I finally got to go to my friend Kathy’s house for a clinic with my favorite clinician! We worked some cows that are not super used to dogs working them, so we had to put a different type of pressure on them to hold them. I worked Mazikeen, Rory, and Chunky through two spots the … More Dave Viklund in Tazwell, TN!!!!!
After Morgantown, we brought the gang down to Doswell, VA for the first cluster. It was indeed a good cluster for the gang!

Thursday JUDGE: Mr. Stephen Dainard Sue: 1/W/BW/BP … More Doswell June Cluster #1
So, I had some time available and decided to head down to herd with Auntie Terri. We spent time on the water, building fundamentals of driving with Fiddle, Mazikeen, and Chunky.

And then the next two days, I worked Rory, Chunky, Mazikeen, and Fiddle interchangeably (depending on the exercises … More Jan Wesen – Upstate NY
One of the things that I really need to be successful is just having the time to work my dogs on stock, especially cattle. Getting security moving stock away from me, holding pressure and gathering the stock up the middle of the field. I had the Fiddle crew with me (Fiddle, Mazikeen, Chunky, Rory, Sue), … More Working at Flying Bucket Farm
