Hope came to us as a started herding dog. Hope was born on May 19th, 1999.

She looks very simular to her mother, XP Sadie. Hope comes from a line of talented dogs; her father XP Skeet is a dual Champion in both AKC Herding and AKC Conformation and her mother XP Sadie is a AKC Herding Champion. Hope is registered with both the AKC and ABC.

Hope is a classicly marked tri, with the exception of her freckles. She is a smaller female at about 19 inches tall and thirty-five pounds.

Hope's last litter of pups were born in September 2007 and she has been retired from breeding. She is actively competing in AKC and AHBA herding with her new owner Kate Kravits. Kate and Hope live nearby in Southern California and take herding lessons here at the ranch with Robin Elliott.
