ASCA Titles: Started Ducks and Started Cattle

My treasured Boo-Boo came into my life sort of by accident, from the second Cordell x Fiddle litter, and won me over with the most wonderful, sparkling personality. Like Chunky, she picked up her first major at just over 6 months of age by going Best Opposite and Best of Winners over 11 specials at the National Dog Show. She also is the best cuddler. She is a bit on the softer side, and also a smaller girl, at only 35 lbs and 17″. She seems to want to drive stock as a default, and has quite a bit more patience than her sister Mazikeen for waiting and slowly pushing on stock, rather than just crashing in and gumming up the works!

We have travelled through many different states working all sorts of stock! I love her more than anything. She finished her HT on cattle at nationals in 2024. For the 2024 year, Rory finished in the Owner Handled Top 20, and got to participate in the 2025 nationals. She made her rally and herding debut at the 2025 Nationals at Purina Farms, where she qualified on Started Cattle, Novice Rally, and took 4th place in the Versatility Competition! I can’t wait to see what the future offers on this little red beast!
