ERIN'S PAGE
Short video of Erin and Trish working the ducks.
Erin is now 7 yrs old and has always had an interest in all animals. She had a great love for my old dog "Gypsy" and at 4 yrs old we allowed her to keep "Trish" as her own. She has trained and looked after Trish by herself, we did have to step in a couple of time when Trish was young and Erin & Trish where out around helping muster sheep but since she has been 5 yrs old she has handled things very well. Erin started to train Trish for agility when she was 5 yrs old, thanks to Mangawhai Dog training Club and now both of them compete, she is also running King. At 2 yrs old we let Trish have a litter of pups to Astra Cap, Claire is the new addition to Erin's pack and she is doing very well training her for Obedience and later on Agility. Erin picked the new family cat a few months after the old fella died so "Mitten" is now part of the household. Erin is a very lucky kid and each year has the opportunity to feed a lamb or 2 and also to keep them as most join up with the mob. Erin and Trish are doing very well in starters and Novice and it is getting very common for them to be in the placing's. Erin has qualified Trish AD this year. Erin and Trish have also for the first time, looked after a small mob of ewes lambing.
