Who do you train with now?

Sounds very good Denise! What trial was this?

I've got great sheep for driving.

I would get her right on the sheep. She's picked up a bad habit, probably through boredom and she needs to be worked to get her brain engaged... Of course, she may take some time to bond back to you, but I would try her on sheep asap.

This is a GREAT video...

Hi Robin

We must be neighbors- my farm is in Rhinebeck NY. Are you training your BC now?

Where are you located?

I agree Denise, and at this time I am offering advice, and help to two new farmers. That said most farmers have a hard time getting off the farm for their tutelage, so they kind of just ask questions as needed. The good ones ask before they are needed...

I find that many people are not interested in "getting their hands dirty" or want to waste time learning how to trim a sheep's foot, or vaccinate. Many people want immediate gratification, that is, help their dog improve on things, so they can do better at trials.

Hi all, since my questions seem to go un-answered elsewhere, can you all give my your opinions on when you should start seeing breeding behavior after you put the girls in with the ram? A friend put her ram in about five days ago, and nothing yet. He was an end of March, early April lamb. Tia
