Since I'm still trying to find a good working home for Sammi, the question that people ask is if she is started on stock yet. The answer is no, but only because I have no stock to work. She has a terrific natural outrun, and is really listening well now. Here is a video I took of her thinking she's working when I take the hay into the pen for Beamer and Url:
I know someone not too far away who has sheep, but she doesn't have a training pen. I might have to see if she is willing to work with me and Sammi and Tess; she is the lady who bought Tess's last pup and he should be ready to start on sheep too.
As much as I'd like to keep Sammi, I think it would be a waste not to have her working.

She's a beaut! Such a happy, willing girl. Hope that you can train at the gals place.
Training working dogs...definitely NOT my forte'. Best of luck to you on getting Sammi some work time.
she looks like she's ready to tackle the first big job that comes along.
She's going to be a great one!
Those kinds of dogs definitely do better when they can work. We wish we had more for our dogs to do.
Your corrals look like ours, full of water and mud.
Do sheep behave differently than cows when they are herded??
I think she would make a great sheepdog..:-)
