He earned 9 out of 9 qualifing runs and won (2) 1st, (3) 2nd and a 3rd place. On Friday and Saturday he went High Score on Geese and High in Trial on Geese and High Combined on all stock. On Sunday he went High Score on Sheep and High in Trial on Sheep and High Combined on all stock. These wins were for the other breeds competing with the Aussies at their trial.

Barb s Nell PT, FDC, CGC,TKI, SIN, SCN Scent Work Information Update We have been approved to hold three scent work trials in June 2019.

Thanks to the following BCCAZ members who are making this trial possible: Barb Gates, Aleks Woodwroffe and Myra Judd!
Bev Murray s young Scout is off to a great start at his FIRST Herding Trial with a 1st Place Started Sheep! Older brother Evan earned HIT Sheep and HIT Cattle Other Breed. Bev shared the following about Day 2: Scout placed 2nd in Started Sheep (ASCA), that's Scout's FIRST title of MANY to come! Thank you judges Russ Ford & Brad Warren. And a special thanks to Scout's teammate extraordinaire (trainer), Dawna Sims! Scout isn't so sure he likes this trialing business though. Yesterday he only spent 1:22 in the arena, today 1:23. He kept looking at the set out gate for more sheep to come. NADA! How disappointing... But he has 2 more days of competition. He loves to work much like his brother, Evan. PLEASE send me your dog s pictures and accomplishments for the newsletter and website! Share your wonderful dogs with fellow members! (aeasley2@cox.net)
