This past weekend I took a few of my girls herding to get them ready for Sheltie nationals in April. That included my 4.5 month old firecracker Fury. It was her first time on stock of any kind. My trainer took her in on a long line, and before she was even done shutting the gate, my puppy had taken off. She was not at all intimidated by the stock. To say she is enthusiastic is an understatement :x I'm going to be going herding 2-3 times a month through nationals to get them ready. We're hoping to have Fury ready to test for her HT at the national.

Video was taken as soon as I could get the phone turned on. She needed no intro time to warm up to the stock
There were a few small hiccups where she and Shelby got tangled up, but otherwise she was all about the stock.
In addition to her, I worked Athena who will be working on her PT at the national, and Ember and Breeze who'll also be working on their HT. Hopefully by summer we'll have them all ready to do started level work.

I really like her. She is so much fun to train.
