Hi Suzanne!

This is easy!   Poggobonzi da Toscana, AX, OAJ, OF, JHD --sheltie, earned his CKC Herding Tested title this summer.

Quoting suzanne :

 

Barb Benner is working on getting everything put together for the SDTC Awards Banquet this coming January, and asked me to send her a list of the herding titles, HIT's, and RHIT's earned by SDTC members in 2009. I can barely remember what my own dogs have earned, much less what the rest of you all earned. So, each of you is responsible for e-mailing Barb at agilmals@juno.com with a list of herding titles earned by your dogs in the past year. Even if you have faithfully listed everything on the brag board at the club, it doesn't hurt to give her a nice typed out list, and makes her job easier.

hi all just got okay'ed so thought I'd post an into.  my family and I moved to
Republic last August.  My husband spends most of his time in Alaska, for work,
and the kids and I are trying to get a small farm off the ground.

Currently, we have sheep (tho they are loose and roaming the country-side) and
goats, we also plan on horses and hogs.  We have black mouth curs, which, if
you're unfamiliar with the breed, are an ol' homesteaders dog used for hunting
bear, cougar, hogs, protection, and herding.  We have used our dogs for herding,
though it's been easy since our stock know where home is.  The dogs aren't
trained but will run along after the animals until the ANIMALS decide they've
had enough and head home.  Both have been doing this since they were pups, but
very periodically.

However, with the new sheep, they had no clue so ended up being "herded" further
afield.

Anyhoo, my daughter and I have decided we need to get these dogs, and ourselves,
trained up.  I have a male and female bmc, but we also have 11 pups.  I've been
training the pair for SAR work and planned to keep a pup for the same. LOL, now
I'm thinking to keep another just for herd work (an excuse, since it's hard to
make up my mind about which ONE pup I want to keep!).

Anyhow, look forward to finding out about clinics or classes, maybe getting
together with other folks in the area.

Thanks,
Alison

Hi All,
     Have a need for a herding dog in the Republic, WA area to round about a
handful of wayward sheep. If anyone with a reliable working dog will be in the
area, please feel free to email me and I will put you in contact with the owner.

Thanks, Darla

Please take a few minutes to click on this link to help a private rescue
win a few dollars.  This deserving lady donates almost
everything---food, vet care, delivery, etc.  She is the one who
connected me with my first awesome Aussie.  She has also helped me place
quite a few Aussies in this area that have needed help.

house. I will trade a whole sheep dead or alive. Please help.

Sunday, November 1st, is our work day and herding meeting. (Check your clocks because daylight savings ends Saturday/Sunday night.)

 

Linda, Tanya, Laurie, Roman, Wayne and Tannis will meet at 9 am at Glen Tana in the barnyard to move the hay to Oneal's.

 

Everyone else should meet at Gail and Bob Oneal's at 9:30 am. They will have paint brushes and sealant to be painted on the panels. Also, they will organize a work party to move equipment and other items.

 

After the work is over, we will hold a quick meeting and then, those who want, go to a late lunch.

last dog at the open field,  we will return to the house for  pizza,
whistling instruction, and a dog video or two.  the cost of the
clinic is $85.00 per dog if you would like to bring two or more dogs

Tannis,
I would love to help in any way I can.
Kate

I purchased 3 two year old ewes this morning. They are Kahtadin X
Barbados. Beautiful smaller ewes. The fellow said if there were
others who want some in the spring he will use a Barb ran with his
Kahtadin ewes, otherwise he will use a Dorper to get more size for
meat harvest. If anyone is interested let me know soon.

Mary Ann

Thanks for the trial this weekend.  It was fun for me and my dog to get out into
a new venue.  We had a great time.  Thanks Gail for the use of your facilities.

I was moving my trailer around a bit tonight and reached down for "my"
gloves only they were MUCH nice than any I have.  I'm suspecting they
might belong to Rick from when moved my trailer?  Contact me privately
and we'll make arrangements to get them to you.
