National USBCHA Sheepdog Finals 2012
Went down to the USBCHA National Sheepdog trial in September of 2012. We even hosted a dog and handler getting passes into the coveted tent area where many of the handles viewed the event. We were in such a hurry to see these handlers which someday hope to compete against so we hurried to the area each time we arrived. We kept forgetting the camera in the car and this was the only picture of the whole trip. Nice weather cool evenings warm days with a light wind. Next time we kept telling ourselves we will get more pictures.

Lines go back to Scott Mayfield's 2003 Cattle dog Finals Nursery Reserve Champion Dog Buck, plus this pistol of a dog has Odie, Griz, and Hank in her breeding. She is turning out to be a dream to train. Calm, cool, and carries a big stick command of the livestock. Nothing so far as gotten the best of May.
