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
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
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.

Because we had to push on the cattle so hard, she didn’t really scale her body posture down to work … More Road Trip Post #3: Fiddle’s AHBA – HTAD Level 1
So, the second leg of our road trip brought us up to Flying Bucket Farm, in Hemlock, NY. This was a cattle only trial, and we did an AHBA HTAD Level 1 – cattle run. It was a tough course, as only two people qualified. We ended up winning High in Trial, finishing our Level … More 3 Week Road Trip Leg 2: Fiddle’s High in Trial
The month of August consisted of several herding lessons and practice, as well as the return of Fiddle to the herding arena! Nothing excited me more. She loves to drive so very much, so we need to get her back into gathering! We have been working SO HARD on calm, quiet thinking, and I really … More More Herding and Action Shots
January 23, 2019 Today’s Participants: Fiddle and Uke Sometimes, things don’t quite go as planned… I love my little blue dog… but sometimes, she is SO CONVINCED she is right, that she forgets to listen! Hahaha…. Gotta love my little toddler. Anyways, we set four of these platforms in each corner of the room. At … More Day 11 – 100 Days of Dog Training – A… Not So Great Day
