CCDT at the Farm

12/21/2025

We had some beautiful weather for our Herding Fun Run day for some of our herding clients.

They learned some of the ins and outs of heading to their first trial by watching demos of the American Kennel Club's Pre-trial Tested course and the American Herding Breeds Association's Junior Herding Dog Test.

They then got to try each course with their dog, complete with sheep set out crew (which they also learned how to help with!)

My only regret is that I didnt snag photos of all the teams there. 😭

Looking forward to seeing these teams at some trials in 2026!

We had a great time providing the sheep for a Live Nativity in Silver Lake this evening.

This was our 5th year attending this event and we always enjoy seeing the people (especially the kids!) get excited to see the sheep.

We also educate a lot of people on hair sheep, as most have not heard of them. They also get to watch the dog load and unload the sheep from the trailer, always a crowd pleaser!

Resident Farm cat, Gypsy, helping me set up for a new herding client's first lesson.

Some of you may not know but Gypsy lived in our facility in Topeka until we built our training building on the farm. Now she is fascinated by herding. If she is inside the building, she will watch in the window and if the door is open, she will often come outside and watch. Sometimes she even joins us in the arena 🤦‍♀️

She may take over teaching the lessons pretty soon...🤣
