Description
If Caitlin isn’t working sheep she will be trying to work the other dogs. She likes to carry a toy in her mouth and run the perimeter around the group. On bike rides, she is always out in front of all the dogs, she wants to be sure to get there first. She’s a bit competitive especially with her sister June, same breeding different litter, a year younger (now 5). When it’s time to go to work, June is always ready. She is Shaun’s best dog working in the sorting pens and small areas. She is calm and quiet as she moves around the pens. If the sheep are a bit heavy and slow she will reach in and give a gentle nip to a hock, just to wake them up. She can be a bit annoying sometimes as she thinks that it is her job to announce the arrival of a visitor. She might sound fierce but she just wants to let everyone know that someone has arrived.
Shauna was the 2019 Reserve National Champion with her great dog, Jade, now retired. Shauna is a top handler, recognized nationwide with repeated finishes here at Soldier Hollow as well as Meeker, the National Finals and other trials. Shauna has been instrumental in introducing the sport of herding to the local community and she continues to teach both herding and obedience.
