Wise Words For The Wannabes
I used to be a Doglover, and its not always a fun place to be. The reality of sheepdog training is
that a beginner will always make mistakes with their first dog- lots of them. Your first dog will be
“ruined”. No matter how good it is, it will never be the dog it could have been in “the right hands”.
That’s really hard for a Doglover to cope with, and in some cases people seem to be crippled by the
fear of it and never get around to trialling their dogs, because they aren’t “ready”, and they don't
want to let their dogs down. I think that’s really sad. For most of us, there are lessons that can only
be learned by getting out there and having a go- and probably making a mess of things, but that’s
part of the journey. You just have to take a deep breath and jump in.

The Modern Woman 's Place In Sheep Dog Trials, Amongst Other Things
Sam Weaver's blog pages display all the challenges of a 21st century woman's efforts to
balance her place in farming, with career, motherhood and the sheep dog sporting world
written with acumen and using excellent illustrations, at times straying into emotional and
philosphical areas with a depth of feeling rarely put into words. A must see for any sheep dog enthusiast.
