I’m super excited to announce that Gemini and Chev have been bred! Puppies are due at the end of July or early August, with go-home dates in October.
Gemini

• Hips: Good
• Elbows: Normal
• Shoulders: Normal

Gemini has dabbled in almost every sport or activity under the sun including, but not limited to, disc, herding, dock diving, and agility. Due to some handler limitations, her primary job is serving as a medical alert service dog, while also acting as the main farm chore dog. She works for anyone from family, to friends, to strangers. She’s a funny, sassy girl in a compact package, weighing roughly 30lbs and standing 18 inches tall.

Chev is a talented multi-sport boy whose primary focus is USBCHA and NASDA. He began trialing on open field courses before the age of two and also works on his owner’s farm as a chore dog.

Why this blend?
It’s no secret that the Flower Power litter is nearly perfect. Their biggest challenge has been settling down until after maturity.
Gemini is a higher white pup, so I knew I needed a darker factored dog if we were going to breed her, which already narrowed our gene pool. Add in the herding ability that both Jessa and I wanted, plus the need for AKC registration, we landed on Chev, a Moel Sweep son. His lines bring a natural “off switch,” incredible herding instinct, strong structure, and solid food/toy motivation.
We’re expecting these pups to be the perfect blend of sporty and herding, while also being able to live as easy house pets.
