Scotia is very busy now with obedience training and we are starting our tracking and we are playing with some herding too.  She is showing great promise in both!   She began her show career in Red Deer in November 2011.  Although she didn't do anything, she showed me that this is also something she will have great ZEST for, and that makes me very happy .... as she matures she will be something to look for in the ring .... even with that tail!!!

In October 2011, at just under 9 months old, Scotia got to experience sheep for the first time.  Well to say she expressed her usual over exuberance would be an understatement.  She didn't pass her HIC, but we will be back, she was very keen and can't wait to see her with a little more ... restraint!

So just a little over a month later Scotia and I headed out to Phantom Ridge Ranch to work with instructor Louanne Twa (pictured below), and Scotia showed that after about 20 minutes of working with Louanne in a pen with several sheep she CAN use her brain and she passed her HIC!!!  AND we are going back for more lessons!!!  Can't wait for more updates and pics of her actually herding sheep!!!

Scotia showing her 'keen-ness' for sheep ....

 

 

Little bit graining but here is Scotia in the show ring in December 2011 at 10 month old .....

 

Here are some baby Scotia pics from 2011 .... love her little face :o)

Here are a few pics of Scotia working as a puppy, almost 7 months ... love this girl!

Below are 2 pics of Scotia at 7.5 and 8 weeks old, she was a very balanced baby dog!

Scotia's parents are absolutely outstanding and we are just so blessed to have the chance to one day incorporate them into our breeding program via this little girl.  You can see from her pedigree below how outstanding they are, and these following photos will show you as well.  Special thanks to both Johnna for Brava's pictures as well as Jane Hobson for allowing us to use the photos of Timo.

Brava's championship picture.  Below is Brava in the conformation ring and in the herding arena!!!

And of course, Timo ....
