In September 2009 we finally got our own sheep so Vi's dream has come true and now she can train several times a week with the sheep. We really enjoy our training sessions and hope to start at competitions this year or next year.

Vi was retired from obedience and freestyle competitions and is now 9 years old. We still train together for these sports and she is still learning new moves, but she won't be competing anymore. Her last competition was at Crufts 2008. She was diagnosed with a bowel tumor in the end of 2007, which could not be completely removed. She doesn't have any symptoms at the moment of it returning but I do not want to put her in stressful situations, as I am afraid that might influence her health.

Violet is a special little girl who is so fun to work with and I hope we will be able to have loads of training sessions together this year.
