About Raven

Raven was from Brighton’s first litter, born in 2001. She earned an advanced Herding Ranch Dog title from AHBA (HRD IIIs) as well as her CGC from AKC (“Canine Good Citizen”). Raven was a calm, quiet worker who kept her stock settled. She was agile and athletic, calm and biddable, and exceptionally smart — she was a thinking dog. Raven was serious, devoted, and kind, an “old soul”.  She was a great companion.

Raven was OFA Excellent, with PennHIP DI = 0.33/ 0.38. She had a normal CERF evaluation of her eyes. DNA tests for MDR-1 and Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) were both clear (non-carrier). She had a medium sized, lithe, athletic build. Raven was a wonderful mother to her puppies; she retired from breeding after producing three beautiful litters.  In addition to her daughter Belle, who we kept, Raven’s legacy lives on through her offspring went on to become breeding dogs:  Maplebrook Farm’s Roxie, Kimball’s Jet Peaslee, Charm Peaslee Mayers, Shepherd’s Way Mace, Sweet LaMint of Shepherd’s Way, Gracie Mae of Shepherd’s Way, and Shepherd’s Way Marlow.
