IF YOU EVER HAVE A GOOD ONE, YOU'LL NEVER BE WITHOUT ONE.
Jiggs goes 2 for 2 with 1st place wins in the Open Sheepdog Trial at the Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo in Austin(2nd day) and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
There are 2 new sheriffs in town. The Southwest Cattledog Association, taking over most if not all of the cattledog activities in Texas and New Mexico and, the National Cattledog Association, doing the same, beginning April 1st, on the national level. I hope you will support these 2 new organizations whose efforts are strictly for the promotion and betterment of cattledog trials. You'll find links at the bottom of this page.

MITCH--NATIONAL CHAMPION OPEN CATTLEDOG

We just returned from the National Cattledog Finals in Redding, Iowa. After 2 go-rounds and a double lift finals, Mitch had a perfect score with the fastest time to be crowned National Champion Open Cattledog. Angie came in 5th in the final results. The trial started with the top 50 qualifiers in the United States. After 2 go-rounds, the field was narrowed to the top 21. The finals is a double lift so 2 outruns are judged and the course is run with 6 head instead of 3. Mitch drew really good cattle and took every command to lay down a perfect run a couple of minutes faster than Bill Reed and Ann of Tennessee. You can see all the scores by going to www.usbcha.com and clicking on the Cattledog Homepage. There will be a one hour special about the Cattledog Finals on RFD TV in September. It'll will be shown on September 5,6, and 10th.
