Cimarron Cinders

bred by
Danielle Rodebaugh
I
hope this finds you well and
settling in with your new puppy
as I am with mine. My husband
and I have figured out it has
been 32 years since we have had
a puppy in the house. I am now
housebroke and wake up twice
during the night to go outside.
Our other dogs have taken to
Cindy quite well. The
older terrier was at first quite
put out with the new intruder
into her private domain,
But now has accepted her
completely and they even sleep
together at times in the old
dog's bed. Our older ES
loved the puppy from the start
and looked on her as finally
someone to play with.
Cindy has really fit in quite
well. She is
confident with all our livestock
except the geese. But geese can
be intimidating to even big
animals. She hasn't shown any
interest in chasing or barking
at the livestock, but she is so
young I don't want to encourage
her to fail or be mauled by
someone. Everything will
come in time. Right now we are
just working on obedience and
not eating my shoes. I
hope your puppy is the joy this
one is. I'll keep you updated on
our progress.

Cindy is learning basic
discipline and coming along very
nicely. She is all puppy yet
and still enjoys being very
silly at times. Her desire and
interest in livestock is very
strong and she is becoming more
confident with the larger
livestock. I have a hard time(
on occasion ) curbing her desire
to just chase the sheep. It's
difficult at this age to get her
to just "watch them" and" back
off", but this will come with
age. If there are some tricks or
pointers I would appreciate the
help When lambing starts she
will begin her real education in
dealing with aggressive,
protective mama ewes. She is an
outside dog now. One of my sons
built her a beautiful doghouse.
Its fully insulated, sided in
steel and big enough for her and
all her cat buddies. She still
comes in for treats and special
attention but really rather
prefers the outside. She is
very smart about the road but
yet still does a farm perimeter
check with the older shepherd
every morning. I will try to be
better about keeping you
updated. How are things with
your puppy and your life? I also
have not filled out her papers
and sent them in. I have some
questions, but will wait until
after the holidays to contact
you. We get out of school Fri.
for vacation and I'm really
looking forward to the break.
Our schedule has been so busy,
we are short drivers and the
rest of us have had to pick up
the slack, which means a couple
of athletic trips each week
along with the regular route. I
hope you have a very joyous
holiday season and are able to
be with family.
Take
care, Clarene

But first details of
Cindy....she's grown into a small framed dog and
really not much of a coat also. She's a beautiful
dog with a very understanding _expression on her
face. She is really just coming into her own
personality right now. She is more aggressive than
I ever thought she would be and definitely thinks
she rules the farm. She still bows to the old house
terrier but is dominate over the other old shepherd
and the rest of the animals. She will put livestock
back in, if someone gets out, or puts it back up
against the fence and holds it in the area. This is
for a short time( she loses interest) and then she
repens it when she discovers it out again. We went
through a chasing stage but are mostly over this.
There are times though that it is just too much fun
to chase the sheep. She also likes to harass the
goats( they don't chase) but she is getting past
this puppiness. She is also getting area
protective, she greets strangers with a head down
stance and looks like she means business barking
very ferociously. I am quite pleased with this as
we wanted a protective dog. I'll try to get a
picture to you soon. I believe that she came into
heat the first week of April. I will watch her
closely real soon for signs again although how do
you tell without a close exam on these black dogs?
During April she had a real personality change and
appeared to be a little swollen.
