​

Key is my keeper puppy from my breeding by A. Milliken's Carl (now owned by D. Sharp) out of my Crunch. Although there are times I could say she also chose me! She's best described as a “middle of the pack” puppy, not too much or lacking in anything. Key is very biddable, people-friendly, and dog-neutral. She is very much a one-person dog but loves getting pets from almost anyone. Overall, Key's shown to be wise beyond her years, making her a wonderful partner.

​

Key started her stockdog training in the late summer of 2023. She has shown to have a great pace, a nice feel for her sheep, big outruns, and square flanks, she is coming along very nicely. Key has displayed to have quite a bit of presence on her stock and can move some difficult sheep when she takes time to adjust. She's a very stylish dog and enjoys penning and scooping sheep out of corners. We currently train on North Country Cheviots, she's trained on flocks of Scotties as well as mixed wool sheep. Key also enjoys playing frisbee on the side and has done a little bit of agility.

​

Key is spayed; she had one unplanned/mismate litter resulting in 2 pups, born February 23rd, 2024.
