After Morgantown, we brought the gang down to Doswell, VA for the first cluster. It was indeed a good cluster for the gang! Sadly, our competition couldn’t join us, so Chunky didn’t get any points at all. 😦 But, we are slowly ticking away toward the Grand for her! Thursday JUDGE: Mr. Stephen Dainard Sue: 1/W/BW/BP … More Doswell June Cluster #1
We took a pit stop into Morgantown, WV for a few days. No breed competition, but we had some luck in the groups! Fiddle tried obedience on Sunday, and we were unable to finish our graduate novice title because of an NQ on the recall over the broad jump. But she was so much more … More Morgantown, WV
The first weekend in June, I decided to hang out with my bestie, Anya, at a David Henry clinic. I brought Mazikeen and Rory with me. They were running a colt breaking clinic in the arena, so we used a small indoor facility. This group of sheep didn’t really understand what driving was, so Mazikeen … More David Henry Clinic
So, I had some time available and decided to head down to herd with Auntie Terri. We spent time on the water, building fundamentals of driving with Fiddle, Mazikeen, and Chunky. We worked with Rory on balance, and got Sue on the introductory fundamentals. It was just good to relax, swim, and exist in peace!

On that same trip to Ohio, we did the Pennhip, OFA Hips and elbows, and dentition on Rory too. Her Pennhip is LDI=.41, RDI=.43 She also has full dentition, fair hips, and normal elbows! This leaves only her CAER eye exam to finish her CHIC requirements!
We made a side trip to Ohio on the way to a tracking seminar to complete her requirements for CHIC testing! She has full dentition, a Pennhip Value of LDI=.42, RDI=.38, with fair hips and normal elbows! Everything else is clear and normal.
After we did the herding clinic in Maine, I went back to NY and did a lot of mixed flock work, farm work, and arena cattle work with Fiddle, Mazikeen, and Chunky, with some with little Miss Rory. We also did some foundations and fundamentals with Sue on both sheep and cattle in the small … More Back to Flying Bucket
We did a quick turnaround to go up to Maine for another Jan clinic. This group had been inviting me up for years, and this is the first time that I could take them up on it. The weather was TERRIBLE, like 40 degrees and raining, so we moved to an inside setup in Searsport! … More Jan Wesen – Prospect, Maine
