Happy second birthday to my nine beans, from BR Millie x CF Cruise!🍾🎊

I’ve had the privilege to work firsthand with four of them and they’re a very consistent group of dogs. They definitely all share their mother’s exuberance, work eithic and friendly demeanors.

Congratulations to all their owners for the hard work you’ve put into them, from dock to barn hunt, agility to obedience, fastcat to trick dog and disc and multiple venues of herding.. it’s been fun watching you all grow as teams. The ribbons and titles are all good and fun, but thank you all for loving them and sharing your life’s with them. ♥️

My other female keeper from the NBC litter is AF WeWillRockU aka Queen 👑

This girl is all her mama, she is spicy, independent and puts 110% into whatever she’s doing, and as the smallest girl in the litter, I’d expect nothing less. She had some interest in sheep at 7 weeks and is toy crazy.. I have a feeling she’ll be giving me a run for my money but I’ll be counting my blessings every step of the way 🌟

Officially introducing AF MadeFrLovinU aka Kiss💋
Kiss is one of my two personal keepers from Rip x Roux’s Nightmare before Christmas litter. She reminds me so much of her Aunt Sis, she’s such a chill puppy. She was the first one turned onto sheep at 6 weeks and I’m super excited to see how she ends up.

Hug your dog, because you never know when it’ll be the last time.

Roux unfortunately slipped her adventurous little self out of the fence Sunday night and was struck by a vehicle. She did not come home❤️‍🩹 I’m grateful for the time we had together and all the lessons she taught me, and I’m blessed to have her daughters with me. She was loved, and know I’m not the only one heart broken over this..

That’ll do Roux, say hi to Sissy for me.

Happy 1st birthday to GW Naknek and his litter mates!

Nick is one of the most talented dogs I’ve ever trained. I absolutely love his style and I would love to train a dozen more just like him someday💙

Caefelin Clem♥️

It’s still hard to believe he’s actually here. He’s such a fun dog and I think we finally figured each other out and clicked.

Exactly one month until Hazels OFA appointment!

Hopefully all will come back good and we can continue to make plans. The more I work the two of them the more I like the idea of this pairing, they’re similar enough I don’t think I’ll get to much variation but I also believe they complement each others weaknesses perfectly, both on and off the field. I need to work on getting *quality videos of Hazel this month, she’s coming along quickly now that I’m working her consistently. Timing of Hazel x Taff will depend mainly on when she comes into heat, stay tuned

Introducing Apex Pendragon, aka “Howl.”

Howl will by my male co-own from my Rip x Roux litter. We kinda picked him the second he was born so I’m happy everyone passed all their health testing so far so we didn’t have to pick a different boy🤣 Howl is a very “middle of the pack puppy” and has plenty of food and toy drive. He was also already interested in sheep at 6 weeks. Thanks for being my co-owner! I can’t wait to watch you and Howl grow as a team.
