On March 17th 1996, the most important dog in my life was born. He was an accident. My Belgian Sheepdog Graf accidentally bred my Australian Shepherd Indy! I was horrified, but 63 days later Mr was born.  Felicia Patterson and I appropriately named him. I miss him everyday, he was my best helper, companion, and the amount of dogs he helped train and how he influenced me was remarkable. The biggest thing that I was taught by Mr is that there are no accidents, he came into my life for a reason and proved that we have to trust what is given to us, A higher purpose does exist. I miss him everyday but the journey was above and beyond anything I could ever dream of. Happy St. Blue Dog day everyone ~ Sandy Moore and Mr

I cannot thank Sandy enough for her LOVE & PATIENCE in helping PAL reach his sheep herding potential. He was an older dog with pressure issues when they met, but with both of them being willing & able the goals were met in celebration. Thank you Sandy from the bottom of My Heart - Carol Colavecchio.

As a young dog, Brady earned his HT and PT with his handler and trainer Carol Colavecchio.  Brady came to Sheepcamp and earned his HSAs, HIAs, and, at 10 years of age, his HXAs.  Currently Brady is working toward his HXAMs while learning to herd ducks.  A sincere thank you to Carol who recognized Brady's herding ability and to whom I acknowledge for him earning his first two herding titles, and to Terri and Sandy for their expert training and handling of Brady who has grown to be the wonderful herding dog that he is.
