Murphy came to Cailleach in the late spring of 2000.

If you were wondering how versatile we are at Cailleach, Chili is proof that we keep more than herding dogs. A Bloodhound is probably as far as you can get from an Aussie in terms of drive, devotion, and everything that makes and Aussie so desirable. However, Chili is the best Bloodhound that Sarah has ever met, and the two have a very special bond. Especially when he sits on her and drools in her hair.

Tristan is a Pyrenean Shepherd, an ancient breed which may have been one of the progenitors of the Australian Shepherd. He is an interesting little dog and has made me a better trainer!

He has progressed incredibly from where he was when I got him at 14 months of age. I have hopes that we will someday enter an obedience ring and we owe that possibility in large part to Kayce Cover and her SATS training system.
