Viking Lilja |
Viking Lilja is the inspiration for Fox Meadow Croft with her foxy look and coloring. Lilja may be the most affectionate of our dogs. She is the first to jump into a strangers lap and give them a kiss. Most people walk away saying after a visit, "Oh she really is my favorite". She is incredibly intelligent and easily trained. She is one of our fastest and agile dogs. She and a litter sister are the only progeny of Aldebaran Fjari who will be going on to be bred. Fjari has an incredible pedigree and just beautiful, our Hippi really resembles his dad. Although we call her our Diva, not wanting to get her feet muddy or venture out to in the rain to get her hair wet; she completely drops that persona as soon as she sees the sheep. Flying through the fields she can move our flock and pick up stray sheep by herself. Lilja and I have done conformation together when she was a puppy and later as an adult, but it is obvious that she really doesn't like it. Respecting that we do not bother her by dragging her to the dog shows. She is content to go "shopping" with me at Dog Friendly Merchants, cuddling on the couch, going for a good swim in Beaver Creek and playing with the other dogs.
