BORDER COLLIE
NATIONAL SPECIALTY October 10-16, 2005 OBEDIENCE JUDGE DIANE ALLEN |
In
1973 I acquired my first purebred German Shepherd Dog and hit the
conformation and obedience rings in 1975 for the first time. Four
additional GSDs followed, with several UDs being completed, but never a
breed championship. 1980 found me looking for a breed that I could more
easily show in both rings, when I happened upon a Belgian Tervuren – it
was love at first sight. To date I have owned six Tervuren, achieving
multiple CH/OTCHs, BISSs, Group Placings, and some agility, herding and
freestyle titles thrown in to boot.
Back in Illinois, I taught obedience classes for a private school for over 20 years. I retired and moved to Yerington, Nevada in 2000 and built my own house and training facility, where I currently teach private lessons for those serious obedience competitors.
National Specialties are always great fun and I look forward to judging at the Border Collie Society of America. I wish all the exhibitors the best of luck!
