This blog was a labour of love. Please visit the new blog http://blackthornworkingdogs.blogspot.com

My name is Donna Brinkworth. Four years ago I moved to Alberta from Northwestern Ontario. I recently completed the requirements to be a CKC tracking judge for TD and TDX and will now work on becoming an urban tracking judge, as it is one of my passions. I've also become involved in the sport of Schutzhund as a member of the Calgary Schutzhund Club, and my boy Caden is showing a lot of promise in this exciting sport. All I need is some land and sheep for the Border Collies to be completely happy in Alberta, and we are working on that! This blog honours tracking, herding and life with the dogs who are my teachers and who bring so much joy into my life. It started out as a training blog for my tracking students. You can check those archives, back in 2005. Over time I have used this blog to journal my own training, share information, and most recently discuss my personal journey since moving here.

This blog may have come to an end, but I hope you will still find good information in the posts from over many years. Thank you for visiting, and enjoy your journey!

Lunch Hour Walk

It was so warm yesterday I threw River and Ted in the car, and took them to the college for an hour-long walk at lunch hour! We had so much fun, it was hard to go back to work! The trails just south of the college remind me of the trails back home, because there are lots of trees and even a little creek.



Run! Ted runs like the wind when I call him. River is still doing great... she will be 11 in March. But puts on a great show running at the beginning of the walk. Towards the end, she strategically places herself, and leaps on Ted as he goes by. Poor Ted! German Shepherds have their own idea of fun - it's like a culture clash!
