Description
Sweep is a 7-year old male dog. Sweep is a consistent open trial and has a very silly personality off sheep and demands attention from anyone who walks by him. He loves everyone and jumps and squeaks whenever he meets a new person. He also makes a funny, but friendly, growling noise when he gets a good pet. He’s very brave on sheep, but a bit inconsistent. He is a grandson of Ricky Hutchinson’s famous Sweep and a grandson of Allen Mill’s famous Sis.
Kay lives in Normangee, Texas, which is just outside of College Station, the home of Texas A&M University. She became involved in herding in 1988 with a smart little sheltie. She got my first border collie, Grace, in 1992 and started in novice competitions with her in 1995. Kay worked as a veterinarian initially as an equine intensive care specialist, then making a career change to specializing in behavior and training problems in dogs. She studied with many of the top behaviorists and trainers in the country, including trainers at Sea World. Since 1992 Kay has trained hundreds of dogs of all breeds and helped multiple dogs suffering with anxiety and aggression. She trained two of the Reveille mascots -rough collies- for Texas A&M. Kay recently co-authored with Beth Kerber a book on training border collies for herding.
