One of the great joys and highlights of life on our sheep
farm is the presence of our wonderful herding dogs, Jet, Meg, and Pip.
These three beautiful Border Collies have each come to us individually, and
each is truly unique. The girls, Jet and Meg, were here first.
Pip joined us more recently in July 2005. We feel truly blessed to
have all three of these beautiful and talented dogs in our lives here at the
farm. Let me tell you a little about them!
 | Jet Jet is the matron of the family, and was born in
1996. She was bred by Orin Barnes of Canyon, Texas, and is sired
by Robert Miller's Jon, and is out of Orin Barnes' Brittney. She
is an AKC herding champion, and is also a veteran cattle dog.
Jet knows all the ropes and can handle most any situation that comes
up without even blinking. See a photo of Jet as a baby on the
Photo Gallery page. |
| Meg Meg was born in 2000. She was bred by Richard
Walter of Stratton, Nebraska, and is sired by Michelle Weese' WF On
The Move ("Moo"), and is out of John Holman's Gin. Meg won high
in trial as well as reserve high in trial in 2002 at the Border Collie
Nationals in St. Louis. She is a very stylish worker. When
not herding, she spends all her time being affectionate and cuddling
up to anyone who will give her a chance. Visiters to the farm
have often fallen in love with Meg's flirtatious ways. Take a
look at Meg herding sheep on the Photo Gallery
page.

| Pip Pip was born in 1999. He was bred by Kay
Stephens of Navasota, Texas, and is sired by Bruce Fogt's Roy, and is
out of Kay Stephens' Bet. We received Pip in July 2005 after his
former owner Andrea Wallace lost her battle with cancer. Pip is
a strong male Border Collie with great stock presence, and is also
extremely affectionate and loyal. He bonded instantly with our
family and has been a wonderful addition to the farm. As might
be expected for such a keen male dog, Pip can be a challenge to work,
and he came into our lives just at the point when we were ready to
step up to this challenge. See a photo of Pip as a puppy on the
Photo Gallery page.

| Puppies planned for 2007!
Mark your calendars! A
breeding is planned for Meg and Pip in early March 2007. Puppies
will be expected later in the spring. We're all very excited,
and we will share the good news and photos as soon as the big event
happens. |
