Faith is an extremely loving dog that has great potential for competition. Faith loves every person and animal that she meets. There isn’t a mean bone anywhere in her body. She is exactly what we were looking for to be the start of our Mini Aussie lines. She wins over every person that she meets and is always the favorite at play time. Faith is quick to learn and strives to please. She has proven to be a very intelligent girl, picking up anything we try with her with ease. Although she would prefer to cuddle all day, she shows great athletic ability and endurance when asked to work. She is not normally a barker, but when playing ball at home she barks the entire time. Faith LOVES to play frisbee and will play for hours. Faith LOVES the snow and cold weather. She rolls and plunges her face into as many snow banks as she can find. She prefers being inside when it is extremely hot. She does swim in the pool and will jump off the dock, but never seemed to love it compared to other activities. She prefers running round the edges of our pool herding her pack than actually swim. She gets in occasionally to cool off and then starts her circling again. Faith has trained many agility, flyball, and disc dog handlers here at First Harmony Farms. She will play with anyone and get them loving the sport. She was the perfect beginning of our love of aussies. Everyone will be compared to her for decades, but few will ever measure up in our eyes. Faith gave us plenty of daughters to start our amazing mini line: Desi, Molly, Honor, and Hasty. Thanks to Birchview Kennels for helping us get a perfect start with Mini Aussies.

Conformation
|
Faith has beautiful structure and earned her first Champion as a puppy with multiple BIS bred by wins. She would have done amazing if we had chosen to continue her show career. She has a perfect personality for the ring and loves to show.

Agility
|
Faith is a great agility partner, teaching Lynette how to work a rubber band dog. She always had plenty of speed, so needed more distance to go full out. After perfecting our distance as a team, Faith finally got her NATCH. She also trained many a new handler how to work an easy dog. She is always bouncy, always quick, and a blast to run.

Flyball
|
Faith was the height dog for our team for years. We saw a few 4s on her after reworking her box, but then she had a crash at a tournament and went to double stepping anytime we were on mats. Although this slowed her down quite a bit, she was a consistent player up until her retirement at 10 years old.

Disc
|
Faith LOVES playing frisbee and will play for hours. It is a shame she hadn’t been in a competitive frisbee home as it seems this was her natural calling. She didn't hit her first competition until she was 13 1/2, but she had a blast playing Frizgility with Levi. They even qualified for Nationals. Due to her age, she will only hit an occasional class at shows, but they are having fun.

Versatility
|
Faith is an extremely versatile aussie, excelling at whatever we take the time to do with her. She has done extremely well with the limited showing that we managed to do with her. She has made both us and her breeder extremely proud of her.

Herding
|
The first time on sheep, Faith showed amazing instinct and drive. Although she needed some work on calling off of the stock.

Rally
|
Faith is great at Rally. With all f her Conformation training, she does struggle with sitting. Other than that, she loves doing Rally and is successful since I can talk to her while doing it.

Dock Dog
|
She does swim in the pool and will jump off the dock, but never seemed to love it compared to other activities. As she gets older she seems to be jumping more so we let her start competing at 13 year old. She jumped 4-9 feet. She prefers running round the edges of our pool herding her pack than actually swim unless she thinks she can beat them to the ball jumping in from the side. She gets in occasionally to cool off and then starts her circling again.

Trick Dog
|
Faith is great at learning new tricks. Nothing scares her and she loves to do the aussie bounce, which helps with many of the tricks.
