Eastern Herding Trial -- September 2011

Taylor received his HT (Herding Tested) title at the CCA Eastern Regional Herding Trial under judges Deb and Roy Johnson,  Sabrina passed the Herding Instinct Test.  Harry got one leg of the Instinct test but unfortunatley he had an off day on Sunday and was not able to pass.  He is not particulary fond of the sheep but he loves the ducks. 

The Northern Virginia Collie Club provided the food for the trial and held a 50/50 raffle.

Another point for Taylor

Taylor Wins at West Friendship shows

Taylor picked up 3 points this past weekend at the West Friendship shows.  He was WD in 2/4 shows and BOB on Monday.  Monday he needed the cross over points in order to win since he was the only dog.  Judge Dorothy Christiansen had no trouble awarding him the point. 
Sabrina came close to picking up her first point as the judge had a hard time deciding between the 2 girls.  She said they both have virtues and faults. 

Sabrina wins at Chesapeake Collie Club Match

Blizzard 2010

It's been quite a week. We had over 2 ft of snow probably closer to 3 ft. I hope we don't see a winter like this for a long time.

Winter is my least favorite season.

This is a picture from my deck.
