Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I started competing in dog sports about 15 years ago, starting with my Labradors in obedience. I’ve primarily competed in obedience and have earned 3 OTCH’s with my Labs. I’ve tried other sports as well and have titled my Labs in tracking, agility, and hunt tests. I’ve relatively new to Border Collies but have fallen completely in love with the breed. I don’t have to tell all of you how wonderful BCs are! My first BC, “Rhys,” is 3.5 years old. Rhys started competing in obedience last fall and he finished his CDX this spring. He’s coming along nicely and should be going for his UD this winter. I’ve enjoyed showing him in obedience but I have to say that my new passion is herding. We started training when Rhys was 10 months old and it’s completely addicting! I now have my own sheep and am trialing Rhys. He has points towards his AKC herding championship and is running in Pro Novice in the open field Border Collie trials. He’ll be ready to move up to Ranch this fall, I think. I’ve had so much fun training and trialing that I write about it in a column for Borderlines. Let’s see, what else would you all like to know…I’ve helped at two of our National Specialties by co-chairing Trophies. I have lots of club experience, I’m active in my local obedience club and have held various officer positions, served on the obedience trial committee for the past 10-12 years, etc. I’m also an AKC obedience judge. I think that’s about it! I look forward to serving BCSA as an officer for the next couple of years. Page Updated 10.22.2007 |
