Collision Course FCI - Australian Shepherds

26/09/2025

Photodump from European Open Obedience '25 and Czech Australian Shepherds Obedience Championships '25 - perfect pics from our summer season's competition marathone!
Since August we have attended five competitions and performed six performances. Australian Shepherds OB Championships in two countries (both won!), and four weekends in a row with competitions. Reem met the requirements to obtain Polish Obedience Champion title as well 🔥

Still cannot believe what a great teammate I had by my side! We gave a lot of nice performances with tons of confidence, power and trust.
I’m super proud about how responsible and self confident she become in only one season in elite class!

Moving on to next challenges with gratitude and lot of beautiful memories!

All my Aussies looked more like a Bernese in the age of 7-8 months - hairy, chubby and fluffy 😆 Yet, they turn one year old and the magic starts to happen! Kuma is almost 13 months old now - all shiny, muscular, strong and handsome! 😍
My favorite body type! Small and agile, with natural drive and power, spectacular reactions and turns. Jumping like a Duracell rabbit on steroids! Her technique and body awareness are something natural. If I'll be able to provide her correct tools and techniques, she's going to be truly amazing 🔥
Can't decide, all the pictures are my favorite so you're getting a looot! 😆 Taken by great .ja.rocka - thank you for lot of patience for my visions 🤗

Sometimes they love it, sometimes they don't.
With my dog's heelwork I choose to just stick to the plan, not to the trends or judges preferences.
I definitely don't look at the points. Sometimes for a long time after the competition. Why?
My feeling about the exercise is the most important thing here. I watched the movie before I checked the points. Loved it here! Silent, with good technique and focus. I feel like we're progressing from one competition to another! 🔥
It was 7,5 pts. It will happen sometimes, but it's not a reason to feel bad about it! ❤️
Just enjoy it, like I definitely do!

Following in her mum's footsteps....
Because that's where she belongs ❤️
Collision Course CLOUD NINE - 5/13 overall, excellent, Winner of Polish Aussie Obedience Championship '25 class 3.
Too bad I'm the lonely one in my beliefs.
Yes, they can compete with the best.
Yes, they can do heelwork for 5 minutes and 30 seconds, be technical and yet totally quiet.
They're Australian Shepherds and they can.

So true!

Take a dog into the ring that is ready to be there.

Much as you would not like to give a speech before you knew the words, your dog does not wish to perform without knowing the required behaviors. More dogs are permanently soured on competition by hopeful owners pushing their dog before it is ready than anything else I know of.

Take your time – there is no race here. Teach your dog all of the necessary behaviors, and teach your dog what is expected both before entering the ring and as you move around the ring. Finally, train for emotional comfort on the showgrounds.
