Today let's say hi to Jasper & Nellie from Jasper's Doggy World.
Thanks to Pet Blogs United for this opportunity to be this week's guest blogger. My name is Jasper and I am an Italian Sheepdog, also referred to as a maremma. Maremmas are an ancient breed of dog, used by shepherds in the Italian alps to protect their sheep flocks. I have cousins in other countries: Spain with the Pyrenean mountain dog, or the Hungarian Krusevo dog. Traditionally, the maremma dog sued to protect the sheep from wolves and other predators. The dogs would be turned out with the sheep flocks in the beginning of summer and brought in at the beginning of winter. Therefore, the breed was encouraged to think independently without human intervention.
I was born on the 1st December 2009 in windy Palmerston North, New Zealand. I came to live with my family in sunny Mangamahu valley, near Wanganui in January 2010. My family had moved from Wellington to a rural life-style block. In early 2011 mummy thought it would be cool to enter me in the Tux Wonder Dog of the year competition, so she started my blog in support of my application.
Needless, to say I didn't win. Daddy says that to be a TV star one of the pre-requisites is not to have a desire to bark and bark at the camera crew. Also, my inability to obey instructions might have hindered my application and my chronic car-sickness, might have something to do with it. After all I am a maremma and I have been breed to think independently when protecting my flock. In my case, my mummy is my flock and I must be with her at all times. Soon after I arrived mummy thought it would be good to be to have a friend, so after some time convincing daddy that they really do need another dog, Nellie arrived. Me and Nellie are such good dogs and we love to play with each other.
Mummy sometimes gets annoyed with Me and Nellie because We have to follow her around the garden and be with her at all times.
Here are links to our favourite blogs:
