If making payment by check, the process will be delayed approximately two weeks to ensure the check clears the bank. |

And even more fun to share the weekend with a friend!
My friend Coleen and her Miniature American Shepherd Ozzie!
This is what she wrote of her wonderful weekend!! Tru and Ozzie are best of friends!
Coleen/Ozzie and submitted by Donna
"What a phenomenal weekend we had in Denver but so nice to be home....sweet home....Final tally for the weekend was 3 new titles, EX Stnd, EX JWW & Open Fast.
Very proud of the little red man! He handled the stress of the crowd, rings, and dogs very well for the nervous nelly that he is :-). Today I could tell he was a bit distracted and aware of his surroundings but refocused and Q'd. Donna and I decided it was better to scratch our last runs and hit the road for home since everyone's energy was spent....
Thank you Donna for driving and inviting us to tag along as I felt much more at ease, and of course to hang out with good people is what is all about..." |

Heading to our 3rd agility show this weekend!

Important Note:
According to the Records Manager for Entries, Betty Nightingale at ext 3585: "There are no Champions in the FSS or Misc class. The dogs can earn a CM.
People should not be listing CH as in Champion in front of the dog's entries for AKC shows" |
I think that the Working Aussie Source is one of the best locations on the net to find herding trials and clinics!
The opening page is for ASCA Trials but be sure and click on the Other Calendars and the Regional Calendars and other Events of Interest! |
|
AKC HERDING TRIALS!
The Miniature American Shepherd is eligible to compete immediately in AKC Herding Trials! As soon as you receive your AKC/FSS number you can enter an AKC Herding Trial.
Find AKC Herding Trials here!
If you have earned an AKC Herding Title please let me know,
Now that we are eligible to compete in AKC Herding Trials, we want to acknowledge those dogs who are out there earning titles and legs towards titles. |
|
Let's have some fun and gather several photos and videos of our dogs herding!!
Send to me and I will place them in a future Tuesday Talk and maybe we can start a photo gallery of minis herding!
Let's do it right away!!
