maybe Dice and Squirtnik. Jenna is a work in progress.}

Awe, shucks. ;-)

Of course, while Jenna may be a work in progress, she is a seriously
lovely little elf-dog.

Now, if I was to get into serious herding, I might consider a pup,
but that's probably not going to happen. And there's enough 'flash'
heeheehooo coming through, on _nice dogs, that I'll still be able
to get what I want.

I understand that it's pretty difficult to judge herding ability in
any given unstarted pup.

I have a friend with a BC from CP (Debbie - you met her & her dog at
that fun match). He is going to be (and really already is) a pretty
awesome agility & flyball dog. Very, very pretty dog as well.

He's also probably not going to be much of a herding dog. Suprised?

I like the second chance dogs, the diamonds in the rough, and am more
impressed and excited by the sucesses people have with them.
