The very first litter of Winter Crag babies way back in 2017. Funny to think how much has changed since then. Finn ( no longer with us) was the sire and Tally was the mother ( Now happily retired locally) . I would love another Tally but not found one just yet!

Starting to learn how to shed. I've waited until she is far on in her training to start to teach her a shed, she's unsure how to handle the situation and I probably should have helped her sooner but I'm happy how she follows instruction. She forgets some of her shapes and speeds but we kept everything calm and relaxed so she didn't get worried about what I was asking. So willing to please, I enjoy training her 😁.

Nala helped me get some lambs in to foot bath the other day, It wasn't perfect but she did everything to help fix the small issues she made due to inexperience. She's a lovely bitch to work with.
