2022-2023 Market lamb

Really? I mean I do want a poodle for obedience training but I’ve never had a dog. I only do doggy day care at school sometimes

Poodles, while very smart, are a lot of grooming. Of course I'd suggest a herding breed over a Poodle.
But definitely REALLY!!! With what I've seen you do with Dutch any dog breeder who is worth their salt would love to have you as an owner of one of their pups. Seriously. I've bred a lot of litters and you are exactly what I look for. I also show, and judge (herding and scentwork) so I know a lot of breeders out there.

Here it comes again, but it’s not as big.

Yep we are getting tons of wind already. It’s just ganna be windy. I’m worried the animals will get pneumonia. How do you treat that in sheep??

That’s cool, what do you breed. Can you train a herding dog to do all the show tricks and still chase and herd?

I would love to have a dog but I don’t have enough time for puppy. I would only get a dog if I have the time and the money for one. I would only want a puppy so I can train it how I want to.

@SageHill i am afraid to get a dog that sheds. I can’t do all the hair and mess that comes with it. I’m allergic to undercoated dogs. But I still am in vet class where we take care of all the teachers dogs. I’m also allergic to cats yet I have one at home and at school. So I feel like it doesn’t really matter at this point.

Use LA 2000, it’s for respiratory infection. I have some, never used it. That’s what the bottle says. LOL

Thx. He seems fine. I just went to check on him. I had him run for a min and his breathing seemed fine. His tarp is dead. We are just getting hurricane force gusts constantly. It actually really nice now.

OMG -- most definitely you can train a herding dog to do anything and still herd (be careful chase is not a word we use in herding!!! ). Herding breeds are quick to learn just about anything. Though most do have undercoats. Depending on the breed some "blow coat" once or twice a year, with minimal shedding instead of constant shedding.
Bummer about being allergic to dogs though.

@BrahmerQueen went the right the eye right? How did the lambs do???


The next show is at Vero Beach this Sunday. And guess where the hurricane made landfall?


Your right! Dead center vero beach.

Yep I’m allergic to a lot of thinks but I don’t care.

What I meant by chase is to have a dog that will run the lambs around a track

We'd call that moving them, or moving them through a course. Think of chase as something a coyote would do. Or a stray dog. Chase is basically something out of control. An untrained herding dog will chase. (taking off my herding judge hat).
