HALL OF FAME DAM
Mickey had two litters
for a total of eight puppies.
MICKEY
(aka The Queen)
Thanks to all those who took the time
to work with their puppies
and train them to do
all kinds of things.
Thanks especially to Laura and Annie
who have earned quite a few titles
in quite a few areas of competition,
including those HITs and MVP Q.
But we most love the fact that Annie
is such a valuable farmhand.
Congrats to Elaine and Kate
for doing so well at ASCA
nationals and winning HIT.
Mickey was an amazing little black bitch,
the daughter of the coolest dog ever,
and the dam of some incredible kids.
Long live The Queen!

Getting Down to Business
From the President
Happy New Year and Happy 60 th birthday to ASCA! The club
was established in 1957, and we will be celebrating 60 years of
ASCA all year long. In the spirit of celebration, let’s focus on the
positive and on the LOVE of our wonderful breed, which binds us
together. Let’s strive to maintain a culture of unity and kindness
and respect.
In that spirit, the Board has established a new volunteer
recognition program. The purpose of this program is to celebrate
volunteers in ASCA, recognizing the many people who give back to
our club all year. The Board requests that Affiliates send in photos
of volunteers to be added to a slideshow, which will be shown at
Nationals. Please email your photos and the name of your volunteer
to ascavolunteers@gmail.com. The intent is for the slideshow to
grow each year and serve as a reminder of the dedicated volunteers
that keep ASCA running. Please submit your nominations by
September 1, 2017, to have your volunteer recognized at the 2017
National Specialty.
In other attempts to foster a positive culture, the Board passed
a new Personal Code of Conduct. The purpose of the Personal
Code of Conduct is to ensure a family-oriented, sportsmanlike
atmosphere at ASCA’s events. Judges and workers are expected to
exhibit professionalism and courtesy. Competitors are expected to
conduct themselves at the highest level of sportsmanship.
In an attempt to hold ourselves to these positive standards,
the Board established a set of norms to guide our interactions
with each other. The goal is positive communication and effective
collaboration to better serve ASCA. The Board’s 2016-2017
Norms include:
• Hear / listen with an open mind.
• Do not interrupt; practice conversational etiquette; avoid
divisive language; don’t monopolize.
• Respect and value each other’s opinions; don’t let things get
personal; trust that we are approaching each other honestly.
• Inclusion; everyone has a chance to speak.
• Respect the decision; agree to disagree professionally; know
when to let it go
• Make best effort to follow established procedures and rules
before making decisions; apply/enforce rules consistently.
• Stay on task; maintain focus; manage time effectively; stick
to agenda.
• Confidentiality in areas of individuals, employees, discipline,
and Executive Session and as requested by fellow Directors;
maintain professional intentions when sharing/seeking
information.
• Have empathy.
• When making a statement/decision provide a reason/rationale.
• Honesty; speak truthfully; don’t withhold information.
• If you break something; fix it.
• Be prepared for meetings.
I think these are probably good norms for us ALL to follow
as we head into the new year!
Working to preserve and promote the Australian Shepherd!

recognition. Color pages would be ideal as their cover shot would
have been color had they been recognized at the time.
Those pages will include a ½ page win picture and a ½ page “about
the cover” type situation that gives the owner and/or handler
room to say a little something about their dog and their success.
Frequently in the “about the cover” sections, other smaller photos
are included. That should be allowed in this ½ page section as
well.
Layout of the pages as to whether all of the pages should have
win photo on top and the about section underneath or vice versa
should be left to the Aussie Times editor. Win pages will appear in
chronological order beginning with 2012.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
Rally Committee
RA.16.18 RECOGNITION OF PREVIOUS RALLY FINALS
WINNERS
Approve: Unanimous
Motion carries.
Motion by Wesen: I move to accept this motion from the Rally
committee.
RC Motion 16.6 – Recognition of previous Rally Finals
winners
Effective Date: Upon Board of Directors approval
Rationale: At the time Rally was recognized as an official ASCA
program, no guidelines were established to recognize the Rally
Finals winner each year. Now that Rally will have a place of
recognition in the Aussie Times, we would like to have a way to
showcase the previous Rally Finals winners for their hard work
and success.
Effects: Aussie Times, the winners of Rally Finals in 2012, 2013,
2014 and 2015, and possibly the photographer who shot the win
pictures in order to get the official win pictures.
Motion by Karen Black; second by Beryl Billingsley: I move to
recognize previous rally finals winners (years 2012, 2013, 2014,
2015) in the Aussies Times.
PROPOSED RECOGNITION
5 pages in the Aussie Times. The first page to contain wording that
celebrates Rally as the newest ASCA program, explains we are
showcasing previous winners of Rally Finals and congratulates
all the previous winners. The four subsequent pages are to be
dedicated to the winners, one for each of the four years that missed
Results of the committee vote:
Approve: 13
Disapprove: 0
Abstain: 0
Non-voting: 0
Comments from committee members:
Ann McCabe: The winners should be given ample time to submit
their “bio” and picture as this may be a surprise to some of them
and we want them to feel proud about what is published in the
Aussie Times.
Leah Swatko: As stated Rally is a relatively new program and
finals winners were not included with other finals winner in other
competition in ASCA. This recognizes and sets up a format to
continue to recognize the past and future Rally Finals Winners.
Pat Pierce: I am thrilled past Rally Finals winners will finally
be celebrated in print. Congratulations to all for their inspiring
performances!
RA.16.19 SOLICITING ASSIGNMENTS
Approve: Unanimous
Motion carries.
Motion by Wesen: I move to accept this motion from the Rally
committee.
RC Motion 16.7 – Soliciting Assignments
Effective Date: upon approval by the BOD, or on their timeline as
it is a directive from them.
Rationale: The ASCA BOD has directed the Rally Committee
to include language in the Rally Rulebook regarding judges not
being allowed to solicit or promote judging assignments.
Effects: Judges will be affected as they will have to follow the
new guidelines. Affiliates will be affected to make sure they don’t
hire judges who have solicited an assignment.
Business Office notified: Business Office has been contacted
about the motion to make sure wording and procedure, etc. works
for them. Responded on 7/22/16, Ray Fryar says it looks good.
12 AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017

Motion by Karen Black; second by Karen Souza: By directive
of the ASCA Board of Directors, I move to include guidelines
for judges regarding the soliciting of assignments to the Rally
Rulebook.
We recommend this addition be number 16.1.4 with the remaining
sections of Chapter 16 following in sequential order.
PROPOSED WORDING
16.1.4 Soliciting Assignments
Neither a judge, nor a family member of a judge, may solicit or
promote assignments on the judge’s behalf.
Definitions:
(a) Solicitation is the repeated contact and/or the use of influence,
persuasion or coercion in an effort to obtain a judging
assignment.
(b) Promotion is a Judge’s or his/her immediate family member’s
attempt to sell or popularize the Judge or his/her judging
assignments through verbal or written advertising and/or
publicity.
(Effective June 2017)
CURRENT WORDING
There is no current wording for this in the ASCA Rally Rulebook.
Results of the committee vote:
Approve: 11
Disapprove: 0
Abstain: 1
Non-voting: 1
Comments from committee members:
Leah Swatko: Brings the Rally Judges in line with solicitation as
found in ASCA documents governing Judges behavior.
Beryl Billingsley: I am disappointed that something which should
be a board decision for all venues has been handed off to the
individual committees.
RA.16.20 GRAMMAR AND WORDING CHANGES IN
SEVERAL SECTIONS OF THE RALLY RULES
Approve: Unanimous
Motion carries.
Officer Reports
Secretary and the Business Office since any changes to Rulebooks
are now made immediately.
Effects: Anyone who reads the rulebook will be affected and
the Executive Secretary who has to make the changes will be
affected. The Business Office could be affected by a new rule
that they have to give notice every time a change to a rulebook is
made. Business Office was notified on 7/21/16 and responded on
7/22/16, Ray Fryar said it looks good.
Motion by Karen Black: second by Leah Swatko: I move to make
the grammar corrections and clarify wording in several sections
of the Rally Rulebook:
PROPOSED WORDING
1.24 Judging Program
Any Affiliate Club holding a Specialty with a closed entry date
must prepare, after the entries have closed, a program showing
the time scheduled for judging. A copy of this program shall be
sent to the owner of each entered dog and to each Judge, and the
program shall be printed in the catalog. In addition, one-half to
one-hour for rest or meals must be allowed if it will take more
than five hours of actual judging to judge the dogs entered under
him/her. Judges are allowed to judge up to 120 dogs runs per day.
It is suggested that a Judge not judge more than eight hours in
a single day. If a Rally Judge is judging more than one ASCA
sanctioned event per day, the eight hours includes all assignments.
(Effective June 2017)
1.28.1 Ribbons for Split Classes
A club that holds a split class, whether the split is announced in
the Premium List or after entries close because the entries exceed
eight hours of judging or 120 entries runs, shall award ASCA
official ribbons in both divisions. (Effective June 2017)
2.11.2 Pinning the Class
Before awarding the prizes, the Judge shall inform the exhibitors
and spectators as to the maximum number of points for a perfect
score, an X score, or a C score out of the C class, as well as the
minimum number of points to qualify, and. He/she shall then
announce the score of each placement placements and scores. The
Judge shall then present to all handlers with qualifying scores their
X, C, or regular qualifying score and their X or regular qualifying
ribbon. (Effective June 2017)
Motion by Wesen: I move to accept this motion from the Rally
committee.
RC Motion 16.8 – Grammar corrections and clarifying
wording in several sections of the Rally Rulebook
Effective Date: June 1, 2017
Rationale: There are quite a few situations where we have runon
sentences, poorly structured sentences and other situations
that muddle the intent of the rules. We also have areas where a
word change here or there clarifies the meaning immensely. The
purpose of this motion is to clean up these areas which will make
the rulebook easier to read and understand. These have been done
together in one motion to make things easier for the Executive
2.15.3 Judging Dogs out of Catalog Order
A Judge may agree, on request at the prior to the scheduled starting
time of the class, to judge a dog earlier or later than the time out of
scheduled by catalog order. However, a Judge should not hesitate
to mark absent and to refuse to judge any dog and handler team
that are is not at ringside ready to be judged in catalog order if
no arrangement has been made in advance. (Effective June 2017)
2.20.3 Reasonable Control During Praise
When praise is allowed during the performance of the Rally
course, points Points will be deducted for a dog that is not under
reasonable control while being praised., when praise is allowed
during the performance of the Rally course. (Effective June 2017)
AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017 13

13.3.3 Notification of Alternates; Refunds
If an eligible contestant fails to send in an entry form, the Business
Office will notify the next alternate who has stated his/her intent
to attend. If a cancellation occurs the day of the Finals, one of the
25 20 alternates on the grounds will become eligible in order of
their rankings. If no alternates are available, the Finals will run
short. No entry fee will be refunded. (Effective June 2017)
13.8.5 One Winner
There will one overall winner for Finals, not one from each level.
(Effective June 2017)
This is a duplicate statement of 13.6.9 and therefore not needed
here.
16.1.2 Judging Limits; Reusing Courses
Judges are allowed to judge up to 120 dogs runs per day. It is
suggested that a Judge not judge more than eight hours in a single
day. If a Rally Judge is judging more than one ASCA sanctioned
event per day, the eight hours includes all assignments. Courses
may not be reused within 6 months in any Trial that is within 300
miles from previous use of same courses. (Effective June 2017)

Any Affiliate Club holding a Specialty with a closed entry date
must prepare, after the entries have closed, a program showing
the time scheduled for judging. A copy of this program shall be
sent to the owner of each entered dog and to each Judge, and the
program shall be printed in the catalog. In addition, one-half to
one-hour for rest or meals must be allowed if it will take more
than five hours of actual judging to judge the dogs entered under
him/her. Judges are allowed to judge up to 120 dogs per day. It is
suggested that a Judge not judge more than eight hours in a single
day. If a Rally Judge is judging more than one ASCA sanctioned
event per day, the eight hours includes all assignments.
1.28.1 Ribbons for Split Classes
A club that holds a split class, whether the split is announced in
the Premium List or after entries close because the entries exceed
eight hours of judging or 120 entries, shall award ASCA official
ribbons in both divisions.
2.11.2 Pinning the Class
Before awarding the prizes, the Judge shall inform the exhibitors
and spectators as to the maximum number of points for a perfect
score, an X score, or a C score out of the C class, as well as the
minimum number of points to qualify, and shall then announce
the score of each placement. The Judge shall then present to all
handlers with qualifying scores their X, C, or regular qualifying
score and their X or regular qualifying ribbon.
2.15.3 Judging Dogs out of Catalog Order
A Judge may agree, on request at the scheduled starting time of
the class, to judge a dog earlier or later than the time scheduled
by catalog order. However, a Judge should not hesitate to mark
absent and to refuse to judge any dog and handler that are not at
ringside ready to be judged in catalog order if no arrangement has
been made in advance.

August Email Votes
The Board spent time discussing a failed Obedience Committee
motion (OB.16.25 Change to 1.9 Dogs that May Not Compete)
from August. The committee recommended shortening the waiting
period before a student may trial under a training instructor from
1-year to 30-days. Those Directors that voted against the change
did not think that 30-days was long enough, if it were going to be
regulated. The Board would be in favor of removing the waiting
period all together, as Obedience is the only performance program
with this type of restriction.
BD.16.114 RATIFY AUGUST EMAIL VOTES
Motion by Gibson to ratify the Board’s August email votes.
Second by Gray.
Approve: Unanimous; motion carries.

Officer Reports
Volunteer Recognition
DeChant and King have come up with a proposal to celebrate
volunteers in ASCA. Instead of having a Volunteer of the Year
award that would recognize just one volunteer at a time, they
thought it better to find a way to recognize the many people who
give back to ASCA all year.
The Board requests that Affiliates send in photos of volunteers
to be added to a slideshow, which will be shown at Nationals.
The intent is for the slideshow to grow each year and serve as a
reminder of the dedicated volunteers that keep ASCA running.
DeChant and King will put together a simple ad for the next
Aussie Times.
DeChant left the meeting at 3:40 p.m.
SYSTEM REPORT
The September rollout will be delayed due to the timing of
Nationals. Everything is going smoothly and there have been no
impediments identified. The development team is fully engaged
and understands exactly what ASCA needs in this system.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Disciplinary Actions for Judge Complaints
Referred to the Conflict Resolution Committee.
Promote/Educate the Public About Programs
Liaisons need to touch base with their committees regarding this
assignment.
Proposal for Introduction to Stock Event
The Stockdog Committee had been in the process of developing
a proposal, but it was withdrawn after they determined it was not
in the best interest of ASCA’s stock program to have a formal
event. They would rather encourage Affiliates to host play days
with knowledgeable stock handlers.
A sub-committee of Gibson, Roberts, and Vest will come up
with guidelines for a possible introduction event or play days.
Recognition for Dock Diving
There are dock diving organizations that are not affiliated with
AKC, and that would be willing to offer third party testing for
ASCA. Gibson volunteered to investigate as part of the 2017
Nationals and she will get back to Silveira and Gray with her
results.
Disciplinary Chart of Consequences
Referred to the Conflict Resolution Committee.
Obtaining Ongoing Member Input
The idea of posing weekly scenarios to the membership to
determine areas of growth in ASCA. The continuing discussion
focused on how best to put those scenarios to the membership and
how to increase positive interactions between the Board and the
membership.
A sub-committee of Jaco, Roberts, and Silveira will look into
gaining ownership/control of the ASCA-L and attempt to re-brand
that list as a constructive way to communicate with members.
Grant Possibilities
There are grants out there, but ASCA needs to be careful because
of our 501-c7 status. If we are going to seek out a grant we need
to have a specified purpose for it.
ASCA App for Phones
Jaco will continue research on this.
FIRST DRAFT OF 2017 NATIONAL SPECIALTY PREMIUM
The Host Club needs to find a replacement judge for the

First Draft of 2017 National Specialty Premium, continued
The Board wants to make sure that the 2017 Premium is clear
that only ASCA registered Australian Shepherds can compete in
the Nationals and Finals. Dogs with tracking numbers (QTracker)
are not considered ASCA registered Aussies and are not able to
compete at the ASCA Nationals or Finals.

MEETING WITH OBEDIENCE COMMITTEE CHAIR
The Board met with Obedience Committee Chair Laurie Rubin.
They shared reasons for voting down the Obedience Committee’s
motion (OB.16.25 Change to 1.9 Dogs that May Not Compete)
from August. The consensus of the Board was to simply remove
the rule altogether, instead of lessening it to 30-days.
Rubin left the meeting at 10:36 a.m
Kissman and Silveira left the meeting at 10:39 a.m.

project is completed.
Kissman and Silveira joined the meeting at 10:44 a.m.
2017 Budget
The 2017 budget was presented. It is important that we are
realistic about our projected income and that the budget is
planned accordingly. The Board will revisit once the third quarter
is completed.
Additional Event Membership Dues
We are paying out almost double than we are taking in, for each
program, in the Additional Event Membership Dues account.
Standardizing the awards may help decrease these costs.
Business Office Manager Ray Fryar joined the meeting at 10:59
a.m.
Finals Entry Fees
The entry fees for Finals are currently $60 for each program. It is
a recurring topic for the Nationals meeting to discuss the fees and
whether they should stay the same, be raised, or be lowered. The
Board determined to leave the fees as they are for now.
DNA Fees
The fees for DNA are currently $45 for blood and $50 for cheek
swab. It is a recurring topic for the Nationals meeting to discuss
the fees and whether they should stay the same, be raised, or be
lowered. The Board determined to leave the fees as they are.
2015 Audit
The results will be available at this year’s General Membership
Meeting, and are also available upon request to the Business
Office. This year’s management letter was positive.
The Board entered Executive Session at 11:35 a.m.

NORMS ACTIVITIES
The Board shared their general thoughts on whether the norms
have been working or not. Most believed that they worked, so
long as they are properly and consistently applied. Each Director
shared which of the norms they felt we needed the most work
on and if they thought there should be any changes. The Board
then discussed how each Director interpreted ASCA’s mission to
preserve the Australian Shepherd.
2019 ASCA NATIONAL SPECIALTY
The Board received one applicant to host the 2019 ASCA National
Specialty from Central Valley ASC in Bakersfield, California.
BD.16.119 Approve bid from CVASC to host 2019 National
Specialty
Motion by Silveira to approve Central Valley ASC to host the
2019 ASCA National Specialty in Bakersfield, California. Second
by Roberts.
Approve: Unanimous; motion carries.
It is important that Affiliates interested in hosting a National
Specialty be aware that they need to have everything prepared
approximately three years in advance.
LIAISON TO 2016 NATIONAL SPECIALTY HOST CLUB
Kissman is the current Liaison and he is leaving the Board. Gray
volunteered to take over his duties.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROTOCOL PROPOSAL
This proposal is the result of work by Gibson, Vest, Karen Black,
Rick Hardin, Linda Mahoney, and Kathy Remington. It would
replace the current Dispute Rules entirely.
Silveira suggested that the filing fee be eliminated. Removing
the filing fee may make the Board more approachable and
encourage people to work out their issues according to our rules
and not let it get out of hand. If disputes become frivolous, the
Board will consider reinstating the filing fee.
The Board spent time discussing options for action against
members who harm ASCA, as well as alternative options for
members to resolve disputes with the Board.
Silveira and Wesen left the meeting at 10:45 a.m.
PERSONAL CODE OF CONDUCT
This proposal is the result of work by DeChant, Gibson, and Pete
Dolan. It is in response to member requests at the 2015 General
Membership Meeting.
BD.16.120 Approve Code of Personal Conduct
Motion by Vest to approve the Code of Personal Conduct as
presented. Second by Gray.
Approve: DeChant, Gibson, Gray, King, Roberts, Silveira, Vest;
absent: Wesen; motion carries.
DNA QUESTIONS
These answers are ready to be sent to the member that posed the
questions. Jaco will forward the response via email.
FILLING VACANCIES ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
It was suggested that resumes for the Board be kept on file and
when there is a vacancy a ballot will be sent out to the membership
to elect a replacement. Vest will investigate associated costs.
JUDGE EVALUATIONS
Jaco proposed a process for handling judge evaluations sent
to the Business Office with the show paperwork. Currently,
the evaluations are sent to the appropriate committees and the
Executive Secretary, but there is no structured follow-up.
Moving forward, all judge evaluations will continue to be sent
to the Executive Secretary. She will log and save them in judge
specific files. Positive feedback will be shared with the judge.
Negative feedback will be forwarded to the Board to determine if
disciplinary action is necessary, or whether education will suffice.
Discipline will be handled by the Board, while education may be
delegated to the appropriate committee.
Silveira left the meeting at 12:58 p.m.
USE OF THE CHUTE/CLOSED TUNNEL OBSTACLE IN
ASCA AGILITY
BD.16.121 Suspend use of the chute/closed tunnel in ASCA
Agility
Motion by Gibson to temporarily suspend the use of the chute/
closed tunnel while the Agility Committee researches and
deliberates the continued use of this obstacle in the ASCA Agility
Program. Second by Wesen.
Approve: DeChant, Gibson, Gray, King, Kissman, Vest, Wesen;
absent: Silveira; motion carries.
Effective immediately upon approval by the BOD
Rationale: This is the recommendation of the Agility Committee
(informal vote 9 to 3, with one non-voting). The committee needs
to decide what is best for ASCA, considering our rules and our
use of this obstacle.
Parties affected: Agility Judges, agility competitors, affiliates
who sanction agility events, dogs who run ASCA agility events.
Silveira joined the meeting at 2:08 p.m.
AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017 17

RESTRUCTURING OF ASCA REGIONS
King and Silveira have taken the lead on this. The Board discussed
the options of arranging the regions by population so there is more
equal representation, and adding more regions while lowering
committee representation to one per region instead of two.
EUROPEAN MEMBER SURVEY
The Board would like to create a European advisory committee
that can look into issues related to European membership.

Conduct so that the Junior section reads “add the above to section
1.3.” Second by Vest.
Approve: DeChant, Gibson, Gray, King, Roberts, Silveira, Vest;
absent: Wesen; motion carries.
FACEBOOK
The Board discussed their options for curbing negative comments
that may circulate on Facebook. There is no desire to infringe on
any member’s freedom of speech, but the Board would like to see
members making an effort to be more positive.
Wesen joined the meeting at 9:14 a.m.
Counsel will report back to the Board on their options for action
related to Facebook comments. A social media policy development
committee of DeChant, Gibson, and Silveira was created. Gibson
These records must contain pedigree information on sire and dam,
a copy of the litter application or litter record, names, addresses
and phone numbers of the buyers of the puppies, adult dogs, and
stud services as well as any other information deemed pertinent
by the owner and/or breeder. For example, additional information
could be pictures of the dogs, height, weight, etc.
The Australian Shepherd Club of America may refuse to register
any dog or litter or to record the transfer of any dog for the sole
reason the application is not supported by the records required by
these rules and the regulations adopted under them.
The ASCA Registry Office will notify the ASCA Board of
Directors when a breeder has registered ten (10) or more litters in
any twelve (12) month period. The ASCA Board of Directors may
authorize an on-site inspection to investigate breeding records,
practices and treatment of dogs.
Any person who willingly or admittedly falsifies registration
records, pursues unethical registration practices that render it
impossible to identify an individual dog or the parentage of a
specific litter, practices inhumane and cruel treatment of animals
or refuses to permit an authorized ASCA Registry inspector to
examine their breeding records and practices or to examine one
or more of their dogs that are ASCA registered or eligible for
ASCA registration, may be suspended from all ASCA services
and privileges by action of the Board of Directors.
The ASCA Board may suspend the membership of any person
who has been charged by a governmental authority with animal
cruelty, inhumane treatment of animals or the like, during the
pendency of such prosecution.
Failure of litter owner(s) to supply the puppy buyer(s) with an
Individual Registration Application may result in loss of ASCA
privileges of the litter owner(s), after review by the ASCA Board.
Gray left the meeting at 9:41 a.m.
BD.16.125 Change to Registry Rule 2.4
Motion by DeChant to strike “The ASCA Registry Office will
notify the ASCA Board of Directors when a breeder has registered
ten (10) or more litters in any twelve (12) month period. The
ASCA Board of Directors may authorize an on-site inspection
to investigate breeding records, practices and treatment of dogs”

18 AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017

The Board discussed changes to the remainder of the section.
Counsel will report back with his recommendation at the October
teleconference meeting.
Officer Reports
COMPLAINT
The Board discussed a complaint and determined to take no
further action.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROTOCOL PROPOSAL,
CONTINUED
Some Directors expressed concerns with the language in the
proposal that would allow ASCA to suspend members that sue
the club. Counsel will report back with a recommendation for the
October teleconference meeting.
ROLE AND FUNCTION OF ASCA’S COMMITTEES
Moving forward, committees will choose three goals to work on
for the year. They will present those goals to 2 nd Vice President
Vest for inclusion in the Strategic Plan. The Board hopes this will
help to focus the committees, as well as cut down on excessive
rule changes and committee overload. The Board may still send
directives and the committees may still respond to emergency
issues. Vest will reach out to the committee Chairs.
The Board discussed the purpose of the committees. Gibson
volunteered to come up with a paragraph to be added to the
beginning of the Committee Procedures that would serve as a
reminder to committees of their purpose, to be presented at the
October teleconference meeting.
The Board also discussed having committee liaisons appointed at
the Board level, and no longer chosen by the committees. Counsel
is in favor of this. Further discussion will be held at the October
teleconference meeting.
EUROPEAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
BD.16.126 Create European Advisory Committee
Motion by Gibson to create a European Advisory Committee
composed of one member per European Affiliate (representative
to be voted on by the Affiliate), plus two at-large members
(selected from resumes sent to the Board via 1 st Vice President
Ann DeChant). Second by King.
Approve: DeChant, Gibson, King, Roberts, Silveira, Vest, Wesen;
absent: Gray; motion carries.
DeChant will work with the Office Manager and the Webmaster
to get a letter sent to the Affiliates requesting that they select
representatives. She will get the committee started off.
PAYMENT FOR AGILITY COURSE REVIEWERS
Gibson proposed that ASCA begin to pay course reviewers a
$1.00 per course stipend. They would need to fill out a form that
would document their work and pay. Most Directors would like to
see the course reviewers be paid for their work, but the consensus
was that the payment should be part of event costs, and should not
be coming directly from ASCA. The cost needs to be budgeted
for. Gibson will take this back to the Agility Course Reviewers
to make a recommendation, with the input of the Office Manager.
The Board entered Executive Session at 12:30 p.m.
The Board exited Executive Session at 12:45 p.m.
STANDARDIZING FINALS
Motion by Gibson to approve the standardization of the rosettes
as outlined in the proposal, with changes to be made in the
appropriate rulebooks. Second by DeChant.
Approve: DeChant, Gibson, King, Roberts, Silveira, Vest, Wesen;
absent: Gray; motion carries.
[See next page this issue for Finals chart.]
All Finals Qualifiers will receive a rosette labeled “Finalist,”
with the qualifying dog’s ASCA registered name and ASCA titles
entered on a side streamer. Non-ASCA titles will not be included.
The name streamer will be placed on the Finals participation
rosette, not on the placement rosette. All rosettes will have the
date and location of the Finals. Any qualifying team that is unable
to participate in the Finals is responsible for the cost of shipping
their Finals rosette or requesting that the rosette be entrusted to
someone else for delivery. The host club is not responsible for the
cost of shipping rosettes.
Placements will be awarded 1st-10th place. Colors for the center
streamer shall be as follows for placement rosettes: 1st - blue;
2nd - red; 3rd - yellow; 4th - white, 5th - 10th - same color (to
coordinate with colors of host’s rosette colors) and will have
placements on rosette.
Invitations: The competition program committees were polled
to see if they wanted to change the way alternate invitations
are handled. They reported that they are currently satisfied with
the way invitations are being handled with regard to alternate
invitations.
Future Work:
• Proposal to change participation in Finals
• Proposal for a standard budget for Finals – standardize the
items that the BOD will cover in a Finals budget
• Proposal for Finals Director
NATIONALS SITE SURVEY
Gibson will draft a survey to be sent to the membership requesting
feedback on Nationals sites. The survey will question whether
they prefer it the way it is with random bids from Affiliates, or
would they prefer one permanent location or several rotating
locations.
JUDGE APPROVAL PROCESS
Vest expressed her concern with judges being used in ASCA that
have not been approved by the Board. For instance, judges from
other registries that meet our requirements are admitted without
being published in the Aussie Times or voted on by the Board.
Vest will work on a solution to this, in addition to her continuing
work on standardizing the approval process among programs.

INSURANCE FOR AFFILIATES
The proper procedure is for the Affiliate to contact the Business
Office and request that both the Affiliate and the facility where
the event is to be held be named as co-insureds during the event.
The Office Manager then contacts ASCA’s general liability carrier
which issues a binder covering both the Affiliate and the facility.
It is important that the Affiliates be made aware that coverage is
not automatic, but must be requested on each occasion that the
Affiliate puts on an event. That is because the policy is written to
ASCA and not to the Affiliate.
When a venue requires they be NAMED as an additional insured,
and wants a copy of the endorsement that shows their name, there
is an additional fee of $50. If they are happy being INCLUDED
as an additional insured under the blanket additional insured
endorsement, then there is no additional cost.
Officer Reports
it achieving that purpose or are Licensees infringing on local
Affiliates? Some members expressed concerns about Affiliates
having to arrange their schedules around Licensees (regardless
of program). For example, if a Licensee is holding an agility
trial in an area on the same weekend as an ASCA Stockdog trial,
competitors that do both agility and stock would have to choose
between supporting a Licensee or an Affiliate.
The Board has sent a directive to the Agility Committee to detail
the approval process, including a requirement for contacting any
Affiliates already serving that area. Members may send any input
to the Agility Committee Chair, Judy Boone.
Affiliates
When a new Affiliate applies for approval, should the Affiliate(s)
already serving that area be contacted for feedback, as well?
Should there be a limit on how many Affiliates may operate per
state?
Point Schedule
New Affiliate Clubs start with using schedule 1 for conformation
points. Should they be placed on an equivalent schedule with the
other Affiliates in that region? This is a topic for the Conformation
Committee.
RESTRUCTURING ASCA’S REGIONS
The Board would like to restructure ASCA’s regions (for the
purposes of filling committees) based on member population.
Those in attendance were in favor of this.
There was discussion of the survey sent to European members about
splitting region 7. Those that responded were overwhelmingly for
splitting it into two regions. We hope this will encourage more
representation from Europe.
SANCTIONING DAYS
Sundays are included in the days counted for the purposes of
sanctioning.
The Affiliates also need to be made aware that ASCA’s general
liability policy does not cover personal injury incurred by a
participant, such as a fall in the ring. Such coverage is available
to the Affiliates by specialty insurers at reasonable cost. If a
query is made to the Business Office, the Affiliate is referred to
Sportsmen’s Insurance (www.dogclubinsurance.com), a company
which insures several Affiliates, ASCA’s broker, Catto & Catto,
LLP, in San Antonio, or their own insurance broker. ASCA’s
insurance only protects non-members.
APPROVAL OF NEW AFFILIATE CLUBS AND AGILITY
LICENSEES
Several questions have come up for discussion regarding Affiliate
Clubs and Agility Licensees.
Agility Licensees
The Agility Licensee program was started to provide agility in
areas that don’t have an Affiliate that hosts agility trials and to
offer training facilities the opportunity to host ASCA trials. Is
REMOVING THE CHUTE/CLOSED TUNNEL IN AGILITY
Gibson has put forward a motion to temporarily suspend the
chute/closed tunnel until the Agility Committee can make an
official recommendation following research. It has always been
optional for clubs to use this obstacle.
ASCA PARTICIPATION
Members brought up concerns about how ASCA can promote itself
and encourage new members, as well as keep old ones. Options
discussed were reaching out to 4H programs to involve them in
our shows/trials, contacting local media to advertise Affiliate
events, and extending welcomes to spectators and newcomers.
Affiliates may also choose to offer educational or fun events in
conjunction with club meetings. It was suggested that Affiliates
promote the Cee Hambo Scholarship for aged out juniors.
It is important that members at ASCA events remember that they
are the ambassadors of our breed and should be encouraging,
considerate, and respectful.
AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017 21

VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION
There will be a slideshow at the 2017 Nationals recognizing some
of the many wonderful volunteers in ASCA. Affiliates should fill
out the submission form and send in photos of volunteers from
their shows, events, seminars, clinics, etc. Instead of offering a
Volunteer of the Year award, the Board would like to see everyone
who gives back to ASCA be recognized, instead of focusing on
just one person per year.
UPDATING THE JUDGES LIST
To remove a deceased judge from the list ASCA needs to have
proof of the death (death certificate or obituary). Going through
the entire list is a large undertaking.
JUDGE EVALUATIONS
At the completion of a show/trial, Affiliates fill out evaluation
forms for the judges they used. Those forms are sent to the
Office with the show paperwork and forwarded to the Executive
Secretary. Positive feedback will be shared with the judge.
Negative feedback will be considered by the Board and they may
choose to educate or discipline the judge.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.

it as an asset that will depreciate.
SYSTEM UPGRADE
Allison Bryant is the system liaison; Vest is her liaison to the
Board. Things are currently on track with FrogSlayer and the full
rollout is due to be completed by the end of December. The final
payment to FrogSlayer was made on December 21, 2015.
Question from Gina Larsen: Will we be able to mark dogs as
deceased ourselves? Answer: Yes, that will be part of the final
rollout.
Question from Sue Graham: When will be able to submit show
results electronically? Answer: That will be part of the fourth
rollout at the end of November.
Question from Susan Harris: Will pedigrees be available online?
Answer: That is something the Office Manager and the Board
need to confer on.
Question from Carol McLaughlin: Will the new system integrate
and bring up info for trial secretaries to have access to? Answer:
Yes, but trial secretaries will need to remember to do their own
checks to make sure that the information used is accurate.
Question from Becky Parker: If the show results are done online,
how do we handled sending in the original scoresheets and copies
of the registrations? Answer: There will be an option to scan and
attached the judge’s books and necessary documents. The Office
Manager and the Board will need to discuss policy for keeping
the originals.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Agility Committee
Sherry Butler gave the report for Chair Judy Boone:
“First, a big thank you to our Board liaison Laura Gibson for
her hard work throughout the year. We appreciate her time and
effort on the committee’s behalf.

“ASCA agility had another good and growing year. Our
trials broke the 400 mark, ending with 418 shows for the year.
Entries and titles awarded were also up. Other breed participation
holds steady at about 40 percent of all titles awarded. The ACE
program gave out the first A.C.E.s – actually 4 A.C.E. awards –
the equivalent of the ATCH. Two went to Aussies and 2 to Other
Breeds. In only its second year, the ACE program accounts for
about 10 percent of all agility entries.
“This year marked our first approved apprentice judges in
Europe. We welcome Peggy Meersman and Allard Wagenaar
from Belgium. We also welcome Apprentice Jeff Hayes from
Texas. Joining the approved judges’ roster is Kay Stimson from
Texas and Sherry Butler from Arizona. Congratulations to Gary
Shipley on his Apprentice Supervisor approval.”
Conformation Committee
Chair Liz Gibson gave the report:
“Hello from the Conformation Committee. I hope everyone
has been enjoying themselves at this year’s National Specialty. It
has been a long time since our National Specialty was in the Pacific
Northwest! The last time was in 1999! We hope it can come back
again! There is so much to see and do in the Northwest! I hope
you all get a chance to do some sightseeing while here. Please
give a round of applause to our hosts!
I would like to introduce the committee to you. If you are
present, please stand up when I call your name. Region 1: Nina
Scott-Pace, Debbie Martin; Region 2: Regi Bryant, Erin Sumler;
Region 3: Ray Schafer; Region 4: Sunday Miles; Region 5:
Dorothy Montano; Region 6: Peter Kontos, Mish Morgan; Region
7: Mary Hellmeister, Svenja Hagedorn.
“We lost a great lady and friend to the Australian Shepherd
Community in July. Kathy Remington was a member of this
committee and she is missed by all of us!
“We greatly enjoyed working with our liaison, Pete Dolan,
until he resigned from the Board. After a quick poll of the CC
members, we chose Ann DeChant to fill that role. Thank you,
Ann, for putting up with us!
“Our Yearly Title Report is as follows: From 6/1/15 to 5/31/16
ASCA had 593 Conformation Shows. A drop of 47 shows! During
this timeframe, we had 36 new Altered Champions and 223 New
Intact Champions. Very similar numbers to last year.
“The Committee have worked very hard over the past year to
make clear and defined rule revisions.
We have a lot more work ahead of us on certain rules and
definitions.
“You, the members of ASCA, can help the Conformation
Committee by giving us your input or by giving us a suggestion
for a new rule or a clarification of a current rule. We ask for and
encourage your help. We do have a few openings. Please apply
and keep ASCA great.”
DNA Committee
Chair Trish Alexander gave the report:
“As many of you know, over the weekend, Linda Mahoney
passed away... Linda once served on the DNA committee where
she was a motivational force who contributed much in the way of
educating the membership on the benefits of DNA. She was also
responsible for doing the DNA Sweatshirts back in 2003. It had
Officer Reports
two flat Aussies and the words ‘DNA, it’s the only way.’ She will
be missed.
“2016 ASCA Nationals blood draw: This year our blood
draw was held on Tues, Sept. 13, from 10:30 am to 1 pm. ASHGI
partnered with us for the blood draw. In addition, Paw Print
Genetics joined us to provide tests for various hereditary diseases.
In total, 33 DNA blood draws were done… plus draws for
epilepsy, research cancer research, and CHIC.
“The DNA committee would like to thank everyone who
helped out at the blood draw, especially Kimmie Warren, Diana
Land, and Rachel for drawing blood. Maxine Schvaneveldt, Jean
Roberts, Ray Fryer, Robbie Norman, TJ Johnson, and all the
other members who stuck around to help out… It was greatly
appreciated.
“Currently the DNA committee is working on updating the
Multi-Sired Litter Registration Rule and application.
“Also, please Watch for future articles and educational
material providing the definition and importance of extended
marker sets. Also, watch for information regarding when it is a
necessity to use the extended marker set for parental verification.
Please feel free to contact the committee with issues or any
questions you may have…”
Hall of Fame Committee
Ann DeChant gave the report for Chair Dorothy Montano.
History Committee
Robbi Norman gave the report for Chair Sunday Miles.
Question from Regi Bryant: Why did the committee choose to
only honor one person with the Lifetime Achievement Award
this year, when multiple people have been honored in the past?
Answer: Norman is not aware of any years where the Lifetime
Achievement Award was given to more than one person, unless it
was given to a married couple.
Junior Committee
Chair Regi Bryant gave the report:
“We are already about one-third of the way through the show
year and happy to report that the newly revised patterns have had
a positive response!
“The Junior Committee had been working with the Agility
and Stockdog Committees, per a Directive from the Board, but
were unable to come up with a solution for multiple reasons. I
encourage you to let the appropriate committees know if you have
any suggestions.
“As part of this year’s Nationals Host Club, we decided to
offer a Tiny Tots class for ages up to 3 years of age, which used to
be a part of the Pee-Wee class. We had an overwhelming number
of entries for that class alone and everyone enjoyed watching the
future of our sport show their dogs! We also decided that since
the juniors are the future of the sport, all Conformation classes
would stop during juniors at both the pre-shows and nationals,
in addition to the Veterans classes. We felt it was important to
showcase our past and our future generations.
“The Annual Junior Seminar is currently underway in the
Willamette Event Center. Our Junior Finals judge and our
Nationals Junior Chair, who is also a member of the Junior

Officer Reports
Committee were willing to help offer assistance to the juniors this
year.
“We are still only a half-full committee and would like
any other interested parties (juniors and adults alike) to submit
resumes to ASCA’s Executive Secretary.
“If there are any questions, we are always happy to answer
them. The committee also loves input from members and would
love to hear from you!”
Question from Sue Graham: Why did the committee turn down
the Agility Committee’s proposal for the agility merit program?
Answer: The two committees need to work together to get this
completed.
Obedience Committee
Chair Laurie Rubin gave the report:
“The Obedience Committee is pleased to have added members
this year. We regret losing Jayne Lips, someone who has given so
much to ASCA through the years.
“For the second year in a row the number of obedience trials
has decreased, while the number of participants has increased.
This appears to show that interest in ASCA obedience is growing
in the areas where there are trials. Sadly, fewer clubs are offering
obedience trials. The number of trials came down 22% between
2010 and 2016. We can’t afford to continue this trend.
“Previous years’ statistics:
6/1/2010 thru 5/31/2011: 305 shows and 833 participants
6/1/2011 thru 5/31/2012: 296 shows and 830 participants
6/1/2012 thru 5/31/2013: 267 shows and 736 participants
6/1/2013 thru 5/31/2014: 266 shows and 652 participants
6/1/2014 thru 5/31/2015: 247 shows and 745 participants
6/1/2015 thru 5/31/2016: 238 shows and 771 participants
“Yearly Title Reports for Obedience 6/1/2015 thru 5/31/2016:
Number of Obedience trials: 238
Titles Received – Aussies: 93 BN, 115 CD, 34 CDX, 13

8. Created a 2-year trial period giving clubs the option of
allowing bitches in season at regular trials if it’s posted
24 AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017
in premium and Nationals rules are followed. – June
2017-May 2019.
9. Added the Graduate Novice Optional Titling class. -–

13. Deleted restriction that dogs entered in non-reg. can’t
enter reg. classes. – 2017
14. Attempted to change the restriction on showing under
a judge you trained with from 12 months to 30 days.
15. Discussed and decided not to disallow earning both
CDX and ODX titles on the same dog.
16. Discussed and decided not to eliminate the non-regular
Sub Novice class.
17. Made uniform throughout the rulebook the terminology
for Show or Trial Secretaries.
“Here are some topics coming up:
1. J udge education:
a. Create an education requirement to be completed
every 3 years, starting with attending or watching the
videos of the 2014 and 2016 seminars.
b. Create a Web-based educational component for
future, like rally has.
c. Consider recommending apprentice judging to judge
applicants.
d. Update Judges Guidelines --needs volunteer.
2. Update ODX Education page on the website.
3. Create an excel trial report form so secretaries don’t
have to handwrite all the trial results.
4. Discuss possible ODX changes or clarifications:
a. Allow entries in both CDX and ODX at same trial.
b. Change scoring to include touching cone on DOE2
and/or knocking down cone in either portion.
c. Change scoring to make more consistent—sitting
outside 3’ and standing outside 4’ should either both
be substantial deductions or both be NQ’s; and/or
should wording change to body lengths instead of
feet?
d. Change scoring language to include slow responses
to commands, going slowly to the cone, responding
slowly to the sit, sentences like “and all other
deductions as applicable to the novice recall.”
e. For the future, should we combine all the current
parts of the DOE’s into one exercise and add a totally
new exercise to make it more rigorous?
5. Publish a paper and online feedback survey for those
who attend trials where Bitches in Season are allowed.
6. Create a Pee Wee Obedience Class.
7. Promote ASCA obedience in new ways.
“I am keeping a running list of about 30 other possible
Obedience Committee agenda topics for the future that have been
recommended by committee members or others.”
Question from Sue Graham: Is there a way for competitors from
other registries to start at the higher level in obedience and backfill
their qualifications, like can be done in agility? Answer: There

Officer Reports
is not currently a way to do that, but the committee will research
and discuss.
Question from Denise Creelman: Is there an option for FEO
for people who aren’t ready to move up to the higher level in
obedience? Answer: That topic was discussed in the past, but
there was not majority support for it.
Stockdog Committee
Chair Dan Sanderson gave the report.
Question from Tanya Johnson: What is the Stockdog Exchange?
Answer: It is a discussion list like the ASCA-L, but moderated
by the Stockdog Committee and used to discuss stockdog related
issues.
Tracking Committee
Jan Wesen gave the report for Chair Marja Teegelbeckers:
“It’s Nationals time. At the moment I write this report a lot
of people are preparing themselves and their Aussies for going to
the Nationals. I read on Facebook that people look forward to go
to the Nationals. But for me no Nationals. What a pity. I hope to
come in a few years.
“Last year I told that I hoped we could organize a tracking test
in Europe in 2016. And I can say that the first TD tracking Test
in Europe is a fact. On May 17, we had the first tracking Test in
Europe, organized by the Dutch Working Australian Shepherds
(DWAS). Jan Wesen was the Judge.
“It was a small test; only 3 dogs. For the first time, it was
o.k. It was a great day, weather was very nice, the tracking fields
were beautiful. The atmosphere very relaxed and all the 3 dogs
passed the tracking test. I learned a lot that day. I thank Jan for her
inspiration and for this successful day. Thank you. Next year there
will be a tracking test. Plans have been made.
“Also, ASC of Washington had their first TD and TDX
Tracking test. This test was taken on November 29 2015. It is
very nice that there are tracking test at new places.
“For the tracking committee, it was a quiet year. We did some
changes in the rulebook.
“In June, we said goodbye to Carol McQuade. Thanks, Carol,
for all the hard work for the past several years. In August, Maria
Kremers (from the Netherlands) has indicated she will stop.
Maria, thanks for your work in the Committee. We welcome Beth
McLehose as a new member of the Tracking Committee. Also, a
warm welcome to 4 new tracking judges: Micheal Roehrs for TD
level; Pia Paulsen, Sharon Jolly, and Ada McClory for all Levels.
“In the period of 6/1/2015 thru 5/31/2016 there were 7
tracking tests:
10/09/2015 – Mid South ASC (nationals) (TN)
11/29/2015 – ASC of Washington (WA)
12/16/2015 – ASC of San Diego County (CA)
01/24/2016 – ASC of Washington (WA)
02/17/2016 – ASC of San Diego County (CA)
03/06/2016 – Mid South ASC (TN)
05/17/2016 – Dutch Working Australian Shepherds (The
Netherlands)
“Results of these 7 tracking tests:
Titles received – Aussies: 12 TD, 3 TD-II, 3 TD-III
Titles received – Other Breeds: 4 TD, 1 TD-II
There were 18 Dogs Competing the Tracking Test
“The tracking committee is composed of a small but dedicated
group of trackers. We would love some more members, so if
you have an interest in tracking please send your resume to the
executive secretary.
“Further, there is a new Yahoo group named “ASCA Tracking
Enthusiasts” the purpose of this group is for people to share ideas
about the ASCA Tracking program.
“Remains me to say, good luck and lot of fun with your Aussie
at the Nationals and of course good luck in tracking.”
APPOINT COMMITTEE MEMBERS &
APPROVING JUDGES
The Board is considering ways to speed up the process by which
members are added to committees and judges are approved for a
program. Look for those changes in the future.
NEW ASCA PROGRAMS
Question from Denise Creelman: What is the process for adopting
a new program in ASCA? Answer: A committee would need to
be formed to research and bring a recommendation to the Board.
There have been notices in the Bulletin Board requesting those
with knowledge of nose work and barn hunt come forward to
potentially bring those programs into ASCA. Anyone interested
should send their resume to the Executive Secretary.
The Board is working on possibly incorporating dock diving.
NATIONALS SITES
Question from Dan Sanderson: What are the results of the
executive committee that was formed to pursue a fixed location
for Nationals? Answer: There will be a survey going out to the
membership to determine whether a fixed location or rotating sites
would be preferable to the way we award the hosting duties now.
Efforts to standardize the specialty are underway, and that may
lessen the burden on host clubs.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:21 p.m.

Comment: In looking to see if the sanctioning form included
the names of the Show Committee or Event Committee I read
the Show Coordinator’s Agreement. Affiliate Clubs are Affiliate
Clubs (Affiliate defined is: To adopt or accept as a member)
there is no need to add member as it is redundant. The original
statement refers to Show Rules and Regulations, Obedience
Rules, and Tracking Rules. It should say “all Program Rules”.
The original statement says the show coordinator should be in
possession of the current rule book, it should say in addition, the
rulebook is present at the show/trial. Our Bylaws are Bylaws, no
hyphenation required.
As far as the Stock Trial sanctioning, the last sentence should
be covered in the Judge’s contract and is not necessary here.

BD.16.131 REMOVE SECTION 12.6.1 FROM AGILITY
RULES
Approve: Unanimous
Motion carries.
Motion by Roberts; second by Gray: I, Jean Roberts, move to
remove the below section from the Agility Rulebook. Effective
upon approval from the ASCA Board.
29.3 SECTION 3 – MEMBERSHIP
29.3.5 The Board may also fill vacancies at other times during the
year if deemed appropriate by the Committee Liaison. Mid-term
vacancies will be announced in the Aussie Times.
a. No action shall occur to fill the vacancy until at least 45
days after publication in the Aussie Times
Replace with:
29.3.5
All committees not grandfathered/exempt are to follow the current
version of the Committee Procedures. (Effective February 2016)
Comment: Detailing how Program Committee resumes are
submitted, how Committee vacancies are filled, and where
vacancies are posted should help to clarify and expedite the
addition of members to Program Committees. Moving vacancy
announcements to ASCA’s social media accounts removes the
requirement to post in the AT and the subsequent 45 day waiting
period and should eliminate the 4-5-month time lapse when filling
committee vacancies.
Effective Date: Effective upon BOD approval.
BD.16.130 HONORING PAUL KIRK
Approve: Unanimous
Motion carries.
Motion by Silveira;second by Gray: I would like to ma ke the
following motion to become effective immediately upon approval.
I move to award Paul Kirk a lifetime ASCA Membership and a
half page ‘thank you’ ad in the Aussie Times in honor of his over
twenty-five years of service to ASCA. His notable service has
included being the first Agility Committee Chair where he was
instrumental in getting the ASCA Agility Program up and running.
He served as the Chair of the ASCA By-Laws Committee. He has
developed software for ASCA’s Agility and Stock dog trials and
Finals competitions that he freely has made available to ASCA
and her Affiliates.
Right after Paul sent this year’s Nationals Host Affiliate a
second edition of software to better record scores for the regular
trial and the Finals competition, he developed a serious health
problem. The prognosis for his recovery is not bright. I feel
strongly that we should honor those people who have spent talent
“12.6.1 General Information
All of the monies received from the finals entries minus the
expenses to the host club(s) for hosting the Agility finals and all
monies donated will be used for prizes for the Agility Finals only.
Any unused monies will revert to the Agility Finals Fund. The
Host Club is responsible for procuring rosettes and awards for the
Agility Finals.”
Rationale: This passage became obsolete with the passage of the
.25 additional fee for all runs, that is used for finals funding.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
Obedience Committee
OB.16.26 Eliminate restriction to show under a judge you

Approve: Unanimous
Motion carries.
Motion by Wesen: I move to accept this motion from the Obedience
Committee.
Motion title: Eliminate restriction to show under a judge you train
with
Effective date: The Effective Date of the motion will be the date
that the next Rule Book is printed following approval by the Board
of Directors and subsequent publication in the Aussie Times.
Maker of motion: Laurie Rubin
Seconder of motion: Sandy Walroth
Motion statement: I move to eliminate the restrictions on when
you can show under a judge that you have trained with.
Purpose for motion: This will bring the Obedience program
rules into alignment with ASCA’s Agility, Rally and Stock rules,
where judges are trusted to judge performances fairly, regardless
of whether they have previously taught or learned from the
competitor. This will help clubs reduce expenses for obedience
trials by being able to hire local judges without the loss of entries
from local students.
Parties affected by the motion: Judges, competitors and trial
committees will have more options.

Motion by Gibson to ratify the September email votes. Second by

Approve: DeChant, Gibson, King, Roberts, Silveira, Vest, Wesen;
Disapprove: 0, Abstain: 0, Absent: Gray; motion carries.
SEPTEMBER TREASURER’S REPORT
Wesen gave the report. She would like to see the budget and what
is produced out of QuickBooks be the same. Currently the budget
is broken down further than the QuickBooks report.
Gray joined the meeting at 6:11 p.m.
The way that the QuickBooks report is set up is based on
recommendation from the Auditor. The way the budget is set
up is based on what previous Boards have wanted to see broken
down. The Board will compare the 2016 and 2017 budgets and
report back to Wesen with any comments for the November
teleconference meeting.
Carnese joined the meeting at 6:19 p.m.
SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
Counsel does not believe that ASCA should attempt to create
rules directing what can be posted on social media by ASCA
members. While ASCA can attempt to control the content placed
on ASCA-L and the ASCA Facebook page, doing so would require
moderators. He recommends that the moderator be a member who
is independent of the Board, with the authority to limit or even
ban content.
Letters of complaint regarding statements made on social media
may be placed in a judge’s file. The files are internal documents
for the club’s use only. ASCA judges may be held accountable for
any negative or inappropriate statements regarding ASCA.
Registry Rule 2.4
Counsel recommends that the first paragraph of Registry Rule 2.4
be modified to read as follows:
“Each person who owns or breeds dogs which are registered
or eligible for registration with the Australian Shepherd Club
of America must maintain complete and accurate records as
provided in this Rule. Such records shall be maintained by such
person for a period of at least 10-years after the date of death of
each such dog. If, however, such dog’s sperm has been stored for
subsequent breedings after the death of the dog, such records must
be maintained for a period of at least 5 years after the last use of
such sperm. All such records shall be made available to ASCA
upon ASCA’s request.”
BD.16.134 CHANGE TO REGISTRY RULE 2.4
Motion by Vest to accept this change to registry rule 2.4, effective
immediately. Second by DeChant.
Approve: DeChant, Gibson, Gray, King, Roberts, Silveira, Vest,
Wesen; Disapprove: 0, Abstain: 0, Absent: 0; motion carries.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROTOCOL
Counsel recommends modifying the “Actions Detrimental to the
Interest of ASCA” paragraph in the Conflict Resolution Protocol
to read as follows:
“The protocols outlined in this document are intended to help
parties resolve conflicts associated with their participation and
membership in ASCA. It is the duty of the ASCA Board of Directors
to be active protectionists regarding ASCA. Membership in
ASCA is a privilege and not a right. A member may be disciplined
or membership may be suspended by the Board of Directors for
intentional actions taken by such member which are detrimental
to the interests of ASCA or its programs, policies or objectives, as
determined by the Board of Directors.”
The Board discussed shortening the length of time someone
must bring a request for resolution. It is currently 21 days from
discovery, but most were in favor of shortening it to 5 days.
AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017 29

Vest and Gibson will bring these changes to the Dispute Rules
committee and return with a revision for November.
Officer Reports
Vest will come up with language for the November meeting, and
will find out where to donate in memory of Ms. Mahoney.
Carnese left the meeting at 7:06 p.m.
SYSTEM UPGRADE
There is a meeting with FrogSlayer on the 27th to go over status
of project. The process for approving LEP dogs is underway in
the new system. LEP applications are reviewed by a committee
of DeChant, Janet Kelly, and Melissa Borde. Roberts questioned
how the pedigrees will be checked. Vest will get the process from
the Office Manager and report back.
SYMPATHY CARDS
Linda Mahoney was an avid supporter of ASCA and she will be
missed. Vest proposed sending a sympathy card to her family, and
the Board approved.
The Board would like to make an addition to the Policy Book that
would provide for sympathy cards to be sent out to these deceased
members that have gone above and beyond for ASCA’s programs.
ADDING NSF AND SUSPENSION LISTS TO WEBSITE
The Board discussed adding the NSF and suspension lists to
the member’s only section of the website. These lists would be
automatically updated with the new system, and would be more
up-to-date than the lists sent to clubs with show paperwork.
BD.16.135 Suspended Persons List and NSF List on Website
Motion by Roberts to put the suspended and NSF list on the
website behind the members only portal, effective immediately.
Second by Vest.
Approve: DeChant, Gibson, Gray, King, Roberts, Silveira, Vest,
Wesen; Disapprove: 0, Abstain: 0, Absent: 0; motion carries.
SELECTION OF SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT
Vest will work with the Webmaster to come up with policy for
social media content.

Working Description of the Australian Shepherd
INTRODUCTION
The Australian Shepherd was developed in the 19th and 20th centuries as a general-purpose ranch and farm dog in the American West, where a tough, enduring,
versatile stockdog with an honest work ethic was required. His usual work included moving very large herds of sheep and cattle from summer to winter grazing
grounds and back, flushing range cattle out of heavy brush, and moving livestock in tight quarters such as chutes and alleys. These kinds of jobs are still where
Australian Shepherds excel and are most valued.
The Australian Shepherd is categorized as one of the Loose-Eyed breeds of stockdogs. He is a confident, authoritative worker with a unique style that differs from
Strong-Eyed breeds. He is agile, upright and close-working, and exhibits these distinctive traits while maintaining the ability and versatility to control all types of
livestock in an efficient and deliberate manner.
The Australian Shepherd excels at controlling large and/or slow-moving flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, and is highly regarded for his superior ability to effectively
manage livestock in tightly confined spaces. The Australian Shepherd is powerful and intense by nature easily learning the appropriate force and distance needed
for the type of livestock being worked. Utilizing a loose-eyed approach to stock, a working Australian Shepherd will often display wear, grip, and/or an authoritative
bark, as well as eye when necessary, to handle their stock.
WEAR
The Australian Shepherd’s wear is smooth, balanced, and ground covering as the dog moves easily from side to side at the back of the stock, keeping his herd or
flock together and moving forward. This is a very natural movement for an Australian Shepherd, and one that he can continue doing for hours at a time.
GRIP
The Australian Shepherd will only use grip to move reluctant or challenging stock. The ideal Australian Shepherd naturally grips at both the head and heel, coming
in low and hard on the heels to move cattle, or going to the head and gripping the nose or poll to turn an animal back to the herd.
BARK
The Australian Shepherd may bark to move stock or to face a challenge. His bark is conservative and should be authoritative when used. While the Australian
Shepherd’s grip typically affects a single animal, his bark can influence a whole herd, and is most effective when stock has come to a standstill such as in crowded
alleyways. The Australian Shepherd’s bark is particularly useful when gathering cattle from thick brush.
EYE
Since the Australian Shepherd is a loose-eyed working dog, he prefers to use his authority and presence to move livestock. However, if challenged, he may use eye
in a direct and deliberate way until the challenge is over.
30 AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017

INTRODUCTION
First and foremost, the Australian Shepherd is a true working stockdog, and
anything that detracts from his usefulness as such is undesirable. The most
important breed characteristics are overall moderation in size and bone, balance
with correct proportions, and sound movement.
GENERAL APPEARANCE
The Australian Shepherd is a well-balanced dog of medium size and bone.
He is attentive and animated, showing strength and stamina combined with
unusual agility. Slightly longer than tall, he has a coat of moderate length and
coarseness with coloring that offers variety and individuality in each specimen. An
identifying characteristic is his natural or docked bobtail. In each sex, masculinity
or femininity is well defined.
CHARACTER
The Australian Shepherd is primarily a working dog of strong herding and guardian
instincts. He is an intelligent, exceptional companion. He is versatile and easily
trained: performing his assigned tasks with great style and enthusiasm. He is
reserved with strangers but does not exhibit shyness. This unusually versatile
stockdog works with the power and quickness to control difficult cattle as well as
the ability to move sheep without unnecessary roughness. Although an aggressive,
authoritative worker, viciousness toward people or animals is intolerable.
HEAD
The head is clean-cut, strong, dry, and in proportion to the body. The topskull
is flat to slightly rounded; its length and width each equal to the length of the
muzzle. The muzzle is of medium width and depth and tapers gradually to a
rounded tip, without appearing heavy or snipey. Lips are close fitting, meeting at
the mouthline. The toplines of the muzzle and topskull appear close to parallel.
The stop is moderate but well defined.
(A) TEETH
A full complement of strong white tooth meet in a scissors bite. A level bite
is a fault. Teeth broken or missing by accident are not penalized. All other
missing teeth should be faulted to the degree that they deviate from a full
complement of 42 teeth.
Disqualifications: Undershot bite, Overshot bite, Wry Mouth
(B) EYES
The eyes are very expressive, showing attentiveness and intelligence. They
are clear, almond-shaped, of moderate size, and set a little obliquely, neither
prominent nor sunken. The pupils are dark, well defined, and perfectly positioned.
Eye color is brown, blue, amber; or any variation or combination, including flecks
and marbling. All eye colors are acceptable in combination with all coat colors.
Faults: Any deviation from almond-shaped eyes.
(C) EARS
The ears are set high on the side of the head, are triangular, of moderate size
and slightly rounded at the tip. The tip of the ear reaches to, but not further
than, the inside corner of the nearest eye. At full attention, the ears should lift
from one-quarter (1/4) to one-half (1/2) above the base and break forward
or slightly to the side.
Severe Faults: Prick ears; overly large ears; low set ears with no lift from
the base.
Officer Reports
Australian Shepherd Breed Standard (Revised)
Effective June 1, 2013
NECK AND BODY
The neck is firm, clean, and in proportion to the body. It is of medium length
and slightly arched at the crest, setting well into the shoulders. The body is firm
and muscular. The topline appears level at a natural four-square stance. The
bottom line carries well back with a moderate tuck-up. The chest is deep and
strong with ribs well sprung. The loin is strong and broad when viewed from the
top. The croup is moderately sloping. The Tail is straight, not to exceed four (4)
inches, natural bobtail or docked.
FOREQUARTERS
The shoulder blades (scapula) are well laid back, with the upper arm (humerus)
slightly longer than the shoulder blade. Both the upper arm and shoulder blade
are well muscled. The forelegs are straight and strong, perpendicular to the
ground, with moderate bone. The point of the elbow is set under the withers
and is equidistant from the withers to the ground. Pasterns are short, thick, and
strong, but still flexible, showing a slight angle when viewed from the side. Feet
are oval shaped, compact, with close knit, well-arched toes. Pads are thick and
resilient; nails short and strong. Dewclaws may be removed.
HINDQUARTERS
Width of hindquarters is approximately equal to the width of the forequarters at
the shoulder. The angulation of the pelvis and upper thigh (femur) corresponds
to the angulation of the shoulder blade and upper arm. The upper and lower
thigh are well muscled. Stifles are clearly defined; hock joints moderately bent.
The metatarsi are short, perpendicular to the ground, and parallel to each
other when viewed from the rear. Feet are oval shaped, compact, with closeknit,
well-arched toes. Pads are thick and resilient; nails short and strong. Rear
dewclaws are removed.
COAT
The coat is of medium length and texture, straight to slightly wavy, and weather
resistant. The undercoat varies in quantity with climate. Hair is short and smooth
on the head, outside of ears, front of forelegs, and below the hocks. Backs of
forelegs are moderately feathered and breeches are moderately full. There is a
moderate mane, more pronounced in dogs than bitches. The Australian Shepherd
is a working dog and is to be shown with a natural coat.
Severe Faults: Non-typical coats such as excessively long; overabundant/
profuse; wiry; or curly.
COLOR
All colors are strong, clear and rich. The recognized colors are blue merle, red
(liver) merle, solid black, and solid red (liver) all with or without white markings
and/or tan (copper) points with no order of preference. The blue merle and
black have black pigmentation on nose, lips and eye-rims. Reds and red merles
have liver pigmentation on nose, lips and eye rims. Butterfly nose should not
be faulted under one year of age. On all colors the areas surrounding the ears
and eyes are dominated by color other than white. The hairline of a white collar
does not exceed the point at the withers.
Disqualifications: Other than recognized colors. White body splashes. Dudley
nose.
GAIT
Smooth, free, and easy, exhibiting agility of movement with a well-balanced
natural stride. As speed increases, both front and rear feet converge equally
toward the centerline of gravity beneath the body. The top line remains firm
and level. When viewed from the side the trot is effortless, exhibiting facility of
movement rather than a hard driving action. Exaggerated reach and drive at the
trot are not desirable. Gait faults shall be penalized according to the degree of
deviation from the ideal.
SIZE
Preferred height at the withers for males is 20 to 23 inches; that for females is
18 to 21 inches, however, quality is not to be sacrificed in favor of size.
OTHER DISQUALIFICATIONS: Monorchidism and cryptorchidism.

list at ASCAAgilityEnthusiasts@yahoogroups.com. The list is available for
questions from competitors, rule discussions, ideas for trials and a place
for the Agility Committee to ask opinions of the agility community. Anyone
having questions or comments may do so on the list or by contacting any
Agility Committee member. Their email addresses are on the ASCA website.
Conformation Committee
Conformation Committee has a newsletter (free to join) where we post
motions that are under discussion. The CC looks for member input on
motions. Go to ASCA_CC_Newsletter@yahoogroups.com to join.
History Committee
The History Committee needs members interested in helping to preserve
our ASCA past and or just learn more about it and possibly share it with
their local Affiliates and the general public. You can send your resume’s
to Kalla at executive.secretary@asca.org.
A Call for Additional Members for the ASCA Legislative Committee
The Legislative Committee is in need of members. These members should
be
• Familiar with the animal rights agenda that threatens the right to
own animals including pets, service animals and domestic livestock
• Willing to keep up to date on the progress of problematic legislation
at the Federal level and in their respective states
• Immediately available when critical legislative initiatives surface and
be able to respond and work with the other committee members so
the committee is able to meet time-sensitive deadlines
ASCA Legislative Committee Mission Statement
The Legislative Committee will serve the membership of ASCA by
providing education, up to date information regarding legislation
affecting pet ownership, and foster communication with the public as well
as global, national, state, and local decision makers in such matters. The
Committee advocates responsible animal ownership and will inform the
membership of any threat to our animal ownership rights.
The Process
Typically the committee will become informed of some legislative threat,
usually backed by animal rights groups. Committee members need to
read the proposed legislation, often onerous with vague definitions, and
respond by a certain deadline, usually with very little time. Members
then need to draft ASCA’s comments or position statements. Since we
only communicate by e-mail, this can be a fast and furious process
of data gathering, researching the comments of fellow organizations,
possible communication with the legislative or deciding body and
drafting our response – all with constant re-writes and editing. Once
we feel we have the final draft, it must be vetted by the BOD and
legal counsel, which can entail more time and editing. Meeting the
comment deadlines for pending legislation and getting information to
our membership so they can also comment is critical.
If you are willing to serve the very valuable work of this ASCA
committee, please respond to Susan Beals, Committee Chair at susan@
cailleachaussies.com.
Obedience Committee
As of June 2016 the rule on cone placement in the ODX class changed.
The cone shall be placed three to six feet to the left or right of the direct
path from dog to handler. It may be placed midway between the dog
and the handler or up to six feet forward or backward from the midline.
In addition to Beginner Novice there is now a Graduate Novice
Optional Titling class in the obedience program. It is designed to be
a useful step between Novice and Open. Dogs can be entered in this
class and any other Regular class at the same trial.
Starting in June 2017 clubs will have the option to allow bitches
in season to show in regular obedience trials. The rules for allowing
bitches in season to show in obedience mirror the current Nationals
rules, including
1. Stating in the premium whether bitches in season will be allowed
2. Crating bitches in season at least fifty feet from the obedience ring
3. Showing bitches in season at the end of the trial
4. Requiring bitches in season to wear pants
5. Having bitches in season do stays separately
Stockdog Committee
The stock dog exchange is still up and running. This is a great place for
active members to discuss problems and changes within the Stock Dog
Program. To join this group, email; thestockdogexchange-subscribe@
yahoogroups.com.
Any ASCA Stock Judge willing to volunteer for the Stock Dog
Committee please send a resume to the Executive Secretary. Executive.

years working with his first Aussie. Jeremy Moye and his dog
K-J Mitts competed as a Working Junior Handler at the National
Specialty. He placed 4 th in the Open Sheep division, 5 th in Started
Ducks, 1 st place Jr. Handler Ducks, 1 st in Jr. Handler Sheep, and was
awarded High Combined Jr. Handler in Stock. J.R.Cox is a new
member of our club and also to ASCA. He attended the National
Specialty for the first time with his dog “Caffrey.” He participated
in Agility, Conformation, MVA, Obedience, Rally, and Stock. He
had an amazing Nationals with too many awards to mention and
was in the top 30 in the Most Versatile Aussie competition.
We are looking forward to another fun-filled year in 2017 and

Well, the club survived hosting the 2016 ASCA Nationals, in
September. Talk about a busy effort – and it seriously took a village.
We had support from other ASCA affiliates, 4-H clubs, AKC kennel
clubs, plus many member’s friends and families. My hat goes off
to Rhonda Silveira, who was the show chair for this – and gave
up the better part of her life for two years putting it together, I’m
sure. Believe me, I felt overwhelmed, both by the help and effort
of all my support staff in obedience, and by the sheer amount of
work. (I have always thought myself appreciative of what goes into
hosting a Nationals – but was I way, way under!) As obedience
chair, my view was pretty much my computer screen, or something
that needed to be done – so I am not at all qualified to comment
on any of the rest – I think I said hello to people I should – and I
hope didn’t “snub” anyone. I will be so happy to be a contestant
at the next one I get to! Far more time to play! I fell in love with
the awards I saw – we voted on them mostly from pictures – and I
have to say, our logo – done by Marilyn Cherry – was stunning! The
qualifying medallions had the logo – looked super, in my opinion!
Is it in spite of all the effort or in addition to the effort? Not sure
if anyone can say – but several club members had very successful
show seasons leading up to and past the nationals.
Because of the Nationals, we did not host the Calapooia
Classic this year (crazy we may be, insane – looks like not!) since
that would have taken place a month before the Nationals! Really
missed that in a way, but we did hold both “smaller” events, one
in March and one in August. These events include conformation,
obedience and rally.
As always – WASC is happy to welcome new members –
Aussies loved, but not required – and looking forward to the next
year!!

Greetings from the Conformation Committee
We have been discussing the 3 items that the board wants us to
work on for the next year. We have had several discussions about
this and have a list of items. But we need to still narrow it down to
3.
1. Draw system for Conformation finals judges: General
discussion (nothing finalized yet) is to divide the county into 3
areas with including Europe with the eastern section and have
the office draw 3 names from each area for the host club(s)
to hire from. This is similar to what the Stock venue uses for
finals judges. There are many details to work out yet. Your
input is greatly appreciated on this possible item.
2. Update the judge’s books. There is inconsistency across the
board with the judge books. This project would entail creating
consistency across our regular and National Specialty books.
Again your input would be appreciated.
3. Update our Breeder judge requirements. These have not been
looked at in a long time and needs some updating.
4. Rules 7.6 and 9.10. These are the rules that deal with who can
show to what judge and what dogs can be shown to a judge.
We have worked on this rule off and on over the years.
5. Online judge education. This is something with the advent of
the new website, could be possible. General information could
be found there along with the current and past judge education
seminars that are presented at each national specialty.
At the last National Specialty, the CC presented its latest
seminar, Faults and Disqualifying faults, A discussion. We do have
copies of the handouts available from the office. Please contact Ray
for a copy.
It was well attended and those that attended had a notation put
in their file of their attendance.
On another note, remember our affiliate clubs are who can
sanction our events. Many are small with few volunteers. Please
join your local affiliate club and volunteer your time!
As always, the CC appreciates any input form the membership.
We do have a few openings. If you are interested in working on
this or any committee, please send your resume to the executive
secretary.
Obedience Committee
Laurie Rubin, Committee Chair, earthlaurie@sonic.net.
The 2016 Nationals are over and seemed successful. The
Obedience Committee has been seeking input on a good time to
schedule an obedience judge’s seminar at future Nationals. At
recent seminars Committee members have presented demos of new
classes or rule changes, aided by competitors who are interested.
When time allowed, the presenters have sought input from
attendees on Obedience Committee topics. The 2016 Obedience
Seminar took place ringside after the Obedience Finals awards.
These ran later than expected, plus the award pictures involved
lengthy line waits and really delayed things. This put the seminar
off until rather late in the day. It had been scheduled for two hours
but was shortened to one hour. We would love to not have this
happen in future.
There are additional issues that we would love your input
on. Are there any comments on the bitches in season (OBIS) that
competed in Nationals Obedience in Albany and how that was
handled? We ended up with three coming in during the week. We
are very interested in feedback from exhibitors. On site feedback
seemed positive, but was limited. Remember, starting in June 2017,
there will be a new approach, in which clubs have the option of
allowing OBIS to compete at regular obedience trials, especially
at Nationals Pre-trials.
The rules for allowing bitches in season to show in obedience
mirror the current Nationals rules, including:
1. Stating in the premium whether bitches in season will be
allowed
2. Crating bitches in season at least fifty feet from the obedience
ring
3. Showing bitches in season at the end of the trial
4. Requiring bitches in season to wear pants
5. Having bitches in season do stays separately
Many of you will applaud the committee’s efforts to change the
time period for not showing to a judge with whom you have trained
or whose clinic you have attended. The ASCA Board of Directors
voted down our first motion to decrease the time from 12 months to
30 days. However, they subsequently voted to approve removing
the restriction entirely. The thought was that since other ASCA
performance programs do not require abstaining from showing to
a trainer, we would be fully justified in following suit. Hopefully,
this will help clubs utilize more local judges without adversely
affecting entries.
Another ‘new’ change is that we will be allowing wooden
articles for utility. This is completed and was approved by the Board
for the June 2017 rule book. Our committee debated as to whether
this should be considered an emergency change for a January rule
book printing. The majority believed that while important, it really
wasn’t a critical emergency.
In addition – it has been noted that there is a declining trend in
numbers of ASCA obedience trials for the last five program years.
In spite of the decrease in ASCA trials and the decrease in entries
in other organizations’ trials, the number of participants in ASCA
obedience has increased for the last two years. Could we please

The Alaska Australian Shepherd Club had a busy year in
2016. We held several weekends of rally, a couple of obedience
trials, a stock trial and an agility trial. We also hosted a Jan Wesen
Stockdog clinic. Being a small club, we rely heavily on other breeds
to support our events and we truly appreciate the dogs and owners
that compete and help out.
Below are some of the highlights of the past year:
• Jenni Van Muijen and Chevy (Ioka Like A Rock STDsd CDX
REM REX RS-E JS-E GS-E) competed in Open Obedience
Finals at ASCA Nationals this year placing 4 th ! Chevy and
Jenni also qualified in MVA for the first time placing 14 th

already looking forward to next year in Texas!
Paula Lovett unexpectedly lost her amazing girl Sage (A-
CH HOF Medlaion Sage Brush Annie STDds JV-O DNA-VP) to
cancer in February. Sage leaves behind a legacy of 2 BIS winners,
2 WTCHs, and many other performance- and conformation-titled
offspring that helped make her a HOF dam. She was the 2014 ASCA
National Altered WB and Generations Winner. Sage will forever
be missed by Paula and her many friends and admirers.

ASC OF IDAHO
Susan Severns, Affiliate Representative. slidingsaussies@gmail.

We had a great year! We finished out 2015 with a Christmas
party that was well-attended and everyone had a lot of fun.
In 2016, we started the third weekend in May with our Spring
Stockdog Trial the “Idaho Classic.” It was held in Kuna, Idaho,
at Temptation Arena. On Friday, we did post advanced cattle and
sheep and had several trialers with some very nice scores. On
Saturday and Sunday we ran courses E and F with cattle and sheep,
and A and B with ducks. We were able to obtain some great sponsors
that allowed us to give out four buckles to our competitors.
We had dogs, handlers, and stock handlers in attendance from
Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, and Canada. Our judges
were Betty Williams and Dana McKenzie.
We are a fairly small club, yet in September seven of our
members attended the National Specialty and Finals in Albany,
Oregon, as competitors, spectators, volunteers, and one member
was a judge. Our competing members participated in Obedience,
Rally, Stock, Agility, and Conformation. We cancelled our 2016 Fall
Stockdog Trial because of the conflict with the National Specialty
being on the same weekend that we normally have our stockdog
trial.
Our Fall Stockdog Trial will return in 2017 and we are
considering adding some additional competitions such as
conformation, rally, or obedience.
ASC of Idaho also put on an agility trial in October at the same
location. Sue Graham was our judge and everyone seemed to enjoy
themselves. Club members, spectators, and competitors jumped in
to help and it ran extremely smoothly, with quite a few fun courses.
At a short meeting after the trial, we elected our officers for the
following year.
In November we had our educational meeting on “Nutrition
for the Performance Dog,” and received some good information
about dry kibble, raw foods, and supplements.
We are looking forward to 2017 and making new friends and
meeting competitors from other clubs. Our club will once again be
hosting the “Idaho Classic” Stockdog trial May 19-21. If you are
not on our mailing list let us know and we’ll be glad to add you.
ASC OF MONTANA
Tom Morarre, Affiliate Representative, morarre@msn.com;
www.ascofmt.org
This year as I write this report in November, we are enjoying
an extension of lovely fall weather here in Montana. But by the
time you read this report there will be several inches (or perhaps
feet!) of snow on the ground and the days will be very short. I’m
sure we will all be looking forward to spring and next year’s trialing
season. And we have another great one planned for 2017.
In part because of the success in 2016 – but more likely because
we like to trial so much – we plan on holding four trial weekends
and one mid-week post advanced trial in 2017. We plan to offer
another Farm Trial in June and another Post Advanced and a Ranch
AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017 43

Trial in August. Once again we will host a Betty Williams stockdog
clinic before our May trial. Look for the full event schedule on our
website: www.ascofmt.org. Also you can check the Aussie Times
Coming Events section for information on our events.
2016 was another busy year here in Big Sky country, and our
club put on five successful weekends of stockdog trials and one
stockdog clinic. Jim McKay also represented the club at the Scottish
Festival in Hamilton. He took some sheep and Guss and Rusty
down to Hamilton and gave demonstrations of sheep herding for
all of the attendees. Folks said it was the highlight of the festival.
It was good publicity for our breed in this part of the country.
This year we worked hard to continue our tradition of putting
on well-run trials with good stock, and we had plenty of great
dogs and handlers participating in our trials. All of our trials were
successful and everyone reported enjoying these events. Thanks to
all attendees for their continued support of our trials. Thanks to the
volunteers who set stock, time, scribe, and handle the paperwork.
Your help makes our trials successful. And thanks to the wonderful
judges who came out to Montana to participate in our trialing
program and provide their expertise. This year’s stockdog judges
were, Larry Teaff and Deb Conroy; Sharon Simmons and John
Knepper; Brad Warren and Becky Beckmann; Marti Parrish and
Dana Mackenzie and Marie Nagano; John Knepper and Betty
Williams.
Our first event in 2016 was a Betty Williams stockdog clinic
held on May 11 th and 12 th . The clinic filled early on. Several of the
participants joined our club as new members. Following the clinic
we held our Spring Turnout – three days of AM/PM stockdog
trials, and although this trial did not fill, there were 28 dogs entered
and plenty of good competition. Jim McKay was course director and
the trial flowed smoothly thanks in no small part to the complete
cooperation of all of the, competitors and diligent workers. Connie
and John Knepper and Pam and Madison McKay set stock, and
Pam and her mom kept us fed. Thanks to everyone who helped
and special thanks to our judges, Larry Teaff and Deb Conroy, for
helping us to have a successful competition. And thanks to Barb
and Mike Miller for hosting these events at their wonderful facility
in Frenchtown, MT.
Weekends awards included a silver buckle, metal sculptures
and were awarded as follows (daily awards are posted on our
website):
• High Combined Aussie WTCH: WTCH Legends Indigo Girl
of Oxbow and Barb Moe
• High in Trial: WTCH W Lazy J Yippie Ki Yi Yo (Ki) and
Tom Morarre – 121 in sheep
• High Combined Stock Dog: WTCH Legends Indigo Girl of
Oxbow and Barb Moe
This year, the Frenchtown Fling, held June 10 th -12 th , included
AM/PM Farm trials (our first) on Friday. They were a lot of fun
and many titles were earned. The trial did not fill (19 dogs entered)
but there were several good dogs there and the competition was
stiff. The weather was nice and we all enjoyed ourselves. Connie
Knepper, Pam McKay, Amy Bradley, and Madison McKay did a
great job setting stock. Jim McKay was course director making
sure that everything ran smoothly. Sharon Simmons and John
Knepper judged these trials and they did a great job at the judges

• High Combined Stock Dog: WTCH Legends Indigo Girl of

In our July trial entries were lower than usual, but with 16
dogs entered there was plenty of good competition including some
amazing runs. And we were most happy to have Amy Bradly back
setting stock. Pam and Madison were on it as well, and the stock
was always ready for the next competitor. Good job, ladies!
The Cow Country Classic is held every year on the weekend
after the 4 th of July weekend, and this event has become our
showcase trial. This year was no exception and a lot of good dog/
handler teams showed up from as far away as Arizona, California,
Nevada, and Canada. Jim McKay was the course director and put
on a great trial. Thanks to Brad Warren and Becky Beckmann for
doing a splendid job of judging. The livestock was honest and
everyone had a good time. Pam and Gaye (Pam’s mom) prepared
the extraordinary meals and kept everyone fed. Thanks again to
Barb and Mike Miller for providing the facilities and the stock.
Silver buckles, traveling trophies and metal sculptures were
awarded to the weekend winners. The Silver buckle winners were
as follows:

website in the results reports on our website
The Summer Roundup, our August stockdog trial, was held
on the 22 nd - 24 th at Betty Williams’ ranch outside of Lewistown,
MT. Betty was the course director and, as usual, she kept things
moving along. This year the weather was mixed and we had some
rain on Saturday. Then the weather improved and it was nice on
Sunday and Monday. The attendance was exceptional and we had
to add a third judge in order to handle all of the runs with 24 dogs
entered. Luckily Marie Nagano was available and agreed to step in
and handle the extra entries at this trial. We ran course D and F and
there were lots of good runs and certain dogs that we had not seen
before were very impressive. Competitors came from California,
Canada, Idaho, Illinois, Nevada, Utah, Washington, and, of course,
Montana. The stock was honest and ran well. There were a number
of good dog/handler teams in each division who put down great
runs.
This event included a ranch trial again this year, both sheep
and cattle, and everyone did very well. The course at Betty’s is
always fun and it reflects the challenges faced on working ranches
every day. When one completes the course successfully, it is a real
indicator that the dog/handler team is a worthy one.
Weekend high awards included a silver buckle, metal
sculptures, and other prizes. The overall winners were:
• High in Trial: 120 on cattle – Legends Indigo Girl of Oxbow
and Barb Moe
• High Combined Aussie Non-WTCH – Twin Oaks F5
Tornado and Kristin Perron
• High Combined Aussie WTCH – Legends Indigo Girl of
Oxbow and Barb Moe
• Most Promising Started Aussie – Frog Peak Mighty Swift
and Irene Manley
• High Combined Stock Dog – Legends Indigo Girl of Oxbow
and Barb Moe
• High Score Ranch Trial Cattle – 93.5 Legends Indigo Girl
of Oxbow and Barb Moe
• High Score Ranch Trial Sheep – 96 Lucerno’s Echo and
Carol Lucerno
Daily winners, who also received metal sculptures, are listed
in the results reports on our website.
This trial which is sandwiched between two of Betty’s cattle
camps is always a lot of fun. This year we had music around the
campfire after the trial was over. It was a special time.
Our club wishes to express its appreciation for the efficient
way Marti Parrish and Dana Mackenzie, Marie Nagano judged
the arena trials. The Ranch Trials filled and Dana had a very long
day judging. Every competitor gave it their best and several of
the dogs earned their ranch titles. Everyone had a good time, and
the trials ran smoothly thanks to the help provided by the many
volunteers who built courses, timed, scribed, and set stock. Quite a
few of these volunteers were from other clubs and we were really
delighted with the way everyone pitched in to help. A special thanks
to Becky Parker, Claudia Yearsley, Christie Williams, and Magda
Gmitrzak, who once again spent hours in the pens setting stock.

And Terri Jones deserves a round of enthusiastic applause for the
wonderful meals she prepared for us. We would like to express
our appreciation to all of those who participated, both workers and
contestants, for making this trial a big success. Finally, thanks to
Betty and John Williams for allowing us to have this trial on their
beautiful cattle ranch.
This year our club decided to squeeze in one extra trial after
Nationals and on the weekend of October 21-23 we held the
Frenchtown Finale. John Knepper and Betty Williams came over
to judge these events and everyone agreed that they did a fine job.
We started the weekend off with AM/PM Farm Trials on Friday
followed by AM/PM arena trials on Saturday and Sunday. We ran
cows and sheep on Course G and Course H. These new courses
are fun, but course G needs some tweaking on the placement of
obstacle three.
The weather looked questionable but the rain held off pretty
well during the day. However, with the rain at night and the rain
that preceded the trial date, the pens were really mucky. We slogged
through mud for most of the weekend. However, spirits were high
at this trial, which to our surprise, filled with 29 dogs entered.
Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and there were some
really nice runs. The Farm Trial was a big success for almost
everyone, and we plan on offering another day of Farm Trials next
June. A special thanks and applause goes out to all of the stock
handlers including Irene Manley, Jim McKay, Rachael Burnett, and
Madison McKay. I think I even saw John Knepper in the pens for a
while. It was a muddy mess in those pens but everyone persevered
and the stock came out on time. The food prepared by Pam and
Gaye helped to keep everyone’s spirits high. Sunday lived up to
its name and we had really nice weather to end the trial.
The Farm Trial High Awards all went to one handler. A big
congratulation goes out to Sharon Simmons.
• High Advanced Score: Westwind’s Princess Warrior and
Sharon Simmons – 122.5 on cattle
• High Open Score: Touchstone No Illusions and Sharon
Simmons – 116 on sheep
• High Combined Cattle: Westwind’s Princess Warrior and
Sharon Simmons – 239.5
• High Combined Sheep: Touchstone No Illusions and Sharon
Simmons – 230
When all the runs were finished and everyone was thoroughly
tired of the mud, the weekend awards were handed out. (Daily
awards can be downloaded from our website.)
• High Combined Aussie WTCH: Westwind Gear Jammin’
Diesel and Dan Sanderson – 1181.5
• Reserve High Combined Aussie WTCH: W Lazy J Yippie
Ki Yi Yo and Tom Morarre – 1105
• High Combined Aussie Non-WTCH: Lucky Rose No Lookin
Back and Barb Moe – 1121
• High in Trial: W Lazy J Yippie Ki Yi Yo and Tom Morarre
– 119 on ducks
A big thank you goes out to all of the folks who worked to
make our events successful. Stock handlers, timers, scribes, and last
but certainly not least, the food preparation folks are all essential
to making a successful trial. The club relies on the Miller and
AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017 45

the Williams families to provide wonderful trialing venues and
facilities. Our thanks go out to them for the most important role
that they play in the success of our trialing program.
Of course, there would be no trial without judges and
contestants, but the people that support a trial are often working in
the background and it is important to recognize their contribution.
Here are just a few of the folks who helped out this year: Pam
McKay, her mom Gaye, Madison McKay, Irene Manley, Amy
Bradly, Connie Knepper, John Knepper, Rachel Burnett, Glenda
Teaff, Kim Fields, Alli Keever, Becky Parker, Claudia Yearsley,
Magda Gmitrzak, Terri Jones, Gina Larson, Penny Kukuk, Jim
McKay, Tom Morarre, and Betty Williams
All of our club members have been working hard to put on
good events and at the same time to improve our skills in the trial
arena. We have been working with our current dogs over that past
eight years to reach a point that we could compete nationally with
the best.

Tom and Django placed third in Started Ducks in the pre-trial and
also took third place in Started Ducks in the National Trial.
Many of our club members are looking forward to the 2017
National Specialty in Texas. It is a long trip, but if the weather
holds it will be an enjoyable one. We hope to see all of our friends
there next November.
For the past several years ASC of Montana has focused
primarily on stock events. We will continue to offer several
stockdog trials, including farm trials, post advanced trials and a
ranch trial again this year. You can always find information about
club events on our website: www.ascofmt.org. Come and trial
with us and then extend your trip to visit and explore some of the
natural wonders that await you in Montana. We look forward to
having you visit our beautiful state. When you come, don’t forget
your fishing gear.
ASC OF ROGUE VALLEY
Sally Davis, Affiliate Representative, dbardaussies@q.com
OH BOY!!!! Well, it was another great year for ASC of Rogue
Valley in Southern Oregon, on the banks of the mighty Rogue
River. We might be a small club but we sure have a great group of
hard-working members.
Many of our members are new to our club and also new to the
world of dog showing and training. What a thrill it has been to watch
these newbies do some really exciting things with their dogs. ASC
of Rogue Valley held four weekend Obedience and Rally shows
during the past ASCA year. The first weekend show was June 6
& 7, 2015, the second was Sept. 21 & 22, 2015, and after the first
of the year April 9 & 10, 2016, was our third show. Finally, the
3rd weekend of May we had our biggest show by combining our
Obedience and Rally with a great Conformation show.
We are so happy to acknowledge the following judges; Paulina
Verzeano, Jill Perry, Katie van de Sandt, Heidi Iverson, and Betty
Fisher for Obedience and Rally, and Marge Stovall, Marlene
Constance, Paula McDermid, Shawna Beaty, and Carolyn Miller
for Conformation. Without each of you we would not have these
fun shows. The Rally trials had a total of 150 entries with 138
qualifying. The Obedience trials had a total of 169 entries with 82
qualifying. Our conformation show this year was the biggest ever.
Entrants came from Washington, California, Idaho, Nevada, and
of course, Oregon.
Our club did something new this year when we put on a
proofing seminar. We had a great turn-out, and everyone was
able to get involved regardless of their training level. For many
participants this was a new experience. Once the importance of
proofing was understood, and we made it a part of our training
program, we began to see how valuable it is. We have continued
to do Show N Go’s the Friday afternoon before our shows. Many
times this is the only time we can train in a show venue. Our 2015
- 2016 year ended with being given the opportunity to put on two
pre-Nationals shows in Rally at the ASCA Nationals that were held
in Albany, Oregon, on September 9th thru the 18th, 2016. What an
undertaking for our small club, but we did it! What fun! With 294
entries we were able to meet lots of great people from all over the
country and even some from out of the country. Thank you ASCA
for the opportunity you have given us to do such fun things with
our dogs.

ASC OF WASHINGTON
Tom Johnson, Affiliate Representative, nfsaussies@yahoo.com
Howdy, all, from the Australian Shepherd Club
of Washington (ASCofWA)! We have newly elected
officers: President Jan Wesen, Vice President Connie Gohl,
Secretary Crystal Anne Aguilar, Treasurer Michelle Berryessa,
DVM, Board Member at Large Tanya Johnson, and Affiliate
Representative Thomas Johnson.
During our elections each year, the Club nominates members
for Sportsman of the Year. I am proud to announce Crystal Anne
Aguilar received that honor! Thanks, Crystal, for all the hard work
that you do for our club!
Like ASCA, we joined the technology age by moving our club
newsletter, the Aussie Print, to an electronic format. We also offer
membership renewals online, as well through the club website:
www.ASCofWA.org.
We’re rounding the panels and on a steadygait
towards the conclusion of another great show year
ASCofWA hosted various shows and trials. Our year began with a
well-attended Tracking trial in January. As the spring season began
so did ourworking trial season with our April Showers Stockdog trial.
Once summer blossomed we hosted our Olympia Dog Days show,
offering Farm Dog Trial, Stock Trial, Conformation, Obedience,
and Rally. Then on into July where we hosted our annual Summer
Spectacular shows over the 4 th of July weekend. Unfortunately, we
were unable to host a stock trial this year, but our Conformation,
Obedience and Rally shows were well attended. Our August
Farm Dog Trial, Stock Dog trial, Conformation and Obedience
at Pack Leader farm offered a venue change that seems to have
been well received. November is shaping up to be a busy month
with individual Conformation, Rally and Agility weekends either
just completed up or coming up. To finish out the year we will be
offering another set of Tracking tests in December. As a club, we
also co-host many Agility trials with our local agility club, Rainer
Agility Team (RAT) throughout the year. We have many of our
events scheduled for next year, so check out our website for dates
and premiums as they are finalized.
As a club, we would like to extend a HUGE THANK-YOU to
all of our Judges, Show Secretaries, Ring Stewards, Timers, Scribes,
Stock Setters as well as all of those who work so hard behind the
scenes to make all of our great events come to fruition! We would
also like to thank our wonderful competitors, without you, our hard
work to host these events would be for naught! We could not do
it without ALL of you!!
Here’s to another fantastic year! We hope to see you at some
point during the upcoming show and trial year!
OLYMPIC ASA
Hilary Hines, Affiliate Reprentative, hhines@gorge.net
Greetings from the Olympic Australian Shepherd Association
(OASA). By the time you read this the holidays will be behind us
and we wish everyone the best for 2017!
OASA is a small club in the Pacific Northwest. We put on 4
weekends of events in 2016, plus our educational/fun day. We have
been blessed with a very good core group of volunteers to help put
on our shows and trials. In April, we put on four conformation/
junior handling shows. Our show had a very large entry and it was
a fun time had by all!
Affiliate News
Our next event was our educational/fun day held at the Hines
place. We all got to see how our dogs did working sheep and ducks.
There were some great surprises with the dogs and their first time
on stock! This event was opened to not only our members but
anyone who wanted to come attend. We also had practice time for
those doing agility, rally, and obedience. The club provided lunch
for all that attended. It was a fun time and a great turnout.
Our next event was held in conjunction with the Australian
Shepherd Club of Washington over the 4 th of July weekend! OASA
thanks ASCWA for allowing us to participate with them! Again a
great turnout and spectacular weather.
We again put on our show and trial in September at Camp
Kalama RV park. We love this facility as we all come and camp
right near the rings. We put on four conformation/junior handling
shows and wo each of obedience and rally. Congratulations to all
of our winners!
Our last show of the year was again held in conjunction with
ASCWA in Chehalis, Washington. We did one day of shows and
ASCWA did the second day. A big thanks to ASCWA for the use of
their club trailer! Without them, we could not offer this weekend
of fun!
We already have plans for our events next year and we are
looking for more facilities to have our events. We might expand
our events for 2017. For more information, please check out our
web page at www.olympicaustrailinshepherdassociation.org.
TREASURE VALLEY ASC (TVASC)
Lyle Gerken, Affiliate Representative, kyotireddog@gmail.com
2016 was a busy year for our small, active, and fun loving club.
Our goal is to promote community, camaraderie, and sportsmanship
among all dog owners in our ASCA Region. This year we hosted
stock dog training clinics with clinicians Jan Wesen, Steve Shope,
James Hartnagle, Lynn Leach, and Tom Blasdell.
We had 5 weekends of ASCA sanctioned dog trials, including
2 PATD courses, and 4 Farm Dog Trials. We are primarily a stock
dog oriented club, but at the request of several members, we also
held our first ever conformation show! It was a one-day show
held in conjunction with our April Stockdog trial. Casual attire
and minimal grooming was the requirements, and many of the
participants showing were in the conformation ring for the first
time ever. We had enough entries to have a 3-point major, and
Judge Cheryl Padgett did a wonderful job, encouraging many of
us “newbies.” A good time was had by all.
We finished up the year hosting an ASCA-sanctioned trial on
Labor Day weekend. This trial was a benefit for Tom Blasdell, a
long-time clinician and stock dog trainer, and mentor to many of our
members. Tom is recovering from a severe accident that occurred
during his run at the NCA Finals in June.
It also served as a warm up for those members competing at
the National Finals and Specialty the following week. Many of our
members and friends attended the Nationals in all of the different
venues, and awards were too numerous to mention.
We are especially proud to recognize two of our club members.
Jeremy Moye is a 13-year-old junior handler from Weiser, Idaho.
He has been involved in the TVASC Stock Dog program for the
past three years, starting with a Border Collie and for the past two

Q&A
Do These Genes Fit?
Just because a dog has a seizure, how can
you really ever be sure it has epilepsy?
Seizures can be caused by many things.
Any vet presented with a dog who has had
a seizure will try to determine a possible
cause for the seizure and treat the dog
accordingly. Determining the cause will
involve taking a history (Where has your
dog been? What may it have eaten? Any
accidents?), One thing that can be helpful in
diagnosis is observing a seizure. However,
seizures rarely happen in the vet’s office.
Not all seizure activity is the same and
knowing exactly what the dog does during
seizure can aid diagnosis. Watching your
dog havie a seizure is distressing, but try
to take a video to show to your vet. Once
the vet has as much information as possible
he will run tests aimed at revealing possible
causes.
A single seizure event is not epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a disease causing periodic
seizure episodes that can range from very
mild to catastrophic. If your dog has a
seizure and no cause could be found it may
or may not have epilepsy, but in a breed
where the disease is so common it is best
to put off breeding plans for a year to see
if the dog has another. If it has epilepsy, it
will.
If another seizure episode occurs and
the vet has ruled out all reasonable causes,
the diagnosis will most likely be epilepsy.
Note the word “reasonable.” The vet should
run any tests he feels may be helpful to
diagnose the dog, but will not run or order
tests for things which, in his professional
opinion, are highly unlikely. For example,
there is no point in urging a client to spend
considerable money for an MRI to rule out
brain tumors if it is improbable that it will
reveal anything.
In my last litter there was a puppy with a
short tail. Both parents have long tails.
The parents are tested for NBT and are
N/N. Do you have any explanation for this
phenomenon?
Send your questions to:
C.A. Sharp
1338 Trouville Ave.
Grover Beach, CA 93433
ph. 805-473-0078
e-mail: 51ca@ashgi.org
When you say “short tail,” do you
mean short or not quite as long as you think
it should be? Full tail length (number of
vertebrae) can vary in length though rarely
by much. Since the parents both have tested
N/N (long tail) if your dog has a very short
tail there could be several reasons:
1. The gene for which we have a test is not
the only genetic cause of bobbed tails.
I’m not aware of Aussies that clearly are
N/N for the bobtail gene test who have
a bobtail but I suppose it could happen.
2. Your dog is M/N but for this to happen
one of the parents’ test results would have
to be wrong or one of the parents is not
actually the parent of your pup.
3. I don’t know if this is possible, but
perhaps something went wrong during
development that affected the puppy’s
tail before it was born. Ask your vet
about this.
You might NBT test your pup. If it
comes back N/N on your pup then the
reason for its tail is either option 1 or option
3 above. If it is M/N there is either a mistake
in one of the parents’ results or a mistake
in the parentage. If the puppy is ASCAregistered
you can have its DNA done to
make sure the parentage is right; you’d need
to do this eventually anyway if you plan to
breed the pup. If the parentage is correct,
the parents need to be re-tested for NBT to
figure out which one had a wrong result
I read somewhere that many breeds and
even mutts with some color patterns have
deafness and blindness linked with white.
Is it really merle that’s a problem or the
fact people like so much white on their
dogs?
White markings are associated with
deafness in many breeds regardless of other
aspects of the dog’s color. In this breed and
others, double merles from families where
white markings are minimal to absent tend
to have much less white and much lower
rates of deafness. Eye defects may also be
less severe in these dogs. Most Aussies
have a fair amount of white trim so double
merles from these dogs tend to have a lot
of white and be deaf.
Deafness can also be due to other
things – old age, chronic ear infections,
etc. – and occur in a dog of any color but
in most cases it arises later ln life. If a dog
has deafness related to white markings
(whether merle or not) the condition will
be present from birth.
Eye defects are not closely linked
with a lot of white other than in double
merles. Think about how many dogs,
including entire breeds, exist that we in
Aussies would think of as having a whole
lot of white but which aren’t known for eye
defects.
I took my 5-month-old pup to the eye vet
because my regular vet saw something in
her eyes. The eye vet said she had small
cataracts and “persistent hyaloid” in both
eyes. What is this? She can see now, but
will she go blind?
The hyaloid is a fetal structure that is
supposed to go away before or shortly after
birth. It’s an artery that transports blood
to and from the front of the eye while it
is forming. Sometimes some portion of it
will remain. It is unknown whether these
are inherited or not. Occasionally one will
be associated with a cataracts.
These are not the sort of cataract
we commonly see in Aussies, which are
not present in young puppies. Hyaloidassociated
cataracts often remain stable
but sometimes do not. I’ve had personal
experience with a dog who had this in one
68 AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017

eye and it advanced to the point her lens
was white by the time she was a couple
years old.
Years ago when I was compiling the
data that resulted in the scientific article
identifying Collie Eye Anomaly in the
breed, I noticed that an unexpected number
of the dogs also had hyaloid remnants,
including the one mentioned above. A
geneticist in Australia who was gathering
data on CEA dogs about 10 years later told
me she had noted the same thing, but at this
point there isn’t sufficient data to say for
sure there is any connection. Clearly not
every dog with a hyaloid has CEA nor do
all CEA dogs have hyaloids.
You should follow up with the eye vet
in about a year to see whether the cataracts
are remaining stable. If they are the same
a year from now your pup probably won’t
have a serious vision issue because of them.
While the inheritance of this isn’t clear,
since she does have cataracts related to the
hyaloids it would probably be best not to
breed her if you had been considering it.
It seems like there are bunches of dog
DNA test labs out there now. How can I
know which to use?
Be an informed consumer.
Labs that either developed the original
test or which were established to market
tests arising from research done at a
particular university, as with VCPL at
Washington State and MDR1 or Optigen
and Cornell for a whole list of eye disease
tests, are good sources for those tests.
Commercial labs that are licensed to
offer patented tests (not all tests are subject
to patent) will have had the guidance of
the patent owner (usually a university)
in setting up the test. Paw Print Genetics,
ASCA’s DNA health screening partner, is
licensed to offer the CEA and PRA tests.
Labs offering a patented test out of license
may or may not be offering a top-quality
product, depending on how they are doing
the test. For example, the CEA test offered
by Animal Genetics is a marker test, not a
direct gene test, which they state on their
website. (The direct gene test would require
licensing.) It is possible with this type
of test to have false positive or negative
results.
Look for labs that have a track record.
If they have been in business for quite a
while and have satisfied customers that is
a good sign. Animal Genetics is one of the
older DNA screening labs, having been in
the business for many years, though with

For information on other studies looking for samples from Aussies, go to:
www.ashgi.org/home-page/how-you-can-help/research-support/current-research-for-aussies
other species before adding dog tests (the
earliest dog tests date back only about 10
years.)
Review the information on the labs’
websites. Is it accurate? For example, if
they state that dogs with one copy of either
the MDR1 or Aussie hereditary cataract
mutation are “carriers” they haven’t done
their homework – both of these mutations
are dominant so there are no “carriers.”
Some labs offer results for multiple
genes from a single sample. Testing panels
specific to a breed are becoming more
common – both Paw Print and Animal
Genetics offer one for Aussies - and are an
economical way to get everything done at
AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017 69

once. Panels frequently include things you
might not test for individually. Doing these
extras will either establish your dog as clear
for those things or may bring your attention
to something you didn’t realize was lurking
in your line.
There are also labs which offer even
screening for dozens of genes and issue
multi-page reports offering results for genes
related to diseases, color, coat type, size
and more. The important thing here is to
realize that a lot of it isn’t really significant
for any given breed. A well-crafted report
form will indicate which breeds commonly
have something and may even highlight
those pertinent to your dog’s breed. When
utilizing these products, you need to do
your homework so you know what applies
to Aussies and what the results mean.
MyDogDNA is the leader in this area and
also offers some breed population statistical
tools to customers.
And, as with any consumer product,
there is price. Some labs are more expensive
than others but the cheapest may or may
not be a good idea. You need to teach
yourself what DNA health screening needs
to be done and on which dogs, as well as
what results mean. You can find this kind
Q&A
of information on the ASHGI site and
elsewhere. Once you know what tests you
want to do, consider the points above as
you decide what lab you wish to use.
All of the above examples are USbased
labs and are by no means the only
labs here. If you live elsewhere or even
if you live here, shop around and do your
homework.
I’m trying to figure out where cancer came
from. I’ve been collecting information on
affected dogs for years and when I look at
the pedigrees back to the foundation dogs
I see certain names over and over. Are
these dogs by default the source of cancer?
First of all it is important to realize
that not every cancer is inherited. There
are only two – hemangiosarcoma and
lymphoma – that clearly have a hereditary
risk in Aussies.
Just because a particular founder
or other prominent early dog is behind
many dogs that have or have produced a
particular health issue in recent years, you
cannot assume that dog was itself affected
or a carrier. It might be or it might not and
assuming so is faulty logic.
You cannot make assumptions about
genetic status of dogs far back in a pedigree
without supporting evidence specific to
that dog or its very near kin. Consider this:
Substance abuse is a major health and social
concern. Virtually all drug addicts drink
milk as children, therefore milk drinking
in childhood could be a cause of drug
addiction. This is the same kind of logic
and forms a false connection between the
two cases. There are a lot of kids who never
grow up to be addicts and a lot of dogs
descended from those far-away founders
who don’t have inherited cancer.
You would do better to study pedigrees
to determine what dogs are within two
steps of relationship to a dog you know had
inherited hemangiosarcoma or lymphoma.
Those are the dogs most likely to also carry
genes for these diseases. Beyond that the
connection can get too tenuous. When you
are looking at a pedigree if you see one
or more of these dogs then there is some
degree of risk. How much would depend
on how close up they were, their status
(affected, 1 step away, or 2 steps), and how
many of them there are in the pedigree.
ARE YOU GOING TO DNA YOUR BREEDING DOGS SOON
AND HAVE QUESTIONS?
WHOLE BLOOD IS THE BEST SOURCE OF DNA
If you’re going to the Vet to have blood drawn, please order the tube kit. When you use the tube kit you can also contribute to
the Gene Bank. (What is the Gene Bank you ask? See Registry Rule 2.2.2 at http://www.asca.org/Portals/0/regrules.pdf. See http://
www.asca.org/Portals/0/dnainstbloodtube.pdf.)
PLAN AHEAD
If you are taking your breeding dog(s) to the Vet for a yearly check up, hip evaluation, teeth cleaning or anything else, plan
ahead and have your DNA blood drawn at the same time, it will save you a trip to the vet and an office visit fee.
MORE PLANNING AHEAD
If you’re planning to go to the Nationals, plan on coming to the DNA Committee Annual Blood Draw (if there is one). You can
purchase the kits at the ASCA Booth and volunteers will draw blood for your dog(s) DNA and ship it to the lab for free.
A WORD ABOUT CARDS
When a blood card is used to collect DNA, please do not saturate the card so it bleeds through. Drop a few drops of blood from
the syringe needle onto each of the two circles on the card. Be sure to let the blood dry for 30 to 60 minutes, longer if it’s humid.
See http://www.asca.org/Portals/0/dnainstblood.pdf.
A WORD ABOUT SWABS
When a brush sample is collected properly the bristles will be bent or depressed and likely discolored. Swabs are subject to
contamination. Dogs must be separated and have had no water or food for 30 minutes before you swab. Nursing puppies cannot be
swabbed. Swabs have the highest error rate, meaning there is not enough material on the swab to DNA profile and you will be asked
to resubmit. See http://www.asca.org/Portals/0/dnacheekinst.pdf.

ARPH Update
Aussie Rescue & Placement Helpline
Robin Lee • flyrobinfly@blarg.net
Program Pups: Becoming an ARPH Dog
How does an Australian Shepherd become an ARPH
dog? Past articles (“Where Do Rescue Dogs Come
From?,” March/April 2015 AT) have explained that our
Aussies generally originate from either a shelter release
or an owner release and that we must work with the legal owner
to accept dogs into rescue. Some shelters prefer to rehome dogs
themselves, and some owners also prefer that the dog stays with
them during the search for a new home. In the latter case, ARPH
will assist in advertising the dog and screening potential adopters
but any transaction is between the original and new families. These
dogs are called referrals, as we are acting as a referral service only.
Program dogs, or ARPH dogs are owned by Aussie Rescue &
Placement Helpline, have a tag with an ARPH number, and live
with an approved foster home for a minimum of two weeks. We
get to live with and know them, which helps us figure out what
the best possible permanent home for them might be. Program
dogs have a rescue representative in charge of their intake and
placement and enjoy the safety net that ARPH affords them…if
an adopter can no longer keep their ARPH Aussie for whatever
reason, we will take them back if at all possible. In order for a
dog to come into the program, there must be two things in place:
an evaluation and an available foster home. The evaluation is key,
as it helps determine if a particular Aussie is safe to rehome, both
in the temporary volunteer foster home and with their permanent
forever family. Unfortunately, not every dog is a candidate for
rescue. It is irresponsible and dangerous to place a biter or a dog
with aggression issues. That does no good for the people, the dog,
the rescue, or the breed.
The first step of any intake is to determine legal ownership.
There have been courtroom battles and ugly situations involving
previous owners out there, so it’s imperative that dogs come free
and clear. With a shelter, we must wait until any official stray hold
is up before we can take a dog. We cannot just accept a stray and
encourage people who find lost Aussies to contact the local animal
control so that proper protocol can be followed. Even if the dog
isn’t turned into a shelter, the authorities should be notified in case
an owner is looking for their pet. With private owners we also want
to make sure we are dealing with someone who can rightfully
relinquish the dog. We will ask people who want to surrender their
Aussie if there is a known source for their dog such as a breeder or
shelter, and encourage owners to contact those sources. We honor
any sales or adoption contracts, just as we wish people to honor
our adoption contract to return our Aussies if they are unable to
keep them. Once a dog is released from a shelter or owner, ARPH
becomes the owner of record until adoption.
Since ARPH only works with purebred Australian Shepherds
(the only exception is if a purebred dam comes into the program and
her pups turn out to be mixes), the next vital step is to ensure the
dog in question is an actual Aussie. We get a lot of confused folks
who want us to take their Australian Cattle Dog or Mini Aussie,
and we have to direct them to other rescue organizations that handle
those breeds. It helps if we have pictures, as it’s often obvious if a

dog is clearly a mix or a similar looking breed such
an English Shepherd or Border Collie. I’ve even had
people who wanted me to take their Sheltie! In some
cases, whether it’s poor photography or otherwise,
it’s not so obvious if a dog in question is purebred
and then we engage our network. Fortunately, the
ARPH community has a wide range and depth
of volunteers, from longtime Aussie owners and
breeders to trainers and behaviorists and we can
take advantage of this knowledge base by sharing
information and learning. Years ago, for instance,
I received photos of an e-locus yellow Aussie,
something I had never seen before or known about.
Thanks to my fellow volunteers I am now more
educated on nonstandard colors in the breed. We
have to be aware of phenotypical differences as we
accept dogs with prick ears, tails, and nonstandard
colors/patterns and realize that what we’re looking
at might not fit the normal Australian Shepherd
silhouette. I’ve even heard of one case where a dog
was completely bald and the volunteer had to make
a best guess at Aussie authenticity. In the case of a
misidentification, we work to release the dog to an
appropriate responsible rescue.
If a dog is purebred and eligible for release and
there is foster space and a rescue rep willing to take
him or her on, then we arrange for an evaluation.
This sounds far more intimidating than it sounds.
Essentially, a volunteer goes to meet and interact
with the dog. The volunteer will note how the dog
reacts to a stranger (the volunteer) approaching,
to being touched, to walking on a leash, and other
things. Some shelters will do an evaluation or
several evaluations but it’s wise to remember that

true behavior may not be apparent in a high-stress, unfamiliar
shelter environment, another reason for the minimum stay in foster
care. Owners will sometimes provide background information
on their Aussies, but once again it’s good practice to trust actual
experience with the dog. We’ve seen dogs described as being
good or not good with other animals or children turn out to be
completely the opposite in foster care and beyond, or normal breed
behavior misinterpreted by owners unfamiliar with the breed. We
are evaluating the dog not only for safety but for best placement.
If a dog goes after cats, for example, we know not to place it in a
foster or adoptive home with cats.
Of course, not every dog is a perfect, turnkey Aussie that
just needs a new home. Many are surrendered because of high
energy, adolescent antics, or other behavior that may need some
modification. These dogs aren’t necessarily abused or neglected, but
may have suffered from uneducated ownership or lack of training.
Sometimes the first time the dog experiences boundaries and an
expectation of civilized behavior is in foster care. Once they’re
taught the rules of living with humans, they become delightful
household companions. Other cases are more serious, and it may
take longer rehabilitation and a lot of patience and care for a rescue
dog that needs more time and work before it is ready for adoption.
Most adopters are looking for a pet and not a project, so ARPH

We also come across Aussies with health issues or injuries. In
these cases, part of the evaluation may include a vet consultation to
determine the scope of the condition and what the prognosis and/or
treatment options include. ARPH is a nonprofit and in some regions
the adoption fee doesn’t even cover the cost of required vaccinations
and the initial vet visit, so we have to be judicious about our limited
resources. We will fundraise for special needs dogs to get them the
care they need. Donors have the option of earmarking their money
toward a specific dog, a region (i.e. Mid-Atlantic Aussies) or to the
general fund.
After an evaluation has determined an Aussie is a candidate for
ARPH and there is an appropriate foster home available, we arrange
for the current owner to sign the release and we transport the dog to
foster care. If the dog needs any veterinary attention or grooming
(some dogs arrive a filthy, matted mess), we take care of that.
Each program dog receives a metal tag with an individual ARPH
number and our toll free phone number engraved on it. Foster
volunteers provide food, toys, shelter, and love. They take note of
how the ARPH dog settles in and stay in contact with the dog’s
personal rescue rep, letting him or her know about any character
traits that emerge and behavioral quirks. All this information is
used to promote and place the dog. ARPH places Aussies by best
match, so it’s important to get to know both humans and dogs in
any equation. We want every home we adopt a dog to, to be its last.

Finally, Finals!
Linda Bell • Georgtown, Texas
Considering this Year’s Finals
It will be the beginning of the New Year when you get this
installment, which means half way through the year for
earning the points needed to be asked into the coming year’s
Finals. Just a little reminder! This issue is going to be a full
one. I will be giving a general overview of how Finals went as seen
through the eyes of others since I was unable to attend this year. I
have our Mystery Pup write-ups with three new pups joining us,
Nessa, Esau, and Dude, and one that is leaving. Welcome to the
new Pups and farewell and thank you to the one leaving. We have
appreciated all your wonderful articles!! I will let their stories
give you the details. Our Mystery Trainers have also been hard at
work answering the questions that I sent to them and I thank them
immensely! Please keep the questions coming!!
Thoughts from an impersonal observer who attended finals and
who has also been a contestant in a previous finals:
“The Finals Sheep arena was created from the ‘parking lot’
adjacent to an existing indoor arena. A portion of the outdoor
asphalt parking lot was set up with fencing to create an enclosure
that met minimum arena size requirements; approximately 12”
of dirt was added, creating the base for the arena. Private aircraft
were doing Touch-N-GOs from a neighboring airport. Assigned
parking for cars, trucks, RVs, and golf carts were within close
proximity.
“The Finals Duck Arena shared a building with assigned
exhibitor stalls. IMO, The arena was maximum in size with a
huge X Drive. First thought, I hoped the ducks were ‘legged’
up. The noise level from verbal conversations, dog grooming,
etc…, was annoying. I wondered what objections, Conformation
and/or Obedience would voice having to compete in that kind of
environment. The blow dryers were loud; however, maybe it’s
because regular trials don’t have that kind of noise going on because
people were trying to talk above the blow dryers. I didn’t think the
ducks were ready for a trial experience and yes, they were able to
get ‘airborne’ as well.
“The Cattle Arena was probably the best setup. Exceptions:
exhibitor seating was minimal. All Judges were at different points
on the same line. Cattle had their own ‘draws’; they constantly &
consistently broke to the back of the arena; they charged dogs;
turned on a dime; dogs that made the course gates were few; more
course attempts were done; many had time called before the center
pen was completed. Three-minute warning was given to every team;
recorded times were in the 9:97, 9:98, 10:00 range. B Course did not
see much difference. Cattle were tough for all teams; many made
their scores on “Control.” They ran Course D 1st, then Course B.
“ALL Stock: TOUGH to work; teams HAD to be better than
good; they had to be RIGHT! COURSE points were hard to come
by, they had to be EARNED. The CONTROL points earned, showed
the importance of the handler’s contribution in reading the stock
and positioning of the dog, while the dog’s contribution was its
willingness to ‘listen.’
“The runs that made Oakley & Sherry the Supreme Champions
were nothing short of excellent, despite the stock and the
environment. They were the team of 2016 Stock Dog Finals!!!
“Sheep: reminded me of ‘range’ sheep; no people, dog, or trial
experience. They came flying out of the take pen. To say they were
‘light’ was an understatement. Pressure of the ‘arena’ and the dog
had the sheep running from one end to the other. Dogs that wanted
to work close made the sheep run more. Over-flanking made it
difficult to drive sheep towards gates.
“Cattle: they did try to keep the cattle sizes uniform but with
gate sorting could not do it all the time. I didn’t think they stayed
together well. Each cow had its own agenda and little ones ran
more than bigger ones
“Handler’s Dinner meeting:
“Food: LOTs of EXCELLENT BBQ ribs; cheese crackers
platter, Fruit Platter, cake.
“All Ribbons & Buckles for all classes were on display. Awards
were excellent.
“Awards ceremony was typical and ringside. However, Sherry
took center stage by winning all 3 classes and becoming ONLY
the 4th recipient of the Supreme Stock Dog Champion. What was
astonishing was last one was 21 years ago and that Sherry has won
3 of the 4 Supreme Championships!!
“The new software they used for scoring worked really
well. They posted info quickly. Overall, it was run like a “regular”
Trial. Run order was posted at the gate and Teams knew they had
to show up.”
Additional info from others:
The hander’s meeting time was changed at the dinner the
night before Finals, which should not have happened. I think some
folks could not find it for some reason. That meant, not everyone
was there in the morning at the same time. If you were not at the
banquet, you would not have known of the time change. In addition,
the round of picture-taking was a bit chaotic due to the lack of
74 AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017

2016 Finalists for Oregon Finals. Gail Bates Photography & Advertising
communication between the course director and the photographer.
I am short on some of the pictures I depend on for this column all
year so please, people, send me your pictures of your dogs!!
No announcer was enlisted to call the names of handlers
and dogs for each run, which was unfortunate. This would have
benefited the people watching the runs as well as the photographer.
No one knows all the contestants! That is something that ASCA
needs to keep in mind; an announcer really is a huge plus!! There
also was no communication between arenas that would have made
things easier for contestants to know when they were up in each
arena or for stock handlers to communicate or for judges to contact
each other for that matter. Again, something not required but it sure
makes life better for all concerned! Finally, having a contestant
also take on the job of co-course director for Finals was possibly a
conflict of interest. Hard to be a course director and run your dog
at the same time!
On a positive note, I was told that they had a digital clock for
handlers in the indoor arena so when their 3 minutes were called
they could keep an eye on the clock to see just how close they
were to the end of their run. That is a really nice touch! Perhaps
something to carry forward to future Finals!!
Well, I have been told this was the most expensive Finals to
date. After hearing all the negative comments about the stock, it
gives me pause. Waco had fabulous stock and people complained
they were too easy! They weren’t easy, they were just dog broke!!
They had been worked in large groups and then broken down into
smaller groups so they were used to that sort of handling. From
all the reports I have had, both judges and contestants alike, the
stock was not suitable for showcasing our Aussies properly. We
had calves, babies really, along with older, larger cattle. Anyone
that has worked cattle or any other livestock for that matter knows
a baby anything can’t think for itself! They need a leader! To put a
group of babies out into an arena is not fair to the calves, let alone
the dog or the contestant who has paid thousands of dollars in the
past year to qualify for finals. It just isn’t right! Sorry. The same
can be said for the sheep. They were only used to being in a large
band of sheep, not broken down into small groups and certainly not
in a minimum sized arena! The arena was made up of temporary
fencing so that if a sheep ran into it, they pushed it out. Not really
a good thing for anyone. I heard things went a little better for all
in the larger arena on the second day, but still, the dogs had trouble
getting far enough away from the sheep! As for the ducks, I am
told one group was good and the other was not as legged up and
was able to get into the air a bit, so that tells me that perhaps their
wings were not clipped properly or maybe it had been awhile since
they had been done. Either way, it sounded like you did well if you
got the good group, and not so well if you got the bad group. Not
very standardized. Again, not what I would want to be putting out
for our ASCA Finals. For a costly Finals, it’s too bad the livestock
was not better prepared.
I guess all this leads up to what should we do about it? The
whole point of making these observations is not to make anyone
feel bad, but to remind the TX group next year of what NOT TO
DO! And maybe what they might want to think about doing. Oregon
got the food banquet right from the sounds of it, and I heard that the
awards were super nice as were the ribbons. The awards ceremony
was handled nicely I am told, with each contestant’s name and that
of their dog read out loud. I think that is important to recognize
each contestant, whether or not they are in the top 15 dogs or not!
They made it into Finals and that in itself is an accomplishment
and should be recognized. We don’t want to forget just how much
effort and money folks have spent to get to Finals!! Think about
the people from Europe! A plane flight here costs a bundle for the
handler and dog, let alone the trialing!! We need to keep things
darn special in my opinion.
One suggestion that I received doing my research on this Finals
was that perhaps each arena should have a co-course director that
is NOT a Finalist standing by and watching each run as an advocate
for each contestant as they run their dog. That way, if there is a
problem, they can take it to that course director to handle for them.
AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017 75

That is an excellent idea! Having just one course director for the
entire Finals just doesn’t make sense when you think about it. On
day one, we have three arenas going at once and they can’t be at
all three at the same time. This would eliminate lots of problems
and he said/she said issues!! I like this suggestion!!
I have two take away things I have learned from listening to
all the comments people have said to me about this year’s Finals:
the first is that the dog that won Supreme Champion deserved to
win! Sherry Baker and Oakley were the team that truly handled
that difficult stock, so hats off to them! The second thing is that
this year’s Finals supports the argument that Nationals and Finals
needs to be in the same location every year! Then we could have
people that know the location site and what will be there and how
the set up will be handled. Consistent stock can be procured from
the same people year after year and they will know what we are
looking for. Costs can be kept lower as a result as well, not just for
stock, but for the facilities as well.
Many thanks to my Mystery Trainers for their insightful
answers to the great questions posed and to the people who sent
me their questions! Please keep them coming!
Also, thank you to my Mystery Pups! We all learn so much
from you all, so keep up the great work!! Remember folks, this is
your column, so please; send me your input along with your dog’s
pictures!!
Keep on dtriving for the top!!!
Mystery Trainer Question #1:
Starting a new dog on stock, are ducks the best stock to start
on?
Mystery Trainer Answer to Q #1:
I would never start a new dog on ducks unless they are the only
available stock. They are too fragile and easily hurt. You have to
be too harsh on the dog to keep him from hurting the ducks when
you need to be encouraging. I use ducks to finish out a trained dog.
Mystery Trainer Question #2:
How do I get my dog to pull ducks off a fence?
Mystery Trainer #1 Answer to Q #2:
I teach the pup to work in a small pen, 4 x 4, and how to walk
around and how to put their nose on the fence.
1. I walk around on a line making sure the dog has only one eye
on the ducks.
2. Off-leash, put the dog around the ducks in the pen.
3. Then go to a larger pen, 12 x 12, and do the same thing.
4. In a larger sided pen, 40x40, I add panels so the dog learns to
pull stock off the fence and through panels and how to hold the
pressure in these situations.
5. Then on to larger pen work on putting ducks in the corner and
helping the dog go all the way around and back into the corner.
6. Work both directions each time putting ducks in the corner.
7. Now work on sending the dog into the corner until ducks come
off and then flank back the other direction then back to the corner
and have them walk up.
8. Through each of these steps I make sure the dog goes to the
corner and is square around the livestock and not coming
forward.
76 AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017
Finally, Finals!
Mystery Trainer #2 Answer to Q #2:
The problem with getting ducks off the fence is a foundation
problem. The dog needs to give on the front end of the flank. When
a dog leaves flat, directly toward the stock, he is trapping them
and not giving them an escape, the direction you want them to go.
You can see this on ducks easier because they are not as fluid and
free moving as sheep and cattle. To fix this you must go back and
square your flanks to be more successful.
Mystery Trainer Question #3:
I have an advanced dog that will not take my “go-by” command
immediately, or does not square off and get out wide. He does a
great job with the “away” command. This is my first stockdog, so,
no doubt I have made mistakes in my foundation work. I am curious
to see if you have any tips to help me address the issue with the
“go-by” command.
Mystery Trainer #1 Answer to Q #3:
First, I always want to make sure that there is nothing wrong
with that side and that the dog is in good health.
Yes, they usually have a stronger and a weaker side. You should
work the weaker side more. Since this is the left side this means
you need to be using your left hand and you also need to be off
side in how you turn. So I would have the crook in my left hand.
Shoulders turned the direction you want the dog to go. I would
step with my left foot and make sure that I get the dog to square
up and continue to follow the dog around the whole 360 circle. IF
the dog tries to come in, I am in a position to push them out.
Next, I work with the stock in the corner and flank the dog into
the corner and make sure they follow the fence out of the corner
and then out and around stopping on balance. Sometimes the dog
thinks they can’t finish and this will show them if they go wider they
can follow through and get to the right balance point. Remember
left hand and your left foot leads.
Next, work in a small pen making sure the dog can go to corner
to corner flanking on the fence both directions. IF they come in
I practice my out and they go to the fence in the corner. This can
help get the dog to smooth their square flanks and get you to see
where they come in.
Reminder: A flank is the dog should not move the livestock.
Should make sure that you are clearly teaching that Go BY means
go clockwise and not move livestock.
Mystery Trainer #2 Answer to Q #3:
It is not uncommon for a dog to be more one-sided on flanks.
What I find is the best way to strengthen the weak flank direction is
to go back to foundation exercises to fix. You will notice that going
back to foundation exercises is a common theme when you need to
fix problems. I would use dog broke sheep initially and work the
circle game (that’s what I call it) this is where you are standing
in the middle of the circle and sending your dog around the circle
in both directions repeating your verbal command as the dog goes
around in that direction. You will want to stop your dog before
changing directions each time. Don’t change directions before
getting a stop. From the stop the first thing you need to get is the
give where the dog releases pressure. You may need to strengthen
this before you are successful with the actual flank. Work the weak
flank direction much more than the dog’s natural flank. You can
influence the dog taking the correct flank by your body language

and which hand you hold your stick in when cuing the dog in the
direction you want him to take. If they take the wrong flank tell
him no, lay the dog down, and give the flank again. Remember to
praise the dog when they are correct. As always the very best thing
you can do for yourself and the dog is to seek one on one help with
someone with more experience and success. When searching for
someone to help you make sure they can demonstrate with their own
dogs the kind of work you want to see in your dog. Patience and
consistency is the key to training dogs. Good luck.

Mystery Pup Lessons to Learn
Releasing pressure. I do a lot of pen work with my dogs. That
is what my daily chores require. In a pen, they can’t go zooming
in there and run critters around. They have to be calm and slow. I
start the dog off slowly in each pen, and then allow them to start
making the decision as to which way to go in and empty the pen. I
use ‘get back’ instead of a direction. I want the dog thinking in the
small area instead of me. I have a tough enough job sorting from the
gate instead of telling the dog what to do all the time. They have to
learn to release pressure on the stock so the gate sorting can work
easier. It irritates me if the dog is pushing stock into the fence (I’m
on the other side of the gate) squishing them. OUT – is the next
word I’ll use. Teaches the dog to, well, get out off the stock. I want
them to read the situation. Some dogs do this better than others. I
like the thinkers.
Mystery Pup So It Begins
I left off last time that I was getting my dog ready for his
first Stockdog trial at Nationals! He had been showing he was
understanding his job and working well for his handler. I need a
fill-in handler until I can get my hip replaced. Luckily, he is willing
to work for others!! I was able to take him to his handler, who is
also his breeder, the week before Nationals to cram in some more
training before the big “test” on the big “stage”!
First came the pretrial, he was really excited, but able to
remember his training and put in some good work on all his runs.
He qualified in all three stock and placed third in cattle!! Both my
handler and I were very pleased. Next came Nationals, it was a little
confusing whether he would run on Thursday or Friday or some
on each day. We were able to get all his runs in on Thursday, since
Friday was going to be busier with obedience and agility. First was
ducks and he was just too amped to keep it together and controlled
and got thank-you’d. Cattle were next. He did a lot of nice work
and got them down to the other end of the arenas (something not
many dogs did) and got a couple panels, had some attempt on the
others and repenned. This ended up being enough for a qualifying
score and his started cattle title! His sheep run was last and he was
amped, but showed he had some control and some skill, but not
enough to get a qualifying score. The sheep were large range sheep
in the minimum-sized arena, not a great combo, and tough for many
of the dogs. Many people came up to me to say some good words
about what they saw him do. That always feels good! I’m pleased
with all his efforts on some tough stock and on the big “stage” of
Nationals! Now onward to more trials and more titles and hopefully
his WTCH!!

Mystery Pup Journey
Getting There
My dog and I have been out testing the waters at trials. How
will we do off the farm? Will he work new stock well? How will we
handle the pressure of competition? Where do we stand compared
to other advanced dogs? Well, I must admit, after competing in four
trial weekends this year, my Finals dream is becoming a realistic
attempt.
My dog’s breeder has given me a couple of standards to use
to assess our readiness for Finals. First, how will my dog handle
working off the farm? I discovered an interesting thing this year.
My dog actually handles stock away from my place better than he
handles my stock. What???? How can this be? I did some thinking
about this and believe I have the answer. My dog has been working
the same sheep at home since he started training. So, the dog and
sheep have a long history of bad habits together. They know each
other and know the “routine.” And, the same naughty things happen
at the same place almost every time. I do my best to mix things
up with combinations of sheep and order of training exercises/
working obstacles, but dogs and sheep are smart animals. I know
I need new sheep. Hoping I can get some more next year. At trials,
my dog has done a super job of showing patience and reading his
stock. I guess that’s because he has no history with the trial stock.
It is so cool to watch him “getting the feel” of trial stock. He has
a neat way of taking one step at a time toward stock and assessing
their response. Thank you, Mother Nature and the creator of his
lines. When I am patient, he is patient. Hmmm. . . . Go figure.

The second standard my dog’s breeder gave me to test our
readiness for Finals is whether my dog consistently scores above
100. Well, now, that’s been interesting, too. This year, my dog has
earned a “thank-you,” a High in Trial, and everything in between.
However, by the fourth trial weekend, he was doing better about
scoring in the 100s. The final tally from the four trial weekends this
year is eight High in Trial ribbons and a High Combined buckle.
Don’t get me wrong, I have no false sense of security. That same
dog that won the buckle also “gently” put a sheep into the fence
and earned a “thank-you.” (I did have my dog stopped, so he didn’t
chase the sheep into the fence, but the sheep did hit the fence.) We
have plenty of work to do before next year’s trials. My goal for
next year’s trials is nothing lower than 100.
And, my dog had a “date” and we are anticipating puppies. I
am hoping for a chip off the ol’ block. I really want a do-over with
this dog. Fingers crossed, a pup will give me that chance.
We will get there.
Mystery Pup Whip
Whip continues to make progress. But we’re still struggling on
the fetch. So, I’ve set up a small freestanding pen in the arena that
we can practice outruns on. He was tight on the away to me side
but is improving with a little push out. A few of those and I pull
the pen gate open with a rope for a lift. The fetch is still a power
struggle for the sheep. I ask for a down, move away, and ask for a
walk up. He won’t down immediately and tries to maneuver around
to the sheep. I think facing him is too much pressure so I’m trying
to relax my posture and be patient for the lie down. I also cut some
short hose pieces and drop them in his path on a over flank. This
seems to have help immensely, he was working off just some small
hand gestures once I’d run out of hose pieces. I’m looking forward
to our next training session.
Finally, Finals!
becomes harder to get them to move. Fortunately, Toto will give
the goats a prod and get them moving despite the leaves. Usually
she just hits them with her closed muzzle, but sometimes she will
nip.
Mystery Pup Topper
Topper seems to have reached a plateau where he is not getting
any better. Maybe it is just his age. I am having a huge problem
with his walk up on stock. He will not walk up into the pressure.
I am sure I mentioned that a few articles ago but I thought things
were getting better. Last weekend we were at a trial where there
were a number of runs that he could not push the livestock past
the advanced handler’s line because he would not walk up where
I directed. It’s very frustrating for both of us and I need to put him
on a line and go back to the walkup and work together on this. It
is interesting to me that when I put a drag line on him he seems to
walk up straighter than with no line whatsoever. I am not holding
the line but maybe in his mind I am. Anyway we are starting the
trailer race for 2017 FINALS.
Mystery Pup Biggie
Biggie is just getting better and better. I started to trial him in
July and he finished his WTCH last weekend and he only NQ’d
once in all those classes. Last weekend he was HIT a few times and
HIT Aussie a few times and HIGH COMBINED for the weekend.
I had many, many compliments on his working ability and he blew
me away on his understanding of the job a number of times. I may
have to up his description from a Ferrari to a Formula One race
car. He has already surpassed Topper on Finals points and he just
started.
Mystery Pup and Toto Too
Toto is fetching fairly well now. However, her gathers still need
a lot of work; she still strongly wants to go to the heads rather than
go around behind the stock. At least, there is no danger of wrecks
anymore. Toto was getting lazy with her take pens, but after some
reminders, she is now going all the way to the back of the pen
again. She stops on her own to let the goats find their way through
the bottleneck that is the narrow gate out of the pen and then takes
great enjoyment in running them down the chute, stopping herself
when they go out the last gate.
The new twist in working her is that I’ve had a bunch of kids
born in the last few months. Kids don’t follow their mom’s around
like lambs do. Indeed, does leave their young kids while they go
out and forage like deer do their fawns. A good stockdog realizes
that very young stock don’t have the mental capacity to take the
dog’s orders and leaves them alone. This is especially important
when moving the herd out of the home pen. Young kids are best
left behind or it is a royal hassle trying to get them back in, as they
ping pong all over the place. Toto proved herself by ignoring the
babes and then when they were old enough to follow the herd, she
learned how to patiently get them to move in the right direction.
Fall is always the time that shows off a weak dog at my place.
With all the shed leaves on the ground that the goats love to eat, it
Mystery Pup Talent
Talent is a bundle of joy. I love this little guy. He is built like a
Mack truck, all muscle. His interest in livestock is slowly building.
Today he worked a set of three sheep for a little while. Although
I did not see anything special in his work, I was still very happy
with him. I have had a problem with him the last two months. He
has had a severe infection in his nose and could barely breathe and
has constant discharge. I took him to Tufts and spent a lot of money
only to be left with a puppy on antibiotics and no end in sight and
no answers. So I took him to the local homeopathic vet and one
week later, he is 90% better. I should have gone to this vet first,
but oh well, lesson learned. Hopefully he is on the mend and can
continue to grow and learn. His housebreaking is getting better,
but now I am dealing with his wanting to get up on top of counters
and see what’s there. He still does not respond to the word “no.”
Maybe I should try a different language.
Mystery Pup Nessa

like it, we’ll soon be heading into winter, which means very little
78 AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017

training time for my Mystery Pup contender who we’ll call Nessa.
Closer to five years old than four, Nessa is two legs away from her
WTCH. We’ll have to wait to finish that up in the spring as our
trialing season is at an end. For some a WTCH is the end goal, for us
it will be just the beginning of our adventure of not just qualifying
for Finals, but being competitive once we get there. Although this
year has been one of making great strides in both my handling and
in Nessa’s training, we still have so much work to do. There is a
lot of fine-tuning and fixing of the gaping holes our trialing season
has pointed out, and that will be what I share with you in coming
editions.
Mystery Pup Dude
Introduction
You forget what starting a pup is like when you haven’t had
one in a while. Dude will be just about a year by the time you all
are reading this introduction to one of the newest Mystery Pups.
I’ve got big plans for him, but I’m determined to take my time and
not rush. I did that with some of my other dogs and found myself
battling problems down the road I otherwise wouldn’t have had. I
do need reminders sometimes, though. I tend to forget this ganglylegged,
enthusiastic, smart, funny youngster is just that: a youngster.
Bless his heart, though, even when I forget and ask him to do things
in training that are far beyond him, he does try to figure it out for
me. He never holds a grudge and makes me laugh every day with
his antics. He’s already proven to be such a fun boy to work with
that I know I’ll have some fairly entertaining posts to share with
you down the road.
Mystery Pup Dare to Dream
Dare to Dream and I went out on stock for the first time in
well over a year, due to some major health issues on my part. He
has definitely matured and mellowed some, because although he
still had the tendency to want to dive bomb the sheep, he was
very biddable and worked well. Our trainer has tried to work him
a couple times but he actually ignored both her and the stock and
refused to leave my side…I guess he still feels he has to watch out
for and take care of me as he did when I was out of commission.
It’s been really discouraging not being able to do much with my
dogs for so long, I felt guilty and wondered if I shouldn’t ship D2D
off to someone who could work and trial him so he wasn’t wasted.
Hopefully as life slowly normalizes I will get us out to train more
often. We both need the therapy! Just to get D2D and me back into
the swing of things we entered a trial for another venue, if only to
get back out to an ASCA event and to enjoy our partnership. It sure
felt good to be around other Aussies and people again. For the first
time in a long while, I am daring to dream again about stock trials
and maybe someday making it to Finals.
Mystery Pup Esau
Introduction
Let me tell you a little about myself first. I grew up on a farm
and I’ve had Aussies most of my adult life. I got my first one and
paid $100 and 50 bales of hay for him. He was a good dog, and
Finally, Finals!
although he had no formal training, he would work cows. He died at
15 years old and I waited 10 years until I got another pup, because
of my loyalty to him. My next dog was the total opposite of my
first Aussie, she was headstrong and free-spirited, and a female.
I informally got introduced to herding with her while we were at
the beach, as she tried to work the ghost crabs. I knew I had to do
something to satisfy her desire. I finally found someone relatively
local to train us. She could have some really great moments training,
but her trialing performance was less than stellar. In a trial situation,
she preferred to do things her way. But I was hooked; I enjoyed the
competition, people, and just being around the animals. I also knew
that to compete at more advanced levels, I’d need to get another
pup with more working bloodlines.
I began searching for pups, and narrowed it down to two
litters. After extensive research, I decided on the litter I wanted. I
had wanted a specific color, but when it was time to choose, I chose
a different color. I have no idea why, but after seeing photos of the
litter, there was just something that just drew me to him. I brought
him home and he had to endure 30 days of hell from my female.
But he was patient, and didn’t force himself on her. And one day
I looked and they were rolling in the grass, playing. They’ve been
best friends since. It was evident early on that he wanted to work.
He would herd our cat for hours. And when he’d accompany us
for our training, he showed lots of interest on the sheep while we
were working, whining and trying to get in the field to help us.
I finally convinced our trainer to let me try him on sheep at six
months old. I’m sure my cat is forever grateful. He did extremely
well, and his patience was even more evident with the sheep. So
we began training in earnest, traveling 90 minutes one way to work
every weekend, occasionally twice a week. When he was a year
old, his skill level had surpassed that of my older dog. For his first
birthday I took him to a cattle clinic, and he did extremely well for
his first time on cattle. We attended our first trial that fall, and our
results were mixed, mostly due to my inexperience. After a couple
more trials, it was obvious for us to be more competitive we needed
our own stock. I calculated the cost of training, fuel, and my time
versus feed and figured at worst I’d break even. So I purchased
10 Katahdin sheep. They had never seen a dog before and weren’t
fond of the idea of a dog telling them where they needed to be. My
older dog couldn’t handle the pressure, whereas Esau couldn’t get
enough. The more they attacked him, the more he loved it. After a
couple weeks they were resigned to the fact that he was in control
of them, and they became workable. The next trial we attended that
fall, our results were more consistent, particularly with sheep. Due
to those improvements in scoring with sheep, I decided we needed
to purchase cattle for him to work. I found two heifers and a steer
relatively cheap, and got those for him. I then decided we might
as well get some ducks, so I found a few Khaki Campbell ducks
for him. He received his WTCH at our next trial, with scores that
were much more consistent on all stock.
That leads us to this point. Esau has his WTCH, so what’s
next? With our own animals, we get our interaction with them
doing chores. But we both enjoy working stock so much that
just refraining from trialing is not an option. What goals do we
have? Can we compete with teams at Finals that have much more
experience than we do or will we embarrass ourselves? Will our
schedules allow us to attend trials to earn Finals points? Currently
these questions remain unanswered. But I don’t think I could forgive
myself if we do not take the chance.

Rosalind Hall • Guntersville, Alabama
But I Don’t Have Time to Train . . .
I
know; I have been there. Life somehow seems to interfere
with our dog training. There is a job to go to, laundry to be
washed, kids’ games to attend, and on and on and on. How
can I justify taking time to train my dog when there is so much
else that needs to be done? I have an answer. In education we call
it using teachable moments. And, in fact, it can work better than
one or two long “training sessions” a week.
Research tells us that all beings learn beginnings and endings
better than middles. Think about when you try to memorize a poem
or song lyrics. It is easier to learn the beginning and ending than
the middle. This applies to our dogs, and because of it, using a a
few spare minutes throughout
the day to work with your dog
can be more effective than long
training sessions even if we
have the time.
Years ago I had a friend
who was working at home doing
medical transcribing and was
also trying to get her dog ready
to show in utility. She decided
to try an experiment. She set a
timer in her office for 55 minutes. When it went off, she would
train her dog for 5 minutes and then go back to work. She repeated
this throughout her eight-hour work day. In just six weeks her dog
learned all of the utility exercises and with some proofing she was
ready to show.
Now I realize that everyone does not have the luxury of
working from home or having time without the distractions of
spouse or children, but I think most of us can find a few minutes
during the day to train. We, and our dogs, all have to eat…a perfect
time to train. One of Rush’s breeders, Heidi Mobley, has all of her
dogs wait in a sit or down at the door outside her dog room. The
door is open as are their crates. Their dinner is waiting in each
crate. She calls each dog by name, and it goes to its crate and is
rewarded by dinner. New dogs or pups learn the routine quickly. It
not only makes feeding time go more smoothly, it teaches valuable
impulse control at the same time. If you are just feeding one or two
dogs, you can use bits of their food as rewards as you practice a
behavior such as turns, fronts, or finishes. This is also a good time
to practice attention, by teaching the dog to make eye contact with
you instead of looking at the bowl of food. When you are preparing
a family dinner, dogs can be taught to wait at the kitchen door; sit,

this applies to our dogs.
down and stand can be practiced with tidbits of food for rewards;
and signals can be practiced.
Yes, I have heard that your dog is just too food crazy to train
her with food. She goes wild and is uncontrollable. Folks, this is
called dog TRAINING. It is our job to teach our dogs how to control
themselves and work for rewards, so this may be a good starting
point. Remember, a reward is only a reward if it is something the
dog really wants.
There are so many opportunities to train. Need to practice
out of sight stays? How about when you go to the bathroom?
Leave the dog outside in a sit or down, go in and close the door.
If the dog holds the position until
you open the door, give her huge
praise and a reward. Pat Pierce
suggests using your daily walk
by working a different exercise
at each mailbox you come to in
the neighborhood. This is also a
good time to work on attention as
you encounter squirrels, playing
children, or neighbors who want
to say hello. There is the added
benefit of teaching your dog to remain calm no matter what is
going on around him. It makes walks more fun and interesting for
the dog as he never knows what you may ask him to do and when
he will get a reward. Have kids with athletic games you need to
attend? Another good training opportunity. I taught one of my dogs
stays at my nephew’s soccer games. Keeping himself still with boys
running and a soccer ball flying by was a challenge, but he got it.
And he got used to noisy, active kids at the same time.
When I am training a young puppy, I do a lot of my teaching
when I am working in the yard or garage. I let the pup wander and
investigate his surroundings. Every few minutes, I call him to me
and give him a reward and let him go on about his business. He
learns that coming when called is fun, and you don’t lose your
freedom. This makes for a fast and happy recall when formalized
as well as making it more likely that he will come in “real Life”
situations. We also practice sits, downs, and stays this way, as well
as heel position and a little heeling.
And if you are lucky enough to have any down time, that’s
another good training opportunity. I teach the dumbbell retrieve
while watching television. Since I use a clicker, there is a lot of

Stockdog Corner
Terry Martin • Hico, Texas
Musing on Trial Dogs and Ranch Dogs
I have been very bad, my deadline is here, and I have not even
started writing anything. I ran across a very old Aussie Times
article that I wrote in 2003 – 16 years ago! I think I reprinted this
once since then, but it has still been long ago. I thought it has a
lot of thoughts in it that are relevant today, so would share it with
you so I can meet my deadline!
Below is From the Stockdog Corner/Aussie Times written May
2003:
It was about six years ago (1997) when I mentioned in a
Stockdog Corner a conversation I had with an ASCA Stockdog
Judge. He had made the
remark to me that the breed
was splitting and not in the way
we have heard for so many
years between conformation and
working. He was only involved
in the working end of the breed
and felt we were splitting into
trial dogs and ranch dogs. A lot
of people did not agree with that
and pointed to the good dogs
who do both successfully. Lately I have been giving this a lot of
thought and have been a part of some discussions that are somewhat
disturbing. I thought I would devote a few paragraphs to the topic
and then welcome any discussion.
After being in the breed for over 30 years and watching the
ASCA Stockdog Program develop, I am not so sure the dogs are
splitting so much as the people are. Obviously, there are some dogs
who win in trials who would be less than useful in many real farm
and ranch situations. Likewise, there are valuable ranch dogs who
would not shine in the trial arena. Many of them could have done
well either way, but their training and environment has developed
them into what they are today. There are and always have been
individuals in the ASCA trial scene who do ranch work at home
and compete successfully at trials. But what about the people?
The ASCA Stockdog Program was pretty much developed
by and for people who had real working dogs and wished to have
them appreciated and recognized by their peers. This is much
the same as the way horse racing and rodeo began. The talent is
just too good to want to keep it hidden at home! As the program
developed it attracted people who loved and admired the working

stockdog but did not have livestock themselves. Many new ideas
sprung up. Clubs purchased sheep and doled them out to members
to practice on, and then they got them all together to put on trials
and clinics. Individuals purchased sheep or a few calves and often
had friends come over to work their dogs. As training improved
(and improved it did!) there were trainers who set up facilities
to work dogs, something unheard of in the early years of ASCA
trials. Sheep became a real focus because they are less expensive
to buy and feed and easier to house. All of these things allowed
more people to evaluate their dogs and of course led to the study
of pedigrees and working traits. Rather than the farmer/rancher
breeding his good bitch to the best working dog in the area, people
were shipping dogs and using
bloodlines from other areas.
More and more people entered
the world of ASCA competition
who had no experience with
livestock, but an interest in these
dogs and working them as a
sport.
Whether this is good or bad
is not even an issue. Without the
influx of folks from the nonlivestock
world, it is doubtful ASCA trials could have made it.
ASCA has held to the real life ranch ideals with the addition of
Ranch Trials and the Post Advanced Division, both of which have
helped maintain a challenge and the quality of dogs.
Recently in conversations I have realized that there are two
worlds out there. The working Australian Shepherd lives in both
of them. But the people have lost track of each other. Actually, the
farmer/rancher segment often doesn’t know the trialer exists, and
sometimes it seems that the trialer segment doesn’t care that the
farmer/rancher exists. The former uses ASCA simply as the registry
for his dogs and sometimes is an ASCA member and sometimes
not. He is unaware of the world of purebred dogs and has no time
or interest in becoming part of it. He often has a knowledge of
genetics either from animal science courses in college or from
practical experience with livestock or both. He knows you can
breed the best to the best and at times come up with nothing and
knows the great one can happen from the most ordinary of parents.
His stock, including his dogs, has to meet certain standards and be
useful to his operation. He knows that if he buys an eight-weekold
puppy to be a working dog that it might not be good enough
AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017 81

no matter who its parents are. Thus, he often has a distrust of high
prices and although trial titles are impressive, he knows the proof
is in the dogs themselves. He very likely has a “yard dog” or two
but he isn’t interested in paying as much for a puppy who might
end up just another yard dog as he paid for his last cow and calf.
This is the world the Australian Shepherd came from – and where
he still quietly exists away from the public eye.
There is a sense among some active in the purebred dog world
right now that those who are not deeply involved in competition
and all the up to date lofty ideals of dog breeding are somehow
“ignorant. If someone has Aussies and does not adhere to all the
practices of the modern dog fancier (many with a decade or less in
the breed) they are inferior. So many of these quiet breeders I hear
from have been in this breed for 20 or 30 years. They know where
the dogs came from and they want to keep owning and producing
dogs like the ones they had generations ago. For the most part they
respect the trial world but many have competed with cattle or horses
and know that wins and Championships do not guarantee useful
offspring. They don’t go out and buy a $100,000 arena Champion
cutting horse to ride all day and bring in their cattle. Their horses
are often registered with the same registry as that Champion but
they are far more proficient in a more practical way.
It really doesn’t matter which of these segments of the working
Aussie owners is superior or the most politically correct. It doesn’t
even matter which one has the “best” dogs. They both are here
to stay – at least in the foreseeable future. Farmers and ranchers
have been breeding Aussies for far more years than trialers have
and they will continue to do so. Stockdogs have taken a big leap
in popularity in the ranch world in the past decade although there
are those who for some reason want to deny the fact. Trialers have
a passion for the working Aussie and are here to stay too. They
often do not have the same ideas about how to breed dogs or exactly
what traits are most important in a working dog, but one common
ground remains. They all want a dog with that unique instinct that
allows them to work or to play the game. Luckily for the Australian
Shepherd we have both of these groups dedicated to preserving
the working Aussie, some just for their own use and some for the
future of the breed itself.
Stockdog Corner
The Australian Shepherd is a very young breed. Records have
been kept for less than 50 years. My first Aussie in 1963 came with a
five-generation pedigree of dogs registered with NSDR. There are a
few holes in that pedigree but not many. ASCA has only maintained
a registry since 1971. The gene pool for this breed is very, very
small. When you break that down into specifically the “working
lines” it becomes so much smaller. How many definite working
lines are there? How many “popular sires” have there been over the
past 25 years? Looking at pedigrees you will find the numbers are
alarmingly small. Right now I know breeders who are looking for
an outcross that has the traits they want to perpetuate in their own
bloodlines. If they have been in the breed for very long they have
definite goals and have traits they want to avoid and traits they want
to maintain. This knowledge and these preferences diminish their
choices even more. In the end, where do they go? Fifty years into
this breed finds us with a very tight gene pool if you are seriously
breeding working dogs and studying the popular bloodlines. There
are dogs (hard to find) out there who have been quietly bred through
the decades by people just simply working their dogs and selling a
few pups here and there locally. Once in a while one of these comes
into the hands of an active ASCA person (or one of these people
discovers the world of ASCA) and we have some new blood. But
not often enough! When this happens some serious breeders may
cautiously “test the waters” by using this unknown dog, but it takes
several years to know if this “new blood” will make a significant
positive impact on a bloodline and then the breed. These dogs
often trace back to known dogs of the seventies, but those dogs are
falling off the right side of the pedigree. With the tight bloodlines
in the Aussie trial world we can only hope and encourage those
farmers and ranchers out there to continue to register their dogs
with ASCA while they are using them in the real livestock world.
With the Board’s closing of the Hardship Registry to NSDR dogs,
it becomes ever more important to encourage those not active in
ASCA to keep up ASCA registration. Ten or 20 years down the road
a great dog with your dogs falling off the pedigree might come to
light. Without ASCA papers he or she will be lost to this gene pool
forever.
Just as a kennel can get “bred into a corner” so could this breed
by becoming too elitist and too judgmental of those who have one
bottom line question: Can he handle my livestock?

touching and putting the dog’s mouth around the dumbbell to get
a cookie at the beginning. After a few minutes, I put the dumbbell
on the coffee table and ignore the pup. I know I am making good
progress when he picks it up and brings it to me for a reward. And
it’s all done while I am watching my favorite shows.
If you are a newbie, and I hope there are some of you out there,
you may want to ask your instructor to assign you homework things
that can be taught or practiced during these “found” moments.
There are so many advantages to this type of training. Training
sessions do not continue long enough for you or the dog to become
bored or frustrated. More rapid learning does occur. You tend to
become a more creative and less stiff trainer. The dog learns to
work around real life distractions. And I think training is more fun
for the dog and her human. So how about finding some of those
“lost” moments and using them as training opportunities?

Tracking Field Notes
Anne Hershey • Hillsborough, California
Presenting an ASCA Sanctioned Tracking Test
Tracking Test Secretary, Part One: Preparing for the Test
Columnist’s note:
This article is the fourth in a series on presenting ASCA
sanctioned tracking tests. The series is devoted to the memory
of Judge Ralph Swingle, who passed on in 2015. Ralph was a
passionate advocate for ASCA and for Tracking, the sport he
introduced to ASCA. He was a founding member of ASCA’s
Tracking Committee, and he devoted much time and energy
toward promoting and improving ASCA’s tracking program.
Highly sought after as a tracking judge, Ralph skillfully
shepherded many inexperienced tracking test workers through
unfamiliar tracking test procedures, always with compassion
and wry Irish humor. I feel privileged to remember Ralph as
my mentor and dear friend.
To date, the series has included three articles: “. . . Pep
Talk and Planning” (July-August, 2015), “. . . The Tracking
Premium List Demystified” (Sept.-Oct, 2015), and “. . .
Dividing the Workload” ( Nov.-Dec. 2015). This fourth article
is a detailed description of the Tracking Test Secretary’s role
while receiving entry forms, conducting the draw for test
entry and producing the Judging Program and Test Catalog.
Part 5 in the series will describe the Tracking Test Secretary’s
responsibilities during and after the test. Part 6 will continue
the series with a description of the Chief Tracklayer’s job.
For tracking tests to run smoothly, volunteers must take
charge of four distinct jobs: Test Chair, Test Secretary,
Chief Tracklayer, and Hospitality Chair. If they are
members of the host club, these volunteers form a nucleus
of the three-person Tracking Test Committee required to be present
on site during both days of the trial, Plotting Day and Test Day.
Who can serve as Tracking Test Secretary? Current regulations
require the Tracking Test Secretary to be a full member of ASCA
in good standing. Membership in the host club is ideal, but it’s not
required. Experience with the sport is helpful, but it’s not required,
either. What the job actually requires is a responsible, punctual
person who can take charge of time-sensitive correspondence with
the exhibitors, the judges, and the ASCA Business Office before and
after the trial, and who can serve at the staging area as the public
persona, organizer, and problem-solver for the host club throughout
the two-day trial. Since the Test Chair already has overseen the
planning, sanctioning, promotion, and staging of the event, s/he
may choose to continue her work seamlessly and function as Test
Secretary. Or s/he may prefer to pass the job to someone else and
enjoy the action in the field. The Test Secretary role is perfect for
a club member who is willing to assume major responsibility for
the trial, but who lacks the skills or physical stamina to participate
in the field.
Like Test Secretaries for other sporting events, the Tracking
Test Secretary takes charge of correspondence, but the job involves
much more than paperwork. As contact person for the exhibitors,
the Test Secretary responds to their questions about the test site
and other concerns. After the trial’s closing date s/he conducts
the Draw for Test Entry, creates the Judging Program based on
results of the draw, and distributes this program to the judges and
the exhibitors. She also creates a Test Catalog based on the results
of the draw. On Plotting Day she provides the judges with needed
equipment, including tracking test articles and official charts, and s/
he deals with problems that arise. On Test Day morning s/he greets
the exhibitors when they arrive and conducts the drawing for track
order. When the test has been completed s/he awards ribbons and
trophies to the passing exhibitors, moderates the judges’ reports of
the tracks, provides copies of the judges’ charts to the exhibitors,
oversees official photography, thanks the test workers, and much
more! S/he sends records of the test to the ASCA Business Office
in a timely manner.
Test Site Information: The Tracking Test Secretary’s contact
information is printed on the premium list. S/he is the “go to”
person for the trial. Soon after the premium list has been approved
and distributed, the Tracking Test Secretary can expect to receive
phone calls and emails from interested exhibitors, asking about
the test site’s terrain, cover conditions and likely distractions (wild
animals, loose dogs, stock). These questions are valid and should
be answered as fully as possible. Accurate site descriptions help
exhibitors decide whether their dogs are test-ready for a specific site,
or whether some targeted training is required to prepare their dogs
to handle the site conditions. If the secretary is not familiar with the
test site, s/he refers exhibitors’ questions to someone who knows
the property well, such as the Test Chair or the Chief Tracklayer.
As the trial’s closing date approaches – ten days or more before
the trial date – the Secretary will receive would-be exhibitors’ test
entry forms. As they come in, s/he reviews the entry forms to verify
that they are filled out correctly and completely. It’s acceptable
and considerate to contact exhibitors who have omitted significant
AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017 83

information or items like certification slips and entry fee checks,
so they can complete their entries properly in advance of the Draw
for Test Entry.
Entry Withdrawals: If an exhibitor decides to withdraw an entry
prior to the test’s closing date, the Test Secretary must return that
exhibitor’s entry form, certification slip for Tracking Dog (TD) or
Tracking Dog Urban (TDU), and refund the entry fee.
The Drawing for Test Entry: Tracking test entry is determined,
not “first come, first-served,” but by a random drawing from all
of the entries received by the closing date and time. The drawing
is held on the date and time, and at the public place designated on
the premium list.
The significance to exhibitors of the Drawing for Test cannot be
overstated. Trainers work with their tracking dogs for months and
even years. Tracking tests are few and far between, so the chance
to enter a test and exhibit a well-trained dog to a tracking title is
precious indeed.
ASCA Tracking has approved a hierarchy of priorities for
test entry, so the “drawing for test entry” actually is conducted as
a sequence of small random drawings, performed according to the
order of draw priorities listed in the trial’s premium list. The order
of priorities on the premium list should match the order listed in the
most recent printed version of the ASCA Tracking Regulations. The
ASCA Tracking Committee continually fine tunes these regulations,
so it’s important for a Test Chair to check the current regulations
before finalizing the premium list for the tracking trial.
****
Listed below is the order of draw priorities for TD/TDU tests
and for TDX tests, as listed in ASCA Tracking Regulations, June,
2016, Chapter I, Sections 1.20.1, 1.20.2 and 1.20.3:
Tracking Dog or Tracking Dog Urban
1. To all ASCA registered Australian Shepherds, including
those previously titled through ASCA TD2 or ASCA
TDU2, or TD and TDU, or untitled but with certifications
or equivalent titles,
2. To all dogs with ASCA Office Tracking Numbers, including
those previously titled through ASCA TD2 or ASCA
TDU2, or TD and TDU, or untitled but with certifications
or equivalent titles,
3. To ASCA registered Australians Shepherds with three or
more TD/TDU titles,
4. To dogs with ASCA Office Tracking Numbers with three
or more TD/TDU titles,
5. To a non-titled ASCA registered Australian Shepherds
without a certification or equivalent title,
6. To a non-titled dog with an ASCA Office Tracking number,
without a certification or equivalent title.
Note: TD and TDU certifications may be used to enter either
test.

Note: The draw priorities are different for tests offered in
conjunction with ASCA titling events that include Versatility
competition, and specifically for National Specialty Show tests.
Adjustments that give Versatility competitors extra priority in
the draw are listed in section 1.20.4 of the Tracking Regulations.
The ASCA Tracking Committee continually reconsiders and
updates these regulations, so more adjustments may be made
in the future.
****
Tracking Test Committee members, would-be exhibitors, and
other visitors are strongly encouraged to attend the Draw for Test
Entry. Observers are needed to help the Test Secretary verify the
impartiality of the draw.
Prior to the draw, the Test Secretary organizes the entries into
separate pools (envelopes, paper bags, buckets) corresponding
to the numbered draw priorities. S/he creates small “draw-able”
representations of the entries in each pool – examples include
wadded-up pieces of paper with the exhibitor’s name written on
them, or dice that correspond with numbered lists of the exhibitors.
To conduct the draw s/he dumps the draw-able items for pool
#1 into a paper bag or a hat and mixes them up vigorously. Another
person then draws from the hat or bag and continues drawing until
the first priority pool is exhausted. The Test Secretary records the
results of this drawing as catalog numbers: the exhibitor drawn first
is catalog #1, the second is catalog #2, etc. S/he then conducts a
draw using the second priority pool and records that result. And s/
he continues the draw, following the list of priorities, until all of the
entries have been drawn. The first set of numbers, up through the
number of tracks offered in the test, are recorded as “test entries,”
the rest are listed as “test alternates,” with alternate catalog numbers
assigned in the order that they were drawn.
After the draw has been completed, the Test Secretary creates a
“Judging Program,” and promptly sends versions of this document
to the entrants and to the tracking judges by snail mail – and also by
email if possible. Examples of the Judging Program are printed on
page 56 of the June, 2016 ASCA Tracking Regulations, and posted
on the ASCA website in the tracking section (as well as in this
article, next page). The version sent to the exhibitors informs them
of their catalog positions – as entrants or alternates – and provides
clear directions to the tracking test site and other instructions of
importance to the test. The version sent to the Tracking Judges
includes the numbers of entrants and alternates in the test, but not
the names of the exhibitors or the breeds of the dogs.

November 25, 2016
Dear Maia ,
Thank you for your entry in the 7th annual PASA ASCA Tracking Dog Excellent Test on
Saturday, February 18, 2012. There are three TDX dogs entered and three alternates.
Cleo has drawn catalog number TDX alt. #3.
We may have to share the park with grazing sheep this year---- we are working with the
BLM Rangers and with the shepherd to minimize interference with our test--- this potential
problem is the result of our exceptionally dry winter. There is a slight possibility that we will
have to cancel the test, but we are trying as hard as we can to avoid that disappointment.
All dogs and handlers must be at the staging area by 10:30 AM on Saturday, February 18,
2012 at which time there will be a drawing to determine the running order. Entrants not
present at the time of the drawing will be marked absent. Judging will begin when the tracks
are sufficiently aged. Bitches in season are allowed to run in the test, but will run the last
track(s).
There will be a complimentary breakfast offered before the TDX test. All participants are
also invited to join the judges and tracklayers for a complimentary lunch.
……………………………………………………………………………………
DIRECTIONS TO THE TEST SITE:
Coming from the North:
Take Highway 101 South to Highway 156 West toward the Monterey Peninsula. Take Highway 1
South toward Monterey. Take the Fort Ord Main Entrance exit off Highway 1. Follow General
Directions below.
Coming from the South:
Take Highway 101 North to Highway 68 toward the Monterey Peninsula. When you get to Highway 1,
go north toward Santa Cruz. Take the Fort Ord Main Entrance exit off Highway 1. Follow General
Directions below.
Coming from South or North of Monterey on Highway 1:
Take the Fort Ord Main Entrance exit off Highway 1. Follow General Directions below.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS:
You will now be on Light Fighter Drive. At the 3 rd signal, turn right (the turn is before the corner).
You will now be on General Jim Moore Blvd. (Can you tell you are on a former military base yet?). At
the second signal, turn left on Normandy Road. Stay on Normandy Road. You will come to the
intersection of Parker Flats Road Cut-off and Normandy Road. Continue straight across Parker Flats
Cut-off Road. Normandy Road turns into Parker Flats Road here. Drive around the “Restricted
Access” barricade. SPEED LIMIT 25MPH INSIDE THIS AREA PLEASE! There may be bicyclists,
hikers or horses on road. In approx. 2.3 miles, make a left on Eucalyptus Road. Continue on
Eucalyptus Road, across Barloy Canyon Road until you get to a locked gate. Hopefully there will be
someone at the locked gate to let you through, but I think you already know what to do. That’s right,
absolutely DO NOT LOCK THE GATE after you have come through and closed it. From this point it
is approximately 2 miles to the test site. Stay on the paved road and curve around the pond. At Skyline
Road (a dirt road) take a right and parking will be immediately on your left if conditions are dry. If soil
conditions are wet, continue on Skyline Road a short ways and park along the road.
All exhibitors must be through the closed and locked gate by 10:00 AM. If I can find a
volunteer, there will be someone at the gate to let you through. If not, the gate is dummy
locked. That means it just looks like it is locked. After you have gone through the gate, you
must close it and dummy lock it again. ABSOLUTELY, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
ARE YOU TO LOCK THE GATE!!!!! WAIT! DID I FORGET TO MENTION NOT TO
LOCK THE GATE??!!!
After you have come through the gate, follow the “PASA” signs. There will be other
“BLM Special Event” signs posted to direct volunteers to a tree planting project, so do not
follow these signs.
We usually meet for the draw at the staging area on Skyline Road. There is a dirt parking
area with a pit toilet and some covered areas. All dogs will be required to be on leash while at
the staging area and at all times during the test. We will be shuttling handlers/dogs out to the
test sites. Most likely we won’t have sufficient drivers to shuttle observers. We probably will
be parked by the picnic tables, but please bring a chair just in case we need to use a different
area for staging. PASA tries to be a green club, so also bring a refillable water bottle and/or
coffee cup.
To minimize damage to dirt roads, please bring any guests with you and/or carpool if
possible. Per BLM rules, there will be a $5.00 per day/per person use fee (PASA will pay for
exhibitors and workers).
Thank you so much for entering our test! We hope you will have fun and enjoy your tracking
experience! In case you need to get in touch with me, here are my phone numbers and email address:

Alternates who choose to withdraw from the
test at this point, will have their registration materials
returned and their entry fees refunded. These exhibitors and dogs
will be listed in the official test catalog but will be designated
“withdrawn.” But if an entrant withdraws, the Test Secretary
retains the entrant’s registration materials and entry fee until after
the test has been completed. The entry fee will be refunded only
if an alternate arrives to take the place of the withdrawn exhibitor.
TD/TDU certification slips are returned to exhibitors whose dogs
did not get chances to run test tracks.
Meanwhile, the ASCA Business Office has sent along a packet
of materials including a copy of the current Tracking Regulations, a
test report form, an incident report form, two copies of the Judges
Books (one for each judge), and multiple copies of official judges’
charts. There should be more than enough judges’ charts in that
packet to cover the number of tracks in the test for both judges,
with extra copies to spare. If there aren’t enough charts, the Test
Secretary orders more from the Business Office or prints more.
Also meanwhile, the Test Secretary procures regulation
tracking test articles, one set for each track. It’s good practice to
contact the judges and ask them which tracking articles they prefer
to use. For TD tracks, bandanas or sock are traditional fabric start
articles, and gloves (leather or cloth) traditional end articles. For
TDX, bandanas or socks
are the traditional start articles,
gloves or wallets traditional end articles, and
plastic, leather or cloth objects the size of a glove or a wallet
are used for the two required intermediate articles. Duplicate start
articles should be provided for all of the test tracks because start
articles sometimes go astray before the dog approaches the start
flag.. Some clubs ask the tracklayers to provide their own articles,
but this is chancy because the judges may determine that the articles
provided don’t comply with tracking regulations, and then the Test
Secretary suddenly is faced with finding suitable articles at the last
minute.

A Junior’s View
Janelle Farkas
Northridge, California
Goodbyes are Never Easy
As I sat down to wite this article, I was overcome with a wave of emotions.
As some of you know, I had to make the hardest decision
of my life, and on September 25 th , 2016, I made the
choice to say goodbye to Taxi. A year and a half ago
when she got vestibular disease, I thought I was losing
her then. The last 18 months had been awesome, but her last few
weeks were difficult, she seemed to be in pain, and seemed to be
holding on for me. And that wasn’t fair. One of the kindest things we
can do as animal owners is make sure our friends are not suffering.
I had promised myself that I would never let my inability to let go
overpower what was right for her, and so, her time had come. I let
her go. At 14 ½ years old, she had had enough, and I knew on that
day that she was telling me she was ready. Saying goodbye was
the hardest, most painful thing I have ever had to do, and yet, I am
comforted in knowing that she didn’t suffer.
I didn’t really know how to write this article. I have been
dreading this one for as long as I’ve been in the Aussie Times. I
thought that it would be an appropriate time to share how Taxi came
into my life. It is no secret that my dogs are my life, and have been
since before I got Taxi when I was nine years old. The process I
went through to get Taxi accurately depicts how I have developed
patience throughout my life. When I was seven years old, I told
my parents that I wanted a dog. I knew that I wanted to do agility
with this dog after falling in love with it after seeing it on Animal
Planet one day. My brother was five years old at the time, and my
parents were not too enthusiastic about adding a puppy to that
mix, especially since we already had one older dog at home (his
name was Mogul). I was devastated! After seeing how sad I was
that I was not going to be able to get a puppy, my parents made a
deal with me – that they would think about getting me a puppy if
I fed, walked, cleaned up after, and brushed our older dog every
day for an entire year without complaining or forgetting. Seeing
as I was seven years old, my parents thought they had outsmarted
me. Never in their scariest dreams did they think that I would have
the patience to follow through with their deal.
Lo and behold – a year later on November 23, 2000 – I
completed my year of taking care of Mogul. Now my parents were
stuck. I had developed so much patience in that year, and I was
holding them to their end of the bargain. That is when they sprung
the new deal on me; I had to read at least three books about dog
breeds and determine what I thought would be the best breed for our
family (my first real research project!). After about six months, I
finished these books and narrowed it down to three different breeds:
Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and Australian Shepherds.
My parents finally decided to follow through with their deal and we
began to look for a puppy. I was so excited! My patience had paid
off. I took the initiative to show my parents that I was 100-percent
serious about wanting a dog.
As we began the search, we could not find any Golden
Retrievers or Labrador Retrievers that we liked. However, my
mom had been e-mailing an Australian Shepherd breeder in San
Diego, Laura Diebold of Red Forrest Aussies, who was willing to
let us visit her current litter of puppies, and for that, I am eternally
grateful. We drove down to San Diego and we met the litter, then
three weeks old. I immediately fell in love with the dog who would
grow up to be my teammate, my partner, and the love of my life,
however, I knew I was not first on the waitlist, and due to her unique
coloring, I was sure she was going to be the first to go. Much to
my surprise, when it became my turn to pick up a puppy, this little
blue merle Australian Shepherd was available. Taxi came home
with us on April 13, 2002 at seven weeks old, and at that moment,
I knew, that anything was possible as long as I had a little bit of
patience. April 13, 2002 was the beginning of the rest of my life.
Taxi was not easy. She had an independent streak larger than
life. She was not easy to train. But she was easy to love. And she
loved with her whole heart. She took care of me, she took care of
my brother, and she helped raise both of us. She taught us both
perseverance, patience, love, and the benefit of hard work. She
taught me how to learn from hard times. Taxi is the reason that I
know how to adjust when things might not be going as smoothly
as I want them to. Taxi introduced me to so many amazing people
and because of her I was able to form relationships with people that
would introduce me to the school I went to and the profession I am
entering. She allowed me to meet people that would allow me to
get Jeep. She opened doors and helped me grow. Saying goodbye
to her was like saying goodbye to half of my life. I will miss her
forever, I will love her always, and I will hold her close to me for
the rest of my life.

Flynn
Bret Kofford
Imperial Valley, California
One after another they came to greet
Flynn. The employees emerged from
behind the reception desk, from the back
of the clinic, and from everywhere else
in the veterinarian’s office.
Flynn, my 11-and-a-half-year-old Australian Shepherd, has
spent a lot of time, too much time, actually, in this clinic.
Plagued for the last eight and a half years by horrific
grand-mal seizure clusters related to his epilepsy, Flynn
has had to be hospitalized many times to allow for the application
of the intravenous medications that stop the seizures.
Usually we can handle the seizures at home, but a couple
times a year, it seems, the clusters get so bad we have to get Flynn
on IVs in order for the seizing to stop. When he does go into the
clinic during such instances, Flynn is disoriented, exhausted, and
often covered with slobber residue and everything else yucky that
streams or plops from his insides when he has seizures. Frankly,
he usually is a mess in every conceivable way when he’s brought
into the clinic.
Recently I had to take in Flynn’s companion dog, Bobby, our
Maltipoo, to get his annual shots. I had taken Flynn along for the
ride, but once I got to the office I decided to have a fatty tumor on
Flynn checked.
This time when he walked into the clinic, Flynn looked pretty
good for an older dog. He was clean, bright-eyed, and engaged.
The vet’s office employees, used to seeing Flynn beaten down
by the attacks, were delighted to observe him doing so well. They
petted him, talked to him, hugged him. They told him he looked
good and let him know how wonderful it was to see him appearing
so fit and alert.
Some inquired about why he was limping, and I said he’s an
old man now and has his good days and bad days, his good hours
and bad hours, and that he likely would be walking well in 30
minutes. (He was, in 15 minutes, actually.)
Flynn was receptive to the attention … at least for Flynn. He no
doubt recognized some of the people from his days-long, sometimes
weeks-long, stays in the clinic. He almost seemed to revel in all
of the hugging, which was rare for Flynn, who is usually reserved
with people outside of his family.
He was so warmly greeted by the office employees that I could
sense jealously from some other pet owners in the office, who were
looking at him as if to say, “What’s the big deal about that dog?”
If they only knew what he’s been through, as I and the clinic
employees know they, too, might be overjoyed to see Flynn in
such good shape. We know it is remarkable he is not only alive but
doing quite well in his old age.
For me, the most heartwarming thing during the visit was to
see so much love for Flynn. Of course, the people in our house love
him supremely. We love his intelligence, we love his toughness, we
love his elegance and grace even in the hardest of times, we love
the way he cherishes those in his life with unrestrained ardor. All
humans in our home feel that way about Flynn, as have all of his
canine buddies. All of that love and admiration is not unexpected,
though.
What was unexpected, and heartwarming, was seeing how
much the people in the vet’s office love and admire Flynn, too.
It was wonderful to realize that people outside his family see the
at least some of the traits in him for which we love him so much.
They have seen him have vicious seizure after seizure in the clinic,
yet never let those seizures keep him down for long. He is tough,
smart, resilient, and fearless, and I believe the employees perceive
something remarkable in all of that.
I have made no secret of the fact that living my life with Flynn
has made me a better person: more caring, more patient, more
selfless, more appreciative of true, deep love.
I was overjoyed to see Flynn might have affected other people
in beautiful ways, too.

Envy
Elizabeth M. Jarrell
Kensington, Maryland
No one wants
to hear about
how much you
love your children,
grandchildren, dogs,
or puppies
except once or twice
in passing.
Just So.Adorable
Stuffed Aussie by Douglas
In the dog world, no one really wants to hear you pontificate,
blow by blow, about every single win or high score in your
venue of choice. No one likes an insufferable braggart, a bore.
I try very hard not to mention whatever successes my dogs
might achieve more than once – and then only to my few close
friends. Even to them, I never say that my dog is the smartest, the
handsomest, or the best.
From the moment I picked up William at the age of ten weeks, I
took him out and about. Everywhere we go, people always, of their
own volition and initiative, exclaim about his adorableness. He is
one of those pups who has a schmoie face, that certain, inexorable
cuteness that makes you want to sit him beside you on the couch
and cuddle, which is exactly what a world-class schutzhund trainer
said when meeting him. Certain young children have this same
schmoie, je ne sais quoi – the ones with the rosy apple cheeks you
just long to reach out and pinch.
And so it is with William. Perhaps he is not the most adorable,
but it is a fact that he clearly is adorable. He is adorable to the point
that he has been the target of adorable envy.
I have always maintained that if a dog is ever going to be
cute it will be when it is a puppy, God’s way of attempting to find
them homes. An ugly puppy has no hope whatsoever of becoming
an attractive or even passable looking adult. Many a cute puppy
has grown up to be merely adequate in the looks department. But
a beautiful pup almost always matures into a beautiful adult. The
same is true about an adorable pup.
Adorableness really comes down to the headpiece and attitude.
A pup either has an adorable, schmoie head or it does not. If I am
going to spend the next ten to twelve years looking at a dog, I much
88 AUSSIE TIMES January-February 2017

prefer to look at a pleasing headpiece. William has an adorable
head featuring a pronounced stop with a dish curve, and a broad
backskull complete with bright, kind eyes. Plus – he never met a
stranger. He is always happily wagging his tail, smiling as he cozies
up to everyone.
This is not just my biased opinion. Every single time I take
William on an outing, someone, most often a complete stranger
(whom I have not bribed) explains of their own accord, “My, he is
absolutely adorable!”
Being gracious by upbringing, the only possible reply is, “Why,
thank you!”
Now, when complete strangers ooh and ah about the
adorableness of your pup while toodling around town, it is one
thing. The stranger and I can have our own “William Is Adorable
Society” moment. But when people you know at dog events
start gushing about his adorableness in front of other dog show
acquaintances, some of them may just develop a case of adorable
envy.
I never initiate the adorable conversation. Very few even know
about the “William Is Adorable Society.” But it does not seem to
matter to those afflicted with adorable envy. My best recourse is
to politely smile, say thank you, and keep walking away, leaving
envious people to their own devices.
The older William gets, the more adorable he becomes. His
head is maturing to be even more schmoie. People now walk across
the street to meet him and profess his adorableness. It is almost
embarrassing.
None of my other dogs have ever had godparents. Not one,
but two people leapt forward proclaiming themselves to be his
godparents, the responsibilities of which at present remain unclear.
Upon merely seeing his photo, a dear friend of mine actually
proposed amending the breed standard to include the phrase
“an enviable air of overall adorableness.” Everyone thinks he is
completely adorable.
Have I ever said that he is the most adorable or the most
anything for that matter? No, I have not. But adorable he is. Just
come take a look for yourself. Be careful
as you cross the street.
Just so.

2016 ASCA National Finals Best Junior Handler
2015-2016 1st Place 8-12 Junior Handler
Photo: Kayla Bertagnolli
My name is Bailey Crader and I want you to meet my best pal, Gerard, AKA JJ to
me! I have had a very exciting year showing in the ASCA Junior Program. I won
the 8-12 Division in the 2015-2016. We topped off our successful year at the 2016
ASCA National Junior Handling Finals: Gerard and I were crowned Best Junior
Handler in Finals. Thank you judge, Kendra Rainwater Winans, for the win! Your
compliments, advice, and support mean so much to me.
I could not have accomplished this without the love and support of my
family. They have dedicated so much time running me all over the country to
accomplish my goals. I want to thank my trainers, Cherrie and Jennifer Cannon,
for all the time they have spent with me since the age of five. Their hard work and
dedication have helped me become the handler I am today. I knew at a young
age that I wanted to be involved with dogs, Cherrie and Jennifer gave me this
opportunity.
Gerard and I have been together for almost two years. He is my best friend
and gives me confidence each time we step into the ring. Our mutual love for
each other shows through in all we do. Gerard is always there to take care of me
and waits patiently for me to come home from school each day. I love to run and
play Hide-N-Seek with him, he is such a fun dog! I want to thank Sharon Fontanini
for sending Gerard to me and allowing him to become my best friend. He means so much to my family and me.
Winning the National Finals Best Junior Handler award is a dream I have had since my second National in Bryan, TX, where I was a Novice Junior
Handler. I am so happy to have accomplished this goal at the young age of 10.
I want to thank Randy and Kathy Bryan for the Scholarship they donated in the name of their daughter, Keely Bryan. It is greatly appreciated and will
help further my education in the future.
I love the ASCA Junior Program and the challenges it brings through difficult patterns and answering questions regarding the breed and the registry.
I have learned so much about the breed and continue to learn each day. For the past five years ASCA has been a big part of my life. I try to learn something
new every time I enter the ring. I love to handle as many different dogs as I can, because each is different and teaches me new skills. I want to thank Annette
Cyboron for allowing me to pilot Bernie to Altered Winners Dog at both Pre-Shows, Winners Dog, and Best of Winners at the National. My goal as a junior is
to become the best handler that I can be and help other juniors along the way. I am so thankful for the friendships I have developed. My favorite part of the
Nationasl is seeing my friends Avery, Jaisa, Keely, and Nivedita. I want to congratulate them on all of their success over the past year.

Bonnie Lee • Las Vegas, Nevada
HIT Rally – Wiebke Roden with
Scallywag’s Miss Sophie
As an AKC/ASCA Obedience & Rally Judge (#3729), I had the
privilege of judging Obedience and Rally for the Lowlands Australian
Shepherd Club of Belgium held in Eksel, September 23-25, 2016.
Luc Goossens, club president, along with club members Allard
Wagenaar, Harold Roij, and others, put on a first-class event and their
hospitality was outstanding!
There was a fantastic turnout for rally – over 90 entries for each trial!
Since I had been instrumental in bringing ASCA Rally to Europe (in March
2011, in Bocholt, Germany, to the Australian Shepherd Club of Germany), I
am delighted that it has developed into such a thriving event.
In Obedience and Rally, besides the regular placement ribbons, HIT, and
HC rosettes, there were prizes for placements and many beautiful special
award rosettes for the exhibitors.
Along with Conformation, the Obedience and Rally trials were held on
a well-groomed football field with plenty of room for tenting and spectators.
All three days were blessed with sunshine and pleasant temperatures! Great
Belgium food was plentiful!
I was happy to spend time and get to know the three Conformation
judges: Cynthia Clark, Jacqueline C. Matson, and Debbie Reneau.
Thank you, Lowlands ASC, for putting on a great show and promoting
this wonderful breed!

Another fun and exciting year behind me for 2016 – I have
had a very memorable year playing sports and competing in junior
handling. I have kept my parents busy with all the traveling we
have been doing all up and down the coastline of California for
Softball and Basketball. I played on the regular softball team and
went on to play for the softball All-Star team and the traveling
team. We were the District Basketball Champions this year at
Jonata Middle School and I enjoyed playing with a great group of
girls and having my dad coach us. During the weekends I was not
playing sports, my mom would take me to dog shows and I finished
the year and made the 500 Club and earned all levels in the Degree
of Excellence. I finished 2 nd in the 8-12 Junior Finals year-end, 3 rd
in the 8-12 National Finals, and took Reserve Best Junior Handler
at the Nationals, which was one of my most memorable times and
was very exciting. I had a great time and look forward to moving
up to the 13-17 year old age group
Jillian DeMont
Degrees of Excellence 1
This is my first year showing in junior handling with the ASCA
program. What I like about junior handling is that the dogs listen and
I can win cool prizes, and that I can make new friends. Mike and
Roxy are my dogs and I make tons of friends with them, because
they like everyone. They help me learn new strategies. I love when
you are so busy when it is a show weekend and you have lots of
work in front of you. I love traveling with my mom and my sister.
We all show in various sports like rally, obedience, conformation,
barn hunt, and herding. I’ve shown dogs in barn hunting, and titled
dogs in rally, and shown dogs in both junior handling as well as the
adult breed ring. I have two juniors dogs and one of them I have
put titles on. I like to make new friends like Makya. She is my best
friend when it comes to showing. This past October at a Carolina
show, I was so proud of Makya when she won Best Junior and gave
her a giant hug when she won it. That same weekend I won my
first ever Best Junior! That weekend it was just me and my mom
traveling to the show and we have lots of fun at all of the ASCA
shows. I can’t wait to keep learning!

Jesseca Hames
Jesseca Hames achieved Region 3 High Point Handling and
Degree of Excellence Level 1. She shows two dogs, Mi-T Lost Soul
of the Circle – “Cian” and Mi-T Nothing Runs Like Me – “JD.”.
Jesseca started showing in 4H when she inherited her
grandmothers golden retriever, Missy, after she was no longer able
to care for her. She started showing her mom’s Aussie, Cian, until
she got her own, JD. While she continues to show both Aussies in
4H, JD is now her main ASCA dog.
Jesseca achieved her awards, even with limited ring time. All
of her wins have come in shows hosted by OZ ASC club. She is
pictured with JD, who is also her service dog, after a successful
OZ ASC club weekend.

Frankie and I started showing together in July of 2015; never
did I think we would accomplish as much as we did in less than a
year. Together we qualified for the 500 Club in juniors and received
our RN, RAX, BN, and CD. I had so much fun training him for
obedience and he was so willing to learn. I also had a blast showing
him in juniors. He was definitely the best dog I could’ve had to
end my juniors career with and I’ll never forget our awesome year.
Now he can spend his weekends doing what he loves most, chasing
a tennis ball and laying on the couch with me.
Thank you to everyone who supported us my last year in
juniors. Especially my mom for taking me to a show every weekend,
and to Kim and John Lippert for allowing me to have Frankie.
Kaia Hrachovec
Gear, also known as ASCA Ch Zoolo’s Just A Thingamabob
CD RN CGC is the only dog Kaia has ever owned.
She has had Gear for four years. In that time, They started

CKC Championships, and have competed in Rally, Obedience, and
Junior Handling. In addition, they have started training for agility
and herding competitions.
Gear and Kaia were awarded a Best Junior Handler at the
ASCA National Specialty, and a Reserve Junior Handler at one of
the pre-shows.

Tifani King
with Everready Intoxicating Story CD RAX RAC – Whisper
From Whisper’s co-owner:
This team came together on a twist of fate in May 2014 at an
AKC show in Eau Claire, WI. Tifani was debuting in juniors with
her dog when the dog had a medical issue and their entry needed
to be pulled. As fate would have it, the judge was at the table and
told her if she could find another dog, he would let her show. One
sad young nine-year-old and her family came into the grooming
area where I was getting my young dog ready to show. Tifani said
to her family, “Where are we going to find another dog?” Fearing
something dreadful had happened, I asked what was wrong. They
told me the tale of woe and, before I could restrain myself, I said,
“Well, Whisper is here if you need someone.” Tifani met her and
said she wanted to give it a try. A show lead, a dog and an eager
young gal and out the building they went to try a down and back. I
held my breath ’cuz sometimes Whisper was not happy with young
people. Big smile and an “’I’ve got this!!” and off they went. I
intended this to be a temporary fix but after spending 20 minutes
together they showed in novice junior and won second place out of
four. Since there was an ASCA show weekend the next weekend,
we entered her for additional ring time. She did fine; got one reserve
best junior. Well, the writing was on the wall, so we added her as a
co-owner in both AKC & ASCA. For the year ending 5-31-2015,
she won Region 4 in novice junior, moved up to open junior and
for the year ending 5-31-2016, she won Region 4 again, this time
with 320 points. Sometimes things are just meant to be. They share
the same birthday; Tif was born 10-2-2004, Whisper on 10-2-2008.
I would not have missed this journey for a zillion bucks.
Megan McKervey
This year has been a “crossroad” for me. I am now 15 and a
sophomore. I took this year to focus on having fun with my new
junior’s dog. Nurturing and training a puppy has been quite the
adventure.
I decided to breed my junior’s dog, Rumor, CH Skylines
Vicious Rumor. She has been such a special part of my life. A
decision that I did not take lightly, as this was her first and probably
only litter. This purposefully bred litter produced my new puppy,
Edsel, Full Throttles Classic Ride. I fell in love with this puppy
immediately and knew he was “the one” to help me continue on
my journey with this wonderful breed. I have never met a smarter
pair of dogs. He is now 11 months old. I could not trust either of
these dogs more.
I would like to thank everyone who has helped me along the
way, and taken the time to mentor me. I hope someday I will learn
enough to “pay it forward.” As always, I am looking forward to
Nationals this year. I love to see and visit with the friends I have
made along the way. I hope to see you guys soon!

Alyssa Morgan
Hello, my name is Alyssa Morgan, age 17. I am a senior
at Ponderosa High School in Parker, Colorado. My mom, Terri
Morgan, is an ASCA Senior Breeder Judge; our family kennel,
Calais & Carolina, compete in Stock trails, Conformation and
Showmanship. She introduced me to “showing dogs” at the young
age of four years. She taught my sister Ashley (age five) and
younger sister Madison (15 months old) to love showing. My older
sister Libby has been very instrumental in our success as juniors.
Our everyday life revolves around dogs. It is rewarding to
have had success in almost every area. As the years have flown
by we have been all over the country showing dogs. I started with
Dillion, who was my temporary junior dog. As the years went on
I had Calais Carolina I Can Only Imagine “Maggie.” Now I have
Calais Carolina DoALittleDance, “Disco.” I participate in Altered
with Disco. Disco has been my companion for six years now. She
is a loving dog with an awesome personality. I have just recently
started doing stock with her. Her mother was a great stock dog. I
hope that Disco and I can follow in her footsteps. I am so lucky to
have Disco as my junior dog.
I have two people who have influenced me in the “show world.”
I can’t thank my older sister Libby and my mom, Terri Morgan,
enough for all they have done for me in the “show world.” My older
sister Libby was a former junior. She was one of the top juniors
when she was competing in juniors. Libby is one of my idols in the
show world. Since my mom is a Senior Breeder Judge she has also
helped me tremendously though my years. I love traveling with
both of them because they make things fun and interesting. I love
hearing stories of Libby’s years of juniors. I remember wanting to
be like my mom and Libby when I was little. I still want to be like
them but I know more about the dogs now than I did back then.
Now Libby is a Senior Breeder Judge and does a great job judging
just like my mother. I hope one day I can be a Senior Breeder Judge
just like them!
I may be just 17 but I have a lot of knowledge thanks to my
older sister and my mother. I don’t know where I would be without
them. I love both them so much! I can’t describe how much both
of them have done for me. I’m glad I have them in my life. I love
you, Lib and Mom!!!!!
Ashley Morgan
My name is Ashley Morgan and in 2016 I qualified for juniors
finals. I want to thank my mom, Aunt Selena, and my older sisterm
Libby, they all helped me to get there. I can’t thank them enough.
I want to thank Taylor, my junior dog for working with me; she
is an amazing show dog! I am proud of her, she did more then I
wanted her to do. Thanks to my mom and the rest of the Calais/
Carolina team for letting me show her. In junior finals this year
Taylor and I placed fourth. That was amazing for both of us. I never
expected to place in junior finals. I was so happy with Taylor she
did an amazing job in juniors. I love all our dogs and Taylor is my
most favorite dog. Taylor made me so happy after my dog Charlie
died this summer, that was rough. Taylor made everything better,
she makes me smile and I love her so much. Thanks to my family
who supported me this year at nationals!!! Love you, guys.

A lot of progress in both training and trialing my dogs was made this
past year. I’ve enjoyed the journey of watching them develop into great
partners as our teamwork grows stronger, and I look forward to our future
endeavors.
In agility, Jelli (ATCH Halfmoon All The Right Stuff) earned her
ATCH and Smarty (ATCH-VI Halfmoon Smarty Pants STDs RN) earned
her ATCH-VI. Both of these girls have helped me so much as a trainer and
handler. Smarty has been there since Day One, when I was eight years old
and and she was was just a puppy. We have won together and lost together,
and each experience has been a learning opportunity. I could not have
asked for a better first dog. Following in her footsteps, Atlas (Ivyfarm I’ll
Stop The World STDc OTDsd GJ-E-SP RJ-E JJ-E RNX RAX RM) and
Quiz (Ivyfarm I’ll Stop And Think STDd GJ-E RJ-O JJ-E RNX RAX)
earned some more elite agility titles, and Atlas worked his way closer to
an ATCH. These two are so special to me because they were our first litter
and born in my bedroom. Their dam, Hula (CH Halfmoon Belli Dancing
OTDs GJ-E-OP RJ-E JJ-E-OP RN), is also close to finishing her ATCH.
Atlas and Quiz had some nice scores in rally to finish their RAX›s,
and I›m excited to see them working in the higher levels this year. The
highlight of the year for me was the progress that we made with our stock
work. After a lot of time and hard work, I was able to compete in my first
ASCA stock trial this qualification year. Quiz and Atlas got some Started
titles and Open legs, and Hula finished her Started and Open Sheep titles.
I learned a lot in working junior as well. It’s a great class to gain more
trial experience and prepare for open. We ended up with an average of 121
in cattle, 120.5 in sheep, and 124 in ducks. It all came together in the fall
when Atlas and I were Most Versatile Junior at the Tennessee nationals.
In the future, I hope to keep this good momentum going and to continue
to expand my knowledge of training in various dog sports. I would first
and foremost like to thank my parents for all of the “miles and trials” and
supporting me throughout the years. I truly couldn’t have done it without
your help and advice. I would also like to thank the judges, clubs holding
trials, all of the mentors and trainers and friends who have helped me
get started and work through rough spots, and ASCA for its wonderful
juniors program.
Klayton Yarber
Hello, my name is Klayton Yarber. I have been showing
dogs for four years now. I have been privileged to have a great
teammate and best buddy, Flair, who has brought me so far in the
Junior’s ring. It is a great honor to have achieved my Degree of
Excellence III for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. The ASCA Junior
Handling program has helped me in many ways. It has taught
me responsibility and good sportsmanship. It has improved
my handling skills and strengthened my relationship with my dog.
The program also has taught me to work hard to achieve goals that
are important to me. Thank you to each judge for my placements
and to all my friends who have supported me in this journey.

Advertising and Publishing Guidelines
(rev. 1/01)
A. When stating that a title (e.g., “Champion”)
or a verification (e.g., OFA grading) has
been completed, said certificate must
be received by the advertiser before they
make such a statement.
B. It is up to the individual advertiser whether
or not to list puppy prices and/or stud fees.
C. When submitting a dog’s OFA grading, list
both the grade and the number.
D. All ASCA conformation, obedience,
working, and agility title honorary degrees
earned by a particular dog according to
the rules and regulations of ASCA must
be verified through the proper channels.
E. Advertisers must be willing and able to
verify any statement immediately upon
the request of the Editor and/or the ASCA
Board.
F. The Aussie Times will publish only one
letter or article per author in any single
issue. Exceptions include: ASCA Officers
and Board; ASCA Appointed Officers;
and Times Editor and Associate Editors.
Recognized affiliate clubs will be allowed
one article or letter, following the regional
schedule, in addition to their club activity
report. This does not mean they are entitled
to a free, full-page ad.
G. An advertiser who has reserved inside
covers must notify the Editor, in writing,
no later that one week (7 days) before the
deadline of the reserved issue if the cover
will not be used. Failure to do so will result
in the loss of the paid deposit.
H. Letters to the Editor must be no longer
than 250 words. Short, typed letters of
150 words or less are preferred. Your
letters must be signed and include your
address and phone number. Addresses
and phone numbers will not be printed
unless requested by the author. The editor
reserves the right to reject letters that are
too long, libelous, or contain personal
attacks.
