4 years ago I stepped to the post for my second Novice Novice trial at Possum Hollar in Virginia. That seems like a lifetime ago!

It's amazing the places dogs can take you and the people you meet along the way 💕

8 yr old Goose is available for Adoption through Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue! He's well started and would make a great teaching buddy for a Novice.

This past weekend we went to the lovely Montpelier Fall Fiber Festival in Orange, VA for our first trial of the 2026 season!

This trial has the best atmosphere with all of the spectators and relaxed trial environment. I enjoyed sharing the sport with strangers and even got some free ice cream out of it 🤣

We were running on 6-7 month old lambs. Saturday was a learning experience for everyone. The video below was Wren's winning Ranch run. Yup, that mess of a run won the class haha, just to give you an idea how tricky it was.

The boys were amazing in Open. They both read their sheep beautifully. Coal got compliments from the set out crew for his nice lift, and Tripp got loads of compliments for his outwork where I barely had to correct him at all through the fetch. Both boys placed and got our first points for the 2026 season.

By Sunday my handling left down everyone so we didn't have any runs to write home about but I'm more than happy with our first trial of the season.

Arena trial next weekend and then off to MO!

Ty will be 1 yr old on Thursday.
💡Moment today!

He doesn't quite cover on either side before flipping back to try to cover the other side, but it's worse CB. We've made slow progress but by the end of today I think he felt it. We'll keep chipping away!

It's that time of year! I've got a couple of spots left for winter board and train.

Whether you have a puppy (8m+) to start or a dog that needs some consistent tuning let me know. Travel slows down between November- February so it's the best time for consistent work with the youngsters.

Since switching to whistles Ty's softened quite a bit. It's easy to forget how much pressure tone can be for some dogs.

We went to the NEBCA Novice Finals this past weekend and while we only came 5th overall in the Ranch class, I was honored to be awarded a crook for Most Promising Team with Ettrick Wren.
I was completely taken by surprise with this award and am so proud of my girl.
