About Flynt
This little girl has been a lovely addition to our family and quickly become my go-to dog for getting all farm chores done. Mature from a young age, she takes all her jobs seriously, whether that's moving livestock or going full blast on an agility course! Her work ethic is like no other dog I've owned before, her highest reward is getting to do the work she loves. She is fantastic with people and loves everyone, especially children! With dogs she takes some time initially to warm up to new friends, but once she knows them, she melts and loves to see her pup friends and is a great playmate!
​
In agility her top priority is speed! She has a lovely jumping style, and has been a pleasure to train. While her style is lovely, she often opts for speed over that style and keeping bars up is something she has had to learn to value. She is highly motivated by toys and will try her heart out! She just started her agility trial career in the summer of '22 and is learning how to deal with the amped atmosphere while running in a fast paced competition. I'm excited for how we are clicking as a team!
​
Herding is Flynt's number one favorite thing to do! She has a natural square flank and is a great first stockdog for a novice handler. Before her first birthday she competed in her (and her handler's) first ever sheepdog trial at the Novice-Novice level and earned a first place, after just two months of training at home! These past 2 years has brought us to many trials around the US, winning and placing at multiple events, and earning Overall Novice-Novice Winner at the Bluegrass Classic and now all the way up to Placing well in several Open level USBCHA Trials! She is consist and biddable, and as her handler I am trying hard to keep up with her talent. Her weakness can be her eye, as she tends to get sticky if we don't practice fluidity, but she takes correction well and wants to be right.
