June 14, 2019

Friday we drove 1300 km to Zarautz, Spain to run in the Gure Sheepdog trial 2019! On Saturday Bill ran in the morning and we timed out at the pen. He worked well but got so hot we took it easy.. 73 points. Charlie ran amazing and scored 90 points which gave him the 4th place on Saturday.

Sunday we ran 4 sheep and they took out the shed in the course. One marked sheep to single off. 
Charlie got a rerun as his sheep ran off when I just send him out. Again after his rerun he ran so well and we timed out on the single. Bill had to do a single as that is the coolest thing he likes to do! And we did! So cool!!

Overall score Charlie 7th and Bill 8th!!!no placement but we did win the best shed with Charlie and big prize money!

The trial itself was such a fairytale place! 😍On top of a cliff overlooking the bay of Zarautz. Tricky field with a mixed group of sheep. Sticky on your feet but fast when the dog moved. The organisation did an amazing job👏

Open class Trial Dirksland

February 01, 2019

We had such a great weekend at the Northernlake Shepherds Open class Trial close to home. I ran Charlie on Saturday as the sheep were so heavy to push, and if Charlie likes to do something it is to puch sheep. On Sunday we had better weather conditions so I ran Bill. He wasnt clean on the outrun and I think he gets all tense for goingso fast. But we kept on going and finished with a brilliant single. 

Winter competition DG Final!

January 18, 2019

Today was the final! Woow.. Every experience is one! The look back took a couple commands and I couldn't keep the line on the fetch specially with the 2nd group..

Qualification Trial Raar

November 16, 2018

This Sunday was our first qualifier with Bill. And it was a big one! Great big field with a lot of trees, Bill did an amazing outrun, we lifted a bit harsh but then we got the fetch in one straight line. When we were nearly at our drive gate where we lost sound and I made Bill cross. It was a good first experience...but we still have a long way to go to get where we need to be :).

Sunday I ran Bill first and he worked amazing! We messed up our Penwork and then timed out on the single. He became 7th. Charlie got the sheep under control and we timed out on the single too. But happy with our 73 points and 12th place of the 37 dogs.

Ladies Only 2018

November 02, 2018

We had the best weekend trialling at the Ladies Only 2018 in Belgium. Bill and Charlie ran the Open class and it was such a big and difficult field! Wow!
