I will share some National memories. I went to the first National held in Perry, Georgia. I went to help with stock handling for the first National Herding Trial. I was walking from the main building back to the barn area when I spotted a big, black and red dog being walked by a familiar handler. He had a gorgeous head, with the tip of his right ear notched, and these red/gold eyes in a black face. I said his name, and went to one knee. He wagged his tail, and pulled his handler to me, and put his head in my arms. He knew someone who loved him, and responded. What a guy! ( GV Quik) At that same National I met, and had hands on Nancy Harper's Lothario, and saw one of his daughters who stole my heart herding sheep, Ch. Cardinal Sin O Firethorn, and it was the first year that the Stallion named Uzi went Grand Victor.I remember watching the Herding Victor, Dussel working his sheep with his head at a weird angle due to a prior stroke, and doing it while his handler stood in one spot guiding him by whistle alone.. Priceless memory My favorite National. Hope others share their memories of Nationals. Love reading them.
