The yards are nearly set, and the pressure’s building.
This is what it’s all about.

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while, but better late than never.

I’m extremely proud of what the dogs achieved last year, particularly over the final months of the trialling season. Slim has truly proven himself as a versatile and consistent dog, and I’m incredibly proud of his performances. The entire team continues to give their best, both at work and on the farm, and it’s rewarding to see that effort reflected in our results.

I’m very grateful for the people around me who provide constant support and make this sport as enjoyable as it is. A special thank you to CopRice Working Dog Food for their ongoing support — it means the world to be supported by a product I believe in.

Looking forward to what 2026 has in store.
