DOB 11 April 2006
Spur lives with Sue McGee and family in Duvall,
Washington.
Updates:
March 2008 - I have a small brag to announce. Spur & Gambler
earned their RD title today from judge Marti Parrish. Marti said Gambler is a
good right hand man, and that Spur is very talented. She was particularly
impressed how she worked the new born lambs. Only her fourth time working ewes
with new lambs. It's no surprise that she is very good with our granddaughter
who is now 7 months old. If she could just get into that diaper...also Marti
said Spur was going to be a good cow dog. Come to think of it, I thought her
duck work was pretty good too!

January 2007 - Spur was a star student
today in our first tracking class. Although I never doubted her ability, she was
practically perfect. Even being the youngest dog there she didn't take a back
seat to the coon hound or any of the others. We were the only team who had never
tracked before...haven't got a clue what I'm doing. Spur had the whole thing
figured out & saved my ass. Tracking was recommended by Elsie. I've always
wanted to try it anyway. We meet at Jan Wesen's place, then head out into the
fields. This time of year, huge flocks of swans winter over in the stubbled corn
fields. With snow draping the foothills, and the sun reflecting off the silver
wings of the swans in flight, it just doesn't get much better. What a good day.

Gambler in pursuit of a great life herding & doing all sorts of other things...
