Holly ~ April 2006

This sweet young lady, now named 'Holly', lives on a ranch in Texas where she herds cows, chases bunnies, rides in the tractor, and plays all day long with Edwin and her Aussie companions Levi & Dusty !

and we dare not forget how little Miss Holly patiently sits on the picnic table, watching through the window as Edwin works at his computer...we know she's just waiting for the chance to assist him with his office work!!!

Molly

Miss Molly is a Colorado girl who is definitely living up to her heritage of beauty, brains and stock savvy....read on for a peek into Molly's new life!

Hello Judy!

I apologize for not writing sooner...but...I have been crazy busy!!! I wanted to give you an update on Miss Molly. She is an incredible dog and we absolutely adore her! She and Shakespeare (the worlds largest corgi) get along famously and play and play and play. The first time we took her out to meet the horses she was a little shy but not the least bit intimidated....but I kept careful watch over her just in case.  While she has been very careful to stay near me and away from them...that changed last week.

I needed to move the horses (5 of them) from the Southern pasture to the Northern one. This required moving them about 1/2 mile down our dirt road to get them to the Northern pasture. I had the brilliant idea that if I had a lure (carrots) that they would follow me and I could move them all at the same time....only haltering the lead mare. WRONG!!! As soon as they were out they had no intention of doing anything but running willy-nilly everywhere. I started to panic...not knowing how to get them herded to the gate. And in comes our heroine...Molly! She jumped out of the truck...cut a big circle around to the back horse and started driving him forward....she kept running in a semi-circle, up on side...pushing the horses into a line...and then around the other side. Whenever the lead mare veered off, Molly ran to the front and "stared" her down...barking and jumping at her until she changed direction.

I opened the gate and she pushed them through. It was amazing! The only problem was that after she pushed them through she wanted to herd them all around the pasture...basically, she didn't want to quit. An area that I definitely need to work on....as soon as I learn how to teach her using signals.

Anyway...I thought that I would let you know how strong the herding instinct is in your dogs. I've enclosed a picture I took right after....see how happy she looks! As soon as I took her picture she ran and jumped into the horse water trough...she l-o-v-e-s water!!!

I hope you are doing well and I'll write more later.
