Lark is a very talented dog, and she has proven her capabilities at both the sheepdog trials and at home on the farm. I purchased Lark from Inci Willard, who had imported her as an eight week old puppy from Janet Beale in Scotland. Lark was five months old when I got her, and she began sheepdog training soon after that. Lark has many fine qualities, and she is a delight to work. I consider myself very fortunate to have Lark for a partner, and I feel that she is limited only by my lack of experience. Lark is doing well in Open Ranch, and we will be moving up to Open in the spring of 2009. Wish us luck!
Update: Unfortunately, Lark's health caused her to retire from trialing in early 2009.
