Maybe crate her in your bedroom, first night away from siblings n Mum makes ur first night pretty much the norm. Rosie did the same.

To have fun with Rosie doing everything she enjoys, any titles/passes will just be an added bonus Cheers Riles

Dearest Mr & Mrs Springer My heart breaks for you both, Max was such a special boy and knowing the insurmountable love you have for him, makes it beyond my comprehension how your coping I still remember him in his Dads arms at the beach that day. Rest In Peace Max, the hole you've left with your family will probably never heal. Riles

:D Miracles happened in those two bloody days! ;) :D

How did we go? HOW DID WE GO???? We just spent the last two days with the Monty Roberts of the herding world. Incredible, amazing, gobsmacked!!!!! It is beyond my comprehension how lucky we were to get the opportunity to attend, the results will be seen this coming season, it will blow your mind. Cheers Riles PS: Thanx for the hot tip about the aero guard,I had Tropical strength and we had to keep putting it on every half an hour. Mutant bloody flies alright, Tuesday we thought we were going to be carried away by them and it was stinking hot, yesterday was a lovely day cause it rained. Absolutely spewing I didn't have a cam corder and your right, I could have spent a month with Lyn, you just could NEVER tire of the woman.

Good luck chooka, I'm sure you'll go great guns Make sure you post up how you go, we should start a "herding" thread for all things herding :p

Yeh I can't wait!!!! We have so much to learn and I'm really looking forward to it. I'll be sure to tell him Mrs D is waiting with baited breath when I see him

Thanks Squeak, Rosie sounds quiet similar to Storm, I'll start tonight and let you all know how I go She is just such a quiet girl and the only time you hear noise is when she is asleep and she groans ;) ;) She does, would you believe at the trial she had her head resting on the back of the sheep trying to push them up and they just stuck her up because she is such a soft worker ie. hard sheep don't take her serious. I got THE phone call last night!!!! Come on Mrs D, you should know what THE phone call would be............. took your advice and have been lucky enough to get into one of God's clinics at the end of October ;) :D :p

Yeh I'm with SM, drag mum along :rolleyes: People don't realise how amazing it is until they see it themselves and she is one SUPER herding dog!!!!!
