Getting Down to Business 

From the President 

Hello! This is the Nationals issue! We get to look back at the 

highlights of 2016 in Oregon, and we look forward to the 2017 

celebration in Bryan, Texas. Thank you, Cynthia, for all of the 

extra work it always takes to put this special issue together. 

Since this is ASCA’s 60 th birthday year, the 2017 Texas 

Consortium needs your help. We are putting together a slideshow, 

commemorating 60 years of ASCA history, to be shown at the 

Friday Banquet. If you have stories or photos to contribute, or if 

you have suggestions on what we should include, please email me 

(chaseaussies@aol.com) or a member of the History Committee. 

Please share your photos and memories! 

We also need your help in recognizing ASCA’s special 

volunteers. Volunteers are the backbone of ASCA! Do you know 

someone who consistently dedicates himself or herself to ASCA, 

someone who serves tirelessly and deserves some recognition 

for his/her contribution? Each Affiliate may submit the name of 

one volunteer for recognition. Encourage your Affiliate to send a 

nominee to Executive Secretary Kalla Jaco. 

In April, the Board will meet in Bryan, Texas, for our annual 

Spring Meeting. One of the items on our agenda is going over 

ASCA’s Strategic Plan. If you have something that you think the 

Board should address this year, let us hear from you. As Henry 

Ford said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is 

progress; working together is success.” Sixty years ago we had a 

beginning. Being the largest independent breed-specific club in 

the United States is progress. Let’s continue to work together for 

the success of the club and breed we love! 

Working to preserve and promote the Australian Shepherd!

November 2016 Secretary’s Report 

This report details the day-to-day activities of the ASCA Board of 

Directors. It includes issues brought before the Board of Directors 

through mail, fax, e-mail, and/or telephone communications. 

This report is respectfully submitted by Kalla Jaco, Executive 

Secretary. 


a Member and Chair. Again, her calm demeanor in the face of 

challenge helped to mold the Stockdog Program into a program 

that is enjoyed by all today. Linda also participated successfully in 

the stock arena with several dogs – her last being Dylan. 

Linda’s sense of logic and no-nonsense approach made her 

the perfect candidate for stepping up to chair a floundering ASCA 

Committee when requested to do so by the ASCA BOD. Her efforts 

to get the Committee back on track and working smoothly took 

months, but she persevered. That Committee is fully functional 

today and stands as a testament to Linda’s efforts. 

Linda Mahoney is missed by all that knew her, especially in 

the ASCA family. Her support of ASCA and the Membership will 

not be forgotten. 

Effective date: Upon BOD approval.

Board Email Motions 

November 2016 

BD.16.136 ASCA QUICKBOOKS FOR BUDGET 

Approve: Unanimous; Motion carries. 

Motion by Wesen; second by Vest: I motion to use the ASCA 

QuickBooks accounts for budgeting purposes. This will provide a 

consistent accounting/financial methodology going forward. 

Comment: Moving to the ASCA QuickBooks accounts for 

budgeting will maintain a consistency in ASCA’s financials and 

will not require changes when the Treasury position is changed. 

Effective date: Immediate upon BOD approval 

BD.16.137 MEMORIAL FOR LINDA MAHONEY 


Motion by Vest; second by Gray: We motion to approve a memorial 

donation of $100 from ASCA on behalf of Linda Mahoney who 

most regrettably passed away in September 2016. Linda’s family 

requested that the donation be made to the ASCA Foundation in 

support of ASCA’s DNA program. 

Comment: Linda was one of the original members of the ASCA 

DNA Committee and was an avid supporter of the project. Her 

rational and pragmatic approach helped the committee to achieve 

the success it enjoys today. 

Linda was also instrumental in ASCA stockdog program as she 

served many terms on the ASCA Stockdog Committee, both as 

BD.16.138 FROGSLAYER HOSTING/MAINTENANCE 

STATEMENT OF WORK OCT 2016 - SEPT 2017 


Motion by Vest; second by Wesen: We motion to approve the 

attached FrogSlayer Statement of Work (SOW) for hosting/ 

maintenance of the ASCA system/website. This SOW provides 

for 12 months of ongoing cloud-based hosting services, beginning 

October 1, 2016 thru September 30, 2017. Total cost of the SOW 

is $18,000.00, with the first payment due immediately and the 

remainder to be paid quarterly. ASCA will be responsible for 

maintaining the quarterly payment schedule as defined in the 

SOW. 

Comment: FrogSlayer designed ASCA’s new system and to 

ensure continuity and prevent systems issues, they have been 

chosen to maintain/host the new system and website. FrogSlayer 

management/hosting will include/but not limited to the following: 

source code repository, associated databases, web services, staging 

sites and any other key software components, miscellaneous 

infrastructure tasks like: port handling, SSL setup, firewall 

management, server sandboxing, logging and reporting, security 

testing, etc., nightly backups of data and VM images across all 

EC2 cloud servers, server OS software licenses and regular OS 

updates across all EC2 cloud servers. Includes built-in support 

time from FrogSlayer’s Director of IT & DevOps to: (1) monitor 

infrastructure on an ongoing basis and (2) handle issues as they 

arise. Future system hosting/maintenance contracts/SOWs will be 

negotiated on a yearly basis by ASCA. 

Effective date: Upon approval by the BOD. 

BD.16.140 SYMPATHY CARDS FOR DECEASED ASCA 

MEMBERS 


Motion by Vest; second by Gray: We motion to provide an ASCA 

sympathy card to deceased members that have gone above and 

beyond in their support of ASCA and the Australian Shepherd. 

These are members that have tirelessly donated their time and 

effort in support of ASCA’s programs, committees, and venues. 

Sympathy card requests for a Member that meets these 

standards will come from the BOD to the ASCA Business Office. 

The BOD will provide additional detail regarding the Member’s 

contributions to the Business Office. 


To be added to the Policy Book as follows: 

Policy Book: 9.11 SYMPATHY CARDS 


Tracking Rulebook at the next printing date. 

Effective date: Upon approval by the BOD. 

Comment: The BOD believes that a sympathy card from ASCA is a 

tangible recognition to affirm the deceased Members contribution 

to ASCA. 


BD.16.142 RECOGNITION OF JUNIORS IN 

PERFORMANCE EVENTS (REVISED) 

Approve: DeChant, Gray, Silveira, Vest, Wesen 

Oppose: Gibson, King, Roberts 

Abstain: None 

Non-Voting: None 

Motion carries. 

Comment from Gibson: The deadline for this issue of the Aussie 

Times has passed. I recommend we recognize these juniors with 

photos in the Nationals issue of the AT. 

Comment from King: While I support ASCA’s juniors and believe 

we need to recognize their achievements I think this motion needs 

more work. I think the National junior winners in all venues should 

be recognized in the Nationals AT issue. I think the year-end 

junior winners should be recognized in the Junior AT issue. This 

motion only recognizes some of the junior winners at Nationals. I 

think this motion should go to the junior committee for their work 

to cover all juniors and their achievements for Nationals and year 

end. 

Motion by Wesen; second by Vest: I motion to recognize the 

ASCA Nationals Juniors in Performance events in the Jan-Feb 

Junior edition of Aussie Times. HIT Junior – each performance 

event ½ page in the Jan-Feb Aussie Times. MVJ Winner – Back 

cover of Jan-Feb Aussie Times. 

Comment: Recognition of ASCA’s Juniors is critical to the future 

of our performance programs. It is imperative that the BOD 

ensures that they receive the deserved recognition. 


BD.16.143 TRACKING COMMITTEE MISSION 

STATEMENT (REVISED) 


Motion by Wesen; second by Vest: We motion to approve the 

ASCA Tracking Committee’s Mission Statement as provided by 

the Committee: 

The ASCA Tracking Committee is dedicated to maintaining and 

growing a highly regarded, non-competitive tracking program for 

the global ASCA community, a program that encourages humancanine 

teamwork and showcases the Australian Shepherd’s natural 

scenting ability, extraordinary focus, and drive to complete a 

mission. 

Comment: The Mission Statement will be displayed at the top of 

the Tracking Committee information on the ASCA website. The 

Mission Statement will also be added to the top of page 1 of the 

BD.16.145 MORATORIUM ON NEW AGILITY 

LICENSEES 


Motion by Roberts; second by Vest: I move that the ASCA Board 

of Directors immediately set a moratorium on approving any new 

Agility Licensees until such time that licensees have been phased 

out or the Board has approved new guidelines. 

The moratorium passed by the Board in July was for 60 days and 

has expired. 

The Agility committee is working on new guidelines, however we 

are also exploring whether the licensees would rather just convert 

to an affiliate club.

MOST VERSATILE AUSSIE COMMITTEE 

MV.16.08 Clarification of highest score, addition of Breed 

Standard 


Motion by Silveira: I move we approve the following 

recommendation from the MVA Committee. 

There are four changes. 

Rule Clarifications - 2016.08.2 

Motion by Renee Watson 

Second by Andrea Hoffman 

Motion statement: I move to amend the Rule book with the 

clarifications as listed below. None of these changes affect how 

MVA is scored. 

Change #1 - 

1.1.8 OBEDIENCE - Original 

A. The highest qualifying score from a regular class will be used 

to compute MVA points. 

B. Points will be computed using a 3% factor as follows: 

- Utility = Score plus 10 points 

- Open = Score 

- Novice = Score minus 10 points 

1.1.8 OBEDIENCE - Suggested 

A. The highest qualifying score from a regular class will be used 

to compute MVA points. Highest score is defined as the score that 

will result in the highest number of MVA points.

Change #4: Add the Breed Standard to the Rule Book. We will 

insert at the back of the Rule Book prior to the Evaluation form. 

Special Rationale: In our conversation around the evaluation 

form, we felt it would be helpful to have the Breed Standard as 

part of the MVA Rule Book. 

Comments/Rationale: There was some confusion around the 

wording of these sections of the rules. We felt it necessary to 

define within the different programs what was meant by “highest 

score.” 

Effective date: This motion will go into effect at the next printing 

of the applicable Rule Book.

MV.16.09 Revised MVA Evaluation Form 

Approve: DeChant, Gray, Roberts, Silveira, Vest, Wesen 

Oppose: Gibson 

Abstain: King 



Comment from Gibson: The instructions on the form call for 

the judge to give NS to cryptorchid dogs, yet altered dogs, dogs 

with no testicles, are eligible to compete. I think this needs to be 

clarified. Other than that, I support this motion. 

Motion by Silveira: I move we accept the following 

recommendation from the MVA Committee. 

Revised MVA Evaluation Form - 2016.08.1 

Motion by Anne Shope; second by Andrea Hoffman: 

Motion statement: I move to approve the MVA Evaluation form as 

updated and presented and that this form replace the one currently 

in the Rule book. 


Comments/Rationale: The form has been revised to make it 

easier for the judges performing the MVA evaluations to score the 

dogs and also clarify how a dog which may have disqualifying 

faults according to the Breed Standard should be scored. It is the 

combined opinion of the Committee that any dog with a DQ fault 

should not be eligible to receive a qualifying score in the MVA 

competition. In the revised form, judges are instructed to give the 

dog with a DQ fault a NS=No Score on the evaluation form. This 

means the dog does not receive a score and as such will not be 

eligible for a qualifying score in the MVA competition. The form 

as revised is patterned after the form used for the Conformation 

Finals and as revised will award the dog a potential of 100 points, 

rather than 90 as previously structured. 

1.1.5 CONFORMATION (See Appendix A) New Form will need 

to be inserted into Appendix A 

A. The MVA evaluator must be an ASCA breeder judge; a senior 

breeder judge is preferred but is not mandatory. An ASCA 

provisional breeder judge cannot be an MVA evaluator. The 

MVA evaluator will be allowed to show prior or subsequent 

to the day of the MVA evaluation. Further, any dog(s) owned 

by the evaluator may compete in any and all programs, 

other than MVA, on the same day that the evaluations are 

performed, provided the handler is someone other than that 

evaluator. Members of the evaluator’s immediate family may 

handle the dog. If the evaluator is judging other classes or 

programs in addition to the MVA evaluation at the cluster, the 

ASCA rules pertaining to that judging shall take precedence. 

B. Ninety One Hundred points are available. The form and point 

schedule used will be provided to the evaluator. 

C. This class will not be placed and no awards will be given. The 

score given by the evaluator will be used. 

D. Only Australian Shepherds with full registration privileges 

will be allowed to compete in MVA. No LEP/Tracking 

number registered dogs will be allowed in MVA. This class 

is open to spayed and neutered animals as well as intact 

animals. 

Effective date: This motion will go into effect at the next printing 

of the applicable Rule Book.

STOCKDOG COMMITTEE 

SD.16.25 Chapter 24.2.4.d, Include G & H for Finals Point 


Motion by Gibson: I make a motion to correct the wording in 

Chapter 24, section 2.4 d regarding qualifying points towards 

Stockdog finals, as recommended by the SDC. 

Subject: Chapter 24.2.4.d, Include G & H for Finals Point 

Effective Date: June 1, 2017 

Motion by Judy Deshazo: second by Wayne Kirby: 



Motion Statement: I make a motion to correct the wording in 

Chapter 24, section 2.4 d regarding qualifying points towards 

Stockdog finals. 

Rationale: The new courses, G and H, need to be added to the list 

of courses to be used for finals points in the ASCA Stockdog rule 

book, Chapter 24, Section 2.4 d. 

Current Wording: 

24.2.4 d 

Qualifying points towards eligibility in the Stockdog Finals for 

each class of stock are earned in the following ways: 

d. One point for each qualifying score that earns High In Trial 

Aussie in Class of Stock (Cattle, Sheep/Goats, Ducks/Geese) at a 

trial for Course A, B, C, D, E or F. 

Proposed Change: 

24.2.4 d 

Qualifying points towards eligibility in the Stockdog Finals for 

each class of stock are earned in the following ways: 

d. One point for each qualifying score that earns High In Trial 

Aussie in Class of Stock (Cattle, Sheep/Goats, Ducks/Geese) at a

SD.16.26 Judges scribing, timing, etc. for other Judges during 

Stockdog Finals 

Approve: DeChant, Gibson, Gray, King, Roberts, Silveira 

Oppose: Vest, Wesen 

Abstain: None 



Comment from Vest: The rationale on this motion is faulty as no 

complaints were filed regarding the alleged incidents. Minus a 

complaint, this type of allegation is considered as gossip or 

hearsay. Using this as a basis to create a motion that insults the 

integrity and most certainly does question the honesty of Stockdog 

Judges is not a positive statement from ASCA. The motion 

specifies Stockdog Judges as the issue, thereby impugning their 

character and integrity. I am concerned that passage of this motion 

may have a trickle-down effect to local SD trials. In many cases, 

especially at the AM/PM trials, one SD Judge will time/scribe for 

the other as volunteers are scarce. Passage of this motion may 

call this practice into question........after all the Finals points are 

earned at local SD trials. The damage that this motion will do 

is long term, possibly at the local SD trialing level as well as it 

removes any semblance of trust ASCA professes to have in its 

Stock Judges. 

Comment from Wesen: Hardship on clubs for manpower. Many of 

the BOD are Stockdog judges. This should be across the board to 

all finals.

Motion by Gibson: I make a motion to include a rule in the 

Stockdog Rule Book, Chapter 24, Section 9.3 preventing any 

ASCA Stockdog Judge from scribing, timing, or conversing with 

a finals Judge while a run is being judged, as recommended by 

the SDC. 

Subject: Judges scribing, timing, etc. for other Judges during 




judges will still feel like this motion insults their integrity and 

questions their honesty. 

Comment from Kirby: The BOD is supposed to work the finals. 

With this 6 of the BOD would not be able to help with the finals. 

The new rule states judge not Stockdog judge also. I don’t think a 

Stockdog judge should time, scribe or seat with a Stockdog judge 

when he/she is judging a trial. 

Motion by Maxine Schvaneveldt; second by Marti Parrish: 

Motion Statement: I make a motion to include a rule in the 

Stockdog Rule Book, Chapter 24, Section 9.3 preventing any 

ASCA Stockdog Judge from scribing, timing, or conversing with 

a finals Judge while a run is being judged. 

Rationale: For the past three years at finals, there have been 

Judges seated with and scribing for finals Judges. Each year has 

caused discussion and concern among the contestants. The three 

years in question have not involved the same Judges, so it appears 

to be more widespread than one or two individuals. By including 

this rule in Chapter 24, controversy can be avoided in the future 

by eliminating the appearance of possible outside influence of 

a finals Judge. This is not a statement calling into question the 

integrity of our Judges, but a statement that will prevent any 

questions being asked and which will allow the Judges to feel less 

pressure from observers while they are Judging. This rule clarifies 

what is acceptable and describes a situation which will prevent 

future complaints. 

Current Wording: 

24.9.3 

Judges must be placed apart from spectators and each other (it 

will be the Host Club’s responsibility to see that appropriate 

seating is made available by roping off designated “Judges’ area” 

and placing table/chairs in appropriate places surrounding the 

working arena. 

Proposed Change: 

24.9.3 

Judges must be placed apart from spectators and each other. It 

will be the Host Club’s responsibility to see that appropriate 

seating is made available by roping off designated “Judges’ area” 

and placing table/chairs in appropriate places surrounding the 

working arena. 

a. No Judge, whether Apprentice, Provisional, or Regular, may 

time, scribe, sit with, or have a conversation with a finals Judge 

while a finals run is being judged. 

Results of committee vote: 

Approve: 10 

Disapprove: 2 

Abstain: None 

Non-voting: 1 

Comment from Landry: Our stockdog judges already prescribe to 

a vigorous Judges’ Code of Ethics. I can’t help but believe that

INTRODUCTION TO COMMITTEE PROCEDURES 

Introduction to the Committee Procedures Handbook 

ASCA’s standing committees serve in assisting the ASCA 

Board of Directors in advancing the interests of the Australian 

Shepherd and encouraging sportsmanlike competition at ASCA 

shows and trials. Members with relevant expertise provide an 

important service to ASCA through their participation on these 

committees. The Board of Directors encourages members to send 

in their resumes to fulfill this valuable role in ASCA’s success. 

The purposes of ASCA’s standing committees are as follows: 

1) to serve as program experts and to advise the Board of 

Directors, as needed 

2) to work on directives from the Board of Directors 

3) to monitor the rule books for possible improvements and 

updates on an annual basis 


4) to consider new programs that will help preserve or 

promote ASCA and the Australian Shepherd 

5) to share information about ASCA’s programs with the 

general public 

6) to improve and grow ASCA’s programs 

7) to increase participation in ASCA’s programs and in 

ASCA as a whole 

In an effort to achieve these purposes, all standing committees 

will set goals for themselves each year, as part of ASCA’s 

Strategic Plan. These goals will guide and focus the work of the 

committees. 

BD.16.148 INTRODUCTION TO COMMITTEE

ASCA-L 

The Board discussed appointing four moderators for the ASCA-L. 

Their duties would be to keep things polite and on topic. Those

experience in moderating lists or groups. Roberts will send out 

a request for resumes and the Board will revisit at the December 

meeting. 

COMMITTEE LIAISONS 

This topic has been moved to the December meeting. The Board 

would like Counsel to be present.

TRANSLATION OF CONFORMATION JUDGE TEST 

The Board is attempting to have the conformation breeder judge 

test translated into German. This is to satisfy the request of a 

member to be allowed to re-take the test in her native language. 

DeChant will contact a member to ask for their assistance with 

the translation. 

We are going to work on having all judge tests, for all programs, 

offered in the judge’s native language. We are starting with the 

conformation test because of an urgent need. 

Société Centrale Canine de France 

The Société Centrale Canine de France (under the FCI) is 

considering closing their stud book, and would only accept dogs 

with AKC registration going forward. They would no longer 

recognize dogs that are only registered with ASCA. Gibson will 

write a letter to the club and ask them to reconsider their decision, 

explaining to them ASCA’s reach and importance to the breed, as 

well as our relationship with CKC.

BD.16.151 RALLY COMMITTEE MISSION STATEMENT 


Motion by Vest; second by Wesen: We motion to approve the 

ASCA Rally Committee’s Mission Statement as provided by the 

Committee: 


Serving ASCA, the affiliate clubs and the exhibitors with their 

canine partners by ensuring ASCA Rally remains the best rally 

program available.

Rally Rulebook at the next printing date. 

Effective date: Upon BOD approval

STATEMENT 

Approve: DeChant, Gibson, Vest 

Oppose: Gray, King, Kissman, Roberts, Silveira, Wesen

Comment from Kissman: The History Committee should make a 

statement as to their mission instead of identifying their feelings. 

BD.16.153 ASCA SOCIAL MEDIA PHOTO POLICY 

Approve: DeChant, Gibson, King, Kissman, Roberts, Vest, Wesen 

Oppose: Gray, Silveira 


Comment from Silveira: This is the same guide that has been used 

for years. The question was how to better define what photographic 

presentation to the general public would be appropriate. An 

attempt was made to explain the fact that demonstrating excessive 

to severe faults on the ASCA Web Page would have the negative 

effect of advertising to those with little knowledge of this breed 

that ASCA approves of dogs that are presented with excessive or 

severe faults. New people to our breed have been known to fall 

in love with Aussies that are excessive white. This may not be in 

keeping with our desire to preserve and protect our Aussie. 

Motion by Vest; second by Gibson: I make a motion to establish a 

policy for photographs that are published on ASCA social media 

sites. 

Photo Policy 

Photos that are published on the ASCA Facebook and/or Website 

have the following requirements. 

• Photos are selected with the Breed Standard in consideration 

• No obvious advertising of a particular dog, unless noted 

otherwise within the header – example, Nationals Winners 

• No obvious Miniature Australian Shepherd, North American 

Shepherd, North American Miniature Australian Shepherd, 

Miniature American Shepherd, and/or Toy/Teacup Australian 

Shepherd breeds 

• High quality images that illustrate good photography 

techniques 

ASCA reserves the right to use all photos sent in for publication 

with no requirement of a signed release. No photo will be used for 

profit or sold by ASCA. 

To be added to Policy Book as follows: 

21.1.a Webmaster Posting of Photographs on ASCA Social Media 

Sites 

Comment: To clarify ASCA’s policy on photographs that are sent 

in for publication on ASCA social media sites. The policy will be 

posted on ASCA’s social media sites and will be employed as a 

guide by the Webmaster for choosing photographs for publication. 


Comment from Roberts: Too verbose, not succinct about their 

mission. I think using just the first sentence would be a better 

statement. 

Comment from Wesen: This is way to long for a mission statement. 

Motion by Vest; second by DeChant: We make a motion to 

approve the ASCA History Committee’s Mission Statement as 

provided by the Committee: 

It is the Mission of the ASCA History Committee to preserve the 

History of ASCA thru old documents, letters and other types of 

correspondence. We also seek Members we feel have given of 

themselves above and beyond the everyday love of the breed and 

ASCA itself. This Committee feels we must protect our past, we 

the members of the committee feel that knowledge of our past is 

a way to honor our future, we strive to preserve and protect the 

proud heritage of ASCA and our Australian Shepherd. 

Comment: The Mission Statement will be displayed at the top of 

the History Committee information on the ASCA website. 


BD.16.155 JUNIOR COMMITTEE MISSION STATEMENT 

Approve: Unanimous 


Motion by Vest; second by King: We motion to approve the 

ASCA Junior Committee’s Mission Statement as provided by the 

Committee: 

To encourage, guide and support all Junior competitors and 

promote Junior participation in the ASCA programs. 

Comment: The Mission Statement will be displayed at the top 

of the Junior Committee information on the ASCA website. The 


Junior Rulebook at the next printing date. 


BD.16.156 Change to Policy 7.7.2 Awards 

Approve: DeChant, Gibson, King, Roberts, Silveira, Vest, Wesen 

Oppose: None 

Abstain: Gray, Kissman 



Comment from Kissman: I was not privy to the discussion on this 

motion since I have just been appointed to the ASCA Board. 

Motion by Vest; second by Silveira: We move to revise Policy 

7.7.2: 

Current wording: 

7.7.2 Awards 

The Lifetime Achievement Award designee will be honored 

at the Nationals Banquet, if they wish to attend, and receive a 

complimentary lifetime ASCA membership. The honoree(s) will 

receive a free 1-year subscription to the Aussie Times. 

Change to read: 

7.7.2 Awards 

The Lifetime Achievement Award designee will be honored at 

the Nationals Banquet, if he or she wishes to attend, and will be 

awarded an ASCA Honorary Membership for his or her lifetime, 

pursuant to Article 4, Section 1 D of the Bylaws. As an Honorary 

Member, the designee will not be required to pay membership 

fees and if they chose to do so, shall receive the Aussie Times 

without paying a subscription fee. 


Comment: In order to keep track of honorees and the free 

Aussie Times subscription, the Business Office should query the 

honorees to determine if they still wish to receive the Times. The 

subscription will be discontinued if they so choose. 


BD.16.158 HONORING PAUL KIRK 



Motion by Silveira; second by Gray: I move that the ASCA 

Board of Directors reward Paul Kirk with an Honorary Lifetime 

Membership and a half page ad in the next issue of the Aussie 

Times for his years of service to ASCA. 

This motion shall supersede and replace the previous motion 

awarding Paul Kirk a Lifetime Membership. 

Effective upon passage by the ASCA Board of Directors. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS 

Comment: Clarification of the Lifetime Achievement Award and 

ASCA Honorary Membership awards. 


BD.16.157 CHANGE TO POLICY 7.7.3 AUSSIE TIMES 

Approve: DeChant, Gibson, King, Roberts, Silveira, Vest, Wesen 

Oppose: None 






Motion by Vest; second by Silveira: I move to revise Policy 7.7.3 

as follows: 


7.7.3 Aussie Times 

After the year of free Aussie Times, the honoree(s) will be sent a 

renewal notice letting them know the issues of the Aussie Times 

will cease. The notice will give the lifetime member(s) the option 

of renewing the subscription to the Aussie Times for the current 

fee if the lifetime member(s) wishes to renew. 

Revise to read: 

7.7.3 Aussie Times 

Every 5 years the Business Office will query all honorees to confirm 

that they wish to continue the free Aussie Times subscription. 

If they no longer wish to receive the publication they will be 

removed from distribution. If at a later date any honoree would 

like to resume the free Aussie Times publication, they will need to 

contact the Business Office to be added back to the distribution. 

If an honoree prefers to receive the on-line Aussie Times versus a 

hard copy, they will need to contact the Business Office.

Conformation Committee 

CO.16.12 Interim Judging Assignments 



Motion by DeChant: I move to approve the motion from the 

Conformation Committee correcting the discrepancy in the rules 


egarding the assignments that can be used to move up to Senior 

Breeder Judge. 

Motion by Liz Gibson; second by Regi Bryant: I, Liz Gibson, 

make the following motion. 


worked as an ASCA Provisional Breeder Judge or as an 

ASCA Approved Breeder Judge only. 

D. Judging assignments must be completed in regular classes 

as published in the ASCA Conformation Show Rules and 

Regulations. 

Effective date: Upon approval of the ASCA Board of Directors. 

Reasons: This change fixes the conflicting information in the 

requirements to allow interim assignments to be used for judging 

experience. We all know there is lag time between an application 

to move up and actual approval by the ASCA Board of Directors. 

These interim assignments should count. 


SENIOR BREEDER JUDGE REQUIREMENTS 

Before applying for Senior Breeder Judge status, the following 

requirements must be met: 

A. Must be an ASCA Approved Breeder Judge. 

B. Must have completed ten (10) judging assignments with a 

minimum of fifteen (15) entries each at ASCA Sanctioned 

Conformation shows as an ASCA Approved Breeder Judge 

and/ or interim assignments while awaiting final approval 

from the ASCA Board of Directors. 

C. Five (5) qualifying judging assignments must be worked 

outside of the state/province the applicant resides in. These 

five (5) qualifying assignments will come from assignments 

worked as an ASCA Provisional Breeder Judge or as an 

ASCA Approved Breeder Judge only. 

D. Judging assignments must be completed in regular classes 

as published in the ASCA Conformation Show Rules and 

Regulations. 

These are minimum requirements for applying and each applicant 

will be evaluated on an individual basis. Applicant may exceed 

these requirements for their benefit. 

PROCEDURE 

Steps in applying for Senior Breeder Judge: 

A. In letter format submit the following documentation to the 

ASCA Business Office: 1. A minimum of ten regular class 

judging assignments with a minimum of 15 entries that 

meet the previously stated requirements. These assignments 

may come from the interim period during which a judge is 

awaiting final approval from the ASCA Board of Directors. 

Once approval is given, all interim assignments will then 

count toward the level of judging being applied for.

Comment from Debbie: I vote no on this motion because I don’t 

feel the wording is clear enough. My suggestion was: Interim 

assignments officiated while awaiting final approval from the 

ASCA Board of Directors may be included. Which apparently 

was not received by the committee. Gotta love Yahoo! Lol! 

Junior Committee 

JR.16.12 Change to Junior Guidelines 



Motion by King: I make a motion to accept the junior committee’s 

revision of questions relating to the breed standard. 

Motion by Andrea; second by Bryn: This is for the Junior 

Guidelines, Q & A Portion on page 22 

Rationale: The acceptable answers were not updated when the 

ASCA Breed Standard was revised a few years ago. The answers 

previously listed as acceptable were no longer valid. An effective 

date is not needed for this motion as this is not a rule, it is just a 

tool within the rulebook for the judges. 


Name two severe faults? 

Acceptable answers: Prick ears, overly large ears, low set 

ears with no lift from the base, and non-typical coats such as 

excessively long, overabundant/profuse wiry or curly. 

Name two disqualifications? 

Acceptable answers: Undershot bite, overshot bite, wry mouth, 

other than recognized colors, white body splashes, Dudley nose, 

monorchidism, and cryptorchidism. 



Name two severe faults? 

Acceptable answers: Prick and Hound ears, even bite, non-typical 

coats, butterfly nose over 1 year of age. 

Name two disqualifications? 

Acceptable answers: Undershot & overshot bites, white body 

splashes, Dudley nose, monorchidism, and cryptorchidism.

JR.16.13 Junior Showmanship Judging Guidelines 



Motion by King: I make a motion to accept the junior committees 

renaming of the guidelines. 

Motion by Andrea; second by Bryn: Table of Contents and Page 

22, Junior Showmanship Guidelines 

Rationale: The header needs to better specify who those guidelines 

are for. In this case the information following it is for the judges, 

not the juniors. It will also better stand out to judges if listed this 

way in the Table of Contents. An effective date is not needed for 

this motion as it is not a rule, it is just a tool within the rulebook 

for the judges. 


Header: Junior Showmanship Judging Guidelines 


consistent with other exercises with similar requirements and to 

correct the underlining for exercise #102 that had some language 

bold and not underlined which was intended to be underlined. 

Purpose for motion: We have different primary parts of exercises 

indicated on numerous exercises that require similar behaviors. 

For the descriptions to be consistent among all signs, it is necessary 

to amend these exercises. As an example, some of the exercises 

that required the dog to stand and stay required the judge to award 

zero points for the exercise if the dog took one step forward after 

being told to stay while other exercises requiring the same stand 

and stay behavior allow for points to be deducted if the dog takes a 

step forward rather than not receiving and credit for the exercises. 

Expecting the judges and exhibitors to keep straight which stand 

and stay performance is required or allowed for all similar signs 

is unrealistic. Making these changes to exercises with similar 

behaviors will make things easier for the judges to keep up with 

and will make performance expectations more clear for both the 

judges and the exhibitors. 

Party(s) affected by the motion and how it will affect them: 

Judges will be affected in a positive way as the primary parts of 

the similar exercises will be the same making their job easier and 

more consistent. Exhibitors will be affected also and will now 

know what to expect when being judged on these exercise. 

Business Office notified: B.O. was notified on 09/30/16. The 

office has no problem with this motion.

SD.16.27 New Farm Trial Forms 

Approve: DeChant, Gibson, Silveira, Vest, Wesen 

Oppose: King, Roberts 





Comment from Roberts: This should have been two motions. And 

the title is a misnomer, in that the entry form is for SD Trials, not 

just Farm trials. 


Motion by Gibson: I move to accept the two new Farm Trial 

forms, as recommended by the Stockdog Committee. Please see 

the rationale and the committee’s full motion and vote below. 

Title: New Farm Trial Forms 

Effective Date: Approval by the Board 

Motion by Wayne Kirby; econd by Judy Deshazo: I make a motion

the new system at ASCA. 

The attached new forms that will be posted to the website were 

sent to Ray Fryar at the ASCA Business Office for review and 

approval. Ray’s response is below:

Tracking Committee 

TR.16.09 Change to 1.20.4 Versatility Competition & Draw 

for Test Entries 



Motion by Wesen: I move to accept this motion from the 

Tracking Committee. 

Motion Title: Motion to modify draw priorities for the Nationals 

and more. 

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 and 

even earlier in the Tracking Section of the ASCA website. 

Purpose for motion: 

Discussion of reasons for the modified language and expanded 

section: 


1. ASCA’s Tracking Regulations need to be updated to include 

references to ASCA’s Tracking Dog Urban (TDU) test. 

Wherever the Tracking Dog (TD) title is referenced, it should 

be listed as TD/TDU (or Tracking Dog/Tracking Dog Urban.) 

Since its adoption, TDU has been considered as an urban 

alternative to TD, the field tracking title, and the titles are 

used equivalently for several purposes: either TD or TDU 

certifications may be used for priority entry into TD or TDU 

tests. Either TD or TDU titles can be used as prerequisites 

for entry into Tracking Dog Excellent (TDX) tests. ASCA’s 

Master Tracker (MT) title requires 3 TD’s or 3 TDU’s or an 

equivalent combination of TD and TDU. 

2. The draw priorities for TD and TDX test entry need to 

be clarified for instances when ASCA Tracking Tests are 

offered in conjunction with shows that include Versatility 

competition. So far, ASCA Tracking Tests have been offered 

in conjunction with Versatility only at ASCA National 

Specialty Shows, but other opportunities might occur in the 

future, possibly with ASCA sanctioned European shows. 

3. Please note that TDX titled dogs may enter TD/TDU tests, 

because the ASCA MT title requires 2 TDX’s and 3 TD/ 

TDU’s. Tracking dogs may have earned one or more ASCA 

TDX titles before they have earned 3 TD/TDU titles. 

4. When ASCA Tracking Tests are offered in conjunction with 

ASCA National Specialty Shows, test entries are restricted 

to Australian Shepherds. ASCA Nationals is a special case 

of offering Tracking in conjunction with Versatility, so 

Specialty Show Tracking Test Chairs need a list of test entry 

priorities that specifically addresses draw priorities for the 

ASCA Nationals.

Non-voting: 0 

Motion by Anne Hershey; second by Maia Halverson: I move 

that the Australian Shepherd Club of America Tracking Rules and 

Regulations, Chapter 1, Section 1.20.4 Versatility Competition 

and the “Draw for Test Entries” be modified to include language 

that refers to ASCA’s Tracking Dog Urban Test and title, modified 

to list separate draw priorities for TD/TDU and TDX test entry, 

and expanded to specify more precisely the priorities for the Draw 

for Test Entry for ASCA Nationals Tracking Trials. In the June, 

2016, edition of the ASCA Tracking Regulations, Chapter 1, 

section 1.20.4 is written as follows: 

The paragraph now states: 

1.20.4 Versatility Competition and the “Draw for Test Entries” 

When a Versatility Competition is offered in conjunction with a 

Tracking Trial the “Draw for Test Entries” shall be given in the 

following order: 

a. To an untitled (in Tracking) ASCA registered Australian 

Shepherd with a Certification or an equivalent title, 

b. To a titled (in Tracking) ASCA registered Australian Shepherd 

who is entered in the Versatility Competition, 


c. To an untitled dog with an ASCA Office Tracking Number 

with a certification or an equivalent title, 

d. To a titled ASCA registered ASCA registered Australian 

Shepherd, 

e. To a titled dog with an ASCA Office Tracking Number, 

f. To a non-titled Australian Shepherd without a certification or 

an equivalent title, 

g. To a non-titled dog with an ASCA Office Tracking number 

without a certification or an equivalent title. 

When the advertised limit of entries has been drawn, all remaining 

entries, subject to the same preferences set forth in the preceding 

paragraph, shall be drawn for positions on the Alternate List. 

Priority for draw order for TD test: 

1. Aussies who are untitled in Tracking with a Certification or 

an equivalent title; 

2. Aussies entered in Most Versatile Aussie competition who 

are titled in Tracking; 

3. Aussies who are titled through TD2 but not entered in Most 

Versatile Aussie Competition; 

4. Aussies who are uncertified. 

Priority for draw order for TDX test: 

1. Aussies who are titled through TD or TDU, not previously 

titled in TDX; 

2. Aussies who have previously titled in TDX, who are entered 

in Most Versatile Aussie competition; 

3. Aussies who have previously titled through TDX1; 

4. Aussies with TDX2 or MT titles. 

These priorities for the “Draw for Test Entries “order shall be 

published in the Premium for the Tracking Trial when a Tracking 

Test is offered with a Versatility Competition. 

I move that the section be modified to read: 

1.20.4 Versatility Competition and the “Draw for Test Entries” 

When a Versatility Competition is offered in conjunction with a 

Tracking Trial the “Draw for Test Entries” shall be given in the 

following order: 

Priority draw order for TD/TDU: 

a. To an untitled (in Tracking) ASCA registered Australian 

Shepherd with a TD/TDU certification or an equivalent title, 

b. To a titled (in Tracking) ASCA registered Australian Shepherd 

who is entered in the Versatility Competition, 

c. To an untitled dog with an ASCA Office Tracking Number 

with a TD/TDU certification or an equivalent title, 

d. To a TD/TDU or TDX titled ASCA registered ASCA 

registered Australian Shepherd, 

e. To a TD/TDU or TDX titled dog with an ASCA Office 

Tracking Number, 

f. To a non-titled Australian Shepherd without a certification or 

an equivalent title, 

g. To a non-titled dog with an ASCA Office Tracking number 

without a certification or an equivalent title. 


Priority draw order for TDX: 

a. To an ASCA registered TD/TDU titled Australian Shepherd, 

not previously titled in TDX, 

b. To a TDX titled ASCA registered Australian Shepherd who is 

entered in the Versatility Competition, 

c. To a TD/TDU titled dog with an ASCA Office Tracking 

Number, not previously titled in TDX, 

d. To an ASCA registered Australian Shepherd, titled through 

TDX 1 but not entered in Versatility Competition, 

e. To a dog with an ASCA Office Tracking Number, titled 

through TDX 1 but not entered in Versatility Competition, 

f. To an Australian Shepherd, titled through TDX2 or MT but 

not entered in Versatility Competition, 

g. To a dog with an ASCA Office Tracking number, titled through 

TDX2 or MT but not entered in Versatility Competition. 

When the advertised limit of entries has been drawn, all remaining 

entries, subject to the same preferences set forth in the preceding 

paragraph, shall be drawn for positions on the Alternate List. 

When a Tracking Trial is held in conjunction with an ASCA 

National Specialty Show, the draw priorities for TD/TDU entry 

and TDX entry shall be listed as follows: 

Priority draw order for TD/TDU test: 

1. Aussies who are untitled in Tracking, with a Certification or 

an equivalent title; 

2. TD/TDU and TDX titled Aussies who are entered in Most 

Versatile Aussie competition; 

3. Aussies who are titled through TD/TDU 2 or TDX but are 

not entered in Most Versatile Aussie Competition; 



1. TD/TDU titled Aussies not previously titled in TDX, 

2. TDX titled Aussies who are entered in Most Versatile Aussie 

competition 

3. Aussies who have previously titled through TDX1 

4. Aussies with TDX2 or MT titles 

These priorities for the “Draw for Test Entries” shall be published 

in the Premium for the ASCA National Specialty Show Tracking 

Trial.

DeChant, 2nd Vice President Rachel Vest, Secretary Cindy King, 

Treasurer Jan Wesen, Director Linda Gray, Director Jean Roberts, 

Director Ken Silveira, Executive Secretary Kalla Jaco

There is a quorum with 8 voting members of the Board present. 

Gibson called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m. Central Time. 


ITEMS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION: 

There was one item discussed in Executive Session. A summary 

of the topic is included; no action was taken. 


In regards to another matter concerning European members, 

DeChant will follow-up with contacting members to assist in 

translating ASCA’s judge tests into foreign languages. 

NOVEMBER EMAIL VOTES 

BD.16.159 Ratify November BOD email votes 

Motion by Gibson: second by Gray to ratify the email votes for 

November. 

Approve: Unanimous; motion carries. 

NOVEMBER TREASURER’S REPORT 

Wesen gave the report. Income is looking better and expenses have 

gone down this year. Balance for the period ending November 30, 

2016, is $142,214.14. The Bookkeeper is setting up the budget in 

QuickBooks so we have more options and will be able to better 

use the document for financial decisions. 

BD.16.160 November Treasurer’s report 

Motion by Gibson; second by Vest to accept the Treasurer’s 

report as read. Approve: DeChant, Gibson, Gray, King, Roberts, 

Silveira, Vest; Disapprove: 0; Abstain: Wesen; Absent: 0; motion 

carries. 

SYSTEM UPGRADE 

Vest gave the report. The new system will be able to track 

information on dogs with no or pending registration, which can 

be accessed once they are registered. It does not look like there 

will be anything preventing full implementation of the system by 

the end of December, as planned. 

Vest will make a note to have the search function added back to 

the website. 

FILLING BOD VACANCY 

The Board received resumes from Preston Kissman, Mary Logue, 

Carol Gerken, Liz Gibson, and Luc Goossens to fill the vacancy 

on the BOD. 

BD.16.161 Preston Kissman to BOD Vacancy 

Motion by Silveira; second by Gibson to appoint Preston Kissman 

to fill the final year of the open Board of Directors position. 

Approve: DeChant, Gibson, Gray, King, Roberts, Silveira 

Disapprove: 0; Abstain: Vest, Wesen; Absent: 0; motion carries. 

AUTONOMY FOR FOREIGN NATION MEMBERS 

Silveira raised the issue of trying to give ASCA’s foreign members 

more autonomy in dealing with club topics. He feels there are a lot 

of issues particular to foreign members that we cannot understand 

or dictate here in the United States. He suggests a mirror BOD 

for Europe that could deal with their local issues, like this Board 

does in the U.S. 

DeChant sent out an email to all the non-U.S. Affiliate Presidents 

and Reps to request that they each elect someone to serve on 

the European Advisory Committee. There are also 2 “at large” 

positions for non-Affiliated foreign members. 

BD.16.162 EUROPEAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE 

LIAISON & CHAIR 

Motion by Gibson; second by Silveira to appoint Ann DeChant as 

Liaison to the European Advisory Committee and Luc Goossens 

as Chair to get this committee started. 

Approve: Unanimous; motion carries.

There is a motion on this topic currently on the floor for December 

email voting. ASCA needs to have some directional control over 

what is posted on our social media sites, and this policy puts into 

writing what has been practiced by the Webmaster for years. The 

Board discussed concerns about displaying conformation-faulted 

Aussies on our social media sites. 

WEBSITE FRONT PAGE 

The format of the new website does not allow for the same kind of 

utilization of the front page as we had with the old site. The Board 

discussed creating a page on the website that would detail ASCA’s 

positions on various topics, such as “mini Aussies” and judging 

tails on Aussies outside the U.S. 

The Board would like to keep the front page of the website 

welcoming and positive. Vest will submit a motion for the January 

voting cycle to allow for some changes. 

NATIONALS SITE SURVEY 

Gibson reported on the results of the survey. She will go through 

the individual responses in order to make a list of other possible 

sites to investigate. She will report back to the Board in January. 

The Board entered Executive Session at 6:57 p.m. 

JUDGE CONDUCT 

Roberts will have a recommendation for the January voting cycle. 

On a related topic, Junior Judges are approved with no resume 

and no test; they are only required to be 21 years old and a former 

Junior Handler. The Board would like to change this, and King 

will bring to the Junior Committee. 

The Board exited Executive Session at 7:14 p.m. 

DIRECTOR’S HANDBOOK 

This topic has been added to the January meeting agenda. Jaco 

requested that Directors go through the handbook and mark 

sections that need to be updated/changed before the meeting. 

AUSSIE TIMES COMMITTEE 

DeChant, Gibson, Gray, and King are on the committee. 

DOCK DIVING 

The Board would like to move forward with Dock Diving. A 

committee will be created and Heidi Mobley will be given the goahead 

to find members and investigate a path forward for ASCA.

BOD HOLIDAY BREAK 

The Board observes a holiday break from 

December 20, 2016 until January 2, 2017.

regarding their task to designate three goals 

for the committee for the upcoming year.

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.

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. 


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.

ASCA Committees 


All ASCA agility competitors are invited to join the ASCA Agility 

Enthusiasts 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 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.

Judy Boone, Committee Chair, daydreamaussies@msn.com 

Although this column is for the March/April issue of the Aussie 

Times, it is being written in January. It is the start of a new year 

and the committee will be tackling new projects and finishing up 

old ones. We hope to improve the ASCA agility experience for 

everyone! 

The committee has selected three major goals to finish this 

year. They are: 

• The education of our agility judges. We hope to have a system 

in place to help our judges make consistent calls. 

• Electronic submission of records. We will work with the 

Business Office and software vendors to insure clubs have the 

option of electronic submission, no matter which software 

program is used. 

• Transferring from the Championship program to the ACE 

program at the same level. Although this is currently not 

supported by the Business Office computer program, we will 

be working with the Office to see if this can become an option 

in the future under the new computer upgrade. 

We have several other topics for the year, including an All 

Breed merit list, paying course reviewers and advertising, and 

promoting ASCA agility. If you have a topic you would like us to 

discuss, feel free to contact any member of the committee. Our 

emails can be found on the Committee page on the website. 

We’d like to thank outgoing members Kathy Fretz and Robin 

McNeill for their service to the committee and to ASCA. 

As always, if you are interested in serving on the agility 

committee, please submit your resume to the Executive Secretary.

History Committee 

Sunday Miles, Committee Chair, countrywoods@voyager.net 

The History Committee has been working on our choices for 

the ASCA Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient for 2017. 

A couple of wonderful nominees were sent in to us along with a 

great idea, which was also gleaned from correspondence with a 

member. There will be more about that in the near future, I think, 

but it is too soon, as yet, for letting it out of the proverbial bag. 

As always we would love members with ideas or desires to 

work with us to either send along your idea or a nominee you think 

we should consider along or your resume. 

Thanks and have a wonderful 2017 

Juniors Committee 

Andrea Bair, Committee Chair, juncasjimpop@yahoo.com 

Happy New Year, everyone!!! First I would like to thank our 

previous chair Regi Bryant, liaison Ken Silviera, and member Sarah 

Roth for their years of service on this committee. I would also like 

to welcome new members Susan Harris and Mallori Bryan to the 

committee. We look forward to their ideas and input. 

Since Nationals, we have been working diligently on several 

things. Progress has been made with the agility committee to build 

a junior merit program and we hope to encourage more juniors to 

trial their dogs within that program. We are also working on a tiered 

system for the 500 Club in hopes of having it ready for the 2017- 

2018 point year. 

The committee also wrote a mission statement as requested 

by the board that we are extremely proud of: “To encourage, guide 

and support all junior competitors and promote junior participation 

in the ASCA programs.” If you are interested in being part of the 

team to work on any of these items and more please send a resume 

in to the ASCA Executive Secretary. 

Legislative Committee 

Susan Beals, Committee Chair, susan@cailleachaussies.com 

The new ASCA website is up and running and with it the pages 

for the Legislative Committee. These pages are still a work in 

progress, but there is some good information there. There is a page 

that gives you links to find your legislators – federal, state, and 

local – and contact information. We also have position statements, 


talking points, and links to research and other information to back 

them up for you to make use of when contacting your legislators. 

So far we have a page on docking, one on mandatory spay-neuter, 

and one on tethering – all topics that pop up frequently at the state 

and local levels. More will be coming. 

We are a very small committee and cannot possibly keep up 

with all the anti-animal legislation that is introduced at the state 

and local level across the country. If there is something happening 

in your area that you think needs to be addressed, please make us 

aware of it. 

Obedience Committee 

Laurie Rubin, Obedience Committee Chair, earthlaurie@sonic. 

net 

The Obedience Committee has been discussing three 

suggestions sent to us by competitors. First, we heard that there 

were many persons who would like the opportunity to enter Open 

CDX and Open ODX at the same trial. We gathered feedback and 

considered changing the rules to allow this. After consulting with 

the Business Office, the Committee chose to not send a motion to 

the Board. If ODX and CDX entries were allowed at the same trial, 

only one of these scores could be used with a Utility score for the 

purpose of UDX legs, Super Dog Finals standings, and Super Dog 

merit standings. Tracking this at the Business Office was described 

as a “nightmare” for the current computer program and was deemed 

to be too much responsibility to add to a Trial Secretary’s work. 

Second, we discussed creating a title distinction, similar to 

that in Rally, for earning three or more scores ≥195 in a class. The 

majority of the committee favors this idea. We are currently 

deciding what suffix should be added to the title. We thought he 

“X” used in Rally wouldn’t work for Obedience, since adding an 

X to the CD title would make this indistinguishable from the CDX 

title. Some options being considered are –X, +, *, HS (High Scores) 

and –OP, which is used in Agility for Outstanding Performance. 

Third, we recently received the suggestion to provide more 

flexibility for clubs allowing bitches in season (OBIS) to compete, 

starting in June 2017. We are discussing whether to allow OBIS to 

compete for legs and scores but to forgo placements and high score 

awards. Under this suggestion, if there were an OBIS entered in 

Utility, for example, the Utility class awards would still be given 

after the other dogs competed in Utility and the High in Trial and 

High Combined scores would still be awarded after the last Regular 

class. When the OBIS competed at the very end of the trial no one 

else would have to wait in order to get their own scores or ribbons. 

The ODX class continues to be a topic of discussion. As more 

dogs compete in the class, we find more scoring details that could 

be improved. Should it be an NQ for a dog to sit outside 3’ of the 

cone? It is currently only a deduction. If the dog moves straight 

toward the handler without veering toward the cone before sitting, 

should that dog qualify? There is currently no rule language for 

this. 

The Obedience Committee plans to enact a requirement for 

judges to view educational materials at least every three years. At 

first this would involve either attending an obedience seminar at 

Nationals or viewing seminar content on the ASCA website. The 

2014 Nationals Obedience Seminar is on the ASCA youtube site. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AageBQp9hQw&feature=yo 

utu.be. In the future, portions of the 2016 Nationals Obedience 

Seminar will be posted. (With luck, this will be on the ASCA 

YouTube site by the time you read this. If not, it will be because I 


have had trouble finding time to move forward on this with so many 

projects in my life, for the Obedience Committee, for my paid 

work, for my dogs, family, community…) Down the line (hopefully 

in this calendar year), we plan to have an online seminar. 

We always welcome your input on any aspect of the ASCA 

obedience program – this is your program. You may write to the 

Obedience rules Yahoo group, or contact Laurie Rubin, Obedience 

Committee Chair, directly at earthlaurie@sonic.net. 

Rally Committee 

Karen Black, Committee Chair, kblack@pdmsdesign.com 

The ASCA Rally program continues to grow and is well 

recognized as the best Rally program available. The committee is 

committed to making sure this young tradition of success and 

recognition continues. 

There are several items of importance to highlight as we get 

closer to the June 1, 2017 rulebook. Judges and exhibitors should 

take a look at the exercises and their descriptions to note as few 

differences from the previous book. The exercises themselves have 

not changed, but the primary parts of the exercises have been 

corrected so that exercises in the same family have the same parts 

bold and underlined. 

The committee is exploring the possibility of adding new signs 

to the program. We are particularly interested in non-stationary 

exercises of varying difficulty that can incorporated as level specific 

requirements. There are currently no Novice-only or Advancedonly 

moving exercises. We would also like to add some level 

specific moving exercises to Excellent and Masters as well. If you 

have any suggestions for possible moving exercises, please send 

an email to the committee or offer the suggestion to one of our 

committee members when you see that at a trial. Our goal is to add 

them in June 2018. 

The new rulebook will be out June 1 st , 2017 and in conjunction 

with the rulebook, an updated online Judges’ education seminar 

will be available. Currently the continuing education for Rally 

judges is required every three years. Tracking which judges have 

completed it happens mostly when a judge is hired for an assignment 

and the Business Office checks and it has been more than three 

years since they have completed a judges’ education and they have 

to rush to complete it before the trial can be sanctioned. This is 

inefficient, frustrating for the judges, and delays sanctioning of 

events for the affiliates. There currently is a motion before the 

Board that will move the Rally continuing education more in the 

direction of the agility and stock continuing education system both 

in the frequency and the way it is administered. The Rally judges’ 

education would move from every three years to every two years. 

Notices will be sent to judges in the first week of January in oddnumbered 

years and judges will have two months to complete the 

education. The live seminar at Nationals will still count for credit 

when participated in even-numbered years. 

There are currently 15 individuals who have applied to become 

ASCA Rally judges and are at various stages of the process. Some 

applied years ago and some applied very recently. There is concern 

about the applicants who take such a long time to complete the 

process; it crosses over rulebook years and open book test years, 

rule changes, and many more challenges as well. It is very difficult 

to keep up with which rulebook, which test, etc., each of the 

applicants is following. Therefore in order to keep the qualifying 


process moving, the Board is considering approving new guidelines 

from the committee for a timeline for completing the application 

process. Affiliates across the USA, Canada, and Europe are in need 

of Rally judges. There are very few judges in some areas. The new 

guidelines, if approved, will fill the needs more quickly to help out 

the affiliates. If you are interested in applying or know someone 

who is interested in applying to become a Rally judge, an 

application is available on the ASCA website or by contacting the 

Business Office. 

Other topics at various stages of discussion and motion on the 

committee are revising the post-trial course review program to help 

ensure the courses being used at trials meet ASCA Rally Rules and 

Regulation and clearly defining what it takes for a Masters level 

course and an Excellent level course to be significantly different. 

There is also a motion before the Board regarding the classification 

of judges to make it easy for National Host Clubs to identify which 

Rally judges are eligible and have expressed interest in judging 

either the National Rally Trial or Rally Finals. It is similar to the 

designation ladder used in Conformation. 

So as you can see, the Rally Committee has been very busy! 

If you are an affiliate who has not offered a Rally trial yet and 

have questions about how to get started or need ideas for hosting 

a rally trial on a shoestring budget, please feel free to contact the 

Rally Committee for suggestions. We are always happy to help 

Affiliates get started with Rally or help with any questions you 

have regarding Rally trials. 

At the time of this report, the Rally Committee is not full. If 

you love Rally as much as we do and you want to be an integral 

part of ensuring the ASCA Rally program remains the best Rally 

program available to exhibitors world-wide, please send your 

resume to executive.secretary@asca.org. New appointments will 

be made at the Spring Board Meeting. 

The Rally Committee is always interested in hearing how Rally 

is working for the exhibitors, affiliates, and judges and the whole 


ASCA community. If you have any comments, questions or 

suggestions, please let one of the committee members know or 

contact Karen Black at kblack@pdmsdesign.com. 

See you in a Rally ring soon! 

Tracking Committee 

Beth MacLehose, Committee Chair, bmaclehose@gmail.com 

The ASCA Tracking committee has been busy. First, we would 

like to welcome our new members: Joyce Charron (OH), Nita 

Gandara (AZ), and Leah Swatko (Canada). We also have a new 

committee chair: Maia Halvorsen. A huge thanks to Marja 

Teegelbeckers who has been our committee chair for several years. 

She stepped up as chair when it was vacated a few years ago. Her 

zeal for the sport is remarkable and inspiring. She has traveled to 

the USA twice to title her Aussies in ASCA Tracking – at National 

Specialty Tracking Tests in CO, and TX (or was it NV?) – and last 

year she put together the first European ASCA-sanctioned tracking 

test, against almost impossible odds. We are glad that you will be 

staying on the committee to continue to help shape the ASCA 

tracking program. 

The tracking committee is currently discussing allowing the 

Test Chairperson to show, bringing our tracking rules up to date 

and deleting references to the now-defunct show rules book, and 

updating a blank premium clubs can use for the tracking trials. We 

are also looking at ways to allow the business office to sanction 

trials without them going to the committee for review to help speed 

up the sanctioning process. In the spring we will begin work on a 

beginning tracking title. 

The committee would love input from members, and still has 

opening on the committee. To join the committee, send you resume 

to Executive.secretary@asca.org. 

To join the tracking list to learn more about ASCA tracking, 

ask questions, or keep up to date on what the committee is proposing 

go to ascatrackingenth-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

ASC OF ARIZONA 

Laura Young, Affiliate Representative, laurayoung@cox.net 

Hi, everyone! Another year ends and a good time was had by 

all. ASC of AZ held 24 Conformation shows in 2016, many judged 

by Senior Breeders. The club held 10 Obedience and 18 Rally trials, 

where AZ dogs continued to excel and many titles were earned. The 

club had 16 Working trials and 16 Agility trials, both very popular 

with the competitors. 

ASC of AZ contributed $85 per venue at Nationals for a total 

of $425, and continued to support local rescue with a $1,200 yearly 

donation. 

One educational event in 2016 was a Rally clinic held by 

Shawna Davis, which was well attended and got positive feedback 

from participants. A second educational event featured motivational 

obedience trainer Diane Wray. 

ASC of AZ would like to acknowledge the successes of our 

members. Vickie McNulty and her dogs had a fun and busy year. 

Her young dog ATCH Jubilee’s Set Fire to the Rain CN BN RTX 

(Carson) earned his first ATCH. ATCH-II RTCH SkyRyders Field 

of Dreams CDX RTX (Conor) earned Arizona’s first RTCH-II later 

on in the year. Both Conor and Carson made the Rally Finals with 

Conor finishing #5 and Carson #10. Carson made Agility Finals 

and finally Conor was awarded the #3 Rally Excellent Masters Dog 

in the Merit Listing. Jeri Wheaton also had a very successful year. 

SVCH VCH PCH WTCH A-CH PSR Sensational Echo CDX REX 

RMX REMX earned her Supreme Versatility Championship, her 

Performance Championship, her REX, RMX, and REMX titles in 

2016. PSR Won’t Back Down (Micah) placed #4 Merit Excellent, 

#7 Merit Masters, and earned both her RMX and REMX titles. PSR 

High Caliber RNX, (Parker) earned is RNX title. Terri Garvais and 

her dog Chase (SkyRyders Amazing Race) earned their ATCH-I 

this year as well. Way to go, Vickie and Jeri and Terri! 

As we say goodbye to 2016, we look forward to seeing many 

of you at all our venues in 2017. Please check our website for 

upcoming events. Have a great year! 

ASC OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 

Lorraine Cirinelli, agilityusa@aol.com, for Erica Potter 

2016 was a busy year for the Australian Shepherd Club of 

Southern California. We had our Annual Spring Spectacular of 

Agility, Obedience and Rally. Our club sanctioned ASCA Agility 

trials for our local Agility Club, and in prep for Nationals in Oregon 

hosted another day of obedience in September. 

Our own Paul Kirk will celebrate his 90th Birthday this May. 

He and Jack Mathieson and the FAST Agility scoring program have 

made our score-keeping lives easier every Agility Trail for many 

years. They have now developed a Stockdog scoring Program that 

I hear helped immensely in Oregon, so much so that the ASCA 

BOD has chosen to honor Paul. Congratulations, Dr. Kirk! We are 

all so glad you are on the mend. 

Seems Curt Urtz and Dylan remain our over-achievers. Dylan 

and Curt topped off their year earning the OTCH title, which 

means they have earned every available ASCA Championship. 

She should now be known as SVCH, VCH, SPCH, PCH, OTCH, 

ATCH, WTCH, RTCH, CH Testimony’s Tangled Up in Red, UD, 

RTX, DNA-VP. Congratulations, Curt and Dylan. 

We had a nice group of competitors who traveled to Oregon 

for ASCA Nationals. Sandy Maher and Peete (LakeView Cowboy’s 

Red RePeete) were the winners of the Agility Finals Overall 

Standard Division. Sue Graham and Spree were fourth in the 

Overall Veterans Division Agility Finals. Lots of other Q’s and 

placements for Spree, including being part of the first-place all- 

Stockdog Agility Team. Her young dog Stryker did well, with a first 

Place in Novice Gamblers. Melinda Starkweather, Lynne Watson, 

and their four dogs made the drive up for Agility; they each had 

some nice runs and brought home buckets of rosettes. 

Sandy Maher was also delighted to have her older dog with 

her and able to compete. Reg had been very ill for several months 

with a severe case of IBD and a stomach infection, Reg proved to 

be tough enough to work his way back to win ACE Senior Dog 

HIT at all three pretrials. 

Laurie Burnam and Debbie Lang made the trip together and 

were rewarded with lots of agility Q’s for Scusi, Quila, and Panda. 

Laurie and Scusi (Starn Ewe Meant to Intervene) were Third in 

Open Obedience Finals, and were members of the first-place 

Obedience team, Team Wizard of Auz. Debbie’s Quila (Langs 

Quila) Earned her Rally Excellent title. Her Panda (Vaquero’s 

Midnight Pandmonium) earned her Rally RNX with three straight 

scores of, 195, 195, and 197 – the 197 was at Nationals. Panda 

was also entered in Alt. Conformation and was given a first place 

in Am. Bred. Laurie’s Miss Scusi has now gone on to earn her UD 

title. 

Jodi Downs and her Monster son Baron were entered in all 

the Stock pretrials, all the Agility pretrials, and Nationals Stock, 

Agility, and MVA (where he ended up 12 th of 90). Baron earned 

many Agility Q’s and placements. The highlight for Jodi was him 

winning the High Combined Non WTCH Buckle at a Stock pretrial 

and then topping the week off buy doing the same at the ASCA 

Nationals Stockdog Trial. He also ended up in the number four 

position Merit List for Advanced Sheep. 

We are planning a 2017 schedule which will include adding 

conformation back into our mix, and hope for more involvement 

from all. 

ASC OF UTAH 

Katelyn Scott Peart, Affiliate Representative, 

springfeveraussies@me.com 

The Australian Shepherd Club of Utah had a memorable 2016! 

We have so many longstanding, committed members and many 

new members that all share the same love of Australian Shepherd 

and the passion for competing with the breed! 

Our Juniors are what bring us together as a club. These 

children’s dedication and willingness to learn and grow is 

infectious. Everyone looks forward to participating in our weekly 

handling clinics during the summer for this reason. 


This year our amazing Juniors accomplished so much during 

the year and at the ASCA National! Bailey Crader had a wonderful 

year. At the National Specialty she won 1st Place 8-12 Open Junior 

at the PASA pre-show, and topped off her week winning Best Junior 

Handler National Finals. Bailey also finished the 2015-2016 year 

as 1st Place 8-12 Junior Handler, won Region 2, and achieved 500 

Club for the second time. Bailey also piloted ASCA/AKC Ch. 

Stone Ridge Angels N Outlaws to her AKC Championship. Megan 

McKervey qualified and placed 2nd in the Junior Showmanship 

Finals from 13-17 Open class with Xander. Congratulations to you 

both!

ASCU members had a wonderful time at both National 

Specialties and throughout the year! 

Stone Ridge achievements: 

At the 2016 USASA National Specialty, Tae, Stone Ridge Girl 

in a Country Song, was awarded Best in Futurity. Kaycei, Stone 

Ridge Tough All Over, was awarded Best Opposite Sex in Futurity. 

Liam, ASCA/AKC Ch. Stone Ridge Inverness Sensational, won 

the Open Red Merle dog class and made the final 5 considered 

for Winners Dog. Redmond, ASCA/AKC Ch. Inverness Stone 

Ridge Red Shift, was awarded Winners Dog over a beautiful

awarded Reserve Winners Bitch and Best BBX at the National. 

Kaycei was awarded Reserve Winners Dog at the National. Cort,

the BASC Pre-Show. Redmond won Premier Dog and made the

#1 Conformation Dog, won 3rd in the Intact Conformation Finals, 

and solidified her retirement from ASCA by winning Best of Breed 

at the National Specialty, all by the tender age of three. This year

and Zandra Nilsen, won an Altered Premier at the BASC Pre- 



Show and the National Specialty. Bernie, U-CD RO1 Stone Ridge

Altered Conformation, 2nd in 2016 Utility Finals, 2nd in yearend 

standings in Utility, 6th in Merit standings (currently 2nd in 

Superdog standings), and he earned his OTCH. And is the sweetest, 

kindest dog in the world to live with! Sad there isn’t an award for 

that. 

Cherrie Cannon showed Gerard, ASCA/AKC GCh. Aussbern 

Premier Ticket of Myshara, to the #3 Conformation Dog Overall 

for the 2015-2016 year. He is owned by Sharon Fontanini and

ASC wants to extend an extra large thank-you to everyone 

who supported us this year; it was a big one! 

Since we were not going to have our usual June (all Senior 

Breeder Judge) show, we moved our raffle to our April show to help 

raise funds for our Nationals Pre-Show and had a great turn-out. 

Then we dedicated our full focus to Albany. 

The Nationals host club (Willamette ASC) and the other Pre- 

Show host club (PASA) were both wonderful to work with as we 

coordinated the millenia of details. It was even more exciting (and 

exhausting) once we got to Albany with the whirlwind of processing 

check-ins and day-before entries for a total of around 500 dogs. 

Our little club from SW Idaho was really put to the test, and with 

the help of MANY (hugs to all of you!) those last 36 hours flew 

by with no major issues. Then everyone pitched in yet again to 

break down the pre-show rings and decorations so the Nationals 

crew could do their setup and get everyone out of the building 

before getting locked out (or in!) for the night. What an incredible 

experience! 

We look forward to seeing everyone for more fun in 2017. 

Keep an eye on our webpage at www.boiseasc.org for news and 

event flyers – change is in the air – see you in and around the ring! 

CENTRAL VALLEY ASC 

Charla Patterson, Affiliate Representative, bowandarrows10@ 

yahoo.com 

Greetings from the Central Valley ASC in the San Joaquin 

Valley of California. We have had a very busy year. Several new 

members have joined our club this past year. We welcome them! 

We hosted 17 conformation shows, 4 stockdog trials, 2 rally 

trials, 2 obedience trials a CGC test, a grooming seminar and 2 

weekends of agility. WHEW! It makes me tired just looking back 

at that schedule!!! Our goal, as an ASCA club, is to be a versatile 

organization. We have members who do multiple events and we try 

to accommodate them and the entire Aussie fancy. Another goal is 

to hire out of state judges so that we get “new” eyes to evaluate our 

dogs in all venues. Our May show has 5 conformation shows…4 of 

which have out-of-state judges. The stockdog trials also followed 

this practice. We hope that exhibitors recognize this practice and 

appreciate the expense that is required to do so. Our club has always 

been generous to Nationals with donations for Finals and other 

classes. We had several members who attended the Nationals in 

Oregon and were all excited to share their experiences with those 

left behind. It is always so wonderful to make new friends and 

renew great friendships. It’s so special to spend a week with our 

Aussie families that we may only see once a year. Central Valley 

was awarded the 2019 National Specialty to be held in Bakersfield, 

CA. The dates are November 2-9, 2019. We are very excited about 


this. This will be our fourth time to host this fabulous show. Plan 

to come to California. 

CVASC member hope that you all have a very happy, healthy 

and prosperous New Year. Love your Aussies and Aussie families 

every day. You never know what tomorrow brings. 

COAST ASC 

Jean Roberts, Vice President, jeanroberts.asca@gmail.com 

Happy New Year! 2016 saw COAST hold two weekends of 

stock trials. Our Spring Classic, held in March, had two days of 

arena trials along with a day of Cattle Farm trials. The Fall Classic, 

held in November, saw two days of arena trials. 

We thank Trish Alexander for generously hosting these trials 

at Ranahan Ranch, in King City, CA. We thank our Judges, Dana 

MacKenzie, Maxine Schvaneveldt, Sharon Simmons, and Brad 

Warren. Thanks also go to our Course Director, Trish Alexander, 

and Trial Secretary, Judi Myers. We couldn’t put these events on 

without a slew of volunteers from stock handling, timing, hospitality 

and arena building. It takes a village and we are very thankful for 

ours! 

When our events are successful, we are then able to donate 

half of our profits to causes that we support. We were able to send 

financial support for vet care, to a family who lost everything in a 

house fire Christmas week. Additionally, COAST donated $1000 

to Aussie Rescue So. Cal, a 501(c)3, that helps dogs in our area. 

2017 will see us hosting more stock trials and making more 

donations. Check out our Facebook page for upcoming events. 

We hope that 2017 brings you many opportunities to enjoy 

your dogs! 

NORTHERN NEVADA ASC 

Cynthia Kennedy, Affiliate Representative, TrikPony@aol.com 

First, we’d like to give a standing ovation to everyone who 

entered, and everyone who helped with our “Contact High” Agility 

Pre-Trial at the ASCA Nationals. We felt very lucky to be able to 

have one of the slots for a pre-trial, but we knew it was going to 

be one giant effort for our club. Carrie Dempsey, Portia Jelinek, 

Cynthia & Patrick Kennedy, Melissa Lamoureaux, and Rod and 

Denise Langston were our core crew, along with a lot of help from 

Scott and Tracy Lovelis. But, we could have never survived without 

the help of the wonderful people who stepped up and helped us the 

day of the trial – THANK YOU! We have to thank our incredible 

judges, too: Lora Del Page, Sandra Katzen, and Pamela Bryant- 

Meeks. We hope handlers are enjoying their “Contact High” mug, 

and all the goodies in our check-in bag. Donors were so generous 

to us. We also had a lot of fun putting together that snazzy, mint 

green beach cruiser bicycle for the ASCA raffle. It was hard to park 

it at the raffle table, we loved it so much. 

Now, if you haven’t entered our Fourth Annual Sierra Shadows 

Farm and Stockdog Trials, March 31-April 2, you must put www. 

nnasc.com in your browser and get on over there for a premium! 

Sierra Shadows is held at the Try Color Ranch, in Gardnerville, 

Nevada, and we always have excellent stock, courses, and awards. 

The cattle will be furnished by Lisa Edward’s Bitterbrush Ranch, 

and the barb cross sheep and geese live right there at Try Color 

Ranch. The judges this year are Joan Carrillo and Bob Myrick. 

There will be two Farm Trials (one mixed, one sheep), and four 

Stockdog Trials (cattle, sheep and geese). For more info, contact 

Carrie Dempsey at qacarrie@charter.net, or 775-720-4025. 


Last year’s Sierra Shadows’ winners of our gorgeous HIT 

buckles were Lisa Edwards and her Border Collie, “Rye” in the 

Farm Trial, and in the Stockdog Trials, High Combined Advanced 

Aussie: Greg McClintock & “Tuffy,” High Combined Other Breed: 

Lisa Edwards & BC “Rye,” High Combined Open Aussie: Salvatore 

Manna & “Yogi,” Most Promising Started Aussie: Christi Claypool 

& “Lexi,” and Most Promising Other Breed: Lisa Edwards & BC 

“Bliss.” 

May 5-7, we’ll be back with our High Sierra Summer Classic 

Agility Trial. Pamela Bryant- Meeks has agreed to come west and 

judge for us. This trial is always a winner as the weather at Fuji 

Park is gorgeous, and there are so many fun things to do in Carson 

City and nearby Lake Tahoe. This past year we added fencing to 

our equipment list, so our Regular/Gamblers, and Jumpers rings are 

fully enclosed now. The premium is on our website, www.nnasc. 

com and we look forward to seeing you! 

We are still working on what we’ll do for our annual High 

Sierra Autumn Classic dates. This past year we had thought we’d 

hold rally/obedience trials in October, but changed our minds to 

agility. Susan Perry graciously accepted our request to judge. We 

were lucky she’s from northern Washington, otherwise all the rain 

would have washed anyone else away! Susan was such a trooper 

and never complained! We also had an Iron Woman as Chief Course 

Builder, our president, Denise Terry. Our club worked very hard 

and the out-of-town handlers were unceasing with their help. Can 

you believe, this unseasonable weather was the only inclement 

weekend in the entire month! 

Please go to our website, or come join us on facebook, at 

Northern Nevada Australian Shepherd Club to keep posted on our 

activities and events; and when we decide soon what we’re going 

to do this next October we’ll post it immediately. 

2016 was a wonderful year for our Greatest Little ASCA Club, 

and we want to thank everyone who helped us with our events. We 

always appreciate that none of this would be possible without our 

wonderful Australian Shepherds and our parent club. 

OCEAN VIEW ASC 

Kathy Usher, Affiliate Representative, auzyluvr@gmail.com 

Hello, fellow Aussie enthusiasts. Another year has gone by in 

a blink of an eye and we are into the 2017 show year. Ocean View 

ASC successfully hosted 20 sanctioned Conformation shows in 

2016. We welcomed several new members into the club last year, 

Susi Rowley, Colleen Jeffers, Dior de Moraes, Kelly Sweeney, and 

Aaron Dalke. 

In January, Ocean View rang in the New Year hosting four 

conformation shows. The weather was perfect all weekend and 

we had a very nice turnout dogs for Intact and Altered classes. 

Several dogs also completed their ASCA championships over the 

weekend. TCASWA hosted a day of Obedience and a day of Rally 

in conjunction with our conformation shows. New Obedience and 

Rally titles were completed by a few dogs over the weekend and 

a great time had by all. 

It was a beautiful, warm spring weekend for our March Spring 

fling shows. We had a wonderful turn out of exhibitors. The Junior 

Handlers were awesome as always. What a great group of kids. A 

special “thank you” to AKC judge Janice McClary for filling in on 

such short notice for our Saturday morning conformation show. 


The June Picnic in the Park event was a huge success. 

We tried a new location at Buena Park High School this year. 

It was awesome on the football field. The weather was typical 

June gloom, a little drizzle on Saturday. Overall it kept it nice 

and cool for the weekend. We joined forces with two other clubs 

to have Conformation, Obedience, Rally and Agility. We had 5- 

point majors in the Intact divisions for all but one show. Rally and 

Obedience trials were hosted by Tri County Australian Shepherd 

Working Association (TCASWA). The Agility trial was hosted 

by Dan Roy of Performance Dog Training. Thank you again 

TCASWA and Performance Dog Training for combining efforts 

with us to make another weekend of spectacular events. Thank 

you so much. We appreciate these two clubs combining efforts 

with us. 

Our annual Aloha Social, Hawaiian-themed show, is always 

held in August. Great dogs and great friends always make for a 

perfect weekend. The weather was beautiful and we had a great 

turnout of exhibitors, with majors all four days in the Intact 

classes. This year we provided lunch for all the exhibitors, both 

days, instead of trophies. It was a huge hit with everyone! Thank 

you, Gabi Kiertzner and Sherry Fox, for organizing this amazing 

buffet. A special thanks to Richard Pittman for judging last minute 

when one of our judges had a family emergency. 

November ended our show season with our Fall Spectacular 

shows. As usual we had spectacular fall weather and a 

wonderful out of exhibitors. We had several dogs complete their 

championships and move up to the Best of Breed class. Many 

thanks go out to all the exhibitors and judges who have supported 

our events the past year. 

Quite a few of our members attended the 2016 ASCA National 

Specialty held in Albany, Oregon. Ocean View ASC was proud to 

sponsor the award for Reserve Best Junior Handler in the ASCA

TRI-COUNTY AS WORKING ASSOCIATION 

Ann McCabe, Affiliate Representative, ann.mccabe.555@gmail. 

com 

Greetings from Southern California! The Tri-County 

Australian Shepherd Working Association (TCASWA) had 

another great year filled with trials, trials and more trials! 

We started the year on January 3rd with a one-day, two-trial 

All Herding Breed Farm Stockdog trial at the Pasture in Riverside. 

Our own Mike Tremblay was the judge. 

Obedience and Rally were next on January 16th and 17th 

at beautiful Pike’s Peak Park in Norco. Our trials were held 

in conjunction with Ocean View Australian Shepherd Club’s 

Conformation show. We had a full show and were happy to 

welcome Rose O’Hara from Texas as our judge. 

Our annual Valentine’s agility trial was held at Diamond Dogs 

K9 Events in Chino with judge Richard Pittman. Fun courses, fun 

judge and great weather. 

On May 7th and 8th, we hosted our Two Fur Stockdog Trials 

at Task Farms in Leona Valley. With three great judges, Brad 

Warren, Ken Silviera, and Marie Nagano, we offered all three 

stock runs twice each day. 

On May 22nd, we held a one-day Agility trial, judged by 

our own Sue Graham. Sue organized the trial as a fundraising 

event for the ASCA Agility course reviewers who volunteer to 

work long hours reviewing every agility course for every trial 

throughout the country so all of us can compete on fair and fun 

courses. Sue donated her judging fees and the club donated half of 

the proceeds to these hard working people. 

We joined Ocean View ASC again and held Obedience and 

Rally trials in conjunction with conformation on June 11th and 


12th at Buena Park High School. The grounds were amazing and 

with Shirley Indelicato judging, we, once again, had a full trial. 

We finished the year with an Agility trial in Chino with Sandra 

Katzen judging. We were privileged to have Deanna Hartsough 

come and give us lots of good exercises and stretches to keep our 

canine athletes in top form. 

Many of our members travelled to Oregon for the ASCA 

National Speciality in September. We had handlers and dogs 

qualify for Agility, Stockdog, and Conformation Finals. TCASWA 

sponsored Finals Reserve Champion Sheep and High Combined 

Rally at the 2016 ASCA National Specialty in Oregon. 

We are excited for the coming show year. Many shows are 

already in the works. Obedience and Rally on January 14th and 

15th in Norco, Agility on February 11th and 12th in Chino, Stock 

in May, and more Obedience and Rally in June. Visit our website 

www.tricountyaussies.com to get the latest information on trials 

and events throughout the year. 

WASATCH WORKING ASC 

Ann Smyth, Affiliate Representative, aesmyth910@aol.com 

Greetings from Salt Lake City, Utah. Wasatch Working 

Australian Shepherd Club is doing very well. This past year our 

small club hosted 3 agility trials, 3 rally trials, and 10 obedience 

shows, and a pre-Nationals Obedience Show. Our educational 

events included Rent-A-Ring practices after each obedience show 

and we hosted what we call Vet Talk. We invite veterinarians to 

come to our club night and talk about our canine’s health. This year 

we invited Dr. Debbie Hadlock to talk about canine heart health. 

Each year we hold a competition for the most Agility Q’s. The 

rules include participating in all three Agility Trials. It is a great 

way to encourage participation in our Agility Trials and excellence 

on the course. In October, folding camp chairs are awarded to the 

top Aussie Team and one to the Top Other Breed Team. This year’s 

winners of the chairs were Linda Hahn and Ziva for the Aussie 

Team and Christa Beauchat and Annie for the Other Breed Team. 

Congratulations to both teams. 

This year we hosted a Pre-Nationals Obedience Show. Penny 

Jameson and Betsy Coleman were in charge of the planning and 

executing of the show. Christa Beauchat collected the entries and 

got them ready in Salt Lake before the show. Many thanks go to 

our judges, Kristi Rasmussen and Arthur Bell, for giving us their 

time and expertise. Thank you to those who participated. A good 

time was had by all. 

Our two most successful club members at Nationals were 

Penny and Betsy. Penny had a successful show getting a 2nd place 

in Utility Finals and a Premier in Altered Nationals with her dog 

OTCH A-CH Stone Ridge’s Canboulay Bliss UD, better known 

as C. Betsy and Aspin were HIT and HC in our Pre-Nationals 

Obedience show. They also took 1st place in Superdog. Her other 

dog, Sasha, took 3rd Place in Open. Congratulations to both of 

them. 

We would like to thank Linda and Phil Hahn for the use of 

their facility, the Hahn Homestead. We all use the “barn” to train in 

cold weather and the agility field in good weather. They fortunately 

have some sheep to practice herding, too. They put in a lot of time 

and work to make this facility available to us. Thank you. Also, 

we should mention that our event coordinators do a lot to make 

things happen. Linda is Agility; Sharon Opfermann, Rally; and 

Penny Jameson, Obedience. Thank you for all you do. Penny has 


een the Obedience Coordinator for several years and has decided 

to turn over the reins to Betsy Coleman. We would like to extend 

a special thank-you, Penny. Her contributions to Obedience and 

our club have been tremendous. We look forward to competing 

with you in the future. Last but not least we want to thank our club 

members who train, work, and participate in our events to make 

this club successful. Many thanks go to everyone. 

WEST COAST ASC 

Jeanne Mastick, Affiliate Representative, jeannem@melissas.com 

2016 has come and gone and again we stayed true to our 

mission statement. 

WCASA members are dedicated to hosting events that are of 

interest to Aussie owners and dog lovers who are committed to 

enjoying life with their dogs. Our approach to our events is that 

we are a “non-profit” club. Our events include Conformation, 

Obedience, Rally, Stock Dog, and Agility – something for every 

dog! We strive to have events that will stand out in all participants’ 

minds. 

This year the club held Agility, Conformation, and Rally trials 

in April and August. We donated generously to Aussie Rescue of 

Southern California to help Aussies in need. 

We were all busy competiting with our beloved dogs in our 

favorite programs and at venues across the country, including the 

Nationals in Oregon. 

Looking forward to 2017…check us out on our website at 

www.wcasa.net for upcoming trials and information.

dedication that we have been able to host so many events. 

Two of our club members made the Novice Obedience Merit

CD, and Lois Campbell and Peacemakers Joy Ride CD RA. Six

Q&A 

Do These Genes Fit? 

Isn’t it true that if you are trying to 

determine how much risk a has for 

something and there is information 

missing, the risks are skewed toward a 

more positive outlook? There’s no way you 

can possibly get all the health info for a 

pedigree, so what’s the point? 

It’s true no one will ever have 100- 

percent knowledge – not just of this, but of 

anything as complex as genetics. However, 

the more breeders know about where risks 

lie, the better they can avoid risky matings. 

This is why it is imperative that people be 

open about genetic issues. But even if 

breeders are totally compliant in reporting, 

there will still be unknowns because not 

every puppy out of every litter will be of 

known status. Some die before they would 

have developed a disease, some puppybuyers 

may never tell the breeder that 

something went wrong, and some dogs you 

simply lose track of because people move 

or relinquish the dog and don’t tell you. 

Certainly the best thing is for everybody 

to open up. Mark information submitted to 

OFA “open” and send health info and test 

results to ASHGI’s IDASH Open Health 

Database. In Europe reporting and open 

publication of a number of health-screening 

results is common, if not required. The 

French even have a voluntary open epilepsy 

registry. I doubt we will ever see mandatory 

reporting of anything in the U.S., but the 

responsible thing to do is share this 

information – especially on things that 

typically aren’t included in registries. 

We can reduce the incidence of 

diseases considerably if we provide 

everything we can to health databases and 

freely exchange health information with 

peers the same way we share information 

on working or show traits. This should be 

expected rather than exceptional behavior. 

But just because this is not currently the

case it doesn’t mean we should declare it 

hopeless. Giving up or sticking to the don’tshare 

status quo makes you part of the 

problem, not part of the solution. Every 

responsible breeder must do the best he or 

she can with the information at hand and 

be open even if others are not. 

Even though all data aren’t available, 

there is a lot we can do to skew the odds in 

our dogs’ favor. At the moment making 

health screening a priority and studying 

pedigrees for health risk with such 

information as is available is the best 

course. Meanwhile, push for openness and 

encourage others to participate in open 

health registries and breed health research 

and use all available tools to evaluate health 

risk in your dogs and potential matings. 

I had a dog OFAed and the vet found 

something wrong in a part of the knees. 

They had a “multipartite sesamoid bone” 

– 2 little round bones behind the stifle that 

are normally one. The vet said this can be 

a normal variant but it makes me nervous. 

Is this heritable? 

I think the key here is the vet saying it 

can be a “normal variant.” In other words, 

it’s something that happens sometimes that 

generally doesn’t have any impact on 

function. I did a little reading on this and 

in most cases it does not cause the dog any 

problem though occasionally one might see 

lameness. 

Rottweilers seem to have it fairly 

frequently so there may be a genetic 

tendency there, but in other breeds – 

including collie-type breeds like the Aussie 

– it is sporadic, which indicates it is 

unlikely to be inherited. If something is 

inherited you will see a familial pattern of 

occurrence. 

I’m looking at an Aussie puppy but the 

male parent is a carrier for CEA. What is 

the chance his offspring will have this 

disease? Will it only be an issue for the 

pups with light-colored eyes? 

CEA (Collie Eye Anomaly) has 

nothing to do with eye color; it causes 

certain defects in the back of the eye. The 

disease is genetically recessive, which 

means a puppy has to inherit two copies of 

the mutation to have the disease. If one of 

the puppy’s parents is a carrier and the other 

tested clear then the puppy might also be a 

carrier but it cannot have two copies and 

therefore cannot have CEA itself. 

If the other parent is not tested then 

one can’t say for sure whether the puppy 

will or will not have two copies and you 

may want to have it DNA tested for your 

own peace of mind. Even in the worst case 

scenario where the puppy is affected, it will 

probably have functional vision, though 

you wouldn’t want to use such a dog for 

breeding. Carriers should be bred to cleartested 

mates to be sure no offspring will be 

affected. In rare cases the disease can be 

blinding. 

If the puppy’s eyes were examined by 

a veterinary ophthalmologist prior to seven 

weeks of age and found to be normal that 

is another indication that the puppy is 

healthy and cannot have more than one 

copy. (After seven weeks CEA can be 

difficult to diagnose with an eye exam.) All 

Aussie puppies, including pet puppies, 

should have an eye exam before they go to 

their new homes. 


You’ve said inbreeding can impact 

reproduction. Doesn’t that mean that if 

you did a brother/sister cross where both 

are healthy, vigorous, and proven breeders 

the litter wouldn’t be smaller, but the 

fertility rate of the puppies might be 

impacted? 

Not necessarily. Certainly the 

soundness of the reproductive systems and 

the libidos of the parents play a role, 

however, you can lose pups if both sire and 

dam give them bad copies of genes that are 

vital to proper development. Example: 

Numerous studies in numerous species 

have shown that higher levels of inbreeding 

are associated with lower rates of 

reproduction (litter size, in the case of 

dogs), dysfunctional breeding behaviors 

including lack of libido, and higher rates of 

inherited diseases and defects. Cumulatively 

this is referred to as “inbreeding depression.” 

I’ve heard different people say different 

things about thyroid testing, not only what 

test to do but what the results mean. One 

person who had a thyroid bitch that 

couldn’t get pregnant said all he had to do 

was put her on thyroid meds. Is thyroid 

testing for breeding dogs really important? 

And if it is, what tests should I do and how 

do I know what the results mean? 

The thyroid gland is a sort of “master 

control” that governs the body’s metabolism. 

If it is malfunctioning things can go wrong 

in almost any body system. Thyroid disease 

is an important health issue. In dogs, 

autoimmune hypothyroidism is extremely 

common. The immune system attacks the 

thyroid gland and gradually destroys it. 

This is the most common autoimmune 

disease in Aussies. Infertility can be one of 

many things that can go wrong in a dog 

with thyroid disease. 

Autoimmune diseases, including 

thyroiditis, are inherited. This is why it is 

important to screen breeding dogs. But it 

is also important to do the right tests. 

Screening only for levels of T3 and/or T4 

is totally inadequate, as is testing only once 

in a dog’s life. A testing panel similar to 

that required by OFA should be administered 

at two, three, four, and six years of age. If 

results indicate levels of T3, T4, or 

thyroglobulin autoantibodies above 

reference range (T3 AA >10, T4 AA >20, 

TGAA >35), the dog is affected. If the dog 

clears all tests until six years of age it is not 

affected. If autoantibodies are present in 

excess of the reference range the disease is 


Q&A 

clearly autoimmune. Testing several times 

and no later than six years is important; the 

disease doesn’t always start at the same 

time but eventually destroys the thyroid 

gland and after six years of age the gland 

may be gone and antibodies will no longer 

be present so testing is pointless. 

If a bitch is unable to conceive unless 

she is put on thyroid medication, she should 

not be bred at all. 

My breeder told me that I should never 

give my dog heartworm medications with 

Ivermectin in them but I’m confused 

about what would be safe. Can you 

recommend something? 

Your breeder probably made this 

recommendation either because your dog 

was tested and found to have a mutation in 

a gene called MDR1 or the parents of your 

dog did. The MDR mutation causes the dog 

to be sensitive to a long list of drugs of 

which Ivermectin is only one. These 

reactions can be serious or even fatal. 

Fortunately, there are alternative 

medications that can be used but your vet 

needs to know your dog’s status so your 

dog won’t be given any of those drugs. 

As to what heartworm med to give, 

that is best discussed with your vet. 

However, I have corresponded with the 

researchers at Washington State University, 

where the MDR1 mutation was discovered. 

I was told that the dose of Ivermectin in 

heartworm meds is too low to cause a 

reaction even in dogs with two copies of 

the mutation. (These dogs are more 

sensitive than those with only one.) But if 

it still makes you uncomfortable to use an 

Ivermectin product, your vet can suggest 

an alternative. 

For more information on MDR1, you 

might want to read: www.vetmed.wsu.edu/ 

depts-VCPL/. This is the website put up by 

the researchers who found the mutation. 

The MDR1 mutation is common in 

Aussies, so your breeder was being 

responsible in advising you to avoid 

Ivermectin-based products. However, there 

are also other drugs to which dogs can react. 

A list is available on the site above. Ask the 

breeder if she MDR1-tested your dog. If 

so, ask for a copy of the results so you can 

have it for your files and provide one to 

your vet to include in your dog’s records. 

If your dog has not been tested and its 

parents are not both tested clear then you 

should get the test done on your dog. 

Should your dog have the mutation you 

might want to get a medic-alert type collar 

tag to advise any vet who might treat the 

dog in your absence that it is a carrier. This 

organization offers these tags and also has 

a list of the drugs to which dogs might react: 

www.busteralert.org. 

I saw a TV science show that talked about 

how environment influences the way 

genes operate. There are a lot of things in 

dogs, like cataracts or DM, where even if 

you have the genes the dog may not get 

the disease. Doesn’t that contradict what 

you say about these things and others 

being inherited if it’s just a matter of 

sometimes they happen? 

I don’t think it contradicts what I’ve 

said. The variability in a dog’s phenotype 

(what you see or can measure) is caused by 

both genetic and environmental factors. 

The phenotype variation we see in HSF4- 

related cataracts, for instance, has variable 

penetrance (when and how quickly cataracts 

develop isn’t always the same) as well as 

variable penetrance – some dogs with the 

mutation get cataracts, some don’t. DM 

also has variable penetrance. In some 

breeds, like Pembroke Corgis or, German 

Shepherd Dogs, it is very common. In 

Aussies it is rare, but every dog that has 

DM has two copies of that particular 

mutation though not every dog with two 

will become ill. Aussies have some 

protective factor, likely inherited, that 

protects them but isn’t there to help the 

Corgis or GSDs. 

Where dog breeders sometimes run 

aground is interpreting variable penetrance 

and expressivity to mean that when 

something goes wrong it must have been 

because of the other parent or environment 

rather than their own dog. This is a 

dangerous misinterpretation of what is 

actually happening. The reasons for these 

variations are only just now beginning to 

be understood. 

If the familial pattern generally adheres 

to a single-gene dominant type of 

inheritance, it is called dominant with 

incomplete or variable penetrance, 

depending on the specifics of what is 

observed. Environment or regulatory DNA 

may tweak the process in an individual dog, 

but anything sitting on the chromosomes 

– whether genes or regulatory sequences 

– are inherited and should be treated as such 

by breeders.

What’s the difference between COI and 

what you do when you do pedigree 

analysis? 

A coefficient of inbreeding (COI) is 

the probability that any given gene will be 

identical by descent. In other words, it’s 

how likely a particular individual is to have 

two identical copies of a gene coming down 

each side of the pedigree from the same 

ancestor. The more ancestors common to 

both sides of a pedigree (and the deeper in 

the pedigree you look for those ancestors) 

the higher the COI is likely to be. 

COI is a helpful tool for breeders. (To 

learn how, read this: www.ashgi.org/homepage/genetics-info/breeding/breedingstrategies/playing-coi.) 

However, it isn’t a 

practical way to figure probabilities for 

specific traits, including inherited diseases 

and defects which in most cases involve 

multiple genes plus regulatory DNA. The 

best way to do it is BLUP (Best Linear 

Unbiased Prediction) Analysis. It’s used 

most often by those dealing with market 

traits in livestock and poultry but has been 

applied to some horse breeds. There are a 

few BLUP-based programs developed for 

dogs but they are limited because it isn’t 

easy – or cheap – to do. It requires a lot of 

data. It also takes money because there isn’t 

any software available that is usable outside 

a research setting. (ASHGI looked into it 

when setting up its pedigree analysis 

program and found that it would have been 

necessary to run everything on a university 

computer and pay a graduate student to do 

all the work.) BLUP can be done for any 

trait. Whether the trait is “good” or “bad” 

will not change the result. High percentages 

are good for good things and bad for the 

unwanted ones. 

ASHGI does have the necessary data 

but can’t afford a BLUP-based system. 

Instead it uses a modified percentage of 

ancestry calculation to produce trait scores 

that indicate level of risk for producing 

offspring with various inherited diseases 

and defects. Whether a dog actually will or 

won’t depends not only on whether it has 

the genes but what genes the mate has. Two 

high-risk dogs are more likely to produce 

something than two low-risk dogs.

ARPH Update 

Aussie Rescue & Placement Helpline 

Robin Lee • flyrobinfly@blarg.net 

ARPH’s Adoption Process 

[This is a rerun from the July/August 2012 Times but is as relevant 

now as it was five years ago.] 

Recently I saw an article talking about how some shelters 

and rescue organizations make potential adopters 

jump through hoops in order to qualify for one of their 

animals, and if someone wasn’t home all day or there 

wasn’t a fenced yard they were instantly dismissed. ARPH, like 

most rescues, screens potential 

adopters and we have rules and 

procedures in place to help us 

meet our primary goal of finding 

the right home for each Aussie 

in our program. The idea is not 

to launch CIA-evel inspections 

of would-be dog owners or go 

on a power trip of awarding or 

withholding an Aussie from 

someone, but to ensure that every 

placement we make is the last for that particular dog because it was 

a carefully matched home with the right family. 

We sometimes get people who don’t understand why they can’t 

just come over and have their pick of our dogs, and occasionally 

some become angry at what they feel is an invasion of their privacy. 

However, the process we have exists to protect our dogs and also 

to help make a positive experience for the humans involved. It 

doesn’t do ARPH or the breed any good to place an Aussie in an 

environment that doesn’t work for it. Many dogs end up in rescue 

precisely because of a poor fit with a previous household. We want 

to avoid repeating that mistake. 

This article looks at how applicants are approved for adoption 

and explains why we use certain parts of the process. I will describe 

how I go about dealing with an application and offer some insight 

into what goes through my head during the course of working on 

a case. Please be aware that not all rescue representatives share my 

exact thoughts or handle prospective adopters the same way; your 

mileage may vary depending on your region and your rep. 

The first step is for interested parties to fill out an ARPH 

adoption application, which is forwarded to the nearest rep. The 

application contains basic information such as name and address 

. . . We have rules and procedures 

in place to help us meet our primary 

goal of finding the right home for 

each Aussie in our program. 

and whether the home is owned or rented, and asks other pertinent 

questions such as whether there are current dogs or cats in the home, 

and if all family members are in agreement to adopt an Aussie. That 

latter may seem like a strange thing to ask, but there have been 

cases where one person is set on getting a dog when everyone else 

in the household is not really on board. Needless to say, that is not 

an ideal situation. We also note whether there are children in the 

home, and their ages, and other factors that might determine the type 

of dog that would work well in 

that home. I try not to make any 

snap judgments, I don’t discount 

applicants because they are 

elderly, or live in a city condo, 

or follow a particular trainer, or 

just want a pet. However, when 

I get an application that states 

they’ve had six dogs in the past 

few years and they all died young 

and/or were killed by cars and/or 

given away, that tends to make me leery. 

One of the first calls I make if the applicant is a renter is to the 

landlord. Sometimes people aren’t actually allowed to have pets 

(I guess they didn’t think we’d actually call) or there is a size and 

weight restriction that prohibits them from having an Aussie. I’ve 

had some interesting incidents involving renters. One landlady 

became very upset and gave me an earful about how the applicant 

had been failing to make her rent and shouldn’t be getting another 

dog. Another applicant told her landlady she “had” to take an Aussie 

from a friend who was moving, would give away her current dog 

and asked me to pretend I was the fictional friend when I called. 

I informed her that ARPH would not participate in any deception 

of landlords. If she couldn’t be truthful about this, what else was 

she not telling us? 

Personal and vet references are also listed on the application, 

and we call them also. The purpose is to see if the applicants have 

a history of responsible dog ownership. With the vets, we ask 

if the applicant has been a regular customer and if the patients 

the clinic’s seen match the animals listed on the application. We 

understand that some people use limited vaccinations or titer their 

dogs rather than do yearly shots, but it’s definitely a red flag if

someone doesn’t have a vet at all. Even if someone 

administers their own shots, things like rabies are 

required by law and usually have to be given by a 

vet. It gives me pause when I read something like 

“our dogs were all healthy so we didn’t need a vet”, 

especially when they all died before they were ten 

of unknown causes. We’ve had some interesting vet 

calls too, such as the clinic taking the applicant to 

small claims court for nonpayment. 

With the personal references, we ask if they 

have been to the applicants’ home and to describe 

the dogs, children, etc. It can be quite enlightening 

to speak to an objective party, because as with 

the other calls, sometimes they volunteer extra 

information. I’ve had people tell me they didn’t 

believe the applicants could give enough exercise 

to a high energy breed like an Aussie because their 

current dog didn’t get enough stimulation. These 

comments aren’t necessarily showstoppers, but they 

can be useful. 

Early on I learned there is a high attrition rate 

among applicants. Some people impulsively apply 

when they see a photo of an attractive dog, some 

apply but then say they are going out of town or 

having surgery and really can’t adopt for X more 

weeks then fall off the face of the planet, some 

never had any real intention of adopting ; we have 

to act upon every application, making contact 

within 72 hours of receipt, whether or not the 

applicant is viable. ARPH reps are volunteers and 

we all have our own dogs, families and day jobs 

to attend to, so I send out an introductory email to 

each applicant thanking them for their interest in 

a rescued Australian Shepherd and describing the

process. I also include links to information about Aussies for those 

that aren’t familiar with our breed, and I ask that they let me know 

if they want to go ahead with their application. What I really want 

to know is if they are serious about following through with our 

organization. I find that this letter cuts down significantly on what 

I call “lookie loos” (or tire kickers). Some of these people apply to 

every rescue they come across, then after taking up each group’s 

time and resources, run out and get a dog elsewhere and sometimes 

don’t even bother letting anyone know. It’s very frustrating and 

disheartening when that happens, because I feel like I wasted my 

energy that could be spent on another adopter or a dog in need. 

I next make a phone call to prospective adopters who say they 

still want to adopt through ARPH. It’s not an interview per se, but 

to get to know the people and find out what they’re looking for. 

One of the objectives of ARPH is to educate the public about the 

Australian Shepherd, so sometimes I find myself explaining the 

breed to someone who thinks they’re getting a Golden Retriever 

in a different suit. Even if someone has had or has an Aussie, I ask 

them about their dog’s personality and characteristics. A couple 

times I’ve gotten someone who has an unusually mellow, couch 

potato member of the breed and think all Aussies are like that. I 

find out what folks plan to do with their new dog, and try to assess 

what sort of dog might or might not fit them. I’m up front about 

things like finding hair in the butter dish and that they will never

go to the bathroom alone again with an Aussie in the house. It’s not 

a sin if someone decides they aren’t really cut out to be an Aussie 

owner, I’d rather they be informed and educated and make the right 

decision about the dog they choose to bring in. 

We do a home visit if we mutually agree that a rescue Aussie 

is a good fit. Some people think this is invasive, and while I’m not 

a fan of strangers coming into my home either, we’re not trying to 

stalk the people or peer in their underwear drawers and medicine 

cabinets. There are some things that aren’t apparent on paper or 

over the telephone. I’ve had applicants who say they plan to hike 

and run with the dog but when I arrive I discover the humans are 

all grossly overweight and their animals look like footstools with 

fur; unfortunately people sometimes want an Aussie for the lifestyle 

they wish they had, not the one they actually have. Applicants 

have told us they have a six foot wood fence, but during the visit 

we find that there is a huge gap on the bottom where a dog could 

escape, or a two foot high gate that an Aussie could easily jump 

over. There may be neighbor dogs trying to start fence fights, or 

kids poking fingers and sticks through the fence. The landscaping 

might be immaculate and the people may wish it to stay that way. 

Inside the home we take note of areas where baby gates or crates 

might be used if necessary, and we meet the family, including any 

resident pets. Oftentimes we get folks who have a dog and want a 

second, but the first dog might actually not enjoy having another 


companion. I usually bring my own ARPH Aussie along and I can 

learn a lot by watching how other animals and people interact with 

him. Sometimes people refuse to believe how energetic an Aussie 

is until they actually see one in action. Home visits are valuable for 

both us and the adopters. Sometimes they are just a confirmation of 

what we already thought, other times they are the deciding factor 

in whether someone is approved for adoption or not. 

Once approved, we start searching for a match for that adopter. 

Being approved is not a guarantee that the adopter will wind up 

with an ARPH dog, since we do placements by best fit and there 

may or may not be a suitable candidate available for their situation. 

For example, we have people who specifically want a puppy of a 

particular sex, or an Aussie that can be a therapy dog or agility 

competitor or is able to accompany the owner on horseback on long 

trail rides. We can never predict what will come into rescue at any 

given time, so I’ve had folks find the perfect dog right after being 

approved and others who’ve waited months until a dog meeting 

their needs turned up. 

For some people, the process is too much. They want to just fill 

out a couple papers and bring home a dog with no questions asked. 

Rescue doesn’t work that way, because we have invested so much 

into our dogs that we can’t just hand them over to anybody. Aussies 

should be in homes where they are wanted and valued, and while 

our mission is to place the dogs in our care in permanent homes, 

they have to be the right homes. Our process helps us do that.

Finals Judges Speak Up 

Well, we are well into the New Year now, and by 

the time you read this we will be closing in on the 

final few months of the trialing season for the 2016 

Finals. With the wild winter weather we have been 

having this year; it’s likely been a fairly quiet time for many around 

the country, training-/trialing-wise. It’s not always a bad thing to let 

our dogs have a mental rest! If your dog is a chore dog, you don’t 

have to watch them as closely on HOW they do their chores with 

no trials looming on the horizon! That gives them a mental break. 

This issue, I have responses from some of the Finals Judges 

to the questions that were sent out. I always hope for 100-percent 

participation but am not always lucky enough to get that. Many 

thanks to the judges that did reply! It is greatly appreciated. We 

also have our Mystery Pups as well as our Mystery Trainers who 

have given some great answers to the question that was sent in. I 

thank the people who submit their questions and want to remind 

folks to please continue to send me your questions for our Mystery 

Trainers. Don’t miss out on this valuable tool!! Our Trainers are 

giving generously of their time and knowledge. 

I hope the judges questions and answers help shed some light 

on how and why they judge the way they do! I also hope it allows 

you to get to know them a little bit better! Some of that insight can 

be carried on to regular trialing, it’s not just for Finals! I also find 

that our Mystery Pups offer valuable insights into training ideas and 

the issues they may be having with their dogs at any given time. 

Their solutions and ideas can help us if we keep an open mind. 

The same is obviously true about the Mystery Trainers answers to 

the submitted questions. We may not be having the problem with 

our dog right now, but might in the future! There are nuggets of 

knowledge in everyone’s writing and I thank them!! 

Keep on striving for the top!!

Judges questions from Maxine Schvaneveldt: 

1. Have you been a Finals judge before? 

Yes. 

2. What do you think makes a good Finals handler and a good 

Finals dog? 

Teamwork between the dog and handler 

3. What did you think about the course selection this year and 

the order in which they were run? Do you think it helped 

separate out which dog/s should be on top? 

N/A 

4. Do you think a central location for Finals would allow us to 

have more consistent stock available? 

Yes, I really do. The stock contractors could count on every year 

and the stock would be much more consistent. 

5. When is a grip on sheep allowed, if ever? Do you think it 

was needed on this year’s sheep? 

When a sheep turns and challenges a dog and tries to head-butt 

the dog, I would hope to see a dog grip the nose and then let go. 

The arena was too narrow for the type of sheep and the sheep 

I’m sure felt threatened, so they flight or fight and some chose 

to fight. There were situations where the sheep did need a grip 

on the nose. 

6. At what point do you feel a handler is losing more points 

than they may gain by continuing to try making a panel or 

pen after a failed attempt? 

It depends on the type of livestock. If the livestock is very easy 

to work, then it may be best for the handler to keep trying for 

the obstacle. If the stock requires a dog to work really hard on 

getting them to the obstacles and the sheep are really leaning 

on a dog, then I would hope to see the handler not stop the flow 

and move on; this is usually the case with cattle, once you get 

your flow going, keep going. 


7. What are the best size arenas to showcase our dogs in your 

opinion? 

I personally hate a 100 x 200. They are way too small, especially 

for the newer courses. There is no room for the dogs to be where 

they need to be. 

8. What do you do when a dog is out of contact with the stock 

or even looking at the handler? How do you handle either 

situation? 

Points off. 

9. The stock appeared difficult this year in all three venues to 

maneuver through the obstacles to maximize course points. 

What were the key areas that minimized the loss of Control 

Points, despite the stock in your opinion? 

The ducks were fine. We had one group that appears either 

broody or not legged up as well as the other group. The cattle 

were in my opinion, too young and not an even group. The sheep 

needed a larger arena and they were fine. So, as a judge, you 

have to adjust for the workability of the livestock. Most of the 

dogs I saw did not have rates. Handler would tell them to steady 

and there was no change in gait, they did not seem to know 

where the flight zone was. The cattle were just hard due to the 

age and calves don’t have a leader. The first day was tough to 

judge. 

Judges Questions from Jan Wesen: 

1. Have you been a finals judge before? 

Yes. 

2. What do you think makes a good finals handler and a good 

finals dog? 

Teamwork between dog and handler. 

HOF WTCH-X Sweetgrass Painted Blue Skye PATDx OFTDs DNA-CP, Oregon Finals, 2016. Sliding S Photos. 





I liked having the new course at the beginning. 



Yes. I would like to see more consistent cattle for Finals. 



Sheep this year were like what we use to trial. This was very 

new for many handlers. Getting these type of sheep on the fight 

isn’t the best solution. Bite may have been needed in some 

situations. 




That is each situation. If handler and dog make a good attempt 

and could get further on the course they may have been better 

off to move on. 


opinion? 

It shouldn’t matter. Australian Shepherds can work in tight or 

out in the open. The variety of size should help showcase the 

breed. 



situation? 

I read these situations by what the livestock are doing. If the 

stock is still moving and working then I don’t take a deduction. 

9 . The stock appeared difficult this year in all fhree venues to 

maneuver through the obstacles to maximize course 

points. What were the key areas that minimized the loss of 

Control Points, despite the stock in your opinion? 

Keeping the flow going. Trust your dog. 

Judges Questions from Bob Myrick: 


Never judged Finals before. 


Finals dog? 

Good handler would be experienced and able to control 

emotions. Good dog would be well-trained and have good 

instinct. Everyday work makes a good dog, but not so much a 

good Finals competitor. 




I am not a fan of the new courses for identifying the best dogs. 

The new courses definitely indicate the best trained dogs. 

Condition of stock is very much a make or break factor on the 

new courses. 



I would like a central location where stock is more available. 

Hopefully better-conditioned stock would be available. 

Consistent workable stock would make our Finals more 

enjoyable for all. 




When a sheep faces a dog, challenges and will not move after 

a slow walk-up, I appreciate a nose grip. If a sheep charges a 

dog, I certainly want to see the dog defend himself. I never want 

to see or will allow a body bite, and never have seen a need for 

a heel on a sheep. There were a few instances this year a nose 

bite was necessary. 




I cannot award a high control score if 0 stock make a panel, 

however, if the stock is under control and barely misses and 

you know you can’t calmly and slowly bring them back and 

put them through, it is certainly better to move on than to show 

me they can’t do it. Missing half your points on one section is 

far better than exciting the stock and dog (and handler) which 

may hurt the remainder of the run. If the dog is not in control 

and the stock runs through the panel, the control score will also 

reflect that. 


opinion? 

I think the Aussie is best in smaller areas, however great in larger 

areas, too, so I think the size arena is not nearly as important as 

condition of stock. 



situation? 

When the dog is out of contact or looking at the handler, control 

points are not earned. 

9. The stock appeared difficult this year in all three venues 

to maneuver through the obstacles to maximize course 



There is very little a dog or handler can do to attain good control 

points on stock that is not conditioned. Any stock must be dogbroke, 

and that cannot and should not be expected in a trial run 

and especially in a Finals run! About a third of the cattle were 

barely weaned. I am disappointed that our program is not more 

interested in showcasing the strengths of the working Aussie 

that a rancher would be wanting. The only advice I could give 

to maximize control points is to be certain not to spend too long 

on any obstacle. Be sure you spend a reasonable attempt, and 

know for sure you get the repen gate closed prior to full time 

expiring. Especially on the new courses, know the point value 

for each obstacle. If it is a 10-point obstacle it may be wise not 

to work as long on it, etc. 

Judges Questions from Joan Carrillo: 


I have been an ASCA Stock Dog Judge since 1974 and have 

judged many Finals. 


Finals dog? 

Teamwork makes a good Finals handler/ dog. Both should be 

experienced in every conceivable situation, being prepared to 

have multiple fixes for “things gone wrong” is a must. It is also 



very important to fully understand the rules for the course being 

worked, i.e., which obstacles are worth more points, when is it 

time to “move on” to gain as many points as possible, etc. 




I approve of the courses used. Dogs that qualify for the Finals 

should be confident in any arena and with any course. I see 

little merit in making all things at the Finals easy. However, 

and this was my main issue of concern, it is often the quality of 

the livestock that makes even Course A impossible. It is very 

difficult, as a judge, to fairly evaluate a dog working stock of 

poor quality. I realize that the number of head required for 

Finals is great. But shouldn’t the availability of good/strong 

livestock be part of the selection of a venue? 



There certainly would be advantages to a centrally located Finals. 

Stock contractors would be able to prepare in advance for our 

needs. But, I have to admit that part of the hype of the Finals is 

the venue. Change is good. Better selection of locations based 

on the agricultural nature of the area, should be of more concern. 



Grip on sheep is a fine line between ripping a face or leg off and 

a nip to show authority. I will allow a nip on the face to get a 

stompy ewe under control. Was it needed at this year’s Finals? 

I saw and allowed a face grip, so obviously other judges, at 

different times, saw a need for something more. I judged the first 

sheep go round and personally didn’t see an issue. As I recall 

with the Final go-round, the size of the arena and dogs lack of 

control were more of an issue. 




A handler starts to lose control points as progress slows. As I 

have previously said, a good handler knows how the points for 

control are weighted for each obstacle. At what time points 

begin to be deducted depends on many factors. There is no 

“one” answer for each obstacle. It is always best for the handler 

to make an honest attempt and depending on the workability of 

stock and the control of the dog, make a decision at that time. I 

have a favorite saying that often applies to these situations – “be 

grateful not greedy.” 


opinion? 

An experienced stock dog judge recognizes a “quality” dog 

regardless of the arena size. As we all know the standard 100’ 

X 200’ is, at times, more than some started dogs and beginning 

handlers can manage. With that said, I personally feel that 100’ 

X 200’ is a good place to start for Courses A and B. As the 

number of obstacles increases so should the size of the arena. 

Courses C, D, E, and F in a 100” X 200” arena puts obstacles 

practically on top of one another. 



situation? 

I deduct control points. And here again, the degree of infractions 

will determine the amount of points deducted.

9. The stock appeared difficult this year in all three venues 

to maneuver through the obstacles to maximize course 



There actually were several issues that stood out to me. For 

one, a dog and handler with patience and control did better than 

those who tried to force stock thru obstacles quickly. “Setting up” 

for obstacles, long before actually getting there was also more 

successful. You will always have an advantage if you can read 

livestock and anticipate their movements. Many commands 

are actually given too late because of lack of experience The 

handler and dog work together as a team, and sometimes you 

can give your dog an edge by knowing how stock thinks. 

Mystery Pup Whip 

***** 

Whip and I have been working on driving. He’s getting the 

hang of it – mostly crossing behind me while the sheep are out in 

front. When he does get out ahead of me he often over flanks and 

takes the sheep off course. I’m trying to correct that over flank just 

as it happens. More and more he gets it.We still struggle with 

outruns and lifts. He starts and then seems to chicken out and so I 

move closer. I’m not asking for a lot, 50’. Odd because he can do 

a nice take pen and then cover the sheep and fetch them back at 

that distance. I play fetching games, stop him, flank him, change 

my position and so on so he patterns and gets use to me being in 

different positions. It’s like he’s over thinking the outrun and isn’t 

sure. If we can’t figure the outrun out I’ll find a clinic this spring. 

Mystery Pup and Toto Too 

I confess to have not dedicated much time to training sessions 

with Toto lately. In the summer, training was limited to an all too 

short period in the morning before it got too hot. In the winter, the 

short day length is what limits training time. I feed the stock in the 

morning, then go and take care of inside business, planning to come

out later and train. But when I look up at the clock, it is time for 

the dusk feeding. Sigh. 

Despite this, Toto does get to work stock most days, as I use 

her to help me feed my goats. Though it is the same old routine, it 

does change as the goat inhabitants get regrouped and the pens 

reconfigured as the needs of my goat operation change as we 

progress through the breeding/rearing cycle. Toto has done a good 

job with less than dog-broke kids. 

Toto has a rather laid back attitude when working the goats. 

So much so that sometimes I was inclined to think of her as weak. 

But then I thought of how she can move my largest doe, Teck. This 

doe radiates a lot of attitude at dogs, many of which have not had 

the confidence to stand up to her. Some alleged stockdogs won’t 

even go near her. While Teck does not salute Toto, as she does the 

dogs of impressive power and authority, she does follow Toto’s 

orders after a trivial show of defiance. Also, Toto has demonstrated 

that she is able to move hungry goats off of feed, a task that 

definitely takes considerable power to accomplish. Perhaps, my 

mind was hung up on images of her when she was still immature 

and not as strong as she is now. At 16-months-old, she has power 

and channels it through a very calm, clear mind. 

In my first installment, I wrote of how I had wanted to put a 

solid stop-out-of-motion and a solid stay on her before I start her, 

but then went and started her without them. I still have not put these 

on her, despite seeing how having them could be a big aid in dealing 

with some of the issues we have. As I write this, I am realizing that 

these are things I can work on in the house during the dark hours 

and during bad weather. I think that as soon as I am done typing 

these last words, I will go have an indoor stop-out-of-motion & 

stay training session with her. 

Mystery Pup Esau 


started doing the course at the beginning and end of each session. 

A couple days before the trial, course work was all we did. Our 

results at this trial were much better on sheep and cattle and we 

were competitive and earned several Finals points in sheep, cattle 

and ducks. 

I’ve had our sheep for over a year now, and realized after the 

last trial that although they are good for training the basics, they 

weren’t the best for course work. They’d just become too heavy 

for the most part and familiar with my dog. So I bought some new 

ewes that hadn’t seen anything other than a Chihuahua, so their 

owner said. They have really been beneficial in slowing Esau down 

and making him think a step or two ahead of himself. I only use 

them a couple weeks before a trial to do course work. I still use 

the older sheep for exercises. Our results on sheep at the next two 

trials were better, and we improved on the course where we had 

failed miserably at an earlier trial. That was gratifying and justified 

purchasing those ewes, in my mind anyway! 

Now that winter is here, the weather isn’t a problem for my 

dog, but it is for me, somewhat. We still try to work when we can, 

and focus on areas that need work. We’re doing okay point-wise, 

and I am satisfied with where we are being novices at this. It’s 

been quite the learning experience, and I’m glad that whatever the 

outcome, Esau and I are in this and learning together. 

Mystery Pup Topper 

Topper and I have been working on driving. I have done 

some on line work and I have also tried driving him from the golf 

cart. When he veers off to go around I drive to that side and that 

straightens him out. I also started to sharpen up his down. He stops 

and looks at me to see if I really mean it or not. LOL. Funny dogs. 

Summer comes and we begin searching for trials that are within 

a reasonable driving distance for late summer and fall. Training 

has been hit-or-miss due to work obligations or heat. Regardless 

of how driven my dog is, it’s difficult to get him out of the house 

before 7 pm after lounging in the air conditioning all day. For the 

most part it’s just been chores with an occasional session on 

specifics we need to work on. We entered a trial for late summer 

and a couple weeks before the trial we began working with a little 

more focus. It’s on a course we hadn’t run before; I didn’t see this 

as a problem at all and just kept practicing on A course. Big mistake! 

On sheep we looked like the novices that we are and our inability 

to handle the sheep well was a shock to both of us! We recovered 

somewhat the next day on a course we had some experience with, 

but as a whole, our results for the weekend were disappointing. 

That trial was an eye-opening experience for me. I realized 

we just couldn’t show up and expect to get Finals points. We were 

going to have to work for it regardless of the weather and I was 

going to have to make a little more time for us to be competitive. 

So I came up with a plan for training. Even though I have cows 

and ducks, I decided I’d do our training with sheep. We do the 

course one time at the beginning of each session. Then I work on 

specific exercises to correct our faults. Going back to the basics, 

so to speak. Usually the last 10-20 minutes or so. And fortunately, 

he doesn’t mind doing them. Then we end the day by doing chores. 

We entered our next trial, and a couple weeks or so before it, we 

Mystery Pup Biggie 

Biggie just needs experience in trials. We are trialing this 

weekend. So that should give me an idea of exactly what he needs 

to work on. 

I used him in a chute the other day and it was really cool. I 

had eight sheep in there but the front one was facing the wrong 

direction. The chute was only as wide as one sheep and so the others 

could not get by her no matter how much he bit the rear ones. I 

thought about asking him to come over the top but his head was 

down really low so I put my hand down near the ground and near 

the front sheep and I asked him to come under them. NO hesitation 

whatsoever. He came right up underneath them all and bit the head 

of the ewe that had to back up and we backed her out of the chute 

and the others followed. It’s so much fun when you have a dog that 

understands livestock. 

Mystery Pup Talent 

Talent has been working the sheep more and more and I am 

getting some nice work out of him. His flanks are incredibly square 

in both directions and his interest level is up. His nose problem is 

not fixed but I found another vet this week that put him on four 

meds including two nose drops. If you have never tried to put nose 


drops in a puppy then you are missing an experience. This vet has 

also done a culture which has not been done before even after going 

to the big vet hospital. He has had a CT scan, rhinoscopy, nasal 

flush, and biopsy and we still are not sure what is going on. This 

has been going on since Aug. 11, 2016. He is just a baby and it is 

probably interfering with his ability to learn and move freely. I 

have been to 2 regular vets, 1 major vet hospital and 2 holistic vets. 

Mystery Pup Nessa: The Devil on My Shoulder 

It’s called self-doubt. It happens when you raise the bar. It 

whispers in your ear, makes you forget how far you’ve come, makes 

you believe you won’t get where you want to be, that you don’t 

have the talent to make your dog shine like you know she can. 

That’s what I ran smack into while trying to tackle a problem I’ve 

been having with Nessa. 

In my world, “there” is supposed to mean turn in on the stock 

and take them. Nessa has a “there”’ but it’s this sort of soft, round, 

mushy thing that happens several steps after I give the command. 

It’s my own fault. It’s one of those things I didn’t spend enough 

time on. I saw a quasi-result and moved on. I accepted “almost” 

instead of insisting she be more precise. 

Even knowing I created the problem, frustration ensued when 

I started trying to fine-tune her driving and realized that wouldn’t 

come until her “there” issue was solved. I began to feel as though 

I’ve been beating my head against a wall, that we’ve been working 

on this problem forever. In truth, we likely have been working on 

this on and off for a long time. I’ve no one to blame but myself. 

In the midst of all that frustration, however, came the feeling I’m 

not a good enough trainer to get beyond this problem. Now, I could 

throw in the towel, keep accepting “almost”, and probably finish 

her WTCH come spring. I could give into that devil perched on 

my shoulder telling me I’m not good enough. It’s a hard battle, 

that’s for sure. Taking a deep breath, shoving the self-doubt in a 

deep hole, backing up to some foundation work and staying there 

until I see consistent results, is going to be tough. 

Good thing I’m a wee bit stubborn. 

It’s deep, cold January as I write this. I’m not going to have 

many opportunities to train until the weather allows, but I’m going 

to take each one. I’m going to remind myself how far we’ve come 

over the past year, pull up my Big Girl Panties, stop making excuses, 

and flick that devil off my shoulder. 

Mystery Pup Dude: Tiggers Bounce 

If you’ve ever read or watched Winnie the Pooh you know 

about Tigger, the tiger with the spring in his tail. He bounced. A 

lot. Puppies bounce, too. Sometimes it’s cute. Sometimes, not so 

much. Particularly when said puppy is a year old and uses the Tigger 

bounce in an attempt to move stock. 

I don’t often get the chance to do much training during the 

winter, so when the opportunity arrived for Dude and I to put in 

several days of lessons, I jumped at it. Dude’s initial approach to 

the sheep was a playful series of puppy bounces, and I cringed. 

Some might consider that no big deal, but now that he’s a year old, 

and showing the mental fortitude to take a bit more intense training, 

we decided to work on changing that attitude. We needed to take 



the bounce away and show Dude he could use other methods to 

move the stock. We needed him to be a bit more thoughtful and 

serious in his approach to the stock. 

Thankfully for both me and Dude, our trainer has the patience 

of a saint. She forced me to work through the transition from playful 

pup, to thoughtful youngster. It was sooooooo hard. (Probably on 

both of us, but I secretly think I had a harder time than Dude.) I 

stuck with it, though, and by the end of that first session, Dude 

started to get it. By the end of the third day, there were only a few 

times when the puppy bounce made a reappearance. Overall, he 

showed a lot of progress. 

I have to admit, that gave me great hope. To be honest, I was 

having moments where I began to wonder if Dude has what it takes. 

Yes, he’s very young yet, just a punk kid, but even a punk kid can 

show glimmers of talent. It was awesome to see those shining 

through in the boy. It makes me even more excited about the road 

we’re on together. 

Mystery Pup Journey 

Winter Training 

It’s the dead of winter here, and since I don’t work my stock 

when the temps remain below freezing because the stock won’t 

have time to recover before colder nighttime temperatures, there 

isn’t a lot of stock work going on. That’s not to say there isn’t 

training going on. 

My dog’s training is relegated to chore work and occasional 

short exercises that allow my high drive working bred dog with 

cabin fever a chance to briefly move stock – for his sanity and mine. 

During these short exposures to stock we focus on my dog taking 

my commands the first time, me handling as quietly as possible, 

and basic foundation work that I let slide in my rush to get to the 

trial arena with my first stockdog. Yeah, yeah, 20/20 hindsight. 

We are also working on our relationship away from stock. 

Yeah, yeah, not only did I let basic stock training skills slide, I also 

made the mistake of letting basic pet obedience skills slide. Not a 

good thing for a high drive working bred dog. And, yes, the dog’s 

breeder warned me about this. 20/20 hindsight. 

We have also had some life events this fall that have brought 

us closer together. He has always been a bit “aloof” because he’s 

such an independent cuss. But, now, I notice that he wants to be 

near me. He wants me touching him and he will jump up on the 

couch and curl up next to me or lay on the floor at my feet. When 

I leave a room in the house, it won’t be long before I hear his 

toenails clipping on the hardwood floors as he comes in search of 

me. And, I notice that he’s responding better to my commands off 

stock as well. 

In Tune 

I have an Army friend who is a veteran of the Battle of Fallujah. 

Fallujah was a bloody, door-to-door, house-to-house, closequarter’s 

battle of urban warfare like our troops had never seen 

before. My friend told me that the soldiers would have trusted me 

and my decisions in that battle because he said I am what the 

soldiers would call “in tune.” By that he meant that I have good 

instincts and intuition. I have always seen that as a high compliment 

coming from a veteran of that battle.

As part of my winter training, I was watching an older video 

of my dog working, and it occurred to me that my dog is what my 

friend would have called “in tune.” We were working on learning 

to drive, and my dog was patient, and watching his sheep, and 

reading his sheep. Watching his work from the perspective of a 

couple of years, I am amazed by his work as such a young dog. It 

is a shame that I didn’t understand this point back then. So much 

time wasted. But, I don’t beat myself up. What I do is what my 

friend said he and his fellow soldiers would have done during the 

Battle of Fallujah. I understand that my dog is in tune with his 

stock, and I trust his instincts and decisions. 

We are both looking forward to warmer weather and the chance 

to continue improving our relationship while working livestock. 

We will get there. 

Mystery Pup Next Generation (G2) 

The dog, formally known as 2G, aka WTCH Cardinals Ashes 

to Ashes, aka Ashlei, aka Ash. I’ve decided to not pursue Finals 

with Ash. For the last couple of years I’ve been fighting some 

mysterious lameness in his back right leg. By mysterious I mean I 

can sometimes see where he is “off” but nobody else can see it. It 

doesn’t happen all of the time and it never affected his working but 

after working or playing ball he will come out of his crate on three 

legs. It always works out and he never seems to be in pain but I 

hate to see it. 

I had x-rays done from his hips to his toes and the only thing 

they found was that there is more muscle on the left side, cause or 

effect, unknown. I also took him to a vet clinic that specializes in 

rehab. They have chiropractic, acupuncture, and water therapy. 

During the evaluation they could see the occasional lameness but 

after an extensive exam they couldn’t find any actual cause. He did 

get a chiropractic adjustment and I can see more movement in his 

hips but the lameness is still there. 

The part that really breaks my heart is that we were starting 

to come together as a team. We just moved up to Advanced and in 

one weekend he got his WTCH. He had some awesome runs, too, 

a 119 in sheep. 

He will continue working stock; he will now become the pen 

dog. We have a trial this next weekend where he will be behind the 

scenes setting sheep.

Question #1 for Mystery Trainers: 

How do you crisp up the “there”? How do you get a young 

dog to react to the “there” command consistently and quickly once 

they know it, i.e.: not over-running the command? 

Answer from Mystery Trainer #1: 

Teaching “there” is a process. My first step in herding is the 

dog going around 180 degrees to balance, then stop and do nothing. 

I will help this to happen by not allowing my dog to over flank or 

come up short. I use a herding tool to help make it happen. Once 

the dog stops without any command then I do a call off. The next 

step is adding a stop or down word to the action the dog has learned, 

with no words. Next I add “there” and Down or Stop again, helping 


with the herding tool to make sure they are pivoting onto the stop 

and the point where I said it. I add There/Stop or Down until the 

dog is stopping on their own. This gives them the feel of the turn 

onto the stock and they find the balance point. 


I teach it with a rope on a drive so I can make it happen exactly 

like I want it to, no fuss no muss. 

Question #2 for Mystery Trainers: 

With a pushy dog on sheep, what are some exercises to work 

on with that pushy dog? 


When I start my dogs I put them around stock walking on leash 

and making sure they go around. When I think they are calm I turn 

the dog loose and have them go to 12 o’clock and do nothing. I 

wait till they stop their feet on their own. I may block sides so the 

dog can’t come forward, so doing squares right to left and not 

coming in on the stock because I am on the fence with the sheep 

behind me. The dog stops on their own. Then I do a call off. This 

may take a bit to get them to respond. The first step I want the dog 

to know is I am not moving, stop moving yourself and second, 

come to me when I call you off. 

Then I work at getting the dog to balance if they are pushing 

too hard. I go back to the fence and stop my movement till the dog 

stops moving, and then I proceed where I wanted to go. If they are 

working nice we get to move the sheep but if they are being pushy 

I will stop the moving of the sheep. You need lots of patience for 

this. 

I know during the training they can get pushy. So I will also 

work in “Walk”, head straight to the sheep if the dog jumps up I 

say “Down”. I continue this walk/down till they slow down when 

they hear “walk”. 

I also work in smaller areas to make sure that the dog 

understands to be in close and calm around sheep. Further out isn’t 

usually the answer. The dog is learning to be close to the stock 

and realizes they will get wider on their own. I spend a lot of time 

on this step so that the dog gets comfortable and calm in close, so 

that they can get wider as they get older. 

Reminder; sometimes the harder we try to make them slow 

down they want to try harder, so keep yourself calm and patient. 

Good luck. 

Answer From Mystery Trainer #2: 

Go to a smaller area where you can influence the dog with 

your presence and pressure. In the fetch each time the dog pushes 

too hard turn directly in to him (step through the stock) and push 

him back off his stock each time he pushes too hard. If he comes 

right back in push him farther the next time until he starts to 

recognize the bubble and starts to rate. What you are doing is 

defining the bubble. It is important that for each time you push him 

out, you turn your back and walk off with the stock and trust him 

to figure out how to work with you and the bubble on his own. If 

you are still facing him you are enforcing the bubble and he will 

not have a chance to learn for himself. When he learns how to 

recognize the bubble, it is the first step to success. This is the first 

exercise I work on with young dogs. 


Obedience & More 

Rosalind Hall • Guntersville, Alabama 

Fixing Our Heeling 

We have been dealing with a training issue; somehow 

Pip’s heeling is broken. The first time it happened, 

I thought it was a fluke. Pip is easily distracted, and 

we work on that all the time, but this time he got 

completely out of heel position looking at what was going on in 

the next ring. 

Back home in training mode, I pulled all the tricks out of my 

bag. I threw the ball while we heeled, I even tossed food and toys 

while we heeled. His eyes stayed glued on me. Next I tried amping 

up the environment. We went to the park on the lake where he had 

to deal with children on playground equipment, geese, people on 

the walking trails, even the garbage truck emptying the dumpster. 

I was able to catch him looking away a few times, then he caught 

on, and I again had rapt attention. 

Net we were off to Pet Smart 

where he amazed the associates 

and shoppers alike by staring into 

my eyes while they talked to him 

and even petted him. 

Surely the issue was 

resolved, so I entered him in my club’s one ring AKC obedience 

trial. Perfect conditions: walls on three sides of the ring, no one 

sitting near the ring on the fourth side, no dogs crated in the room, 

absolutely nothing to distract him. Or so I thought. As we heeled 

into a left turn, he got out of position and ended up on my right 

side. With a second command to heel, he recovered, but the rest 

of his heeling was still a bit sloppy. Is it the judge who is causing 

him to move? I wondered. 

The next step was to take him to a show and go on New Year’s 

Day. Three rings going at once. Perfect place to work on our 

problem. I even signed us up for a novice run as well as utility, so 

we could do more heeling. In our first utility run his heeling was 

gorgeous. He got a little silly on some of the other exercises, but 

he is still green in utility, so I expected that. On to novice where 

I asked the “judge” to do everything she could to distract him. She 

talked to him, walked in on us, followed very closely, and even 

touched him, all in vain. All in vain; he stared into my eyes and 

maintained perfect position. Back to utility where he again had 

beautiful heeling. 

My conclusion: Pip is not really distracted. He is using this 

behavior to avoid doing something that causes him confusion or 

stress. Now my challenge is to get him to work through this issue. 

Fortunately we have some time since he has his CDX and is not 

ready for Utility yet. I have been pulling out all of my books on 


Now I’m thinking that I am the one 

who needs the work. 

training, looking for answers and solutions. I found some ideas I 

think might be helpful in Schutzhund Obedience Training in Drive 

by Sheila Booth with Gottfried Dilldei. In the chapter on heeling, 

it says, “Be calm and concentrated the way you want Champ to 

be.” Of course I know this, but could it be that I am getting nervous 

in competition and those nerves are traveling right down my lead 

to Pip? He, as are many Aussies, is so very tuned to my feelings, 

this could be part of the problem. The answer: use some of my 

imaging, relaxation and focusing techniques that I have gotten 

careless about. 

Later in the chapter, it says, “When a dog worries about what 

is going to happen, his mind gets blocked He can’t think.” Okay, 

if I am nervous, could it be that I am not giving consistent clues as 

to what is coming next ( turns, 

change of pace, etc.)? Again, 

maybe I am the one who needs 

the work and not the dog. Instead 

of proofing with heavy 

distractions, maybe I need to be 

working more on looking where 

I am planning to go and giving clear and consistent foot and body 

clues as to what is coming next. The books goes on to say that 

“Lack of attention occurs when the distraction is greater than the 

motivation.” I also need to be sure to praise and reward him when 

he makes turns and change of pace transitions with good attention 

under distraction. This will help him to look forward to these 

changes instead of worrying about what is to come. 

I began working on this problem thinking it was my dog who 

needed fixing. Now I am thinking that I am the one who needs the 

work. An older field trainer that I heard speak many years ago said 

that our dogs can learn to do anything we can learn how to teach 

them. I am beginning to think that Pip’s good heeling was more a 

result of good conditions and not of my teaching. When things got 

more complicated (open exercises, more distractions, my nerves) 

his heeling didn’t break. The holes in my training just showed up. 

Now, it seems, I must go back and work on making myself calm 

so I can think under stressful conditions and be sure to give him 

the same information that I have trained him to expect so that he 

knows what is coming and can react in a calm focused manner. 

I don’t need a new dog; my dog needs a new handler. And I 

will be working hard to become the handler he needs. That is the 

very least Pip deserves.

A Good Dog will Be Useful 

I 

am afraid this will be short. My deadline was January 15 

and thank you, Cynthia for giving me a little extra time. I 

realize this is just life, but since 2017 began two weeks ago, 

my television had died, my computer died, and I lost a much 

loved dog. It has been and still is a hard to time even find a topic 

to write about. But upward and onward. 

I will go to some phone calls I have received lately, because 

people almost always have interesting things to say and to think 

about later. Two of them were from ranchers who I enjoy talking 

with as their ideas about working dogs are so often similar, but 

they have far difference experiences, as we all do. 

The first one has had and worked Aussies and some other 

breeds for a few decades at least. 

He, like me, was apparently 

lucky in the beginning to have 

a really great dog and so he/we 

thought they must all be like that. 

I understood his experiences as 

he used this really good dog 

when he had no experience with 

working dogs or in training 

them. This was before the days 

of video, computers, or stockdog 

clinics. So what did we do with this first dog? 

First, we took it with us when doing chores – feeding, checking 

fences, riding horseback out among the cattle, and moving them. 

The dogs, his and mine so many years ago, simply learned by 

seeing what we were doing and figuring out what we wanted 

done. Sometimes the dog got yelled at because its instinct was 

putting it in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sometimes it got 

a “good boy” when that same instinct made the dog useful. This 

was his training. The rest was hard-wired into his head when he 

was born. These were dogs who wanted to please although their 

strong instinct did cause them to displease us – a lot – at times. 

When we had the cattle almost into the pen and the dog ran and 

chased them away – BAD DOG. When one cow ran off as they 

approached the gate and the dog ran and chased it back – GOOD 

DOG. When the dog figured out which was good and which was 

bad – BETTER DOG. We possibly told that dog to “go get him” 

or something to that effect when that cow ran off, but we didn’t 

think of it as a command at the time. If we did that more than once 

just perhaps that helped him to become a better helper. 

We used dogs to work the chutes in those days (as ranchers do 

now). The dogs were pretty happy to bite those calves’/cows’ legs 

I can’t tell you how many people 

have told me “I don’t need another 

dog to lie on the porch while 

I do all the work.” 

when they were in the chute (our chutes made out of wood poles 

with space between them) and had to be told, often more than once, 

to stop biting them when we had one already in the headgate. They 

figured it out and pretty much learned to push the calves forward 

when we told them to and to leave them alone otherwise. Our dog 

learned that when the chute was empty we would go back into the 

pen and push more into the chute. Amazing the first time he did that 

all by himself! Instinct combined with intelligence/experience/and 

a desire to please. No formal training but it still is training even 

when the rancher does not realize it. 

These days many ranchers and farmers are far more savvy about 

working dogs. They use the Internet, watch videos, talk to people 

via e-mail and phone. They go 

to clinics to learn about how to 

work a dog or find someone close 

by who uses dogs. The other man 

who phoned me had done his 

research but had not yet bought 

a dog. He had trained bird dogs 

before so sounded like he was 

pretty dog savvy. People like this 

are definitely going to train their 

dog or buy a trained dog. IF they 

get a good one, they will get farther much faster in having a useful 

companion. I use the IF, because a lot of this is in the quality of 

the dog. Without DESIRE TO WORK and INHERITED ABILITY 

TO CONTROL LIVESTOCK combined with WILLINGNESS TO 

PLEASE, neither the experienced stockman/trainer nor the clueless 

one will have more than a companion to go along and keep him 

company (or to lay on the porch or play with the kids). I can’t tell 

you how many people have told me “I don’t need another dog to 

lie on the porch while I do all the work.” 

It may be just me, but when I take a dog out on stock the first 

couple dozen times, I am kind of looking for a dog that will fit 

the needs of the clueless rancher. He is really far from clueless, 

because he knows livestock, he knows animals, and he knows what 

he needs to get done. It’s very important that he gets a dog that 

will have working instinct that can be put to use early on simply 

by the dog figuring out why he is there and what is desirable for 

him to do. What does your young dog do if you simply turn him 

loose with stock (obviously the dog must be able to be called back, 

but all dogs need to learn this) and watch him. Could this dog be

Tracking Field Notes

Two TD Titles Earned in Dry Grass Seed Fields 

at 2016 ASCA National’s Tracking Trial 

On September 9, 2016, the Willamette Australian Shepherd 

Club presented the ASCA National Specialty Tracking Trial at ASCA 

member Dorene Campbell’s grass-seed ranch near Woodburn, 

Oregon. The host club originally had offered 3 TD and 3 TDX 

tracks and had planned to hold the trial at Champoeg Park in St. 

Paul, Oregon. But when many more entries came in for test tracks 

at both levels, Willamette ASC arranged with Dorene Campbell and 

the land owner, Linda Weisz, to use the much more spacious grassseed 

ranch. The club hired a second set of judges and increased 

the number of test tracks to accommodate all of the entries on a 

single day. Judges Roy and Melody Fair plotted and judged four 

TDX tracks and two TD tracks on the property. Judges Stephanie 

Gonyeau and Ada McClory plotted and judged 10 TD tracks. For 

TDX, there were 3 entries from California and 1 from Washington 

State; for TD, there were 2 entries from CA, 2 from Nevada and 7 

from Washington State. Two TD teams passed; there were no TDX 

passes. 

This year’s severe, prolonged drought in Central Oregon was 

at least partially responsible for the disappointing trial results. The 

perennial grass-seed fields had been harvested and raked early 

in the summer. If mid-summer rains had come in as expected, the 

grass would have re-grown, and field conditions would have ideal 

for the tracking trial. But this year there were no mid-summer 

rains, and the grass had not re-grown. The dogs were challenged 

to follow track scent on tracks laid through small clumps of dry 

grass arranged in mow rows across parched earth. 

Major congratulations are due to the two passing TD teams: 

Chuckanut Casino Royale TD II STDdsc, “Cas,” with handler Jan 

Wesen of Bow, WA, on TD track #1; and Baywinds Stealth Bomber 

TD I, “Stealth,” with handler Joan Armstrong of Battleground, 

WA, on TD track #6. Jan and Joan describe their experiences at 

the test, their dogs, and their training programs: 

Chuckanut Casino Royalle TD II STDdsc, Jan Wesen, Chuckanut 

Aussies: 

I started tracking when one of our calves got out and went 

into the cornfield, and I had no way to tell my dog to “go find 

it.” I achieved my first 2 TD and 1st TDX with Kelpies in 1986. I 

then started tracking with my Australian Shepherd, PCH WTCH 

WindDance Burnt MountainTyke VCD 1 CDX RE HXAcd HSAs 

TD PATDs RTDscRV-O GV-O JV-O NJC-V DNA-CP in 2001 and 

passed a test at the Wisconsin Nationals. I have entered dogs in 

several Nationals but have not passed in all the different conditions. 

The passing TD teams: Jan Wesen with Cas TD II, Judge Stephanie 

Gonyeau, Joan Armstrong with Stealth TD, and Judge Ada McClory. 

My affiliate club, ASC of WA, started presenting 2 Tracking Tests 

a year for the last two years. 

Cas is working in all ASCA venues. She has all Started stock 

titles and is preparing for Open. She is also working in Obedience 

and Rally. She is a fun, sweet girl that likes all the games. 

Cas’s motivation to use her nose has caused me to get back into 

training all my other dogs and enjoying the sport again. Cas is two 

years old, and she has been tracking since she was a puppy. She is 

full of natural talent for tracking as she loves to follow her nose. 

At this year’s Nationals TD Tracking Test in Woodburn, Oregon, 

she drew the first track of the morning under the second group of 

judges. The Northwest was very dry and in drought conditions, and 

the grass seed fields had not had water since spring. The conditions 

were very dry. Cas started down the first leg strong and fast. Then 

we hit the first corner and she went left, but then came back. She 

went ahead, and then came back almost to the judges. Then she 

went ahead, back to where she first had indicated a corner and 

went right. She has never spent so long figuring out a situation. I 

was just patient. Then she turned right and off we went. Now she 

continued at her usual speed and pace and confidence till she found

the glove. This is her second ASCA TD, and I am excited to get on 

with TDX this winter. 

Training Cas to track has been easy. However, keeping her 

motivated to show me the articles has been a challenge. We are 

working with variety of article alerts away from the track and on the 

track, making the articles very motivating. I am always keeping her 

interested in working by giving her more difficult tracks: ditches, 

cornfields, dirt roads, pavement, parks, and mowed grass. I keep 

tracking fun by continually challenging her interest in the track. 

I also need to thank my tracking partner Maia Halvorsen. She 

and I have been out in all-weather tracking with five to six dogs. 

One must like to be outside and like to walk and most importantly 

. . . have trust in your dog. I have a busy schedule traveling judging, 

teaching, and with the family. Maia helps to keep my dogs in shape 

and ready to work when I get home. Tracking is a relaxing and quiet 

sport, and I am fortunate that I can walk out my door and have 1,000 

acres of organic fairy farm to work my dogs on tracking. 

Special thanks to the Tracking Committee at the ASCA 

Nationals, Kristi Coulter, Maia Halvorsen, Michelle Berryessa and 

judges Melody and Roy Fair Primary judges and Cas’s judges Ada 

McClory and Stephanie Gonyeau.

REX STDds, “Stealthy,” Joan Armstrong: 

The Tracking Test was the kickoff event for the 2016 ASCA 

Nationals! It was held on private farmland near Woodburn, OR, 

about a half hour from the Albany Fairgrounds where the rest of 

the Nationals was held. 

It can be very difficult to find enough land to hold a tracking 

test, and I know that Jan Wesen spent many hours driving around 

the area to see what was available. Luckily, we have a wonderful 

[Postscript: Since passing her TD track at the ASCA Nationals, 

Cas has passed a local TD test, so she now is “Cas TD III” and is 

being trained for TDX. (The ASCA Master Tracker title requires 3 

TD passes and 2 TDX passes.)] 

Judge Ada McClor, Joan Armstrong, with Stealthy TDI, and Judge 

Stephanie Gonyeau. 


ASCA member, Dorene Campbell, whose family has been farming 

in the area for generations and very generously allowed ASCA 

to use their entire property. That gave the judges lots of options 

for plotting the TD’s and TDX’s. It also allowed the entry to be 

unlimited, which means that everyone who entered got to be in the 

test. It also required hiring two extra judges so that tracks could be 

run simultaneously and save on time. One of the frustrating things 

about tracking is that even though you have been training your dog 

and feel ready, it can be very difficult to actually get into a test. 

Entry is by a random draw and the tests are very often over-filled, 

so it was really wonderful that everyone could get in! 

I felt that my dog was ready to try for his ASCA TD, but 

tracking can be so unpredictable that you just never know what 

might happen – you are dealing with Mother Nature! There had 

been no rain at all in the area for several months prior to the test, 

and the fields were very dry. Add to that the fact that the fields had 

mostly been mowed very short, and there was a breeze, which made 

for some challenging conditions. 

We drew Track #6. I prefer to draw an earlier track, so I don’t 

have to wait around and perhaps get nervous, but you get what you 

get. The judges were so well organized that it was still quite early 

and not hot when we got to our track. It was possible to watch many 

of the TD tracks from my vehicle parked on the farm roads. I saw 

some very good dogs struggle and got to watch Jan’s dog “Cas” 

pass her track! Tracks 5 and 6 were next to each other in one big 

rectangular field which butted up to a shrub line.While Track 5 was 

finishing up, I got Stealthy out of the van and gave him some time to 

acclimate to the smells and make sure my line was untangled. That 

was advice I got from my first tracking teacher, Jack Moore, back in 

the ’90s, and it is still very good advice. I could see my track’s two 

start flags and so did my dog – he kept trying to lunge forward and 

get started, which I took as a good omen. We had to wait for what 

seemed like forever, and was probably at least one whole minute, 

until judges Ada McClory and Stephanie Gonyeau were done with 

some paperwork and said we could go. I said “track” and off we 


went. Most of the track is a blur, as it often is with this dog, but I 

do remember after the second flag him checking out what might 

have been some kind of cross-track. I remember trying hard not to 

fall on my face, and then I saw him rushing toward something that 

was light-colored and I thought might be a leaf. Not a leaf, he laid 

down on it, which is his article indication, and “lo and behold,” it 

was a light-colored glove and the end! The map says we started 

at 8:20 a.m. and ended at 8:24 a.m. so I am not imagining it was 

pretty fast. 

I love the challenge that tracking training offers, and love the 

bond it can form between dog and handler. I am always amazed at 

what our dogs can do with their noses! 

I would like to thank ASCA, Jan Wesen, all the judges, 

tracklayers, committee members, and my husband, Super-John 

Pochmara, who along with all his support through the years, took 

time off work to get there extra early to supply the coffee and snacks 

for the workers and exhibitors and help with laying the TDX tracks. 

And I’m so very proud of my silly and wonderful dog Stealthy,

In 

Like 

Flynn 

Bret Kofford 

Imperial Valley, California 

They see the old dog limp into the room 

and soon find out he is down to about 20 

percent of his vision and 25 percent of 

his hearing. “How sad,” they say when 

they fully take in the condition of our 

elderly Australian Shepherd, Flynn. 

I 

don’t agree with that at all and I don’t like hearing it. I usually 

respond, “Actually, I think it’s beautiful.” 

Yes, Flynn is more than 11 and a half years old. He has 

been wracked by epilepsy for more than eight and half of 

those years. He has had hundreds of grand mal seizures, taken 

thousands of pills to stave off those seizures, has had scores of falls 

after the seizures, including down stairs, had his head and face 

pummeled during seizures to the point of breaking off parts of teeth, 

has been hospitalized at least ten times because the seizures just 

wouldn’t stop. 

Yet he is still with us, still going forward. Every time he gets 

knocked down – and he gets knocked down a lot – he gets up and 

keeps chugging on with the life he cherishes. Sometimes even those 

who know him well are taken aback by his unfailing spirit. 

And all in all, all things considered, he is doing all right. At 

least I think so. He is still happy to be with his loved ones. He goes 

for a fairly long walk every morning and has many days where his 

gait is pretty good. He clumps up and down the stairs a few times 

every day. He still loves a good bowl of food, an occasional piece 

of cheese and long hugs with his human companions. And he is 

still an uncommonly handsome fellow. 

Flynn also is still the smartest dog I have ever been around. 

They say you can’t teach old dogs new tricks, but I have taught 

this old dog plenty of new tricks. 

He is respected and loved by all those who know him, both 

canine and human. And he is not respected merely for all the trials 

he’s been through in his life, but because he is a dog of fine, 

unwavering character. 

Flynn has a true sense of right and wrong. He doesn’t like 

seeing smaller dogs bullied, particularly his beloved but tiny canine 

housemate, Bobby, but will still amble over and physically intervene 

at the local dog park when he sees any bullying of any dog. He 

doesn’t approve of yelling around the house and will implore 

screamers to stop. Anyone who comes into the house uninvited or 

with anything he perceives as potential ill intent will be greeted by 

a charging, growling dog, particularly if that person is moving 

toward my wife. He won’t bite – or maybe more accurately he 

hasn’t bitten – but he will put on a convincing show. 

Flynn has lost none of these honorable traits as he has aged, 

slowed down, and lost much of his hearing and vision. He is still 

valorous. He is still good and sweet. He is still devoted to those he 

loves. 

He has lived with the same loving family his entire life and 

that is a special thing for a dog. He has no doubt that he is an integral 

part of our family and that he is loved deeply as a family member. 

Flynn feels his job in life is to be with me and to be watching 

out for me at all times. I think part of the reason he keeps going, 

even at his age, even with his infirmities, even as it gets harder and 

harder for him to rise to his feet, is that he knows I need him, that 

I wouldn’t do well at all without him. 

He’s right about that. And it is beautiful that he knows it.

Just So. 

The 

Angels 

by 

My Side 

by W. Jean Dodds, DVM 

December 2017 

with 

Elizabeth M. Jarrell , Esq. 

Kensington, Maryland 

I have had the joy 

of spending my life 

with lovely dogs. 

While I enjoy all animals, 

I feel a special affinity 

with dogs, always have. 

Throughout my life, my dogs 

and I have always taken care of 

and loved each other. 

My younger sister, brother and I grew up with Beagles. 

They were my best friends. Once I started veterinary 

school, I explored several sporting breeds which had 

always attracted me. I started with Vizslas Cee-Cee, 

Dani and Genie; then had Pointers Maggie, Cameo, and Winnie; 

and later had English Setters Tippy and Simmie. I guess being in 

vet school and watching dog shows as a hobby gave me an eye for 

conformation because all the dogs I had in all three of these breeds 

were of excellent quality. So in between classes and studying, I 

decided to try owner-handling them at conformation shows. 

I had never handled a dog and I was definitely not a natural 

handler. In fact, at first I was downright awful! So I studied the 

other handlers in the ring and paid close attention to our instructor. 

I worked hard, applied myself and eventually became a team with 

all of my dogs. I am still thrilled that I won the accolade as most 

improved handler in the class. 

I am pleased and proud to report that I won National Specialty 

honors with all three of my different sporting breeds. To be precise, 

I won Best In Show Puppy with my first Pointer, Best of Breed 

with one of my English Setters at their Canadian National, and Best 

of Breed with one of my Vizslas at both the Canadian and U.S. 

National. Not too bad for a mere novice! 

Since today there are more women veterinarians than men, 

it is almost impossible to comprehend how I felt as one of only a 

handful of women at veterinary school in the early 1960s. We few 


My husband and I do not now have any personal dogs at home 

as we travel too much, so it would be unfair to them. But, of course 

we have over 200 greyhounds at Hemopet to hug! They come to us 

from several states after being deemed unsuitable for racing and stay 

with us as periodic blood donors for our blood bank. After about 

a year with us, they are adopted as family companions [See www. 

hemopet.org under the Pet-Life Line Adoption Section]. I consider 

all of these greyhounds like my personal dogs for as long as they 

are with us. I greet and spoil them all every day that I am there. 

Greyhounds are prone to osteosarcoma which occurs suddenly 

in mid-life and can become very painful even before anyone realizes 

why the dog has started limping. The family of one of our adopted 

greyhounds brought him back to see me because he was limping 

very slightly on a front leg. The dog recognized me, looked up at 

me, walked directly over to stand in front of me, and then looked 

straight up into my eyes. The pain I saw in his gentle eyes was 

enough to tell me that he was asking for the ultimate help. We 

confirmed the suspected diagnosis. Thank G-d the two of us could 

communicate this way so that I could help him become another 

angel. The family later adopted another dog from us. 

I am pleased and proud of my accomplishments as a clinical 

research veterinarian. But I am more pleased and proud that I have 

been able to understand and help so many dogs and other animals 

who needed me, to comfort dogs in need, to improve their lives as 

they have done mine. 

The closeness and bonding I have shared with every one of my 

own dogs over my life, those dogs who have given me only their 

unconditional love and some welcome naughtiness, have made my 

life a personal joy. 

They are the angels by my side. 

pioneer women felt unwelcome and unsupported. My dogs gave 

me some badly needed personal self-esteem at a time when mine 

was rather low. My self-esteem was already low before the trials 

of veterinary school. I grew up in the Orient until high school and 

then, arriving in Canada, I was considered to be an intellectually 

brainy and socially awkward egghead. Becoming a team with 

my dogs created a bond and a closeness that, together with their 

unconditional love, got me through vet school and beyond. My 

dogs have always brought me joy, in good times and in bad. 

These three special dog breeds also taught me how to 

communicate with other dogs, especially those who were ill and 

needed my help. My dogs always knew when I needed them. And 

I just seem to know when a dog needs me. 

Many years ago, while eating dinner one night and reviewing 

an animal research protocol for testing a new human drug, I read 

that the study dogs failed to eat or drink for a week and that as a 

result some died. I was so upset that the study scientists didn’t think 

to give them food and water by mouth, IV, or subcutaneously. Tears 

dropped quietly down my face into my plate of food. Suddenly, 

my three dogs at that time, Dani, Maggie and Tippy, who were 

apparently asleep on the other side of the room, woke up, jumped 

on me, actually knocked me down and started to lick away my 

tears! I’m always thankful how in tune to my feelings my dogs 

have been and how they were always there to comfort me.

A Junior’s View 

Janelle Farkas 

Northridge, California 

A Possible Explanation 

I 

have been lucky enough to grow up as a part of the ASCA 

Agility community. I got my first Aussie when I was in 

elementary school, and now, I am less than four months 

away from graduating with my Master’s degree. When I 

think about all the amazing people and experiences I have had in 

the last 14 years, I am filled with happiness, as I know very few 

people my age who can say they have been surrounded by some 

of the most loving and supportive people for over half their life. I 

am, and forever will be, grateful for the friends and family I have 

gained through agility. 

I recently spent a month 

at my parents’ house for the 

holiday break. My mom and I 

were having lunch one day and 

we started talking about how I 

feel so grateful that this was the 

community I chose to surround 

myself with. But, we were also 

talking about some of the challenges I have faced as one of 

the youngest agility competitors and growing up with so many 

amazing people watching me. Over the last few years, I have lost 

relationships with some of the people who once meant so much 

to me. There have been a few people who have stopped talking to 

me as I have gotten older. And of course, there have been far more 

people who have stuck around and continued their support and 

amazing friendship as I have grown up, moved out, lived on my 

own, and am finishing school. 

I do not want to come off sounding whiny, but I was trying to 

figure out what it was that changed in the last few years that made 

maintaining what were once really strong friendships so much more 

challenging. As my mom and I were talking about it, we tossed 

around the idea that it might have something to do with me getting 

older and developing and speaking out about my own opinions. 

We thought, too, that as I got older, my mom started to feel more 

comfortable voicing her opinions, and maybe some people did not 

want to, or were not able to, separate me from her, and see me as an 

adult and no longer a junior (even though I had my own thoughts 

then, too, I just wasn’t as upfront about them as I can be now). As 

someone who is now closer to 25 than 24 (it freaks me out, too!), I 

do have my own thoughts, and some of them even differ from my 

mom’s. Some of these opinions are ideas that I feel really strongly 


I have been lucky enough 

to grow up as a part of the 

ASCA Agility community. 

about, and that I will be unable to let go. Some of these opinions 

are related to ASCA and Aussies, some of them are not. But I will 

not apologize for being my own person and for fighting for what 

I believe in. I am an adult and it is more than okay for me to be 

my own person. I also recognize that if someone does not agree 

with me, and does not want to be friends with me because of my 

opinions, then that is fine and that is their right; I, in no way, want 

it to sound like everyone needs to agree with me. 

However, it was important for me to try to figure out why I felt 

like there were some people who no longer took me seriously and 

who I had no relationship with 

anymore. This conversation with 

my mom was eye-opening, and 

one that I believe makes a lot of 

sense. I also recognize that we 

all get busy, and that, too, could 

be an explanation for some of 

my friendships dissolving. What 

I can say is this; I am so incredibly thankful for the friends and 

family that I have through ASCA (new and old, past and current), 

and I hope, that no matter what, you all know how much you mean 

to me. I would not be the person I am today without you in my life.

your run by 30 minutes after the completion of the class, we will not look for you, and you will forfeit your run.

This Saturday is a Texas A&M home game, so local restaurants will be BUSY, so we hope you will plan on joining us! 

National Banquet – ASCA’s 60 th Birthday Party 

The National Banquet will be held at 7 P.M. on Friday night. Reservations are required and can be made using the summary 

submission form. The meal will feature carved roast beef, Ancho chili-rubbed pork loin, Texas pecan-crusted chicken with 

lemon-basil cream sauce, tossed green salad, green beans amandine, twice-baked potatoes rolls, French bread and birthday cake. 

The cost will be $35 for adults and $15 for children under 10. Notify Lyndsay Smith if you require a vegetarian/vegan 

alternative. There will be a cocktail hour with a cash bar starting at 6 P.M. Entertainment will be provided, along with a trip 

down memory lane, celebrating 60 years of ASCA. MVA and MVJ will also be presented at this event. Come join the 

celebration! 

Stalls / Grooming Areas / Bathing Facilities 

Stalls will be assigned. Stalls may be rented in either the West Pavilion or the East Pavilion. Please indicate which you would 

prefer when you reserve your stalls. Stalls are 10 X 10 feet and have dirt floors. Shavings, if used, must be purchased from 

Brazos Expo Center. Each stall has its own electrical outlet. The stalls can be dusty due to the dirt floors, so having a tarp for the 

floor might be helpful. Dogs may be left overnight, but your name and emergency contact MUST be left on the stall, and the 

Consortium and Brazos Expo assume no responsibility for dogs left unattended overnight. People may camp in the stalls. Those 

choosing to camp in the stall areas need to realize that dogs may be barking all night and lights will be left on, sometimes all 

night long, and the Consortium does not guarantee any peace and quiet or darkness in the stalls area! Reservations are $175 per 

space for the show. No per day reservations will be accepted. Any unreserved spaces will be available at the show on a firstcome, 

first-served basis at $200 per space. Contact the Nationals Show Office in the Exhibition Hall at the show for an 

unreserved space. There will be NO refunds on cancellations received after August 31, 2017. There are wash racks in the 

East Pavilion, and we will provide four Booster Baths. 

Group Reservations: Those wishing to be assigned together should have ONE person reserve the total number of spaces needed 

for the group. 

Clean Up Deposit: A separate check for $100 must accompany stall rentals, one deposit per stall rented. This check will be 

shredded if your stall is left free of trash and debris, including excessive dog hair from grooming. We had too many people leave 

HUGE messes in 2014, so we are forced to resort to this deposit. Thank you for your help and your understanding. 

Vendor Spaces / Vendor Permits 

Ten foot by ten foot vending spaces, with electricity, will be available for $350 for the week. These spaces will be in the 

Exhibition Hall. You may purchase more than one space. Set up on Friday morning will be by assigned time. You will not be 

able to drive in to set up this year, so bring a dolly. Space is limited, so contact Vendor Chair, Kim Eden ASAP at 

kim.eden82@gmail.com. No merchandise or services may be sold without a vendor’s permit, and those caught violating 

this will be asked to leave the premises.

Show Photographers 

We have invited several photographers to come to the Nationals so exhibitors have the opportunity to obtain pictures of their 

dogs in action. However, only the official win photographer will take official win photos for publication in the Aussie Times. If 

you win one of the placements which requires an official photo, you will receive a card that you must take to the official show 

photographer in the Exhibition Hall so that you and your dog’s picture can be taken. This is the only way we have to keep track 

of your win shots for the Aussie Times. We appreciate your help and cooperation. ALL photographers taking photos to be 

sold, including candid ring shots, must be an approved photography vendor. Contact Kim Eden at kim.eden82@gmail.com 

for a vendor permit. Those without a vendor permit will be asked to leave the premises with no refund of entry fees.

RV/Tent Information 

There are 103 RV spaces with 30 amp hookups and water on blacktop. These spaces are located on the west side of the facility. 

A limited number of these spaces also have 50 amp hookups. If you have a towed or tow vehicle, you need to park it in the 

parking area, which is nearby. Two pump-outs are included in the price of the space. There is a dump station on site, which will 

be available. RV spaces will be assigned. On the reservation form, please indicate which venue you would like to be near, and 

we will do our best to accommodate you. Spaces will be available starting at 12:00 P.M. on Friday, October 27, 2017. No 

refunds will be given after August 31, 2017. You may sell your space, but you must notify the RV Chair, Cathy Kenny, at 

rv@asca2017.com. Reservations will be confirmed with entry confirmations. If you want an immediate confirmation, you must 

include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Sites will be reserved in the order of receipt and/or postmark date. RV rates with 

electric and water are $45 per night (no pumps) or $360 for the circuit (8 nights). We believe we will be able to accommodate 

slideouts by staggering the parking of the RVs since the spots are 60 feet long. However, please realize these spaces were 

designed for horse trailers, not RVs with slideouts! There is a mandatory cleaning deposit of $100 per RV reservation. Send 

a separate check with your reservation. Your check will be destroyed after inspection of your site, provided you have left the site 

clean and trash free. You must send in your reservations together in order to be parked together! If you are driving in 

Thursday night, October 26, 2017, you may park on the carnival pad, adjacent to the site, for free. We will send more details 

with your confirmation. 

Tent camping will be on grass on the south side of the facility. Camping will be allowed in the stalls, too. No propane heaters or 

camp stoves are allowed in the stall areas. In Texas, we do have fire ants, so please be aware of this if you camp on the grass. 

Tent rates are $25 per night or $150 for the circuit (8) nights. There are only two men’s and two women’s shower stalls on 

property!

2017 Texas Shoot-Out 

A Grand Finale Stockdog Event Following the ASCA Nationals & Finals Competition 

Ten Aussies and their handlers will have a chance to compete 

on sheep and cattle in a time and points competition for a cash purse. 

Qualifying 

1) The top five (5) dogs from Finals with the highest combined score in sheep and cattle from 

all rounds. 

2) Top five (5) dogs from Nationals Advanced Sheep and Advanced Cattle High Combined 

score. Lowest time will serve as a tie-‐breaker, if needed. No duck scores will be included. 

3) Ten (10) different dogs will qualify for the Texas Shoot Out. In case there is an overlap of 

the qualifiers, additional dogs will be taken from the Finals scores. Alternates will be 

announced in case a qualifying dog cannot compete or does not wish to compete. 

Rules for the Texas Shoot Out 

1) The course will be a form of Course D with take pen. 

2) A penalty of two minutes per head of stock will be assessed to each head of stock that does 

not complete each obstacle. Stock can count 1 head through 5 times or five head through 

one time. Either way, five head of stock must daylight each obstacle for no penalty. For 

Course D, a total of 35 points may be earned. 

3) Two stockdog judges will watch and agree on the stock through each obstacle. ASCA rules 

for overgripping and overworking stock will apply. The dog will be given one warning and 

then will be disqualified for overgripping or stock abuse. 

4) A ten minute time limit per run will apply, with NO THREE MINUTE WARNING. 

5) Stock will be gate cut from stock used in Finals. 

6) Time will start when the take pen gate opens and will stop when it is closed. 

7) Time will be kept to the hundredth of a second, using the arena timer. 

8) Ties will be settled by rerunning a part of the cattle course. 

9) The winner will be the dog with the highest number of points with the lowest time, 

combined for cattle and sheep. 

Prize Money 

A minimum purse of $3500 will be offered. (Other donations are welcome.) Prize money will be divided 

as follows: 

First Place (Lowest Combined Time) 60% 

Second Place 25% 

Third Place 15% 

Judges 

The judges for this event will be Larry Teaff and Preston Kissman. 

Calcutta 

To allow everyone an opportunity to have a part in the Texas Shoot Out, there will be a Calcutta held 

Thursday night. Everyone will be allowed to bid money at an auction to purchase the bragging rights to 

the dog of his/her choice in the Texas Shoot Out. If you “buy” the winning dog, you will get 90% of the 

total paid in the Calcutta money for all dogs. The remaining 10% will help cover expenses for the Texas 

Shoot Out only. Any excess of that 10% will go toward prize money.

New SPCH: 

SPCH WTCH Rising Suns Lil Black Dress UD, REMX, JS-O, RV-O, GS-O, DNA-VP – “Gala” 

SPCH 

I didn’t buy Gala with the intent of earning an SPCH. I just wanted to try an Aussie from all working lines. I knew from her pedigree she would 

work stock and figured anything else we did would be frosting on the cake. She worked all right. Way beyond anything I could handle. Keen 

dog and novice handler is a recipe for disaster! But, no matter 

how badly I fumbled or how many times I told her she was wrong 

when she wasn’t, she never quit and never gave up on me. It took 

a long time to finish her WTCH as I don’t have stock and living 

in Alaska made it difficult to get to trainers and clinics. It was a 

long time before we dared to trial. She is more thoughtful and 

cautious than what most agility and obedience people look for 

in a performance dog and she is definitely not outgoing, but she 

is extremely smart and biddable and just a super cool little dog. 

I may have been the one that taught her the skills necessary to 

earn this title, but what I taught her can’t hold a candle to what 

she has taught me about dog training, people training, and about 

myself. She is an amazing and special girl. 

~ Mary Manners 

(STOCKDOG CORNER . . . continued from page 79) 

useful right now in a simple controlled environment? A couple of 

examples pulled from my memories . . . 

The first dog was eight years old and had never seen stock. 

This dog was a pet and had a good recall but no down or stay 

command. He was turned loose in a pen maybe 40 x 60’ with five 

sheep. The dog calmly walked flat footed straight down the length 

of the pen, fell in behind the sheep and slowly pushed them down 

the fence to the end where the handler was standing. At one point, 

he came out and went to the head of the little flock and turned them 

around and took them back to the end. One of the sheep needed to 

have a shot for a runny nose. The handler let the dog stay in the 

pen since he was so calm and went to catch the sick sheep. The 

dog held those sheep up against the corner he was in until he had 

caught and doctored it. Once the dog started to move in when the 

sheep was fighting being held, the handler said “get back” and the 

dog who knew no commands backed off. Wow! That was some 

dog and would not only would have been useful from day one, but 

he was! 

The second dog was less than a year old when he was turned 

loose in about six acres on a dozen heifers. He went right to them 

and ran circles around them for a few minutes. Then the heifers 

decided to go toward a gate and he fell in behind and stayed a 

few feet back and followed them up the fence to the gate and into 

the next pasture. He came back when called. The second time the 

heifers were in a corner. He was a little hesitant about that, but one 

kind of came out at him and he went right in on her face. He did 

not bark or bite but she turned away from him. He tried that again 

on another one and she chased him. He ran off to get away but 

turned right back when she quit and just almost heeled her when 

she returned to the herd. By then the heifers were not happy in 

that corner with that dog and several of them broke away and ran. 

The dog went after them, did not split them and pretty much “let” 

them return. My evaluation was that a rancher could use that dog 

for simple tasks right away. 

Just a few thoughts about ranch dogs and how they are trained 

– or not. The more a dog can be directed as to left, right, get ahead, 

stay behind, the better. A rancher does not always have the same 

task to perform and if he wants to take his stock to a different place 

today, he does not need his dog to decide they need to go where they 

went yesterday and the day before. But without formal training a 

GOOD dog will be useful.

National MVA Winner 

WTCH ATCH Toprock’s Chillin’ With Ewe AFTDsm RTDcs PATDs CD RX – “CHILL” 

I love competing with Chill. She has endless enthusiasm and always 

gives her all to please me and perform. She always has a big smile on her 

face no matter what job she is performing. She makes me smile all day long 

with her happy to do it all attitude. She really has made a special spot in my 

heart. Heartfelt thank you to Gayle and Shannon Oxford for selling me Chill’s 

sire and getting me started on this amazing journey with my amazing dogs. 

Chill and I could not train or even get to Nationals to compete without 

all the help that my friends and family give me. I am thankful for my husband 

Robert for his support and love of me and the dogs. Never-ending gratitude 

and thanks goes to my sister Meredith for helping me with everything and for 

ranch-sitting while I am out of town. This year she had to do the lambing for 

the first time with me gone to Nationals!! She is an amazingly good sport!! 

Thanks go to Amy Randle for keeping me training all year to get the 

dogs ready. She is a great friend! Thank you, Curt Uritz, for keeping Chill’s 

obedience and rally tuned up for me so I could handle her at Nationals and 

teaching all the fun Open and Utility stuff! 

A special thank you to all my students who come for lessons, and 

support and encourage me to train and compete. Love you all. 

Thank you to Darlene and Kirk Findlay for fixing everything that breaks, 

and for supplying me with all the raw food for my dogs. Chill thrives on her Harmony Farms Raw Food. You guys are the best! 

Thank you to Nancy Gast, Curt Uritz, and Janet Colby for allowing me to compete with your dogs at Nationals. Showing your awesome dogs is an honor, 

and you are all much appreciated. 

Thank you to my friends, Lawrence and Joanne Gerstle. Keeping a Nationals savings account for me all year that helps pay to get me to Nationals. And 

thanks for all your help with the cover photo and training Chill to ride the horse! 

Without my fantastic Stockdog trainers, Chill and I would not be successful in the stock arena. Many, many thanks go to Sherry Baker, Kathy Warren, 

and Cathe Walker. 

Photo credit goes to Kirsten Cole-MacMurray, Amy Randle, Aryana Shepherd, and Lyn Silberer. 

It took a village to get our cover photo shot. Thank you to all my friends that helped. And thank you Steve Mitchell for all your photo expertise. And 

many thanks to Stephanie Nishimoto, who helps me with everything!

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.

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

Passion is when you put more energy into something than is required 

to do it. It is more than just enthusiasm or excitement. Passion is 

ambition that is materialized into action to put as much heart, mind,

It is with love and appreciation that we celebrate the life of "Tanner," a 

cherished family member, special companion, and friend. Tanner loved everyone 

and everything. He found great joy in all creatures great and small 

(especially baby-anythings), and was a role model for both those with four 

legs and two. In addition to his many awards in the show rings, and as a 

therapy dog, he shared his focus and strength with many veterans, children 

with disabilities, and anyone that wanted a hug to lift their spirits. And he 

loved his mama and was loved so much in return. Our thoughts are with 

Mary in her time of loss. Farewell Tanner, you are loved.

Some dogs capture your heart. 

Some dogs steal the show.
