Our herding world has suffered a great loss. Lynn Leach passed away. She was such a driving force in our sport and especially in the All Breed world. Her kindness, support and encouragement has helped so many people fall in love with sheepdogs and to build an amazing community here in Canada but also in many other parts of the world. So, be like Lynn. Help the newbies, encourage your fellow competitor, volunteer to help your hosts, share the kind words and keep building an amazing community. All of these things will help us remember the amazing woman we have lost

First one of the season(or I suppose he could technically be the last of this season….)! An unexpected surprise. His friends won’t be arriving until the end of February so I will have to spoil him extra until then. Calling him Brandon. Prepare yourselves for the ridiculously cute lamb spam to come
