Derek stumbles over himself in the ring at the

Luc likes to run very fast when chasing the sheep.
Hopefully, he'll learn he doesn't need to – and I can
get better pictures!
|
Go to mom, or chase the sheep? A tough decision to
make.
|
Herding clinic instructor Joe Kapelos has a talk
with Luc about staying with him when told to.
|
Luc intently watches the other dogs herd, often
offering his own commentary on their style and
ability.
|
Herding clinic organizer Barb Woods denies the
rumor that watering sheep poop in sawdust will grow
sheep.
|
The sheep decide it's safer by Derek than Libbye
& Luc
|
Luc waits patiently for the command to go get the
sheep.
|
Despite Luc's best efforts, the Pack still lost on
MNF.

|
Luc brings the sheep out of the corner, and the sheep try
to trip up Libbye.
|
Luc does his Border Collie impersonation by trying to
crouch while herding.
|
Luc enjoys his favorite pastime around the house –

Luc would like to know what's happening on your
side of the computer screen.

From left to right, Janet Boren and Rion, Linda Robey and
Hunter, Derek and Jean-Luc and Libbye Miller and Quazar. This
photo was taken at the Louisville Cluster in March, 1998,
where the boys did very well. And, yes, it was as cold out as
it looks.

Luc shows off his Cute Look™ while Kristina holds
him for a photo, also at the Louisville Cluster.
|
Luc chases Cowboy, Speck and Goatboy around the round pen
in an early herding lesson. Luc was awarded his HIC by Joe
Kapelos on November 14, 1997 at Nashville Dog Training Club's
Herding Clinic in Lebanon, Tennessee.
|
It seemed like a long winter without any shows, so our
elder statesman Zowie took Luc under his paw and gave him a
lesson in being cute enough to get let in the house.
|
Derek and Luc, left, are joined by Janet Boren and Rion,

A cute-as-can-be puppy arrives at our doorstep.
|
A pleasant fall evening to snuggle with a squirmy
puppy.
|
Isn't he the cutest puppy ever?
|
 |
More cute puppy pics. He doesn't carry his tail like
this, though, now.
|
 |
Tiny sleeping puppy.
|
Tail up, head up, proud as can be, Luc gets ready to go
home to his new owners.
|
Luc's mother Lyra shows that she could be in the ring at
this very moment if it weren't for this silly gaggle of
puppies who want to nurse.
|
An ultrasound of Lyra a month before the boys were
born.
