The end of August came very quickly! My good friend and former "almost neighbor" Pam Arlitt came from Black Creek with her dog Sunny for a 10 day visit. We had a great visit here and worked our dogs lots getting in some last minute preparation for the CNASA National Specialty in Watrous, Saskatchewan. Pam and I went with Lill Roth-Lee another good friend and travel buddy, and the three of us had a very successful trial, and loads of good laughs!! :o) CKC herding trials allow you to start at whatever level you think your dog is ready for, so Pam and I went straight into Intermediate, and Lill and Tray jumped right to advanced. We trialed in both arena trials and stockdog trials. The stockdog trials were very much like a cross between the ASCA Ranch Trials, and Farm Trials. The arena trials were held in a beautiful rolling 200 x 400 arena, and were a good test for "trusting" your dog! I'm happy to say we were all sucessful!! with my dog Chili winning the Intermediate division.
