Chance’s owner Kathleen met us in Cortez, CO for three days of dog shows put on by the Durango Kennel Club, May 21-23.  The first day there was no class competition, the second day he got very excited by all the other dogs in the ring and was being silly, but by Sunday he had his act together and showed beautifully.  He was awarded Best of Winners for his first point, handled by myself.  We think Chance is just gorgeous, and will hopefully pick up a few more points during his stay with us.

Chance earned two new ASCA titles this past weekend, his Started Trial Dog on ducks, and his Open Trial Dog on sheep.  Everytime we turn around this boy has a new herding title!  Way to go Kathleen and Chance!  Hopefully we will be bragging on some conformation wins for this boy in the next month.

On April 24th and 25th, I had the pleasure of attending the All-Breed Herding Trial put on by my own Buckhorn Valley Kennel Club.  The most wonderful part of the trial was watching Charley win 1st place and Reserve High in Trial on the Started A Course, with a score of 93.  Charley’s previous owners, the Grabow’s, were in attendance, and couldn’t remember whether or not he had earned two legs in AKC or AHBA at a previous trial.   Therefore, his new owner/handler, Linda, thought she had earned the first two legs of his title, when actually she had finished his title and got a bumper leg!  Congratulations to Linda and Charley!
