New Years!

I'm not a big resolution person so I'll just lay out what we're doing right now and where we're going in the short term!

First up, Cole's had the dust kicked off of him and he's hitting the AKC agility rings to play in the Preferred classes.  To say he's excited is an understatement!  We're hoping to get through his OAP and OJP in January and see what he's got left in the tank before deciding to do Excellent, swap to ASCA, or hit the obedience/rally rings and finish up the old man's titles in that.

Next Georgie and Eos have been hard at work playing with the sheep over the winter break.  Capone has also given it a whirl and did really well so he's going to be coming out when I can.  We're hoping to hit some of those types of trials either late spring or possibly wait until the fall when it cools down.  Georgie's goal right now is to try to qualify in MVA at 2017 ASCA Nationals when it's back down here in Bryan so we're getting our start on herding now!  Her litter was moved to the fall to help accommodate this and give me plenty of time.

Third, we're really excited about Roma's first litter this spring!  The handsomely versatile Case (CH RTCH Revelaire State Your Case RTX NA NAJ JS-O RS-N GS-N STDd DNA-VP) should help us get some gorgeous dogs that are awesome performance prospects.  I know I've got my fingers crossed that I get to keep a puppy! If you want to join in on the fun, please contact me or fill out a questionnaire!

For Barn Hunt, the dogs are doing well but I've only shown Eos in it as I'm focusing on growing the sport here locally and that plus helping people train is taking all my time!  Eos has her RATO title now and is working at the Senior level.  I'll probably work Gracie next and I got a "real" barn hunt dog (Jack Russell Terrier Berke) to learn the sport as well!  If you're interested in learning to do barn hunt, check us out on my training page!  It's lots of fun for all dogs!

Striker is still on the road with his handler so hopefully he finishes his Championship asap and I can get my good herding dog back!  Miss my man!

We also got a new "dogmobile" when the Town and Country decided unexpectedly to not like its engine :(  The new car is an adjustment but it's also so fun.  Also, no way to miss us!

I hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday and here's to all the awesome things in 2016!
