Our Canadian adventures in herding have revealed that Lucky is a BIRD DOG!
RESERVE HIGH IN TRIAL and his Arena Geese Started (HSg) title in the books this past weekend! I guess herding fowl runs in the family as sire Trusty and several of Lucky’s half siblings also have an affinity. It’s so amazing to see proof in epigenetics!
Herding with Lucky has been definitely more ups than downs with him teaching me many lessons along the way. Though he can push my buttons as any ACD can, he is more often my partner than my adversary which I am grateful for. He’s got a sweet & kind personality but he’s definitely no pushover!
Thank you to Chinook Dog Centre, Sturgeon County Kennel Club & Brandy-Lee Fraser-Fazlic for hosting fabulous trials this weekend. You have created such a great culture for herding to grow in Alberta — you should be proud of what you’ve built! Thank you to SCKC for the great new leash and fancy ribbons!
