I haven't talked about Emily for awhile and thought I would share some exciting news. Emily and I will very soon be taking lessons at Kensmuir Farms in River Falls, WI. We are going to begin our training to herd sheep. I found Kensmuir through my friend Susan in Wyoming who also raises Shetland sheep and Border Collies. Susan is much more experienced in training working stock dogs and I very much appreciate her expertise. Susan has also invited me to attend a clinic in May at Kensmuir featuring Derek Scrimgeour who is from Scotland and is a very well known expert in training working stock dogs. Both Emily and I plan to camp out with Susan at the clinic and will hopefully be able to take a lesson with Derek while we are there.
Emily is now 10 months old and has come into her first "heat". I would post a picture of her but she is rather embarrassed right now because she has to where "underpants" in the house. I have to say it is quite challenging to keep her separated from my son's dog Kaiser. While Kaiser is quite handsome in his own way he is not a suitable match for Emily. Kaiser is a very nice friendly Pit Bull and I'll let you imagine what their puppies would look like. Hopefully we won't find out!
