We were quite spoiled for choice with Missy’s litter and, from the four puppies in the litter, we kept three, including this lovely tri girl. One look at her awesome side movement put paid to any thoughts of letting her go.
Somewhat more independent than her sister, Missy is the only one of Susan’s crew who is agile and lithe enough to clear the cat door into the barn, and will abandon the group ball games to go and visit with the farm felines!
Missy is a somewhat less-than-enthusiastic showgirl, and, while she is pointed in Canada, her niche appears to be in the herding pen.
Despite limited experience, Missy took on some very challenging sheep at the US National Specialty Herding Trial in September 2009, and was the ONLY one to achieve two qualifying runs in the Herding Tested classes, thus earning her first AKC title! At the 2010 National, she put in two lovely Pre-Trial Tested runs to earn her second herding title, and followed that up by winning the Herding Titled Bitch class later in the week – we are very proud of her!
