:eek: OMG! Is... it.. really... Visa pics?! Wow, she's a really really gorgeous Belgie! It looks like she has awesome eye and a lot of control too. You must keep training her and get her to trials ^.~

I can't wait for more Visa pics, she's totally stunning! She looks really soft and fluffy too ;) you're so lucky!

Thanks! I definatly want to compete with her. :D First I'd like to go to a clinic though and learn a bit. Visa had so much fun herding the sheep, I'd love to do some more.

Here's another picture!

Great pics!! I really wish herding was available here.... Emily loved it so much when we went to a herding clinic a couple years ago...

I hope you guys do get to go to trials... that'd be wicked! :D

Visa is a gorgeous girl with what looks like a lot of herding talent!!! I can't wait to hear how she continues to work and improve/perfect her skills! :)

I LOVE the picture of her running up on them! She definitely keeps them neatly together, which is unbelievable for a beginning dog. It's really hard to get a dog to be soft enough not to make the sheep scatter, but steady enough to earn their respect.

:p Gonzo, on the other hand, freaked out his sheep from the moment he got into the pen! His eye is a tinsey bit too hard.

Thanks guys! :D

Yeah, Diana (the lady in the pictures) said that Visa definatly has what it takes. :D She said that Visa is one of the best of her breed that she's worked with, and that she is soft enough to listen to command but has enough drive. She said that when we go to a clinic our main focus will be to take her drive and tone it down because she has ALOT of drive lol. Visa did try to attack the sheep a few times, especially in the beginning when she kept trying to pick one out of the flock (lamb chops :p ). So Diana thought she wasn't going to do well, but as they got into it, Visa learned to respect the sheep and when one sheep went away from the flock she brought it back to them (which was totally cool) and it was like she was really working with Diana. She kept her distance from the sheep and moved to keep them in a group, it was just so neat. When we pulled away, she saw another dog herding the sheep and she went into drive and had a total freak out lol.
