No ducks for Chyne this year...she completed her ASCA ATDd in Oregon in May 2007!  So she got to relax and enjoy the beautiful July sunshine!

Sheepies??? Where's the sheepies?

     
Ok girls, we ARE going to do this my way...
  
we can do it nice and easy like, or I can step up the "persuasion"...
  
ok so now we play hardball...but you WILL move!!!

and eventually they did get the lesson learned...unfortunately it was a good 'sheep training session' and not a qualifying run as they ran out of time!

The next day it was a totally different group of sheep with a totally different attitude...
  
COOL! Different sheep...these ones must have talked with the others and knew Chyne wouldn't take any sassin'! :-)

We got'em!!!

Then there was cows...

COWS? COOL!

        
The Corriente steers started right off challenging Chyne...but after a few well placed nose nips...

  
they came around to her way of thinkin'....at least for a little while!

     
till they decided they'd rather go the other way, but Chyne had a different direction in mind and persuaded them around to her way of thinking...

  
once again, Aussie perseverance & natural ability won!

"Now you've got it boys...nice and steady, now git along little doggies!"

As always, at the end of the run

she hears a "Good Dog, Chyne, thanks for the help"
