Do you need my help?
Of course you need my help
If humans have dog soul mates and partners, than Grace is mine.  She is an excellent working partner on the farm, and
takes every job I give her without complaint.  She learns jobs easily.  She really tries to figure out what I want, even when I
haven't a darn clue.  She is always right there to help.  I have dozens of amusing 'it should have worked stories' with Grace,
and she always ended up saving my butt.

Grace is very pushy on her fetches, but settles nicely into a quiet and controlled drive.  At this stage of her training, she
prefers having the control of her stock in a drive.  She is not quite as confident working cattle as I would like, but gains
confidence with each exposure.  She works all stock, but really likes working ducks.  Which I don't.

Update 03/04/07 - Grace continues to grow more confident on cattle.  She walks right up on heads and hits hard when
necessary.  She will think about hitting in the rear, but hits a bit high, but is thinking about hitting lower.

01/06/08  Grace earned her WTCH in September.  She has complete confidence on cattle, and I have learned to keep my
mouth shut.  She still prefers heads to heels, but will hit behind, although still a bit high.
