Herding: Poppy

We took the pups for some instinct testing. Becky and John brought Willow, too. It was so much fun. All the pups did great, and it was interesting to see how they all worked a little differently.
Poppy went first. She's the calmest and most submissive of the puppies. She was very calm and kept looking at Dale and Janna, the trainer, for some encouragement. But it didn't take her long to discover she had some authority here. She moved the sheep so well, keeping them together, and instinctively bringing them back to the center of the ring to Dale. Way to go, Poppy!
