I missed these! Wonderful pics, I'm very proud of Kaedyn too. He sounds a bit how Tasha was around people at first. Imagine how shocked I was when at 7 months old, we were walking by some people and one lady reached out to touch Tash and she lunged at her with a snarl! She growled at people a few more times after that, but seems totally over that now. I don't know why it started, I socialized her vigorously, but she has just never liked strangers. I took her to puppy classes and she was timid and nervous until she got used to the people after a few sessions, then she was fine. She often warms up to other women with no problem but is extremely suspicious of men she doesn't know. Anyway, to this day I still worry a bit when I'm around a lot of people that someone will suddenly reach down to touch her and she will lunge like that.

I'm in awe that Kai liked to swim too. My collies would wade a bit but never swim. They hated for water to get past their elbows. He's such a sweetie. He has a bit more of a collie look to him IMO.
