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!

What goes around comes around - Jet and Ben as puppies



When Jet arrived in late 2005 she immediately took to Thorn because Jenny Glen had a German Shepherd at the time - so Thorn was familiar to Jet. She would climb over him and slide down his side... I wish I had a picture of that. Thorn was the sweetest, most gentle dog and he and Jet were great friends (Thorn died on Christmas Day, 2007). Jet is about 8 weeks old here.

So, now, Jet has a puppy... and he is going to be 6 weeks old in two days. Guess what he is doing?

Yes, you guessed right! Ben is climbing over Jet and sliding down her side! I had to catch a picture.
I just love the look of pure joy on his face.

So far, Ben reminds me of Ted, his sire, through and through. This was the first time I saw a glimmer of momma...
