Mackie completed his Herding Started A Course Duck title today at the Australian Shepherd Club of Victoria trial. He got two lovely passes, both 96/100. He only needed one to qualify, so the second was to prove it wasn’t a fluke.

Mackie completed his Herding Novice A Course Sheep title at the Victorian Herding Association trial in Chiltern. He then nabbed another pass on some very tricky and annoyed sheep stuck. He went slowly and patiently and we passed with 20 secs to spare on the clock – phew! At times it felt like a Mexican standoff, but he sure proved that he can hold his ground in a staring competition to get results.

Big weekend up at Chiltern with the Victorian Herding Association trial. Mackie had six runs all up on two different courses, a couple of retirements, but he tried his heart out in every run. He ended up with a lovely Novice A Course Sheep pass and first place, and three nice Started B Course passes and another first place for one of those.
