Looking into Herding Training

I went to American Herding Breed Association website, which allows mixed breeds to compete, to look for a trainer. I found the closest trainer in Lodi. They also show under ASCA and other groups. They have a ranch and breed and show Aussies and Border Collies. I emailed them and got a response back that they do private lessons and classes. She said they have a Corgi/Aussie mix also. I thought that was interesting. Once I finish my taxes and turn them in, I will call her for lessons.

Dino Competes in Mixed Breed National Specialty!

Mixed Breed National Specialty

October 27, 2007

Corneilus, OR

We drove to the Specialty in Cornelius Oregon just south of Portland. The first night we stayed in a campsite and practically froze. The next night I was able to stay in Cindy's camper on her property. It was much better and warmer. I was also able to look at all the pictures I took that day and recharge my batteries.

In Conformation both days Dino took first place in his class and then took Point dog both days. On Saturday he got fourth place in the Best Mixed category. On Sunday, he got third! I was totally thrilled. I couldn't believe it. The ribbons were huge!
