August 2008....Lobo's Three Pines Classic
The Classic was held at Steve and Anne Shope's beautiful Three Pines
Ranch in the high desert of New Mexico.
What a fun and exciting time...rain, floods, tornado warnings, thunder
storms, more rain, shows started and stopped, and more RAIN! Everyone got
wet but all had a fun time!

"Cody"
Cody, handled by his junior handler, Kate, won Best Veterans Sweeps and
onto Best In Show for the day! Not too bad for a "good 'ol Boy" of almost
10!

Kate & Story...the saga continues...
Story and Katie had their first herding lesson
with Cameron Leopold. They did so well that I had to share a
picture. Cameron Leopold is our friend that owns Dr. Johnny's
half brother!
Dr. Johnny did well too! He is going to be
awesome. He got bored in the small pen so we put him out in the big
field with his brother Ozzie. At first it was fun and games
chasing Ozzie and then it just clicked in and away he went, the
start of another little working dog!

We had an exciting and
surprising show weekend. Ranger went to one conformation
class and had one day at home to practice what he had
learned in class and went to his first show ever two days
later.
To our surprise, our boy
went winners dog for a 5 point major and on to BOW on
Saturday. On Sunday he went winners dog for another 5 point
major win! Not too bad for a beginner! |

Our Dr. Johnny went BOBp on Saturday with some very nice
competition.

Katie, showing her girl

February 2008...
We went to our first ASCA agility trial
in almost 2 years. Handlers, as well as dogs, were a little rusty!
Katie, with Cody, had 4 qualifying scores out of 6
runs finishing all three of her Novice Junior titles!
Ranger had 4 qualifying runs finishing
his Novice Standard title!
Bella finished her Open Jumpers title…she
competed in Elite Standard and had 4 clean runs but could not quite make the
faster Elite time. However, Bella did get her first Elite gamblers qualifying
run!
Overall, it was a fun weekend and
enlightened all of us where we need to practice to be ready for our next trial.
January 2008...
2008 started off with a 'Bang'! We went to our
first ASCA show of the year and came back with piles of ribbons. My
grand daughter, Kate, showed Cody in Open 9-12 Junior Handling. What a
'good ol' boy'! He knows his job so well. Katie won 1 Reserve Junior
Handler win and 3 Best Junior Handler wins over senior handlers. Go
Katie and Cody! Katie also showed our little Dixiana girl, Paris, in the puppy class. She took her class...a
class of 2! We wanted to get her feet 'wet' so when it comes her turn
to take the spot light, she will be ready. Hopefully this is a good
sign of better things to come in 2008!
Kate 11-1/2 and Cody 9-1/2 ... 9-12 Open Juniors
Heather showed Girlee for the first time in Open Black
bitches. The first day she went Reserve Winners bitch!
On Sunday, Girlee went Winners Bitch for a 3 point major
and in the Best of Breed
ring, she surprised everyone with a Best Opposite Sex win over special
bitches!!!
This brought her points up to a 4 point major win! Not too
bad for the first time together in the show ring.
September 16, 2007 - "Herd Testing Day"
Every Sunday morning we head to Sue Bradley's for herding lessons. This
day was special because we were going to herd test Story and Sizzle. They
have not been on stock since they were herd tested at 8 weeks on ducks. They
displayed tremendous natural herding instinct. A herding career is
definitely in their future! We also herd tested our newest member, 3 month
old, Paris. Fear - what is that! She was brave, showed a lot of brawn for a
girl so young. There was nothing that bothered her even though these animals
were 10 times her size. What a fun and exciting day!
Girlee, Ranger, and their mom, Bella
