​

Lyra is from my good friend George Walker. This litter was a repeat breeding, and the first cross is doing well in training and trialing. 

​

Lyra was plucked off the farm and took the world by storm! She and I flew from Alberta to Ontario and took the flights like a champion. Lyra oozes confidence, is curious about her surroundings, is attentive, and is very friendly with everyone she meets. She was a fearless puppy and had been bombproof about all her experiences. Nothing rattled this girl's nerves, and she remains the same today. A real take-anywhere-and-do-anything dog.

​​

Lyra officially started formal stock dog training in the early summer and has progressed really well. Lyra has a fair amount of forward, a good pace and a lovely feel for her sheep. She is great with lambs and patient to move them with their mums. I would fault Lyra for being a bit tense in some situations, causing her to make some bad choices. She can be a little independent at times, attempting to come up with her own solutions when working stock. 

 

I look forward to progressing with her and am excited to hit the trial fields with her in 2025.​
