Dacksville Boarding Kennels

Dacksville Boarding Kennel

It's been a busy summer, possibly our busiest summer ever. Josie has been busy as well.

Josie got her final leg in the open sheep class and picked up her first leg in ducks, she almost got her first leg in cattle missing by two points, really amazing considering it was her first encounter with cattle.

We attended a Bob Vest clinic and included a Simon Leaning Clinic as well.
I must stress that should you have the opportunity to attend a Simon Leaning Clinic, do so , it was the best I have ever been to. His presentation was mind boggling.

We have several clips of Josie on "you tube", here's a link to the latest ones.

The hard work and training is paying off, Josie and Brenda are now trialing and enjoying themselves!

Ducks ~ Josie placed second as well as getting "High Score" in Started Ducks to complete her ASCA Started Ducks title!

Josie & Brenda also had lots of fun working sheep and completed her Started Sheep title with very respectable scores of 83 & 78!

Josie & Brenda had a great time when they started training to enhance Josie's inborn natural ability to work sheep! Obviously it paid off, the judges at her first trials commented that Josie is "a very intense dog"!

Way to go Brenda & Josie!!!
