Weekend Herding Trial Results

My dogs and I had a great weekend trialing at Alamar Farm in Van Alstyne, TX.  On Saturday, I wasn’t able to get Gorgeous in Advanced B course sheep as the trial was already full… such a bummer.  It was painful to watch not being able to participate.

Well both Handsome and Gorgeous were entered in Advanced A course sheep and both qualified… Gorgie with a 4th place.
 
Today Gorgeous and I got to run Advanced B course sheep and we qualified with a 2nd place out of 11 dogs!  Only two qualified as handlers were having difficulty shedding the sheep.  Gorgie and I got it on our first attempt… so proud!

Handsome and Gorgeous both qualified in Advanced A course sheep… Handsome with a 2nd place!!!  What a good boy!  Gorgie had a beautiful run until I got to the cross drive and downed her too late after the pen and lost them.  We missed the panels, so that knocked us way down.

Handsome’s weekend on ducks let me know that we need a weee bit more training before we enter in Advanced A course again.  Ducks sure do test your patience!

Below is a photo of my kids after they were finished on Saturday.
