Friends of ours have a Speedy (Darcoo Sage x Lokabe Leo) bitch pup available if anyone may be interested. Red/tan and just shy of 11 weeks old. She’s out of Lokabe Sage (Raimar Storm x Eveready Roy II). I have a sister and she’s a cracking pup - intelligent, confident and well-socialised. We’ve got no Speedy pups ‘brewing’ at the moment, so if you’re chasing one, send me a PM and I’ll pass on some more info.

Home found - you gotta be quick! 😅😂💜

Quick little proud breeder brag. Lokabe Rhythm (sister to our Dusty and daughter of my dear old Storm) just attained her Obedience Champion title. Woohoo! Almost all of our Lokabes go to working homes because they are pretty intense, but Vikki (Rhythm’s owner) will always be the exception. I love seeing her continue to succeed with both Rhythm and Blues (her other Lokabe) in agility, obedience, rally… It just shows the versatility of our dogs, and one day I hope to join Vikki at a trial or two with Indi, Rosie and others. Massive congratulations Vikki and Rhythm 🥳🥳🥳

The Australian Utility Stock Dog Society wish to thank Hypro Group Dog Food for sponsoring the 'Try-Out'/Training Day held last Saturday 4th July at COOTAMUNDRA NSW. 'Brawlin Springs' hosted the event. A breakfast and BBQ lunch was enjoyed by all. Many young handlers gained some excellent advise on working both sheep and cattle throughout the day.

The Australian Utility Stock Dog Society Inc. is holding something special on Saturday 4th July at Fred Rains, 'Brawlin Springs', COOTAMUNDRA NSW - see Flyer below!!

Fred organised an AUSDS trial on Brawlin Springs Cootamundra last weekend and it went extremely well. These trials require the dogs to compete in a yard, cattle and paddock trial (3 sheep in this instance), and are a really good test of a dog’s overall ability in all facets of farmwork. The location was excellent, as we had a clear view down the hill to watch the dogs work the paddock section, and everything else was close together. We were blessed with AMAZING weather and so it was a great way to spend the weekend.

Fred ran three dogs in the Level 2 and took our a trifecta, with Lokabe Tiger placing first, Lokabe Speedy placing second and underdog Lokabe Dusty II taking out third place.

Although during the organising of the trial I told Fred ‘never again’ (it was a LOT of work and he was pretty stressed bringing it all together), perhaps I will relent and we will host another in the future. The AUSDS continues to evolve and, we think, has an exciting future ahead of it.

Thanks so much to all the sponsors, judges, helpers and competitors, and to the Muttama Hall Committee for keeping us fed over the two days. It was a team effort across the weekend with everyone pitching in when needed, and we are incredibly grateful for that.

Well done also to Rod and Viv Cavanagh who have been running these trials for years and organised all the scoring and ribbons/trophies etc. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Pretty stoked with how Asher and I (Catherine) trialled today. It really felt like we were working as a team 💜💙💜
