Day 3 (another chance)
.. Dare ran first and he had trouble with the fetch. They split back and he was busy sniffing so
he let them and had to go to the corner and pick them up. He brought
them up and around the cone and
we did a nice job on the y the z and the pen.
And then we had a mess taking them out of the pen. They tried to bolt across the arena to the
repen and Dare turned them back to me and back to 4 and they skimmed the cross
drive and I had to bring them back to 5 and repen. Even with that mess, he got an 84 and first
place.
Dually’s run in Intermediate
was not too bad until the pen and I had another mess taking them out of
the pen and trying to get to 4. They
bolted and didn’t want to come back. I
had to sandwich them between us at 5 to pull
them off the fence and get themback
across to 4 which we did and still didn’t’ get them thru the cross drive
panels but did get to 5 . He Q’d
and got 3rd place.
Dually had a nice ADVsheep run and Q’d but no placement.
Dare had a beautiful run going on. 2pts on the outurn lift and fetch. 2 on the
Y 1 on the z and 3 on the hold pen and
then taking them out of the pen he lost his friggin mind. I had him between me and the hold pen and I
asked him to walk and he looked at me out of the corner of his eye and then the
little bastard blew thru and yahooed on the cows. I said down and he didn’t so I ran him down
again and took him out. It was more than
that little yahoo that was going on. I kept trying to gain control and he just
kept getting higher and higher until I knew it was not going to get
pretty. I was so mad at him. He will be in isolation tonight but it’s too
late , the trial is over. He only needs
one lousy leg and Dually is going to get it before him.
Tomorrow I am going to take part in the cattle clinic with Steve Waltenburg. Not sure If I will work both dogs or just
one. It will depend on what he does and I wont’ screw Dually up but I will work
Dare because I can’t screw Dare up.
