Some sheep work for Zen today on dipping day.

24/08/2025

Zen wrapped up her busy weekend by running in the Longfield Novice Final. It was our very first time competing in a final, and she gave it her all, finishing 7th out of 51 dogs across all heights. Over the two days she ran 9 courses and delivered 8 clear rounds – I couldn’t be more pleased with our partnership. For a dog who isn’t really built for agility, and whose true love will always be sheep rather than obstacles, she still went out there and did it just to please me. I couldn’t be prouder. Time for a well-earned rest, little Zen. Powered by Just For Friends dog food.

What an incredible weekend for little Zen! 💫 Her very first Grade 5 show and she only went and smashed it earning all four firsts she needed to move up to Grade 6!

Saturday
🏆 1st – Int Agility (Longfield Novice Q C3–5)
🏆 1st – Int Agility (G4–5)
🥉 3rd – Int Jumping (C4–5)

Sunday
🏆 1st – Int Agility (C4–5)
🏆 1st – Int Agility (G4–5)
🥈 2nd – Int Jumping (G4–5)
✅ Clear Round – Int Jumping (C4–5)

She may not be the speediest dog around the course, but Zen brings accuracy and consistency every single run. I’m so proud to be back in agility after 10 years away, and even prouder that together we’ve gone from Grade 2 to Grade 6 in just 5 months.

She may not hold her own in Grade 6 who knows but to me, she’s already an absolute ⭐.

Thanks to Just For Friends for keeping her fueled for all her adventures

The youngsters are tired after yesterday’s agility camp, but they did so well! Vibe is really starting to change from the nervous, fearful dog she once was. Yesterday she trained confidently around new people, and today she even met a stranger for her chiropractic treatment, not only was she unafraid, she actually enjoyed all the fuss!

18-Month-Old Border Collie Zip is Looking for Her Person

Zip is a sweet-natured, people-loving, and dog-friendly collie who’s ready to find the right home. While she’s well-bred and has been introduced to sheep, she isn’t thriving in a traditional working environment. What she really needs is a dedicated owner who can give her the one-to-one time, attention, and bond she craves to truly reach her potential.

Athletic and keen, Zip would make an excellent prospect for dog sports or an active lifestyle. To support her new owner, I’m offering one year of Fort K9 online mentoring/coaching, as she’s very much my type of dog I just don’t have the time or space for another young one.
