The final haul of ribbons for Team Monarch from the 2026 United States Australian Shepherd Association National Specialty!
Highlights from our trip -
🧡 Scarlett won her Futurity class and a prestigious Select of Merit under Tina Beck. She was also 2nd in a quality 12-15 month Sweepstakes class under Jamie Clute with lovely comments on her movement!
đź–¤ Brenley won her junior showmanship class with Victor!
🧡 Brenley won High in Trial Junior both days of obedience with Whiskey!
đź–¤ Victor was awarded Herding Titled Dog in conformation and advanced to the final cut of the Best of Breed ring!
🧡 Brenley qualified in all of her Rally runs with a few nice class placements, including a PERFECT score in Excellent with Whiskey. She also set a personal best score in Rally Master and Triple Q’d both trials!
đź–¤ Strait made the cut in his very competitive classes both in sweepstakes (9-12) and in regular conformation (Bred by Puppy). He hit his teenage ganglies a couple weeks ago, so we were just proud he still was considered for placements!
Congratulations to all the winners and most of all many thanks to volunteers that put countless hours into making this event happen.
