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

She wound up qualifying in Advanced Rally (and her stupid handler didn’t bring her feet together and … More ACDCA Nationals – Fiddle
