Time's Flying

Today Kort is 9 months old! The 1 year mark is fast approaching, hard to believe!
Going back, .....this was one of the first pictures Dave sent me of all the boys, this is Kort at 2 weeks of age, of course I didn't know it was Kort......doesn't he look like he's giving us the evil eye!!!......
When the puppies were 3 weeks old, Brad & I drove down to see the litter, this is me holding Kort at the age of 3 weeks. I still did not know this would be my puppy at the time, he was the biggest male in the litter & his name was Tank!!......
This is the picture Dave sent me when he had decided which puppy would be mine!!......
This is Kort at 8 weeks the day I picked him up......
Now, he is 9 months & the fun is just beginning!!

Greetings from Norway! How wondeful your Kort is! I happened to stumble upon your blog and I realised he was a Davenloch - is he by Ch Sylvan Argent Foreign Affair? If so, he shares a bit of Twin Acres blood with my dog, Mikkel, who is Danish but is 75% American - the remaining 25% Swedish. Truly international, in other words! I hope to import a dog from the US or Canada in the future. Looking forward to following Kort's progress!

Take care!
Linda

You can find his pedigree here:

Go to their dogs, click on his littermate Be Exclusive's Sound of Silence.

He is an awesome little guy - very forward and outgoing. Lighter in type than most Americans, but still he looks quite different from most European collies.

Sadly, he was diagnosed with Coloboma as an adult (puppy check only found CRC), so he is just a pet, though I do show him and train him in obedience and tracking.

I keep an eye on what's happening in the US and Canada as I adore your collies. I frequently drop by Davenloch's website, which is why I was so happy to discover Kort!
