I am super proud of Mazikeen for making the Top 10 again (for the 3rd year in a row), despite a limited showing for this past year! We couldn’t go to Orlando, but she is a very wonderful, and giving partner, and I wouldn’t trade her for anything!
I didn’t have anyone entered for these shows, as I was there saving money for nationals in a few weeks. I did however pick Tommy up, as he will be joining us this year for herding training, and to show and hopefully finish his Championship in 2026! We also did a lot of obedience work … More Morris and Essex/Hatboro/Montgomery

Mazikeen, Chunky, Sue, and Rory worked cattle, and Fiddle and Mazikeen worked sheep. I am very proud of what my dogs are offering me! Gotta keep working hard … More Herding in Berryville, VA

I didn’t take any static pictures from this trip to Berryville, for some reason. However, I did take many videos which I posted to facebook and instagram. This video is a compliation of everything that we worked on. Driving, not pattern training, and being secure on stock. Sue is developing some, and Rory is now … More Herding in Berryville, VA
I am so excited to get the invitation to go to the Obedience classic. We are not going to be able to make it, as I have to work the Oaks and Allentown, PA shows, but she worked really hard last year to get everything done for me, and I look forward to continuing our … More Mazikeen Gets an Invite to the Obedience Invitational
It is always one of my favorite experiences to travel down to Auntie Terri’s House. She has helped me grow as a handler SO MUCH, learning to be comfortable and confident, as well as getting my dogs comfortable and poised while driving long distances and doing farm work. Fiddle and Mazikeen drive ok, but once … More Herding at Isle of Calais
