Loot
11/13/2020
Loot was an unplanned addition to the family after I was grieving the loss of my puppy Wren. He is my first border collie and has a whole new world to teach me about.
​
I often say that Loot is a golden retriever in a border collie body with his over-the-top adoringness of all people. We spent the majority of our first year together working on being able to eat food at home and in different environments, and learning to keep calm when people look at him. It's still a work in progress!
​
He is a BIG THINKER type of border collie who needs things broken down into the smallest of smallest pieces so he doesn't worry about knowing the answer.
​
Loot has enjoyed competing in agility and has just stepped foot into the obedience ring. He brings a lot of speed and flash along with a level head!
​
Unfortunately, he has developed anxiety around dogs barking due to an unfortunate incident and his career in both sports is on hold.​

Ginny

Ginny was a visitor to my house that I ended up "stealing" to be mine. She has fabulous happy boings and fantastic snuggling. She reminds me a lot of her amazing aunt Zumi and of course, brings a lot of her own unique traits to the table as well.
​
Ginny is an eager worker but lower in energy than many of my previous tollers, despite her extreme vertical hops! Bringing out that speed and motivation was/is a big goal of ours for agility.
Currently Ginny is doing great in agility and has already earned multiple UKI championships and podium placements at midwest events.​
​
She is also extremely nervous around people so we are approaching trial prep for obedience carefully and slowly. Ginny will tell me if she will ever be able to handle the competition ring and I'll do my best to listen.

Ravioli
3/26/2025
Ravioli is a windsprite (a sighthound related to whippets) that just joined our family!
​
I was looking for a calm dog who would handle the chaos of living with young kids, and a border collie, and not add to the excitement.
​
We are still getting to know young Ravi and look forward to watching him grow!
Freya

Freya Kitty is a Maine Coon that loves to eat and thus loves to train. She was picked out because I always wanted a fun cat to train, but realized I didn't want an actual high energy cat who would need a lot of "work" to keep fulfilled.
Freya meets that goal! She loves to be involved, but isn't going to break any speed records in her work! Her cattness comes out often in desires to just rub me or the targets instead.
Freya is proud to say that she is the only cat to have earned her TEAM Obedience level 1 title, and TEAM rally 1 title!
​​
Freya is also proud to be a fully recovered FIP Warrior.
