Queenies second time on stock. Was a little hot but she showed some promising things!

Had so much fun this morning seeing what these things have got at the Circle Back Ranch

Ratchet impressed me once he figured out moving away from me was ok. Chasing sheep is fun. I kept getting in his way but he stayed pretty well balanced.

Queenie had some big shoes to fill but she proved today she’s as talented as her mother Nia. She covered the head and has a great sense of group.

Perfection

I see wayyyy more trotting drivetrains in the Aussies than sprinting.

For herding, sports and PROPER balanced movement you need the sprinting drivetrain.

As a breeder I promote and breed for the springing drivetrain

Lizzie has been well adjusted to the house lifestyle! Lizzie is beautiful moving, very balanced, converges well. Deep red with a moderate coat.

While a puppy Lizzie was outgoing, confident, and afraid of nothing. With maturity she has become more soft towards other dogs but still gets along with everyone she has been around.

My household is very structured with well set boundaries and Lizzie has adjusted well to them despite increased female hormones, and cats. With that said her new home will have to have very similar boundaries with crate time and supervision around playful kittens. Lizzie has gotten along well with my one cat that isn't fond of dogs and will frequently play with my young kitten, though she is unaware of her size and can be a bit rough. She can be told to tune it down and/or called off easily. She reads cat behavior well and adjusts according to what they want.

Lizzie is biddable, smart, and already has been exposed/started on stock. She will need to go to a specific situation/ handler to continue on this path. I have done basic novice rally maneuvers with her and she picks it up quickly. She can be on the softer side however once she is comfortable she can also be very bold as brass. She would do well showing with someone that is confident and kind. She has found out going out on the town is super fun, and she is doing beautifully. And will continue to be worked with until sold. Lizzie is incredibly sweet and loves people. Has done well with other dogs her size, can be a bit too much for smaller dogs, and has been exposed to children. I will be picky on WHERE she goes. Considerations will be made to an established performance home. She will be best suited in an active pet home, or a performance home!

Can get her up north very easy if the right home arises!

Great things come to those who wait!

Ratchet earned 5 points and 1 major today!

Ratchet showed beautifully for Jasmine in his Open Black class but then I took him in Winners dog. He showed so well he went WD! Jasmine said ok you’re taking him in breed. Let’s not jinx it. So I did and guess what he went Best of Winners under judge Barbara Palmer. Earning his FIRST MAJOR! I may or may not have asked her if she was joking.

Third show we decided not to test fate and I took him in again! I was almost out of breath the judge wanted to see his side gait so many times. And again he went winners dog! No love in breed this time but that’s still more points under judge Debra Mitchell.

Letting him take some time off and grow was probably the best decision I ever made. Maturity slow and true wins the race. Thank you Joshua for taking him in the first show for me! Thank you to Jasmine for always believing in me when I do not, and teaching me everything I know. Thank you HOTASC trial for putting on another wonderful trial. And HUGE thank you to Alyssa for taking a chance on me by blessing me with this wonderful dog in the first place.

Lizzie was recently returned to me and is adjusting beautifully to the house lifestyle. Lizzie is beautiful moving, very balanced, converges well. Deep red with a moderate coat.

While a puppy Lizzie was outgoing, confident, and afraid of nothing. With maturity she has become more soft towards other dogs but still gets along with everyone she has been around.

My household is very structured with well set boundaries and Lizzie has adjusted well to them despite increased female hormones, and cats. With that said her new home will have to have very similar boundaries with crate time and supervision around playful kittens. Lizzie has gotten along well with my one cat that isn't fond of dogs and will frequently play with my young kitten, though she is unaware of her size and can be a bit rough. She can be told to tune it down and/or called off easily. She reads cat behavior well and adjusts according to what they want.

Lizzie is biddable, smart, and already a started stock dog. She will be taken out to cutn loose Stockdogs to see just how much she knows. I have done basic novice rally maneuvers with her and she picks it up quickly. As mentioned before she is on the softer side. She would do well showing with someone that is confident and kind. While she has been poorly socialized I have started taking her out on the town and working with her on all the scary things and with some reassurance she is doing beautifully. And will continue to be worked with until sold. I will be picky on WHERE she goes. Considerations will be made to an established show home. I’d love to see how far she could go on stock.
