Thandi was the pick of the litter, and remained on the farm with her breeder, to take her place as a sheepdog alongside her parents. However, she did not cope well with the number of dogs that she shared her home with, she was bullied and eventually Peter asked us to try and rehabilitate her at 2 years of age. By this time she had lost confidence in herself and humans, but slowly, with a lot of work, she regained condition and confidence. After a few months, my mother, who had recently lost her old dog, agreed to continue with the rehabilitation process, with amazing results. Thandi was soon competing in Obedience, qualifying to Novice and competing in Carting, which she absolutely loved as it gave her massive confidence. In fact, Thandi and her cart became a familiar sight around Bloemfontein, receiving a SPCA Honorary Membership for fund raising.
She did very well in the Breed ring as well, winning
