Libby got around the course both days. On Sunday she had a tough go; she had affected her sheep when she was on her outrun so set out flanked her dog to hold them. In Libby's mind that dog is now in charge and she just lay down; The sheep went almost back to the set out and Libby brought them off the set out. For me that is HUGE. She wouldn't take the Come flank on the fetch and we were off line the whole way; Drive was shakey but she kept them moving and didn't once get stuck. I have to remember that a couple of times I haven't made it around the post. Always more to do and learn...
Little bits at a time
John did great! He finished second in PN both days with an overall first. Loosing to Viki Kidd and Macy on Sun by a point and Bev Lambert and Ester by a point on Sat. I'm very proud of him; it is only his 3rd or 4th trial. He'll be in open in no time...
The food was great, everyone helped out and the weather for July was very cold...good for the sheep and dogs.
New exciting news....Dixie had a single puppy (out of Preacher...John's PN dog) on Sunday morning; It was an accidental breeding but should make a nice working pup; She's
a little b/w bitch. We didn't think she took as I looked at he last week and she wasn't fat at all (of course with one she didn't get very big. I made her go out of her crate on Sunday morning and than we heard this awful screaming...well it was puppy screaming...and Dixie had delivered a puppy in her crate...im sorry for making you go outside and being mad when you were reluctantMore exciting news: We'll be hosting a fall trial the week before Butternut. Bobby Dalziel will be judging and doing some lessons on the Tuesday after our trial
Trying to be better at blogging...i'll let you know...nevermind..you be the judge
