The Wild Bunch
Today I tried to take a walk alone with Tilde. Being just the two of us would allow for a longer walk and, with all the time which goes into puppy Zerline, she would appreciate some alone quality time with me.

Hovawart TV: Zerline The Surfer
It was an impressive sight for Zerline. The first time we went to the beach she dared to go up all the way to the shoreline to have a closer look at all that boiling water and listen to the waves roar.

Hovawart TV: Digging A Team
When you dig as a team you can get deeper and move more sand when you work together. Trying to own the pit won't give any progress, and practicing dry breaststroke swims in it won't either. To dig, in itself, is the goal. Tilde seems to get that. But can she teach puppy Zerline to dig in the same direction?

Visiting The Puppies

| Zerline "uit de Groetpolder" |
After one and a half year of searching, waiting, and hoping, the day was finally there. I was about to lay my eyes on our new aspiring family member for the first time. Tilde's upcoming little sister.

Having Fun Is Not Optional
Last Saturday, Emil was our guest. It was a lot to take in for him, being away from his "mom" and caretaker, Dina, for a whole day.

Hovawart TV: Hurry Up!
When you are a Hovawart - or any dog for that matter - you know what is most important.
One of your family members getting further and further away, even if she is occupied in her search for amber, is definitely a no-go.
But how do you make that douche-bag in the rear to get it? Hurry up for pete's sake!

Hovawart TV: A Farewell To Winter
With Winter officially ending, so does our Winter adventure on the West-coast.
It is isolated on the West-coast this time of year. Shops and restaurants close. Tourists leave. Roads even close. Most locals close off their cottages too, as they are not build to withstand the cold of Winter when the relentless forces of nature reveal themselves and storms and freezing rain-showers batter the West-coast to change it into a barren wasteland.
In other words, perfect for a man and his dog.

Hovawart TV: When Friends Meet Again
They hadn't seen each other in a while, Tilde and Emil. The joy of their reunion was contagious.

Hovawart TV: Pinch Me, Is This Tilde?
If you read this blog long enough, you know Tilde is a guarantee for mischief, exuberant behavior and in general, being the opposite of a well-behaved dog.
Impulse control isn't something you would expect to be a part of her skill-set.
Here is some proof of the opposite.

Tilde's Paradise Shelter Days Caught On Camera
I mentioned it before. The shelter did an excellent job socializing Tilde. My little princess herself is living proof of that.
And now I have got my hands on some video clips to give a small peak into Tilde's shelter life, and what they did to socialize her!
Have a look, and see if you can find Tilde The Puppy between all the dogs:

Hovawart TV: Need For Speed
The scenery of the Swiss Alps might be distracting as they flash by.
If your dog had a bucket list, would this be on it?

Hovawart TV: Grey Muzzle
There is something beautiful about a grey muzzle...
Like wrinkles, it should merely indicate where the smiles have been. - (a slightly altered quote from Mark Twain).

Hovawart TV: Scuba-Wart
Probably the most busy Hovawart among us, Kim, takes some time off from housekeeping and rescuing, and goes scuba diving:
Tea Vardjan's video collection featuring Kim is some of the best Hovawart TV out there, and there is a lot more on her youtube channel. Ski-ing, diving, searching, you name it. Check it out, you'll love it.
