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.

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.
