Hooked On Working Dogs

03/08/2025

The juvenile HoH pack had a memorable weekend catching up with mates and friending new ones at the Australian Utility Championship .
Although our trailing had some highs & lows - J failing to fire & Sting igniting, putting two scores on the board (one in fairly ordinary weather conditions ⛈️).
Nevertheless, how can you be disappointed when watching dogs be dogs in this vid!!

Special mention to the Motley Family for putting up with me for another year and Nat for holding everything down at home in miserable conditions..

See you again next year Nyngan!!

🐕 Let’s get behind promoting true utility/all round types 🐑 🐐 🐮

Enter Level 1 on Saturday 16th and enjoy the experience with your dogs - it is fairly 'low key'. Level 2 on Sunday 17th is more of a rewarding challenge.

This is Sly’s second exposure to a scent wheel (first was last night for 5mins). She is really doggy so I let out all of my stock dogs and a Mal (Soda) to run around the perimeter of the training facility creating a big distraction, music howling, all of the kennels behind the walls are full and the wind is blowing proper this morning 💨

Very proud of this home bred dog knowing that she would have made a cracking stock dog with her forward moving mental strength, attitude & style 👌

Hooked on Sly, one of our young detection dogs coming along in leaps and bounds 🥎 🥎

💥 Spoiler alert, J fires again!! 💥

We had a great few days competing & judging at the Hawkesbury Utility Trial.
Both dogs working well, Sting finishing 6th in his second utility trial, missing the Top 5 Novice Final by 2 points.
J went in leading and finished equal 2nd (77 + 48 =125)

J then backed up with a great run in the Top 11 Open Final finishing 3rd (42 + 85 =127)

At still only 2 & 3 Years Old, I honestly believe both of these dogs will mature into handy “All-Rounders”..

Thanks to the HSDTC for a great trial and atmosphere (including amazing lunches), all of the sponsors, judges and competitors (especially those that travelled to attend).

Big shout out to Hypro Group/Hypro Premium for keeping our dogs in top healthy shape & RuffTRACK for keeping us charged with fantastic coffee all weekend!!

Not so little Raven with the bone density of a concrete block is now 12 weeks old. Here we are developing ball drive while introducing her to environmental factors like the excavator bashing around in the background in an environment she hasn’t been exposed to before. Thanks Matt Johnson for breeding and sending us a robust voluptuous pup‼️😍

Work and family commitments have seen yard trialling take a backseat this year, but a trial I religiously try to get to is the Jack Johnston Memorial @ Scone. In 2018 I said “I’ll have my name on that shield one day” with some handlers I highly respect.
Last year I had Trick & J in the final but got picked at the post by a mate.
This year J ensured that wouldn’t be the case with a 100 + 98 (198) achieving that milestone.

It was a great day out for several HSDTC members, having finalists and place getters/winners in each event.

Thanks Nat & Dimi for covering the work load at home as well!!
