Wow! I can't believe it's been so long since I have posted here! A lot has been happening! Maggie, Mo's daughter earned her HSAs in the herding arena. Mo has had another litter of pups by CH Kurpas Hunker Down. (We kept a red male) We have been continuing to train in a variety of venues. 2009 is going to be a very busy year with competition in conformation, herding & agility. For better and more current updates....visit my cattle dog web page.

It's Been A Long Time......

Wow! I can't believe it's been so long since I have posted here!!! A lot has happened! Maggie, Mo's daughter earned her HSAs title in the herding arena. Mo has had another litter of pups. (by CH Kurpas Hunker Down) We kept a red male from that litter.

Waco

My husband and I went to Micheal Stetlers ranch for opening weekend of Dove season and to hang out, talk dog and enjoy good company with him and Gaye Warren. Mikes hospitality knows no boundaries!!!! He is one fantastic host! We had a great time hunting and then playing with cattle dogs!! Good food and great friends!!!! This awesome young red pup is Gaye's new baby "Stinger". Not only is she good looking, nut she has more herding instinct in left paw than most ACD's in Texas. You folks better look out when she makes he debut! Here are some pictures of some of Gaye's other young and upcoming ACD's. The red boy is a litter mate to my Maggie, and a Hank grandson.






He really doesn't have all that black on his lips. He was just wet from slurping around in the water trough. :-)



We also got to "play" with some of Gaye's goats. Little herding exercise. These are pictures of Maggie. It was her first time on goats. One of them was a little stubborn, but Maggie gave him the "what for".





Oops!!!! Two are getting away! Better go get them!!!!!!!!


So even after a heck of a work out, the "devil diva" still had enough energy to put up a fuss getting a pedicure. So how many people does it take to trim a cattle dog's nails? Thank you Gaye!!!!!!!




Anyway. we had a fantastic time!! Looking forward to more in November! Right Mike!?!
