Cheyenne is our 8 year old Blue Merle Australian Shepherd (born April 28, 2000). I picked Cheyenne because after spending time with the litter she seemed to have the best personality and she had gorgeous markings!!! Since I was now officially hooked on flyball, I was very anxious to see how Cheyenne would do in the sport. From the get go she was extremely ball motivated, she wanted nothing more then to get that ball fast and bring it back so you could throw it again, I was very please to see this. Cheyenne did very well in flyball class, the one problem we ran into was that Cheyenne seemed to have a stronger herding instinct then her sister Sasha. She would want to chase after the dog in the other lane that had a ball too. Through the wonderful support and ideas from my flyball teammates, we worked through this issue. She is generally a start dog because again she is so ball motivated she sometimes gets distracted if another dog is running at her with a ball in it’s mouth, we continue to work on this, but as a start dog she does fantastic. We have actually had two perfect starts!!! What I am most proud of with Cheyenne is that she has a natural swimmers turn off the box, which makes for a faster return. She has an extremely sweet demeanor, her goal in life it to please us (and chase balls!!) I can’t say enough about the joy our dogs and this sport has brought to our lives!!!
