Well, I randomly made a choice to enter Fiddle into a show at 6.5 years when we were in the Illinois area. It was a show that traditionally didn’t have any cattle dog entries, and of course, the #3 cattle dog in the country shows up. Anyways, we had some really amazing judges at this … More Road Trip Leg 4: My Very 1st Owner Handled Group Placement
My Very First Bred By Champion! She looks super leggy in this picture… but I at least look good right? Pocono Kennel Club Macungie, PA Judge: Edy Dykstra-Blum September 15, 2022 WB: CLARJOS AND AE’S IF YOU’RE GONNA PLAY IN TEXAS – 3 Point Major
Mazikeen is very much a teenager. She is very keen to work, unafraid of biting both ends, and is settling in as a confident worker. However, we are still taking some fly bys, and struggling with the concept of teamwork yet. She struggles to let go of the stock and do what needs to be … More Black Prong Larry Painter Clinic – Mazikeen
The first week of December, we travelled to Florida to work with Larry Painter. Little miss Chunky did one run on cows, working on lifting them out of the corners, and changing the directions with me as a partner. She isn’t like Mazikeen, shes a thoughtful, deliberate girl who cares about me, and my opinions. … More Black Prong Larry Painter Clinic – Azula
Well, I have been talking about trialing a LONG TIME now. And, let me tell you, I found a LOT of training holes, including getting the stock off the fence. Our outrun/lift/fetch need the most work. And I, as a handler, kind of lost my crap. Lots of yelling, and shrieking. The second day, I … More November Herding Trial: Berryville, Virginia
Love is a many strangled thing… like working with a pushy teenage cattle dog brat! LOL. We are preparing for a herding trial in November, and I am really worried about her not lazering down her body language. The pictures were proof that we have a LOT more work to do.
Once again, some beautiful pictures from Sandy… Chunky in the round pen! We have quite a bit of work to do on stopping. Shes great with giving to my pressures, and I am really excited about her future. We also got some good work in the small cattle pen, once she did the sheep to … More Herding Fun Day: Chunky
There is a reason I love this bitch so very very much… We are still working on getting our flanks wider, and moving in straight lines with the stock. Inside flanks are improving, and we are becoming more successful in working much further away from the stock. She loves to work, I feel our teamwork … More Herding Fun Day: Fiddle
At the end of October/early November, we ran a herding fun day, of sorts, with Australian Cattle Dog people out at Keepstone Farm. My lovely friend Sandy is an amazing photographer, and took pictures. Ukulele is my special girl that I struggle with the most. She has AMAZING cover speed, and moves a lot like … More Herding Fun Day: Ukulele
