Wingler's White Oak Holiday
(Holly)
Shaded Sable & White
DOB - November 21, 2008
Breeder: Rebecca Wingler
Owner: Rebecca Wingler

We weren't supposed to keep a puppy, but ... there was something
about her that we just couldn't refuse. Maybe it was because we
have seen her half brother DJ as a grownup and just loved his dark
red, shaded sable looks. Holly will be similar in color to DJ. At
four months in age, Holly has already won over all of our hearts,
and most everyone she meets. She is currently working on Bela &
Dillon and is gradually earning her acceptance among all the dogs.
Granny Bec has spent quite a bit of time with her teaching her the
fine art of play fighting.

Holly is named in honor of my grandmother, Blonza Holleman Smith.
It only seems fitting especially since she and my grandfather
introduced the English Shepherd breed to the family back in 1949.
Brian is taking Holly to puppy classes, while I take her to herding
classes. She is extremely bright/smart and seems to have her
daddy's temperament, along with some of his markings. She is
doing well during the herding classes. I am looking forward to
watching this little girl grow up!

9 months - Holly continues to impress me as she grows older. It's
funny how you can see certain aspects of her personality
reflecting both her mother & her father. Granny Bec is still her
number one playmate. Brian continues taking her to beginning
agility classes (flat work). I have begun taking her with Dillon to
our private class and started sequencing work with her. Jumps are
set at 8" so there is not an issue of injuring her. She amazed me
the other week as she & I went through a UKC AGI course. She
was super fast, did all 13 obstacles correctly, watched me & had a
blast! That same week, she started to come into her own at herding
class. Up until then, she sort of hung back & really wouldn't
approach the sheep on her own. All of a sudden at that class, she
led out, moved the sheep, started doing some small outruns &
gathered the sheep to us. This was pretty cool stuff to watch!

10 & 11 months - Holly surprised me in her interactions with
Hunter. I was quite relieved to see her tone her actions down when
we finally exposed her to Hunter for the first time. From that
time forward, she played with Hunter every day. Shortly after
Hunter went to his new home, Holly, Bec, Brian and I went to
Topsail Island for several days. Once she became accustomed to
the sounds of the waves breaking on the shore, she had a great time
walking on the beach with us.

February 2010 - Holly continues to mature both physically &
mentally. Her herding is improving - still a quiet worker, plus she
is now attending some agility classes with me on a regular basis,
along with Brian's classes with her. One of the nicest things about
Holly's ES behavior is that she is into keeping and enforcing rules
around here. This is a trait I have seen with her father, but no one
dog, until Holly, has ever made Kira behave. Holly has managed to
help keep things in check that area. Got to love that dog! ;-)

June 2010 - Holly and I made the trip to IL for a breeding to
Amy Dorsch's Rudy. I wasn't sure how she would do with the all
day aspect of riding, but came through it all like a trooper! One
thing I do appreciate about Holly is that I normally don't have to
tell her too many times to leave something alone. I was concerned
about her barking in the hotel room. After we checked in, she
would normally bark at either another dog passing by in the
hallway or people if they were noisy. I would remind her that it
wasn't her problem and for her to leave it. That one reminder was
usually enough for the stay.
