Chimera Kennels

She is well proportioned, has great movement, great speed, great agility and stamina. I am guessing between now and 2 years old she will put on more mass, just hope it won't affect her fantastic physical abilities. Many have known me for a while on this board and have heard me comment on the type of dog I will want to have on my side during my adventures in the mountains. Well, she meets the physical requirements so far...:) mentally, she is still very much a puppy, and a late bloomer at that. Here are a few pics of her taken on her 1 year b-day.

Great pictures NIco, thanks for sharing, she sure looks great at one.  Just curious, what are you exactly wanting her to show you mentally, or do for you, once she develops?  Anyways, I am glad she is working out well for you.

Thanks for the comments. Regarding your question, well as you know I need my dog to be on my side at all times while hiking in remote mountains. Mentally, I would want her to have the instinct to protect me, but I would not want her to necessarly attack every wild animal she sees as a threat.. I would like her to keep them at bay and chase them away, or tree them. She is very alert when we are in the wilderness, and I already use her alertness as a warning for danger. When she is fully developed, I would like her to keep me safe and keep herself safe by baying instead of catching/fighhting. Of course, I would also need her to engage if there is no other alternative. So, I guess what I am trying to say, is that I would want her to use her brain more than her prey drive...lol.

great physique

She is looking great Nico.
