Welcome to Hay Ewe Border Collies! I have been involved with Border Collies since 1997 when I lived in Southern California. I adopted a "Border Collie mix" from the Pasadena Humane Society for my son in hopes that the dog would play fetch. He didn't. So I decided to find something else for him to do. I saw an ad in the paper for sheepherding, and went out for an instinct test. The minute I saw my dog chase those sheep, I was hooked! Now I've got a small pack of dogs, a big truck, and have moved to Idaho in order to be able to afford some land and some sheep! (Gee, thanks a lot, Ted!) So for all you out there that say, "Oh, I'd love to see what my dog would do on stock," ... let me be the first to warn you ... this is an expensive statement!

This year, I helped form a herding group called Gem State Herding. GSH offers clinics, lessons, fun days, places to practice, and AHBA trials throughout the year. We are an active group whose primary focus is promoting herding here in the Gem State.

Please feel free to check out my Stockdogging Blog. I try to keep it as up to date as possible.

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email.

Happy herding!
