Well, I was interested, am a "new blood" however feel, especially after reading everyone else's bio, that I do not have enough accomplishments to run. What I had was common sense, and a deep love for the preservation of the breed. I have shown my dog at the National in the Amateur Owner Handler class, I do show in the all breeds at the moment myself as I love to show, whelped one litter, and will be starting herding lesson on 4 of my 5 dogs.. A far cry from the bios out there. I am supportive of my clubs by entering and donate lots of prizes to the clubs.
