Oh, hey… it is November, and here I am writing a post that I should have written in August! I was doing really well there for awhile, and then I “Fell Off the Wagon”, or so they say… July was a wonderful month. July 4-6th: West Friendship Conformation Shows July 7-8th: Jan Wesen Clinic in … More July in Review
We came back to Flying Bucket after Nita Nee, so we could continue progesterone tests on Mazikeen. We did a lot of small pen work (Mazikeen here) under pressure, as well as working on driving fundamentals, holding pressure, and moving through things with the entire gang. Fiddle and Mazikeen also worked on some advanced arena … More More Work at Flying Bucket
I brought out Baby Sue and Chunky to work at the Jan Wesen clinic at Cherry Hill in New York. We did some really neat things. Sue is still struggling a bit with off balance work and it took him some time to relax over the course of a few days. This was a very … More Jan Wesen Clinic – New York
After we finished the ASCA trial in Maine, it was time to get back to work on foundations and fundamentals with all of the dogs! Sue did some good work on small pen sheep. We did the packed pen with all of the dogs I had with me, and worked on the preliminary steps on … More Working at Flying Bucket Farm
So… this trial, I learned something about Chunky… Despite working geese, runner ducks, pekins, and swedish blues… Call ducks were a total mystery. Like, she could get behind them and move them… but she didn’t hold pressure behind them, and wanted to keep stopping their movement. It was so very weird. So, there was an … More ASCA Trial – Chunky

I finally got to go to my friend Kathy’s house for a clinic with my favorite clinician! We worked some cows that are not super used to dogs working them, so we had to put a different type of pressure on them to hold them. I worked Mazikeen, Rory, and Chunky through two spots the … More Dave Viklund in Tazwell, TN!!!!!
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
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!
