Fable's Got Some MOVES!

Worked Baby Fable on her gaiting a bit today while herding.  Here's what we saw:

Fable--A tale of a tail!

The intrepid Fable heard that there was livestock nearby--so she decided to follow this track.

She ran into her Mom, who told her if she hurried, she might see SHEEP!

So Fable ran and ran and ran!

Whew!  Fable needed a quick lie down before continuing on her quest.

Mom, were they THIS way???

Wait, I think I smell something here!

Is that the sheepies up ahead?

It IS the sheepies!  I'm going to watch Mom tell the young ram lambs where to go!

Baby Dinah earns her PT Herding Title

The Sensational Six at 3 Weeks!

Please enjoy these candids of the litter I've decided to nickname the "Sensational Six" from our girl, Lowri (lots of herding titles, grand champion, etc.) by the equally sensational Dickens (GCH. CH. Twinroc Santa Paws). 

This is Callie!

Meet Devon!

These are (L-R) Ethan, Bailey and Gabby.

This is Fiona!

 

I call this one, "She's SQUISHING ME!"

Story's Herding Instinct Test on Duckies

Well, I'm thinking this baby has LOADS of herding instinct!

 

 

 

A Tale about Story

Introducing our latest -- Elyan Storybook at Bluefox:

A Herding We Did Go!

It was a beautiful summer day (for a change).  Agility practice at 10:00 a.m. for Baby Dinah was AWESOME!  We learned a lowered A-frame, worked on channel weaves, directed jumping, table, tunnel and started learning the tire jump!  Dinah is FANTASTIC!  She's going to be faster than a speeding bullet!

After a couple hour nap, it was time to drive up to Ron and Susan's farm for herding practice!  Dinah needed some encouragement, but comported herself well again today.  Enjoy the photos!

Things were going well at this point!

Oops, this one is trying to get away!  Dinah is on top of it!

Holding everyone still--exhibiting fine control!

Then we're moving them around the field again.

Another escapee!  Dinah says, "Get back with the others you silly sheepie!"

Ooop, the grass was wet and the sheepie fell down.  Notice Dinah shut her eyes!  Evidently couldn't bear to look!

Whew, the ewe was back on her feet in a flash.  (Dinah still has her eyes shut!)

That'll do!  Good job, Dinah!
