Dunnigan Hills Sheepdog Trial

Yesterday, Gloria and I went to Zamora, CA to attend Bill Berhow's trial. Sorry to say that I did not take any pictures. It was gorgeous day and a little on the warm side. I love the trial and the green rolling hills. Tess had a wonderful run. We left before the end of the trial so, I don't know the results. I think Tess finished in the top 10 but I am not sure, I guess we will have to wait for the results to be published.

It was nice going to a trial with a friend. I have always gone by myself so, it was a treat for me.

Coop went home to his new owner. I am sad to have to sell him but, I am thrilled with his new home. Erin is wonderful and she loves him already and that made it a little bit easier.

Coop is coming home

On Sunday I am going to go pick Coop up. I am looking forward to it. I have missed my boy.

Coop videos

Here are some new (old) videos of Coop's training progress. I have not been very good about getting them posted.

I need to learn how to turn off the microphone on my video camera.

Here are some photos that Bonnie Block shot of Tess at the last trial.

July Update

Over the 4th, Tess and I ran at the Sheep Thrillz SDT in Scio, OR. We finished 9th both days and made it to our 1st double lift finals. However, I could not get Tess to look back for the second set of sheep so, we had to retire. Darn it.

Brie went to her new home at Scio. I hope all is well on that front.

I have a new puppy coming from Scotland. I think she should be here next week but, I am not sure yet.

In August, we will be going up to Camas, WA to the Lacamas trial. So far 79 dogs are entered. It should be fun.

Stay cool and have a great rest of the summer.
