The Whiff And Sniff

Remy and Vega get to know one another.

Evan knows what makes a solid working GSD. And he's sure Vega and Remy are the perfect match. So, the decision to breed them was discussed and decided by two dog owners. The dogs, of course, were not consulted.  

Even though this was an arranged marriage, we encouraged a courting process of sorts. Or to be more precise, a getting-to-know-you process. Or to be even more precise, a running-around-the-field, chasing-each-other process. What I call the "whiff and sniff."

It started the day after Vega went into season and continued until the "big day." During the second week, the dogs were confined to the backyard deck--where still nothing of consequence  happened. Just more running, chasing, whiffing and sniffing, only in a much smaller space. 

It would be a bit longer before Vega and Remy were ready to take their relationship to the next level. 

The video below is rated "G." It contains nothing graphic, only two dogs running, chasing and doing a good bit of whiffing and sniffing - mostly not of each other.
