I can’t tell you how precious it is to have a marvelous, talented, and wonderful girl at the end of my leash! At the end of the year, the Australian Cattle Dog Club of America puts together a list of dogs, girl dogs, and breeders of most titles. And for the 2024 Calendar Year, I … More Australian Cattle Dog – Year End Awards
One of my favorite part of the ACD Nationals is that we have our test classes on cattle. So, little Mr. Sue was allowed to do his HT on cattle! I was so pleased with the effort he gave in the dying light! The judges wanted us to get him razzed up a bit, but … More ACDCA Nationals – Sue
Chunky made her debut in Intermediate Sheep and Cattle. She really gave me wonderful effort… and one errant sheep got a nose bite, which got us excused, and in cattle, we couldn’t quite get everything down, so we got NQs (which is better than being excused). I just can’t wait for where our future is … More ACDCA Nationals – Chunky
Tommy came along for the trip, and participated in Bred By – Adult in conformation at the national. He was… very excited to see our lovely judge, Nancy Simmons, and ended up taking 3rd place!

This was Fiddles first national, as she was on maternity leave last year! We decided to enter versatility, which required a Qualifying score in herding, another sport (nosework, tracking, agility, obedience, or rally), and participate in versatility conformation. She wound up qualifying in Advanced Rally (and her stupid handler didn’t bring her feet together and … More ACDCA Nationals – Fiddle
This event was one for the memory books! This year, they added the top 5 performance participants to the venue as well.

We put … More ACDCA Nationals – Top 20

I am super proud of Mazikeen for making the Top 10 again (for the 3rd year in a row), despite a limited showing for this past year! We couldn’t go to Orlando, but she is a very wonderful, and giving partner, and I wouldn’t trade her for anything!
