Gehl's Red Bank Whistlin' Dixie

---

Dixie awoke one morning to find her littermates had gone and she was all alone. I could hear her howling and crying. After an hour or so, I realized she had quieted down. I figured she went to sleep. I went out to find her and Gloria the bucket calf nestled down in the morning dew, snuggled together. She had climbed out the window and found a new friend. By the time I got the camera, Gloria was having her ears cleaned.

I enjoyed my morning alone with Dixie. She was tugging at my heart strings. She dive-bombed the cats only to be called off with a simple "aanck". She looked to me for guidance even in her prey-driven frenzy. She is a high drive dog with loads of biddability.

Dixie is now living with our friends, Andy and Glenda Gehl. They have a family dairy near us and have three kids 8,5, and 1. Dixie is showing off her farmdog ability early. She is helping to get the cows in for milking and has helped get a stubborn cow in the stall.
