New Year’s Day

At the Atherton’s. Nice people, nice dogs (and Bill came along too), a drink or two and a sad little collapse into bed at half past ten with the kiddies.

One of Phil Doherty’s young dogs- Ramulam Don x Ramulam Jen

Sam Lloyd and Kumbark Yindi (Badgingarra Bobby x Christies Driftz)

Ramulam Gus (Boylee Doug x Branga Spec)

 Mac’s Boss and Ollie (Badgingarra Jake x Daheim Queani)

The Jake/Queani boys are starting to grow up a little- Boss is the most serious, still the most like his mum and a bit softish, while Ollie is just a great big sweet pup who has some growing up to do. Boss will stay here, Ollie will probably be looking for a new home soon.

Boylee Copper (Boylee Tobie x Boylee Speck)

Copper was an unexpected Christmas gift, and if things work out he might be my new trial prospect. His first time on sheep looked okay- I just need to work out how to catch him!

An up and coming Ramulam kelpie pup 

Pete Doherty’s newest additionAn Olboa Ben x Jandoree Molly pup

Sooty is an up and comer too- not sure where she’s coming up to or from, but she’s too cute to care

Pavlova and fruit- Aussie kid fuel!   

    Looking forward to a fabulous New Year!

 And a good solid nap…

Sheepdog training weekend

Posted for Nan, because her very excellent website (www.sheepdogs.com.au) is down temporarily. Nan's training days are always good fun and good value- she caters for everyone, all sorts of dogs, handlers from different backgrounds and levels of experience. Plus great food (unless I'm taking something, in which case be careful) and hospitality. And FREE!

To be held on the 5th and 6th of June at Murray and Nan Lloyd’s property, west of Darkan, Western Australia.

Start at about 9am but people can come at anytime during the day either on the Sat or the Sun

If you have a young dog you want to start the right way or if you are having problems with an older dog come along for some assistance.
Experienced handlers will be available to assist and explain the principals of dog training.
We can also supply information for anyone who would like to have a go at sheepdog trialling now or in the future.
Or if you just want to come a long for a look to see what we are about then you are more than welcome.

There is no charge but if anyone wants to stay for lunch we ask that they bring a plate of food to share.
We can also supply accommodation if required.
