Icelandic Sheepdogs LOVE to bark!
Annie and Nova's Herding Instinct Tests: on
11/19/14, the ISAA sponsored a Herding Trial in
conjunction with our National Specialty. Both
Annie and Novice entered the AM and PM herding
instinct tests. In order to earn the Herding
Instinct certificate, the dog must qualify in two
tests, under two different judges. Both Annie
and Nova earned their certificates on 11/19.
Nova turned on to the sheep faster than Annie --
maybe she is a little bolder, or maybe Annie's
obedience training made her keep watching me for
instructions more, or both. They are both
awesome little dogs!

See video of our October 2012 visit to Fríða on her page.
Anna (our niece from Texas) and her dog Brody came
to visit. Brody has the nicest temperament you
ever saw, and he is wonderful with the explosive
Icies. And they are teaching him to run and
bark at everything.
Visit, May 2012, to
see Thorvald. We took Annie and mommy
Truffle. Annie and Thorvald are eight months
old here. Thorvi is bigger, but sometimes it's
hard to tell who you are looking at. Thorvi
has the orange collar and Annie has a blue
one. Annie has a little bit darker
muzzle. We had a wonderful time.
