Ron and I got a laugh out of this picture we took at the trial field one night when we were sitting around the campfire!
Very few were camped; we had ample space to ourselves!
Nice area to walk dogs however it was covered in goat heads.. The smart dogs stayed on the road and in the alfalfa.. The "others" acted as if though they had just stepped in a mine field! Daddy to the rescue!
The field was stunning
A 420 yard outrun nice and straight forward.. Only to meet up with the fine wool lambs that took a look at the pesky k9 and said "who me?" You want to go? Naaa I think we will have a staring contest!
The lambs were tricky, fun, and even! Haven't been to a trial that was this fun in a long time!
Ron ran his first open! Made a great job of it on sheep he had never worked before! His comment was "I like open!"
The young dogs had their go at the sheep Sunday! Suede ran a good run for 2nd I was beaming as we have worked on anger management, and he never once lost his temper! The sheep really liked him!
Poncho's lack of experience showed but at 2 that's fine! He had a nice bite at the drive gate, but it frazzled him and he took a few wrong flanks on the cross drive so I went out and helped him.. Retired.
We are on the last 99 miles of a 1500 mile round trip! Every mile was worth it! We had a great time and we are still enjoying
Plan B!
