Jet is a big, handsome boy with a beautiful head and a big heart. Jet was born feet first and I will never forget that long, long tail curling around his hocks! Jet’s destiny is herding, and he’s a natural. From an early age, Jet showed an aptitude as a big out-runner—at four weeks old he would strike out on solo tours of the perimeter of the house. On stock he shows easy, natural balance, lots of power, strong eye, good rate and smooth style. He is a sweet dog who loves every person, dog, cat, bird, horse, pig and pine-cone-tossing toddler that he meets.

Oscar already has his first points in conformation, shown by junior handler Becky, and is looking forward to a future in agility and stockwork. Oscar is a flashy dog of good size, with a great coat, a lovely head and his mother’s melting expression. He lives on 20+ mountainous acres with a variety of critters and friends around the farm, and travels into town ay every opportunity. He is an outgoing, energetic dog with lots of promise!

Brady is destined for a competition career in obedience, agility, breed and rally. At some point he may add herding to his busy schedule. Brady has his mother’s striking good looks and classic markings, along with some of his sire’s smooth style. He is a flashy dog with a lovely long coat and great angles. Brady is an avid retriever of sticks, balls, bones…basically anything he can convince you to throw, and boy does he love to tug! He is an easy-going guy with a sweet nature.

Gigit is her momma’s shadow here at DesertShore, and is focusing on her herding training while she grows up. She lives up to her name with unerring enthusiasm—she utterly charming and a bit wild! Gigit is a darkly marked girl, with a trademark right white glove—a feature her sire, Shep, has given several of his daughters. She favors her sire’s original breed type, as well as his style on stock. Gigit has lots of power and push, strong eye, a low & smooth style, natural balance and square flanks, and a whoah, nelly! straight walk-on. She knows where sheep are going before they do! Gigit is a natural retriever and one of the smartest and most attentive dogs I have ever met. I have never met a dog with a waggier tail, either. I just adore my Gigit-monkey, and look forward to all of the herding adventures that await us!

Roxy is our future agility SUPERSTAR. Like her sister, Roxy is an utter cutie pie, and a darkly-marked girl of a type that harkens to the breed’s originals—Old Hemp, Old Kep, Jim Wilson’s Roy, and a more recent ancestor and personal favorite of mine, ISDS Supreme Ch. John Thomas’ Craig. Roxy has a “turn-herself-inside-out” biddable temperament with loads of drive, and gets along famously with everyone. Roxy enjoys annual summer trips with her clan to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where she hikes and swims all day long with her #1 fan, Cindy’s daughter, Shannon Hogan. Cindy and Roxy are busy preparing for their agility debut, and we anticipate a future full of success from this sensational team!
