Atlas is a gorgeous dog!
I'm not involved with herding, but Ruby is (she has some australian cattle dog in her). She loves to herd her people. She's very happy when we're all in one room togetherShe doesn't do much heal-nipping (thanks goodness), but sometimes if you're running with her she'll take a nip at your heals and try to herd you... It doesn't hurt, and she only seems to do it to people she knows (another thank goodness... I don't want some stranger to think she's attacking them!
). So... it's not a problem.
I'm glad to hear that your first trial went so well!! Congrats!![]()
