Hi everyone

Just a quick update, photos to follow later when they are emailed to me . Elvis and i went to our first Herding class today, we went with a friend from dog club and 2 of her Border Collies, out of the 3 dogs Elvis and Bodie (9 month old pup) did great. Kira on the other hand was a bit nervous and not interested in the sheep.

I need to get in control of Elvis some though as he was not doing as he was told and shown, he is very pig headed like his Mum and Sister . At first he was not interested so our teacher bought in one of her triling dogs as soon as Elvis saw Matti working he join her and did realy well after that.

We also tried him with some paddock work and lets just say that is going to take alot of work, he is so head strong, so we need to get that under control.

The couples dogs were amazing (Mainly Kelpies and one BC, and a Mini Poodle), i am so impressed and have a new respect for working Kelpies, not just my BCs .

Elvis is tired now, but Clover needs to go for a run so he will have to come along with us. I cannot wait for our next class.
