Today I went herding! The Border Collie Club of Los Angeles was holding it's spring trial. They had 2 trials---a sheep trial and a combined cattle/geese trial ("A" cattle, "A" geese, and "B" geese). I entered Juno in the Cattle//geese tr...ial to try TWO new somethings: Course "B" geese, and course "A" cattle. Juno had never before been on cattle. We had a brief intro session last Wed, and boom---into trial! Well, I'm happy to report that Juno gave me fantastic runs on BOTH the geese and the cattle, although I'm especially happy about his cattle run and he visibly improved throughout his run as he learned how to deal with the cattle! I'm especially happy to report that from the 25+ dogs in this trial, Juno emerged HIGH IN TRIAL!!! And of course he got the "High Scoring 'other breed" award as well! LOL Did I mention this was a BORDER COLLIE trial? And Juno was the lone GSD there with only a couple of ACD's to intersperse with all the border collies....
