While the puppies have now gone to their new homes and the house is a lot quieter, this lil chunker (previously Fennel) will be here to stay. Serious, sweet, personable, professional escape artist: he made sure he was going to be a keeper. Fingers crossed he'll be a good worker, but for now we'll just soak up the puppy era together 🥹

Chev - 14th out of 130 dogs in Open 1 at the Bluegrass ❤️

It was both me and Chev's first time hitting the top 20 board at the Bluegrass on the tough ewe lambs this year, and I couldn't have been more proud of him. He ran wonderfully, and he set us up for a shot at the double lift, but I had a big mistake and turned the post the wrong way in Open 2 (automatic DQ). He was perfect out on the field, and while I'm disappointed in myself for letting him down in such a big way, I'm proud of my dog for handling the sheep well, especially a year with so many RTs and DQs. I promised to do better for him, and putting my head down and putting in the work so that I can be the handler this good dog deserves ❤️

Aside from that, congratulations to Blake and Indy for being the Bluegrass Double Lift Champions!! It was exciting to watch and well deserved!

The Chias are growing fast 🥹 They've been a fun bunch, and I'm so pleased with how consistent they are as a group. Theyre a bunch of foodies that love to tug and love people, and they have me laughing even when I'm exhausted. They've gotten their first vaccine, and will get microchipped next week. They will be leaving so soon, and I will miss them terribly 🥹❤️

The Chia's (Chev x Fia) turn 4 weeks old today and while they've dominated my stories, I haven't had the time to stop and get their photos! They're such a happy group of puppies and I've soaked up spending time with them as much as I can. They grow up so fast; it's crazy to think that in a few more weeks they'll be leaving for their new homes 🥹❤️ They're starting to develop and show off their personalities... it's definitely my favorite stage of puppy ❤️

Thanks to @southernelmsheepdogs for helping puppy wrangle!

Happy Easter from the newest member of the farm!

Introducing Happy Valley's Find Your Fizz ("Croix")! This little guy is a long haired chihuahua, and has fit in like he was born here. He loves everyone he meets, and has more handler focus and tug drive then some border collie puppies I've raised! I've wanted a teeny dog for years, and he's all that I asked for and more. I can't wait to try out some sports (already ordered teeny antlers for shed hunting!), but for now he just gets to have fun ❤️

The young dogs got to work in a new place while I was out in OK last week, and I got some help and advice working my crew. I have a lot of homework, but always grateful when I come home and training makes a little more sense than it did just a week ago. If you're training and you're NOT uncomfortable, you're not learning--so while it's frustrating to realize I've been doing something wrong for a while, I'm at least on the other side of it! Sometimes dogs learn the right thing in spite of us, but I have a few dogs (and good friends) who are keeping me accountable.
.
.
Spring trials are fast approaching, and while the young dogs will not be quite ready to join, I'm excited to get the older dogs back on the trial field. We need some fine tuning, but I've been picking away at it throughout the winter. Can't wait!
