Cal is one of our pick boy from the Jamaica X Sunny litter. We had hoped to breed Echo with Sunny, but due to our crazy life it didn't work out. When Jamaica came into heat a week later, it was the perfect solution. We could not believe our luck with this cross. We swore we wouldn't keep a smooth coat, but Cal demanded we keep him with his drive, structure, and trainability. Not to mention that he stole Megan's heart. Cal will train for sports and live with Megan. Cal lives for disc and started competing in Spring 2021. He is the quietest dog until he hears the word Frisbee, then the screaming begins. Started with rollers and with a small amount of bite work, he was grabbing flying discs out of the air. He took very little training to start competing in Disc. He is fast and extremely accurate with catches. He has become one of our most competitive disc dogs. He gives a 100% in training with beautiful focus and enthusiasm. In training classes, his eyes rarely leave his handler. He can be passed on to other handlers and give the same focus and drive. The trainer Megan works with loves Cal and steals him for demos any chance she gets. Cal picks up on tricks or commands very quickly with very few repetitions. He is both food and toy motivated. He has a very nice off switch when it comes time to relax. Overall, he is a chill boy and can be a complete couch potato. Every dog has faults and so does Cal. He has a strong bite with discs, so cheap frisbees do not last more than one game before they are full of puncture holes throughout the disc. He has a high pitch scream when he is super excited.

Rubik's is our pick puppy from our Secret X Riot litter. Levi waited an extra year for the perfect Secret puppy for his own next sport dog. Levi fell in love with him at birth and they bonded quickly. Even though Lynette fell in love with Fire, Levi bonded with Rubiks. When he came back genetically clear, it was meant to be. He is an extremely affectionate boy that loves everyone he meets. He is fairly bomb proof and even hit a parade before he was a year old and loved all the attention. He is quick to learn tricks and moderate-high drive. His short legs make it hard to keep up with the big dogs, but he always tries and considers himself a big dog. Rubik's will train for disc and flyball and may dabble at other sports, pending what Levi has time for.

Billy was a bit of an impulse buy of ours. We did love him as a puppy but had just added some new lines. When he became available as a 2 year old when we were considering a new stud dog, it seemed like a perfect time to add him to our program. Billy is an extremely sweet, loving boy that has never met a stranger, human or animal. Everybody is his best friend. He even loves puppies and plays with the young puppies very gently. He takes to all new experiences with ease. He is unfazed by storms, sounds, or scary situations. He has great food drive and learns very quickly for food. He is more medium energy and has a great off switch. He is solid muscle and very athletic when playing. He can keep up with most of our dogs when running and runs through the forest at full speed with ease. He has started playing with toys and we are still perfecting returning with them. Billy will continue to train to see what he does best at. Billy will sire some litters at First Harmony Farms. Billy is available for outside stud.

Secret is from the Love X Magic litter. Secret was the highest drive puppy in her litter with an amazing recall, amazing tug drive, and great human focus. She has Magic's toy drive but a soft enough mouth that she doesn't destroy things like many aussies. She can even carry baby chicks and wildlife around in her mouth without killing them, much like our setters. She does believe that all button style eyes from stuffed animals should be removed though. Her favorite toys are her squeaky squirrel and the bounciest ball she can find, which is why my racquetballs keep disappearing. She likes disc, but needs bite work before rounds for a good grip to hold air catches on landing. Unfortunately, she inherited Magic's bark. She is quiet as a mouse until excited and then she barks nonstop. We were able to train quiet for all things but playing ball and disc. She managed to get the super thick coat of her mother which makes her stunning and a lot of grooming when she blows coat. She is quick to learn and loves to be around her people, preferring to be in the house getting attention than out playing. She has Magic's aussie bounce and a ton of aussie wiggle butt. Secret lives for car rides and loves any drive-short or long. Secret will compete in sports and has already started competing in disc and agility with junior handlers. She always prefers Lynette, but will play with any kid if Lynette is not near by, making her a favorite of the novice junior handlers we work with to practice skills. She is being trialed by a variety of junior handlers in disc and agility since she is willing to work for almost anyone that sweet talks her.

Reba was our pick puppy from the Lexi X Soldier litter. Reba is very sweet and friendly with all people, including toddlers and kids. She is a tiny girl that reminds us so much of Desi, who is one of our all time favorite minis. She even likes to pack on the pounds like Desi and is an easy keeper. She loves to play and is quick to learn. She loves the water and may even get a chance at the dock once she is older. Reba is very human focused and prefers to be with her people than off doing things with other dogs and by herself. As soon as her person is out and having fun, she is all in. Otherwise, she is on the couch beside you or by the desk. Reba does great with all dogs-strangers, puppies, and even the more obnoxious ones. She will put the others in their place when they overstep their bounds and can be a bit of a fun police. Reba is great with the cats but hasn't been around farm animals.

Fin is our pick puppy from our Echo X Dash litter. He is a med-high drive boy with beautiful structure and an amazing personality. Fin has never met a stranger and loves kids. He lives to play with his jolly ball and chasing bubbles. Fin is training in both agility and disc. He is an extremely athletic Border Collie. COVID slowed down his training, but he has now hit his first disc, agility, and fast cat trials. He is a stunning boy like Echo that is always picture perfect.

I have been following a breeder in Belgium with some very nice Border pups since last year. I originally saw some videos of Ru working and thought he was amazing, especially for such a young age. He is quick, stylish, and a natural on reading the stock. He has a natural trainability and biddability that I love in a Border Collie. Then I saw some amazing pups by Ru, in both herding and agility homes. Almost every dog I admire at shows are already closely related to mine, so seeing multiple from him really caught my eye, so I decided to get on a waiting list to get a pup out of him. When he went up for sale, I knew I wanted him. Importing Ru was the first time we have imported a dog (unless you include Canada), so it was a big jump for us. Ru is a trained sheepdog and has started trialing and doing amazing. I had never owned a competitive sheepdog of his scale before, so I had planned to have a handler for him. Unfortunately, due to Covid, Ru's herding career came to a standstill, but he is playing at sports until he can start trialing again. Ru LOVES water, even if it is below freezing outside. He is great with all the dogs he meets. He likes playing with toys, but would rather herd the other dogs while they retrieve toys. Ru has sired multiple pups throughout the world and has produced some amazing herding and sport dogs.

Fly is our pick puppy from our Roary X Ruari litter. At 8 years old, Kiera earned the right to get her own puppy. She is Kiera's first dog of her own to train. She is a super sweet girl with a beautiful structure. She is both food motivated and toy motivated, but will work for just attention as well. She is always excited to work, no matter what we ask. She loves every person she meets and is an expert level cuddler like her mom and dad. She has amazing style when herding the other dogs and is looking forward to a chance to see livestock without a fence. She is doing great at disc with Kiera and has some great scores already as well as a National Placement in the Junior division. Nothing distracts this girl with her laser focus. She is proving to have all the traits we had hoped for from this cross.

Mike is a male Border Collie. Carefully selected as a great representative of his breed, Lynette decided to make him part of their program. Lynette has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.
