Okay, after much neglect of this blog, I am going to try to be consistent at posting. We've been looking for almost a year for a new place to live where I can train dogs and we can raise Border Collies and sheep. I've also been hoping for a place large enough to host trials, at least smaller ones. We think we've found the spot and we're in escrow now. Now we just have to wait for everything to be processed.

In the meantime we have bred our Bird to Suzy Applegate's 2008 USBCHA Nursery Champion, Buzz. Buzz is a mostly black, smooth coated, prick-eared herding machine. Bird has a prick ear...and the other ear is not interested in standing up. She is a strong dog and I am still working with her with optimism and the help of my friends. Lack of keenness is not her problem! She loves to drive and we're working on her driving where I want to go.
