sheep

Yesterday Luc went chasing sheep! When he was 9 months old he did really well, than at 1 year old he was not interested.
Yesterday we opened the gate and he ran in, 3 sheep went in 3 different directions. We let him have fun. Now I want to go back and see how he progresses with this.
Thanks Lou! Isla too. I think she got him all riled up, thinking he was a stud muffin and the sheep let him blow off steam. Luc is very sensitive and always wants to do what is asked of him. I think the instinct will come out even more if we just get out and do this.

Thoughts

Luc has been in 2 trials, Our first one was our group, Training Troop trial in Oct.
He was just in 2 runs per day. Our next trial was in Calgary at the CAA Nov. trial.
He was entered in everything. I was very pleased with him.

Words that people have used to describe him are, kind, common sense, thoughtful, and the latest one is peaceful. I agree with these descriptions of him.
Do not let these words foolyou into thinking of a easy,loping dog on course. He is a speedster.

We had to move our equipement out of the arena for 2 weeks as they are having a couple of cow sales in there. So I brought some equipement home. Teeter, jumps, weaves and tunnels.
Today we are going to do some jump grids.
