I had an AMAZING opportunity to go up north to the beautiful Raspberry Ridge Sheep Farm in Bangor, Pennsylvania! I brought Utari and Velvet to compete in our very first AKC C course and AHBA RLF course. Wow! What an experience it was and boy did I learn ALOT! Alot about me as a shepherd, my dogs, our relationship, working different sheep and the courses! Both girls did their very best for me working sheep unfamiliar to us.
Thank you Carolyn Wilki and all of the amazing people that I met working the trial! I look forward to practicing more and seeing you all agian on the trial fields in the future!
Utari and Velvet were busy girls this past weekend running 4 times each. Twice on the AKC c course and twice on the AHBA RLF course.
💫Velvet de L'étoile Bossacora took first place in all of her runs, earning her first 2 legs towards the started c course title and earned her AHBA RLF level 1 title! 💫
💫Utari des Gardiens d’Anaflore took 1nd place in all of her runs, earning her first 2 legs towards the started c course and earned her AHBA RLF level 1 title! 💫
These two girls are amazing, and Im proud of them both!
Until next time, Happy Herding!
