Rides with the Wind

A GoRUFFLY Pilgrimage is over and, although the loss of our German Shepherd Moxie is fresh in our hearts, we welcome puppy Whimsy to the GoRUFFLY pack – the adventure has only just begun!

Her name is Whimsy and she is a White Swiss Shepherd, which is a relatively new and unknown breed that was derived from white German Shepherds. We ride from Los Angeles to Willits, CA where we spend a month in a yurt on 40-acres.

We perform obedience training on our new puppy and train her to ride on a motorcycle in her K9 Moto Cockpit. Then we relaunch the around-the-world journey but Jess quickly and suddenly find herself under attack!
