Huge SHAMELESS Herding BRAGS!

[ChRotties]

Ok, so this past weekend we had 4 herding trials (2 per day).

Saturday, "Lynyrd" had an evil duck in his started duck run, so Kim (my herding handler/trainer) stopped it, which was wise. His started sheep run, however, was AWESOME!!!

"Lynyrd" placed FIRST in Started Sheep "A" course with a score of 94.5 for the second leg of his HSAs title... AND ......took HIGH IN TRIAL!!!! I thought I would faint! This is my first HIT on ANYTHING in almost 17 yrs of being "in dogs"!

But wait, there's MORE!!!

Sunday, "Lynyrd" conquered the evil duckies and placed 3rd from the Started Duck "A" course class with a score of 94.5!!!! He had tied for 2nd place, but missed it by 15 seconds.

Then for the sheep trial, "Lynyrd" again had a FANTASTIC run! He placed 2nd with a score of 93.5 to FINISH his HSAs title!!!!

AND.....took RESERVE HIGH IN TRIAL!!!!!!

To say I"m on cloud 9 is an understatement!!!

His breeder is super excited as this is the first herding titled dog from her breeding program

Thanks, ya'll, for letting me brag a little!

Here is a link to his HIGH IN TRIAL picture with the judge and his trainer/handler extraordinaire, Kim

"Lynyrd" is now known as:
HIT/RHIT/Multi-Group Placing CH Bernkastel's CallMe Th' Breeze HSAs HT PT RN CGC !!!

We have more trials coming up July 4th weekend, hopefully he will finish his started "A" course duck title then, as he only needs one more leg!

You got it! This video was taken in April and is just a training session. I wanted to have video from the trial, but couldn't find anyone to do the camera and I have to stay away from the field cuz Lynyrd is sort of a Momma's boy! LOL

Thank you, everyone, for congrats!

I haven't come down from the "high" yet LOL

He is such a neat dog to live with.

Oh, and to explain for those that may not be familiar with herding jargon as it pertains to AKC:

There are three trial courses a dog may earn titles on ("A", "B", "C") and three levels of trial titles: Started (HS), Intermediate (HI), and Advanced (HX).

There are three types of stock: ducks, sheep and cattle.

Lynyrd earned his HSAs (herding started title, "A" course, sheep=denoted w/lowercase "s"). When he gets his third Q on started "A" course ducks, his title will be: HSAsd, which means he has TWO herding started titles on "A" course: one on sheep and one on ducks.

When a dog competes on "B" course and Qs it is a seperate title(s), for example: HSBsd (herding started, "B" course, sheep and ducks) Sooo, if Lynyrd were to compete and earn the above, he would have **4** herding trial titles: 2 on sheep and 2 on ducks.

Clear as mud, right? LOL
