Belle on sheep

Here are a few pictures of Belle working sheep.

Stan and Ollie - 36 Hours Old!!!

BJ and I ran in our first CPE (Canine Performance Event) agility trial in December. We ran in two classes and came home with one first place and one second place and qualified on both runs. YAH!! for BJ. He was fantastic!!!

Winter Foliage

This is what our fence looks like during the winter months. Its "on fire" with the Flame Vine blooming.

Belle working her sheep in the big field

It looks like a mess, but Belle is trying to bring the sheep to me. They just weren't cooperating. They are young lambs, just about 4 months old. Not very "people broke", let alone "dog broke". Belle tried very hard to do her job. NOTE: you might want to turn down your speakers. BJ was trying to give Belle directions from the side lines. :)

BJ's turn at sheep work--woking in the round pen

I told you this was going to be a BAAAAD day!

Here comes that Border Collie. . .

Continuing sheep work

Belle learns to fly . . .

Belle thinks she is supposed to FLY after her sheep. . .

Here are some various pictures of Belle and I learning to work the sheep. It's not as easy as it looks. Thank God for patient trainers!!!

Puppers and lambs

Here are some fun pictures of the Dice working the sheep and the new lambs.

Belle's Daddy and one of her sisters

Belle got to see her Daddy and one of her sisters. She had fun playing with her sister, but wasn't too sure about her Daddy. Her Daddy is Slate and Her sister is Dice.




This is one of Belle's sister's, Dice.



These are some of Belle's new friends. She learned a lot from them. Especially how to be a GOOD Girl. :)



This is Belle's Daddy, Slate.

More herding. . .

This was Belle working in the round pen. It sure was different from her first time on sheep. She actually started to work them and showed a lot of instinct. She wanted those sheep all in a row.

Goooood Girl!!!!
