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
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
So, I have been meaning to make it to Dixie Roads Farm to see Tim and Tommye Ann’s property in Dayton, TN for a LONG time. They are some of my favorite people on the face of the planet.

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
Sometimes, it is nice to have a breakthrough… I have been lucky to have some amazing instructors and mentors who are always willing to talk to me about herding. My current instructor, Cathy Hartley at Bear Run Farm, has been working with me, sometimes dragging me through the same thing over and over again. I … More Day 8 and 9: Larry Painter Clinic – January 8th-9th
