeks.

Great video! I love it when they get wet-hyperactive; it's hilarious to watch. He's really developing nicely

Post by **Nino** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:57 pm

Great vid

As always both of them looks great!

Kootenaywolf · Post by **Kootenaywolf** » Thu Jul 05, 2012 11:12 pm

Finally the rain stopped and we had some nice weather for picture taking! Yesterday we went on a hike and then camped out at a beach. It was lovely! Yarrow will be 20 weeks tomorrow.

Big feet!

The white spot on his chest is heart shaped!

Post by **Nino** » Thu Jul 05, 2012 11:24 pm

his Paws are so big!

Post by **TerriHolt** » Thu Jul 05, 2012 11:36 pm

Love the silhouette picture

He is growing nicely... Any better with people/strangers?

HiTenshi16 · Post by **HiTenshi16** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 1:13 am

I also love the sihlouette photo, he still looks like a great cuddle buddy

He is still extremely shy with strangers. He is great with the people he has accepted into his pack! From what I have gathered, his other 6 siblings are all not shy at all - so, luck of the draw I guess

It's a work in progress...some days it seems like there is great improvement, other days it feels like none has been made at all! But I know it is slowly getting better.

Kootenaywolf · Post by **Kootenaywolf** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 6:37 pm

Beach days galore! Yarrow really likes the water, though he has yet to actually go swimming.

Yarrow turned 20 weeks old yesterday. He is 55lbs and just under 25 inches tall.

HiTenshi16 · Post by **HiTenshi16** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 7:14 pm

Can't blame him for living the water

I swear he somehow gets more and more handsome.

Kootenaywolf · Post by **Kootenaywolf** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:23 pm

We went on our first alpine hike yesterday, and Yarrow had a blast! There was still quite a bit of snow up there and he loves snow. He did really well, and I feel like he has had a kind of breakthrough with his shyness in he past week or so (YAY!!!). We'll see, but I feel like we are finally making progress

Here are some photos from the hike....

Always getting told off by everyone!

He was on leash for a while because there was a wicked cliff nearby, and I don't quite trust him yet to make good decisions!

Rahne · Post by **Rahne** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:29 pm

I soooo want to live there! Yarrow is a beauty

Post by **TerriHolt** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 12:55 am

Me too

He does look better with every pic you post... Yay for his (kind of) breakthrough... Hope it continues for you...

HiTenshi16 · Post by **HiTenshi16** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 1:02 am

He looks wonderful in the snow <3

how is his recall Brynne?

Tiantai · Post by **Tiantai** » Thu Jul 12, 2012 1:41 am

He actually smiles like an Old German Shepherd in some photos

Nino wrote:how is his recall Brynne?

It's quite good. He sticks around very close when we're out offleash and checks in regularly, and he recalls well most of the time - it's not 100% if there is something really interesting going on, but he is young yet and we're still working on it. I have him on leash around traffic or in crowded areas where he is nervous, but otherwise he is pretty much offleash all the time.

And, I'm so happy because his shyness really seems to be improving. We went on a walk with a lady he didn't know today and at one point we were sitting down and he came and lay in between us, rolled over on his back, and let her cuddle and pet him....! This is HUGE improvement from where he was even just a few weeks ago.

This is great to hear

Here are some Yarrow photos from the last few days, just taken in the yard. He turned 5 months on he 17th, and last time I weighted/measured him (about a week ago) he was 59 lbs and 25'' tall.

c

As big as he is getting, he sill looked pretty small next to the Saint Bernard that I just took care of for a week. Yarrow loved this guy! It seems like the bigger the dog, he more he loves it.

Tiantai · Post by **Tiantai** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 4:31 pm

Funny, I was in a conversation with Ann some time ago and asked for how much of Apollo is in Yarrow due to them being opposite coloured and looking extremely different from the pictures I've seen of him.

So this was the result:

Titles/Awards/Tests of Apollo, Grandfather of Cola's and Fresca's litter:
AKC CGC, CERF Passed, OFA Hips Good, OFA Elbows/Patellas/Heart Passed, TDI, Delta Therapy Dog, APDT Rally Level I Magna Cum Laude, APDT Rally Level II Magna Cum Laude, NADAC NJ, NADAC NAC, NADAC ONAC, AHBA HCT, AHBA JH, AHBA HTDI/sheep, AHBA HTDI/goats, ASCA Started Goats.

Side note: Apollo has either placed first or second in his class in every NADAC competition he has ever entered.

Took me a while to decipher it all.

Here's a photo of Apollo that I was shown, courtesy to Ann D.

I forget how young he still is, is it possible for him to not look more handsome each time I see new photos of him

Which one? Apollo or Yarrow? Either way they're both pretty young indeed

More puppy pictures!

This is is crazy trying-to-catch-horseflies look (he is very scared of horseflies

)

My wienerwolf!

Puppy kisses!

I love the ruff he is getting around his neck!

HiTenshi16 · Post by **HiTenshi16** » Fri Jul 20, 2012 6:55 pm

The look on his face with the fly is so funny

I like the ruff around his neck too!

Post by **TerriHolt** » Fri Jul 20, 2012 9:33 pm

Defiantly like the fly look

Yup yup, i so will be having one in the future... But a black one... not white like i originally wanted...

Hah, did Yarrow sway to you the dark side

?

Are you thinking next year, or a couple years down the road?

Yes, yes he did

Not sure what it is but black is now my colour of choice... Maybe a more wolf-y look than white

?

Maybe in a few years... It would be sooner but i suck at saving

I'm seriously considering getting an ANCD in a few years. Hopefully things work out financially for me!

Yarrow is looking wolfier every day, I so wish yarrow's cousin arrow could come live with me.

Kootenaywolf · Post by **Kootenaywolf** » Sat Jul 28, 2012 4:27 pm

Some new pictures of Yarrow. We went on another awesome hike the other day. I didn't get as many photos of Yarrow up there as I would have liked, but here are a few of the ones I got. As of yesterday Yarrow is 64lbs and just a hair under 26 inches tall.

Resting at the top. He always finds himself a den somewhere to curl up in!

And here are some from in the yard the other day
