​

Lyra is from my good friend George Walker from out West. This litter was a repeat breeding with the first cross doing well.

​

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 pro.

Lyra oozes confidence, is curious about her surroundings, attentive, and very friendly with everyone she meets. Nothing rattled this girl's nerves, and she remains quite the same to this day. A real take-anywhere-and-do-anything dog.

​​

I started Lyra's formal training in the summer of 2024, and she's progressed well. I opted to send her off in the spring of 2025 for a bit to learn some new things and fix some of my errors. I'd best describe Lyra as having a fair amount of forward and a lovely feel for her sheep. She is great with lambs and patient enough to move them with their mums and excels in close-up work. I would fault Lyra for having a lot of eye, sometimes getting sticky and the urge to head sheep.​
