Wait until you see the photos we got today! The Facebook link should make it onto the Yahoo group in next 24hrs. Congrats for today. I'm on such high :)

HIC and a HT pass for the little blue fuzz girl.

I was talking to Sue (the judge) later and she said your girl worked beautifully :thumbsup: I didn't see her runs :(

A little brag from me today - Cole got his HIT from advanced A so now only needs 1 more first place to get his herding championship.

Congrats! Hope the last 1st place comes quickly, I don't think I could stand the nerves!

Someone told me they thought Cole had all the requirements for his herding championship so I have checked.

Cole will now be known as HCh Cole.

I really should pay more attention to his places :laugh:

We have access to 2 properties and 2 lots of stock. 1 lot get used for training more than the other because their owner does some private lessons.

in perth we have a few choices of stock, all owned by the same person.. but varieties of breeds of sheep and after a season of training on this lot of sheep we have they are fair from course trained.. they are almost as wild as the day we started on them.. its a great challenge to have sheep that dont know the course..

we have 2 courses and hopefully a third on the way.. all a massive variety of size..

We currently have 2 comp grounds. One of the grounds is the sheep's 'home' ground. I wouldn't say the sheep learn the course though. Not that we do trial run throughs much anymore. I haven't seen the obstacles set up for ages. My dog appears to have learnt the course though :laugh:

Torrential rain in Sydney :( I bet no herding this weekend.

Here is some footage of last weekend at Erskine Park. My youngster was hypo after having 2 days crate rest beforehand. Serious selective deafness :)

And this is her older half sister that I'm going to show and train towards as much as I can before motherhood calls. Lovely girl who is really nice to work with. I only see her once a week so it's a hurdle with everything being so new.

Does anyone have video of their dogs on cattle or ducks?
