Phlash and I entered a Herding Trial at Brigands last weekend and he got his first herding title! Yay! He passed both of his tests. For those of you who know about these tests, he laid down an almost perfect test on Saturday, which was when he actually got his title. Sunday was just for more experience for moi, more than anything! When I walked up to the gate to begin on Saturday, the judge kindly asked me what breed of dog Phlash was! She went on to say that she had never seen one, let alone judged one and asked what style of herding could be expected? Boy did I have to think on that for a moment…….! I finally said that they were upright like an Aussie and that they really liked their sheep! (Translation…..Phlash likes his a little too much on occasion!) When we came out after the ‘perfect test’ she commented that she “guessed that he did not like his sheep too much today, because he was perfect” Gotta love that!
