"Abigail"
Abigail is ABCA & AKC registered and came from a small cattle ranch in California. She has OFA Excellent hips, Normal elbows and eyes, DNA clear through Optimal Selection other than carrier for IGS and EOAD. She is retired from breeding.
Abigail is 32-34lbs and about 19" tall.
Abbie is a really great natural herder and has lovely instinct, very responsive to her handler, great sense of group, and keeps a very cool head. Our herding trainers have all said she's brilliant, and we have been to several over her life. We are working towards getting trial ready. She is nearly ready but I need to catch up because the sheep still trip me over, I feel very anxious out there, and our commands are not solid. Outside of herding, we do a lot of trick training, obedience, and disc and freestyle for fun. We have recently began competing in barn hunt, which she is awesome at and really loves doing. We had started training for fly ball and while I have a feeling she would really enjoy it, but we haven’t been consistent in training for it and are unlikely to pursue it. She has tried dock diving and loves water, has also been to lure coursing practice events several times and LOVES it and is really fast. She is a very versatile dog who is more than willing to try anything you want her to. Our location is pretty lacking in dog sport opportunities so with Abigail, we have primarily focused on herding.
With being a dog trainer, we have always had a lot of dogs around and Abigail has always handled client dogs in and out of the home with grace. She is very dog savvy and she helps us a lot in our work because she is not afraid to tell a dog off who is being pushy/rude/dominating. She also is a pro at defusing situations, never goes overboard and is extremely passive with most dogs, making her very easy to work with dogs. She is wonderful with environmental changes and she has certainly led an ever changing life so far. We lived in a van and traveled full time for a whole year with 3 dogs and 2 parrots. Abigail remained ready to work and good tempered during all of it. She is truly my “ride or die” dog and she is so reliable and sound. She is a trustworthy girl who never wants to do the wrong thing. She learns new behaviors faster than any other dog I’ve worked with (and I have trained many.) She can be prone to barking during freestyle routines and has extreme enthusiasm for tricks. Her favorites are rebound, roll over and leg weaves. She is a fully trained public access dog who is 100% neutral in public settings.
She was a slow to mature dog and reached her full mature adult brain and body around 3-4 years old. She is very handler driven, only has eyes for me and happily ignores anything and everything when she is working, whether that be heeling around with me in public, doing tricks, practicing disc, what have you. She is extremely affectionate with dogs and people that she knows and is happy to say hi to strangers, once I release her to go say hi. She has three litters of puppies on the ground which are doing really well in various venues including competitive agility, full time herding, obedience, and active loving companions.
Abigail is the mother of the Spices, National Parks, RPG, and Flames litters.
