Spur is a Sadi x Tuffy
pup, 2006 edition!
October 2009 - Our 1st ASCA Nationals! I didn't get in
on pre-trials, so I had no idea what Spur would do after being penned up for
over a week. Well, first off the little red devil got her first 'thanks' on
sheep and ducks. Even after a not-so-good take pen, she came through with the
rest of her run on cattle. Although I had to put the screws to her she made all
obstacles, four cows through the center, and came in second with a respectable
102 from Wally Butler. Add to that some great runs which resulted in
Spur being #4 Open Sheep and #7 Open Ducks!
Spur had a great year!!! ASCA Awards of
Merit on ducks and sheep!!!
September 2009 -
This last year we tested open trials with FEO. Then I decided to trial at the
Rustler's Roundup north of Spokane over Labor Day. She got all her open titles
in the first two trials. Out of the 15 runs all scores were over 100 except
two. Her personal best was a 120 on cattle from Judge Roy Sage. It was a
text book run. Her high score on sheep was a 115, and a 113 on ducks. She won
her first belt buckle, and some other beautiful prizes.
"Billie"
May 2009...Billie received the "Pepsi" award for best stockmanship at the CKC
trial - a prize is awarded each day, we won the first day.
It is awarded by a committee made up of the the Judge (Steve Waltenburg) and the
Stockhandlers! Her wonderful weekend included:
Saturday: HIT in arena sheep, arena cattle and stock dog sheep (Intermediate);
therefore High combined for the day, earning her HI (herding Intermediate title)
Judge Steve Waltenburg
Sunday: HIT for stockdog sheep Intermediate; NQ'd on arena sheep advanced
Monday: HIT stockdog sheep Intermediate (earning her SDI);
2nd place arena sheep advanced - so she has 1 leg out of 3 on her advanced!!
Previously...
ASCA trials held in Laidlaw, BC, July
2008...Billie had a great weekend, finishing all three of her ASCA
started titles and winning Most Promising Started Aussie!
Billie's great weekend included all but one first place wins...and

Billie are!

Molly x Ceilidh: 2002 puppy
It's hard to know what
to say about Chyne, because I could go on and on and on! She's Foss's best
"right hand man" around the farm,
his truck buddy, bed
buddy when they're away at trials, and she even helps keep his Wranglers up by
letting him wear either of the two
beautiful silver belt
buckles she won in 2006 and 2007 at the Three Rivers Working Australian Shepherd
Association (Oregon) trials.
Two years in a row
Chyne came home with the High Combined Open Trial Champion buckle!
