Trial & Error Acres
Rye's Page
Rye is the youngest member of the sheepdog team at Trial & Error Acres, and I am extremely pleased to have him. Rye was born in June of 2009, and he is the son of Maid. For now, Rye will simply be enjoying his puppy hood and learning the things that all good dogs need to know. Starting at the age of four months, Rye has been exposed to sheep every few weeks. He is showing some nice qualities for a youngster, and I have high hopes for him to become a really special sheepdog. Welcome to the family, Rye!
Rye has grown into a handsome youngster, and his talent for working sheep has become quite apparent. Rye is taking training in stride, and he shows many qualities that will serve him well in his career as a sheepdog. I am looking forward to continuing his education for stockwork, and he is always a very willing partner. I nave now started competing with Rye in sheepdog trials, and he is doing quite well! He has shown many fine qualities that will help him become a very capable partner on the trial field.
