Puppy Talk! (Part 1)
The secret is officially out—Season 2 is here, and we have puppies on the brain! After taking a little hiatus to focus on our dogs, we are back, re-energized, and kicking off a totally new chapter of the pod. If you’ve scrolled through Instagram lately, it feels like everyone is announcing a new addition, and we’ve officially joined the club! In this episode, Ali and Shay introduce Prim, the newest Border Collie joining Shay's pack, and dive into the "Borderline Obsessed" reality of picking out your next partner, teammate, and best friend.
Get ready for an honest, down-to-earth discussion about what goes into selecting a high-level sports prospect. Shay and Ali break down our take on evaluating litters, from meeting the parents to analyzing temperament and balancing future sports careers. Shay opens up about why she was specifically searching for an even-keeled, "bulletproof" puppy this time around, and how Prim’s brave personality compares to their past experiences raising softer dogs.
Whether you are currently surviving a breeder waitlist, hunting for your next agility superstar, or just living vicariously through the puppy madness, this episode is packed with real talk about embracing the beginner mindset, navigating the passionate Border Collie community, and finding joy in the messy grey areas of raising a pup.
HIGHLIGHTS:
The Puppy Blueprint: Analyzing temperament, meeting the parents, and balancing the expectations of a future sports career.
The Confidence Factor: Why Shay looked for an even-keeled, "bulletproof" puppy, and the contrast of raising a brave pup versus a softer dog.
Trusting Your Gut vs. The Experts: The hilarious preference difference between Shay and her husband, and why your intuition matters.
Embracing the Beginner Mindset: Normalizing the fear of failure, learning on the fly, and finding our place in the passionate Border Collie community.
Introducing Prim: Getting to know the newest addition to Shay's crew and what's next for her training journey.
