Peg and her retirement
My Peg is 11, an age around which working sheepdogs will be retired from competition. I keep watching for signs that it is time to retire Peg; I don't want her being outrun or defeated by the sheep. ...

Congratulations! Goes to show age is just a number. The working relationship between dog and handler is very complex, and difficult to understand if you haven't walked that path in person...but they do tell you when they have had enough.
The corgi herding community had a sad week....one of the greats of the breed, a DC (dual champion, both conformation and herding) crossed the Bridge at the age of 14 1/2. I count myself lucky to have seen this dog (and her litter brother, also a DC) run many times, including several runs at 11+ years of age.
