Yoshi
Jedda’s Sunny Side Up
Yoshi at 10 weeks old!
Yoshi is my bred-by keeper out of the Star Wars litter (Willow x Bandit). He is fearless, confident, tons of bravado. He was the pick of the litter for stock work. I am keeping him back as a potential work and performance prospect. I like what I see so far in many ways. We will see how he develops!

Herding so far…
Yoshi on his first and second sheep exposure has been very keen, similar in style to his mother. Lots of power, lots of confidence, not a whole lot of thinking yet. He is very heady like his mother, but more responsive to handler pressure than his mother and kind to his stock like his daddy. He seems to have no fear and will walk right into the face of a stomping ram like he’s invincible. He gets the benefit of having a more experienced handler than his mother so I’m excited to see what we can do together :)
