Ginger and The Sheep

Here is a link to a video of Ginger at 5 months old on sheep and If I do say so myself she is pretty damn cute. Joyce said she was a bold little girl and she is just way too cute, oh I already said that. :) She spent maybe 10 minutes out there. There are two video links, enjoy.

I got it.

We went herding again Saturday in Irvine, KY beautiful little farm. I've tried this a few times before, I'm sure I can count them on one hand, but I got it this time. This herding stuff is tough. Joyce took Amelia in at first and she did OK. Then I took the helm, Amelia was much more settle with me there was balance we actually moved the sheep slowly in a somewhat straight line, not lots of circles changed directions, really quite smooth and it was really FUN. :).
Ginger went in with Joyce and when I get the video I will post she was too much fun.
Joyce was very impressed and called her a bold little girl, she was a total blast to watch. There was a local newspaper reporter there doing a segment on Randy and his dogs but they also took some pictures of Amelia and Ginger and some info so hopefully we will see them in the news.
I sure hope I win the lottery so I can continue this herding because it's fun not quite as fun as agility but I think I have the bug.

The Girl Did Good

Well we had fun herding on Saturday in Evansville, IN with Joyce Burnham. The weather was very cooperative since we have had 6" of rain and are expecting another 5".
This was the first time Amelia had been on sheep and she did GOOD!
Yes the bad dog did good. I met a gal from Albuquerque out in the middle of Evansville,
she lives in Madison, KY with her cattle dog, her name was Emily and I hope to see them again.
Cathy with Jack (BC) and Georgette with Wicked (Sheltie) were my companions and I have to admit that the border collie did the best of the three for the first time out. We have some video and as soon as the girls Georgette and Cathy can get me the clip I will post it.
So recap we had FUN!

Herding

Well we are going herding with the bad dog tomorrow, that would be Amelia. I'll let you know how that adventure goes.

LAZY SUNDAY Picture Day, Highlight on Ginger

Look at this baby move

Here is a picture of Ginger in the back yard after she helped me rake and after she tracked and after getting lost taking our walk in Bernheim Forest. I had an idea where we were but I must have missed our turn and a 30 minute walk turned into an hour and a 1/2. Like a dummie I didn't even bring my phone or water, do I win dunce for the day? Oh well all I can say is look at this baby move.

AKC National Agility Championship 2011

Well after 3 clean rounds at this years AKC agility nationals Flirt and I were in 31st place out of 107 8" dogs, all I can say is WOW. This was my first and I have to say I had a grand time, and the caliber of dogs was amazing.
