Description
Nike comes from Steve and Sheri Wight of Mill Iron S Ranch in Idaho. Brianna says that she is as smart as they come and regularly surprises her with her ability to make tricky situations easier. She is fast, keen, and has her father incredible stock sense. She is tenacious and never gives up. Nike would be the Queen of the House if Brianna let her. Her favorite thing is roast pork, which she thinks she needs to share with Brianna whenever it is served. Otherwise, she doesn’t really like food very much, but she loves to work. She will work cows, sheep, whatever is put in front of her.
Brianna’s first passion was eventing (jumps on horseback) but she says sheepdogs are more fun because the communication is “easier” – dogs want to partner with you. Brianna bought her first border collie, Charlie, as a pet and at the time had a lot of little miniature dairy goats that she milked in the morning and evening. Charlie showed a lot of interest in them so she started wondering if he could learn how to herd. Working with local trainer, Shauna Gourley, Brianna was able to train Charlie, driving all over Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and Idaho to compete in Nursery trials that first year. She has been hooked ever since.
