Getting Down to Business
From the President
Rules are Rules or Protect Yourself and Protect ASCA
In order to protect ASCA’s Registry, there are rules for who can
legally sign Registry forms. I will go through the ASCA Registry
Rules related to this and will list certain sections of the Registry
Rules that have to do with signatures. I have left out other sections
which have nothing to do with this topic.
1.3 Litter Registration Rules and Procedures
1.3.1 LITTER REGISTRATION PROCEDURE:
A. The owner(s) or lessee(s) of the dam at the time the puppies
were born is (are) the litter owner(s). Litter owner(s) must be
full or service members of ASCA.
B. The litter owner(s) is responsible for submitting the Litter
Registration Application.
C. All litter owners MUST sign the litter application. The
application must be filled out entirely BEFORE signing. Litter
owners must not sign a blank application in anticipation of a
future breeding.
D. All sires and dams must be DNA profiled with an ASCA
approved laboratory prior to the registration of their first litter
(Effective January 1, 2011).
E. Once the litter is registered, one Individual Registration
Application for each litter-registered puppy will be returned
to the litter owner. This application is to be given to the owner
of the puppy at the time of sale.
Note: Item C requires that all co-breeders must sign the litter
application. Further on is the section regarding the Individual Dog
Registration Application.
transfers, etc.) as owner and co-owner(s), even if the ownership
is listed as and/or.
Note: All owners/co-owners and breeders/co-breeders must sign
the form.
Now read this:
2 Additional Registry Services
2.5 Forgery No person may sign the name of another on any ASCA
registry document unless such person has in his or her possession,
an ASCA Power of Attorney signed by such other person. Any
person, who signs the name of another on any ASCA registry
document, shall provide ASCA with such Power of Attorney along
with such application. The Board of Directors may suspend any
person found to have violated this rule from all ASCA services
and privileges and may impose other discipline as the Board shall
determine. Any registrations which were issued as a result of this
violation of this rule may be revoked by the Board.
Note: The ASCA Power of Attorney form requires notarized
signatures.
(FROM THE PRESIDENT continued on page 36 . . . )
Erratum
In the Finals results of the March-April Aussie Times, the photo for the
#1 Rally Masters Dog was inadvertently switched. The correct photo is
shown below. Sincerest apologies to Gudrun Dytrych for the mix-up!
1.4.4 ORIGINAL FORM No photocopies of the ‘INDIVIDUAL
DOG REGISTRATION APPLICATION’ form will be accepted
for registration, only the original form sent to litter owner can be
used for individual registration.
1.4.5 ALTERED FORMS The Registry Office will not accept any
registration applications that appear to have been altered. If there is a
question of validity, the Business Office will require an explanation
signed by the litter owner. NO WHITE OUTS ON APPLICATIONS
WILL BE ACCEPTED UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY A SIGNED
EXPLANATION.
1.4.6 REQUIRED SIGNATURES – Kennel Name Owners If
the owner of a dog is listed as an ASCA registered kennel name
only, all owners of the kennel name must sign as the dog’s owner
or litter owner.
Note: All Kennel Name Owners are required to sign.
1.4.7 REQUIRED SIGNATURES - Owners All persons owning
a dog or litter must sign on all paperwork (i.e.: individuals, litters,

and the timing of this particular motion seems political to me. The
divisiveness needs to stop, and I do not want to be a part of any
political statement.
Letter of Dissent from Vest: This motion should have been labeled
correctly as the Working Description. And as such does not merit
the same treatment as the Australian Shepherd Breed Standard.
The Working Description was created as a punitive document to
punish the Australian Shepherds that did not work as some in the
breed thought that they should. This document provided a method
by which Judges could penalize dogs that do not work in the same
“style” as described in the Working Standard. This document
created a divide in ASCA that obviously will never be healed …
since once again the Working Standard is brought up as the only
standard by which Australian Shepherds are to work. The history
of the Australian Shepherd documents that other working breeds
were used to create the dogs that we have today. Yet, the only dogs
penalized for their bloodlines are the working dogs. Is it the goal of
the Makers of this motion to carry on the derisiveness that we have
seen in ASCA in the past few months by once again resurfacing
the Working Standard?

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MOTIONS
BD.17.191 Changes to 6.14 Breed Standard
Approve: Busquets, Creelman, DeChant, Gray, King, Roberts,
Silveira
Oppose: Gibson, Vest
Abstain: 0
Motion carries.
Comment from Creelman: The breed standard and the Working
description should be in each rulebook.
Letter of Dissent from Gibson: Most stockdog breeds have a working
description as part of their breed standard or as a separate document,
as we have. I have no problem with a working description. I have
no problem with it being published in the Aussie Times. I do have
a problem with how it is used to cause divisions within our Club,
Motion by Roberts; second by Gray: I move to add the Working
Description to the policy for the publication of the Breed Standard
in the Aussie Times.
Current wording:
6.14 Breed Standard
The ASCA Breed Standard shall be published in every other issue
of the Aussie Times within the first 50 pages of the publication.
A prominent icon which links to the ASCA Standard shall be
presented on the home page of ASCA.org
Proposed wording:
6.14 Breed Standard and Working Description
The ASCA Breed Standard shall be published in every other issue
of the Aussie Times within the first 50 pages of the publication.
The ASCA Working Description shall be published in the Aussie
Times in alternate issues.
A prominent icon which links to the ASCA Standard shall be
presented on the home page of ASCA.org
Comment: Both the Breed Standard and the Working Description
are of equal importance and both should be published.
Parties affected: AT Editor
Effective date: When passed.
BD.17.192 Affiliate Bylaw Change – Lake Havasu ASC
Approve: Unanimous
Motion carries.
Motion by Roberts; second by Vest: I move to approve the requested
Bylaw change and name change for Lake Havasu ASC.
12 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018

Parties affected: LHASC members
Effective date: Upon Board approval
BD.17.193 Affiliate Bylaw Change – CASA
Approve: Unanimous
Motion carries.
Officer Reports
Parties affected: Affiliates, members, non-members.
Effective date: When passed. *Revised 11/15 to include the
following: Note: Any Intro to Stock event in the sanctioning cycle
now or until the Vote is delivered to the board may be sanctioned
and held. On that date, if passed, no further Intro to Stock events
will be sanctioned.
Motion by Roberts; second by Vest: I move to approve the requested
amendment to the CASA bylaws that was approved by their
membership.
Parties affected: CASA members
Effective date: When passed by the Board
BD.17.195 Eliminate Section 18 Introduction to the ASCA
Stockdog Program
Approve: Busquets, DeChant, Gray, King, Roberts
Oppose: Creelman, Gibson, Silveira, Vest
Abstain: 0
Motion carries.
Comment from Busquets: I agree in spirit with the intention the
authors of this section had. ASCA needs to attract new people
to ASCA, encourage everyone to put their dogs on stock, and be
inclusive. However, I disagree with several aspects of this section
and educational materials are inadequate. I think that we need to
start from scratch.
Letter of Dissent from Creelman: The Introduction to Stock should
not be eliminated. It should be sent back to the SDC to be revised
and rewritten to be agreeable to that committee and the BOD.
The purpose of Section 18 is to bring new members into the stock
program. The program in place should remain while procedures
and rules are revised.
Letter of Dissent from Gibson: ASCA needs to actively attract new
people to its programs, but especially to its Stockdog program. I do
think the current Introduction to the ASCA Stockdog event could
be strengthened, and I look forward to seeing the improvements
suggested by the SDC; however, the current event is a good step
in the right direction, and I would rather see it stay in place until
the SDC completes its revisions.
Letter of Dissent from Vest: The comments that supports this motion
are not reflected by fact. Accusations that stock would be mistreated
and handlers placed at risk are an excuse to end the Intro to Stock.
Motion by Roberts; second by Gray: I move to eliminate Section
18 Introduction to the ASCA Stockdog Program as it exists from
the Stockdog Rulebook and renumber accordingly.
Comment: The Introduction to the ASCA Stockdog Program, as
presently written, needs to be revised to ensure the safety of humans
and animals and to be made into a document all Affiliates and users
of the ASCA Stockdog program, present and future.
BD.17.196 Directive to Stockdog Committee
Approve: Busquets, Creelman, DeChant, Gibson, Gray, King,
Roberts, Silveira
Oppose: Vest
Abstain: 0
Motion carries.
Comment from Busquets: Since I’m voting to eliminate Section 18
Introduction to the ASCA Stockdog Program, I think this motion
places ASCA on a logical, stepwise path to promote the Australian
Shepherd breed, introduce new people to ASCA, and encourage
competitors in other sports to give working stock a try.
Comment from Creelman: SDC can revise the program already in
place to make it agreeable to both the committee and the BOD.
Additions can be made and rules for safety concerns put in place.
A date to be submitted to the BOD needs to be in place.
Comment from Gibson: I believe this is a broad directive which
is actually asking the SDC to work on three different, although
related, tasks. I think the phrase “no sanctioning necessary” was
unnecessary; I think the SDC can decide for themselves whether
sanctioning is helpful or not as they proceed with their work.
Letter of Dissent from Vest: This directive to the SDC will do
nothing to bring in newcomers to the program. It was our intent
to try and bring in dogs and handlers from the other venues. This
directive will not accomplish that goal. And, sorry to say … but the
majority of folks who enter stockdog trials will never own stock …
therefore promoting our dogs as “ranch hands” will disenfranchise
many in the SD program. That is a reality. The days of family farms/
ranches are long over. Regarding the claim that the current ITS was
harmful to stock, that is a false narrative. But I can tell you what
harmful to stock is … turning a green dog loose in a 200 x 100
arena and hoping for success. It saddens me that the ITS was not
given a chance to be successful.
Motion by Roberts; second by Gray: I move to direct the SDC to
develop a structured format to focus on 1) bringing new people into
the Stockdog Trialing program, 2) produce material that promotes
the working Aussie as a ranch hand, 3) help people be successful
in SD Trials via training tools, resources, etc., and 4) formalize
training clinics prior to a trial or show which helps new people at
trialing and new people moving up in a Division. No sanctioning
necessary. The SDC will have until the spring board meeting to
bring their documents to the board for review.
*Revised 11/15 to change “Judging” to “training” in third line and
add “or show” in the fourth line.
Comment: Affiliate Clubs who need help in organizing and running
a stockdog clinic will have a tool to use to accomplish their goals.
AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018 13

Having a written guide for promoting the Aussie as a ranch hand,
helping people be successful trailing in ASCA will encourage
people to come to ASCA and stay here.
Parties affected: Anyone interested in learning how to work stock
and succeed in ASCA’s Stockdog Trialing program.
Effective date: When passed.

Oppose: Gibson, Silveira, Vest

Comment from Busquets: I always thought that this list should

Since moderators will be in place, I agree to use ASCMembers.
io group.
Comment from Creelman: As the official tool for ASCA it must be
owned by ASCA and be moderated to maintain civil conversation
and professionalism
Letter of Dissent from Gibson: I do not mind adding ASCMembers
as described in this motion as an official communication tool for
ASCA. I do mind the political vindictiveness of trying to shut
down the other group. I believe this motion was premature since
Linda and Jean did not define “lightly moderated atmosphere” or
delineate what guidelines would be used to moderate the group. I
also think Linda and Jean should have clarified how ASCMembers’
ASCA membership will be verified. This topic and the question
of moderation should have been presented to the Board and the
ASCMember group before this motion was made.
Letter of Dissent from Vest: The makers of this motion did not
present a moderation plan to ensure that discussion will remain
civil and meet the guidelines set for other ASCA social media sites.
Motion by Gray; second by Roberts: I move to assign the
ASCMembers io.group as an official communication tool between
the ASCA’s Board and its membership and will serve as a place
for members to discuss issues pertaining to all things ASCA in a
lightly moderated atmosphere. The group will be owned by the
(ASCA) Office Manager with Frank Butera and Joyce Charron as
the administrators.
Comment: The former ASCA-L is now the ASCMembers.io group
and it is where members are comfortable. All archives from the
ASCA-L have been transferred over to the .io group so members
can go back and research 20 +/- years of ASCA discussion.
ASCA only needs one discussion group. To have more will
confuse members as to where they need to be and it is a duplication
of effort.
Parties affected: ASCA membership who are on the internet.
Comment from Busquets: It is redundant to have two lists.
Letter of Dissent from Creelman: There have been several positive
comments made by new members about this group. Some people
may feel more comfortable on one group or the other. I don’t see
a problem having two groups.
Letter of Dissent from Gibson: The rationale for this motion,
“duplication of effort,” is an inaccurate statement since
ASCADiscussion Group is ASCA’s group, and any other “effort”
is done on a voluntary basis. An honest comment would have
been, “We promised Frank and our friends on the old ASCA-L/
ASCMembers group that we would rescind this, so we are.” The
politics here is unfortunate. I will be disappointed if this group is
shut down, but it will not be the first time in ASCA history that
a Board has rescinded things put into place by a previous Board.
That is simply the nature of our club, for better or for worse. We
just celebrated 60 years, so I think we will be okay. I think the
silver lining is that we are finally having discussions about the
need for moderation to keep our debates civil and both this group
and ASCMembers are in a more user-friendly format than the old
Yahoo list … both good changes.
Motion by Gray; second by Roberts: I move to rescind BD.17.186
ASCADiscussionGroup on Groups.io
Comment: Duplication of effort
Parties affected: ASCA membership who are on theInternet.
Effective date: When passed.
BD.17.186 ASCADiscussionGroup on Groups.io
Motion by Gibson to have Ray Fryar launch ASCADiscussionGroup
Groups.io as an official communication tool of the Australian
Shepherd Club of America. The ASCA Business Office will be the
owner of this lightly moderated group. Second by Wesen.
BD.17.200 Emergency Motion to Suspend the 30-Day Rule of
the Contagious Disease Section
Approve: Busquets, Creelman, DeChant, Roberts
Oppose: Gibson, King, Silveira, Vest
Abstain: Gray
Motion fails.
Comment from Gibson: Although I feel this policy is flawed and
needs to be revised, I believe we need to err on the side of caution
and uphold our current rule, as we announced. Our legal counsel has
advised us against eliminating our policy in this fashion, and I am
14 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018

going to follow this advice. Individuals and Affiliates have already
taken action based on our original announcement. To change our
decision now is not fair to the Affiliates who were trying to abide
by the Board’s decision.
Officer Reports
recommendation for the Directors consideration. Telling a
Committee to ban non-regular classes or Aussies from the Nationals
Show Site is unprecedented and short sighted given the incomplete
discussion and analysis that has been given to this subject.
Comment from King: While I understand the hardship on affiliates
and exhibitors I want a new procedure in place before removing
the Contagious Disease rule regarding exposure.
Comment from Silveira: As an Officer of ASCA, I cannot in good
conscience approve this motion. This issue is not an emergency. All
organizations conducting dog events have in place a rule addressing
contagious disease. If ASCA removes its rule, does ASCA then
have a liability should an outbreak occur? I believe this motion
exposes ASCA to such liability. This rule has been in place ever
since ASCA’s first Rule Book was published. It has protected our
Aussies well since then. This motion should be defeated. If there
is a better rule to be created, we should immediately attend to that
issue. This motion relies on vaccination to protect our Aussies.
Those of us in the healthcare field know that vaccination is not a
guarantee. When diverse populations gather from around the world,
viruses are spread to a non-immune population for which vaccines
have not been formulated for. This motion also allows for proof of
vaccination to substitute for our written rule. What form will this
proof look like to be acceptable? For those of us who do our own
vaccines, how do we prove compliance?
Comment from Vest: My concern with the total deletion of this rule
is based upon the caution that was issued by ASCA’s attorney. In
light of that caution and the BOD’s statement to Members earlier
this week...reminding them of the 30 rule....elimination of the rule
may not be judicious at this time.
Motion by Busquets second by Roberts: I move to hereby suspend
until further notice, Conformation Rule 9.9.b and 9.9.c, Agility
Rule 1.3.7.b and 1.3.7.c, Dock Jumping Rule 1.3.6.b and 1.3.6.c,
Obedience Rule 1.3.4.b and 1.3.4.c, Rally Rule 1.10.4.b and
1.10.4.c, Stockdog Rule 4.8.c.ii and 4.8.c.iii, and Tracking Rule
1.9.b and 1.9.c. This is effective immediately.
Rationale: This rule needs revision so that it reflects current
scientific knowledge and modern testing technologies.
BD.17.201 Emergency Motion on Non-Regular Dog Classes
Approve: Busquets, Creelman, DeChant, Gibson, Gray, Roberts,
Vest
Oppose: King, Silveira
Abstain: 0
Motion carries.
Letter of Dissent from King: I support the removal of dogs under six
months from our Nationals. But I feel there is enough time before
next year to allow this motion conformation committee input and
posting and comments from the membership.
Letter of Dissent from Silveira: The issues covered by this motion
are not an emergency. I am certain the Committee is aware of
this issue and stand ready to fully address it with a reasoned
Motion by Gray;second by Vest: I move to direct the Conformation
Committee to remove all reference to 2-4 and 4-6 months puppy
classes from the rulebook for all pre-shows and National Specialty.
In addition, any non-regular class such as Stud Dog, Brood Bitch,
Brace, Breeder’s Showcase, Generations or any other non-regular or
regular class that allowed dogs under the calendar age of 6 months
will now be limited to dogs over the calendar age of 6 months.
I further move all Committees revise their Nationals rules to
include: No dog under the calendar age of 6 months shall be
allowed on the grounds of the National Specialty site effective one
week before the start date of the first pre-show, during all pre-shows
and during the Specialty.
Comments: This Emergency Motion is necessary to remove
underage puppies from being on the grounds of pre-shows and
Nationals because of the inherent risk of diseases the pup doesn’t
have full protection for because of age or lack of vaccination.
Parties affected: All members with underage pups who attend preshows
and Nationals.
Effective date: When passed.
BD.17.202 Emergency Motion to Grant Exemption to
European Dogs that Attended Nationals
Approve: Gibson, Vest
Oppose: Busquets, Creelman, DeChant, Gray, King, Roberts,
Silveira
Abstain: 0
Motion fails.
Comment from Busquets: I oppose this motion because I don’t
believe that we should be apply rules arbitrarily to some and
exempt others. Rules need to be applied to all in the same manner.
The rationale for this motion also presumes a difference in the
immune status and susceptibility of European dogs as compared to
American counterparts after presumed exposure at Nationals. This
has no scientific basis. No statistically significant difference has
ever been found between the immunity and vaccine failure rates of
European dogs and American dogs. Health certificates and using
the SNAP test for Parvo is as good for European dogs as it would
be for American dogs. Yet, we’re not allowing American dogs to
benefit from the test or certificate. The virus, as strong as it is, could
have been transferred through shoes, clothes, crates, equipment.
This possibility is the same for European dogs and American dogs.
Therefore, we must treat both populations in a similar manner.
Comment from King: Other people in ASCA also follow the same
vaccine procedures as members of this affiliate. We should not
make exceptions for members because of their affiliate membership.
Any exceptions should be available to all members who can meet
the requirements.
AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018 15

Motion by Gibson; second by Vest: I move to grant a 30-day
exemption to Conformation Rule 9.9, sections “b” and “c” to the
European dogs who attended the 2017 ASCA Nationals and who
have returned to Europe.
Officer Reports
I, Debbie Martin, move to approve the following change to
Appendix II, Section One of the Breeder Judge requirements,
Requirements and Procedures for becoming an ASCA Approved
Breeder Judge, Non-Regular Breeder Judge Requirements.
Rationale: These dogs had to travel under an international health
certificate, which verified their vaccination against Parvovirus.
Parties affected: Members and their dogs who reside in Europe,
specifically those who attend the Lowlands ASC show in November.
Effective date: Immediately upon passage by the Board.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
Conformation Committee
CO.17.02 Changes to Non-Regular Breeder Judge Requirements
Approve: Silveira
Oppose: Busquets, Creelman, DeChant, Gibson, Gray, King,
Roberts, Vest
Abstain: 0
Motion fails.
Comment from Busquets: I’ve given this a lot of thought. I believe
that the requirements need revision and I appreciate the hard work
that the committee put into this. However, the particular problems
that the motion attempts to address could potentially be mitigated
through other means. I also think that we need to focus on education
requirements, materials, and opportunities first. The education
requirements may slow down the process under which judges
move from one level to another while simultaneously preparing
them better.
Comment from Creelman: There are far too many changes. ASCA
needs new judges and adding multiple changes is not inviting.
Paragraph C has many things that need to be eliminated or changed.
There are several situations where these changes are knee-jerk ideas
and not in the best interest of ASCA members. Enforcing many of
these is not practical.
Comment from DeChant: While I would like all Breeder Judges to
be ASCA Members, I do not think we should require it. I would like
to see Education be developed for Breeder Judges before working
on this. Rather than increase the requirements to enter the program,
I would favor higher requirements to move to the other levels. I like
clarifying that each applicant must have 5 Champions.
Comment from Vest: There are portions of this motion that I support
… such as more than one person using the same dog to become a
Conformation Judge … but overall, it still needs work.
Motion by DeChant: I move to approve the Motion below passed
by the Conformation Committee.
Motion by Debbie Martin; second by Mary Hellmeister: After
several weeks of discussion with committee members, along with
input from the membership, we are updating the requirements for
applying to become a non-regular breeder judge incorporating the
changes as suggested and highlighted under the New Wording.

18 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018

G. If the application is approved, the applicant will receive
notification in writing from the ASCA Business Office of
appointment to Non-Regular Judge and, at that time, will
be an ASCA Non-Regular Breeder Judge. The applicant
may then accept non-regular level judging assignments.
Upon approval, the applicant’s name, address and
telephone number will be published in the next issue of
the Aussie Times and will be added to the ASCA Approved
Judges List as a Breeder Judge with the notation of “NR”
beside their name.
H. An approved ASCA Breeder Judge at any level must
maintain full membership in ASCA.
Rationale: The requirements for becoming an ASCA approved
Breeder Judge have been unchanged for a many years. With the
advent of multiple show weekends, it has been suggested by the
membership that it would be beneficial to the program to bring the
requirements up to date and in line with the changes created by
multiple show weekends.
Parties affected:
· This is the first step to updating the requirements that have
not been changed in a long time.
Some of the resistance from members of the Aussie community
and in this committee may be caused by personal agendas. They
may be in process of applying or almost ready to apply and these
changes will impede what they want. More time is always better
to understand judging and pr0cedures.
• The motion in no way impedes the cooperation between
breeder and co-breeder.
What the motion does ask is that the same dog not be used by both
breeder and co breeder for the judge application process ONLY.
Additionally the same dog may not be used for the Bred Champion
and the Handled Champion. It must be 5 separate dogs. We already
say that if an applicant is using the 5 Bred Champions, that it is a
total of 5. This makes the total equal for the requirement. This in
no way affects HOF for breeders and Co-Breeders.
• We have increased the show secretary duties to 5 from 3.
And also limited to 2 per weekend.
This allows a person to also show during a show weekend. We also
believe it will give an applicant a chance to see additional judges
in action in how they handle their ring and judging procedures.
This is also to alleviate any hardship on an applicant to do a whole
weekend of shows.
• Failure after the second attempt of the open book written
test would result in a twelve (12) month waiting period.
By increasing the wait time between the 2nd and 3rd attempt, we
feel this would allow the applicant additional time to study the rules,
requirements and procedures in depth and pass with 100% on the
3rd attempt. We want our judge applicant to succeed!
• An approved ASCA Breeder Judge at any level must
maintain full membership in ASCA.
First and foremost ASCA is a membership organization and a
registry second. We already require an applicant to be a member in
full standing for 8 years prior to applying. This only affects ASCA
breeder judges. If a person has financial concerns, then that person
can appeal to the BOD’s for exemption. We did not include inclusive
or consecutive in the motion as the board has been discussing this
Officer Reports
issue. We feel once the board approves one or the other, then it
becomes an administrative change to the procedure.
• Education
Education is very important. We have many resources already
listed on the website. We intend to complete online modules. A
sub- committee will begin working on these. And as completed
and approved they will be added to the website to help educate our
judges and our judge applicants.
Effective Date: The motion should be effective upon approval by
the Board. This is an administrative change.
Results of the committee vote:
Approve: Holly, Liz, Myrjam, Debbie, Mary, Peter, Kathy
Oppose: Svenja, Erin, Ray, Betty, Dorothy
Letter of Dissent from Dorothy Montano: I vote No. Most
organizations, these days use Evidence Based Practices to drive the
decisions that are made. I began looking for “evidence” of judge
applicants moving up through the ranks too quickly. I went to the
Aussie Times, where applicants must be published for any phase
of the application process. I was thinking I would find page after
page of people listed per Aussie Times as applying, moving up,
etc. I found a smattering of applicants in the process – Some only
applied to become Jrs Judges, some Non-regular, some provisional
and so on. Applicants who were published as applying to “move
up” in Jan, were published as approved by July. Not to quickly in
my estimation. The 45 day publication in the Aussie Times gives
the membership at large the opportunity to dissent if they feel
the applicant would be a detriment to the breed. Then the BOD
investigates to ascertain if this complain has any merit. While most
people will mumble and grumble, when it comes time to putting
pen to paper, they do not complete the process. I would love to see
the “evidence” of multiple people co-breeding so they could obtain
the pre-requisites for becoming a judge. The office should be able
to provide those numbers-real evidence – that this is as widespread
as rumored/implied. Not allowing co-breeders on a litter will not be
of any benefit to the breed. We all have reasons that we co-breed
litters, and it is not for someone to say that this is wrong or should
be penalized. Show me the “evidence” that this is hurting ASCA.
Show me how raising a litter on my premises, makes me a better
Judge. They sleep and eat the first 3 weeks, you chase after them
and clean up poop the next 3 weeks. The critical times are proper
socialization of young pups and “puppy Evaluations” and that
is done week 7-9. The first 6 weeks just proves that puppies are
fun, but also a great deal of hard work. I have done co-breedings
and we met weekly to discuss puppies, made final decisions and
were “partners” in the endeavor from the beginning. It makes no
difference who had the puppies and where they lived their first
couple of months. “With the advent of multiple show weekends, it
has been suggested by the membership that it might be beneficial
to the program to take a look at the requirements and tighten them
up”. Ok, what part of the membership was polled? What process
was used? I would like to see the results. “Suggestions by the
membership” could encompass 2 people or 1000 people and if the
perception is that only a few people are pushing for an agenda,
then it is not evidence based. Basing a decision because the rules
have been “unchanged in years” is not based on any evidence that
AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018 19

the system is broken. IMO the only things that need to be changed
because they have been “unchanged” in a while are one’s underwear
and one’s car oil. As Always JMO.
Letter of Dissent from Erin Sumler: I vote no. I vote this way
because I don’t think these measures will have the effect we want.
We need continued education and adding assignments to better
prepare our judges to move up.
Letter of Dissent from Ray Schafer: I’m voting NO. I’ve had numerous
conversations with membership since the first draft of this motion
was submitted. Almost every member I’ve visited with has had
issues with this motion, except one, who is already a breeder judge.
Regarding Non-Regular Breeder Judge Requirements
Paragraph C:
I’m not interested in being a part of discouraging cobreeding.
Individuals who chose to co-breed do so for
various reasons, mostly for educational opportunities or
families who work together under the same kennel names.
There are other/better ways to determine the legitimacy of an
applicant.
The continuous membership with no regard to health issues
or Acts of God is unacceptable.
Additionally, nothing about the eight year membership
requirement has been clarified regarding cumulative or consecutive
years of membership.
After discussing this with the membership, most actively
involved in Conformation, I am compelled to vote no.
Letter of Dissent from Betty Jaco: My vote is NO on the motion.
My comments below.
“Must have bred five (5) ASCA Champions of Record or
be a breeder of three (3) and handled two (2) additional ASCA
Champions of Record to their title for a total of five (5) individual
Champions of Record. (The applicant must have placed all
points including majors on each Champion.) Litter owners and
Co-breeders may not use the same dog for credit towards their
individual breeder judge requirements. Additionally, a dog may be
used for either the “Champion bred” or the “Champion handled”
requirement, but not both. These stipulations apply only to Breeder
Judge qualifications.”
I am against this section of the motion.
*Putting a stop to many people claiming awards for a single
dog/litter.
*Changing the requirements to one person/one dog will of course
take a longer time in the breeding realm of things and will possibly
require more litters bred.
“Must have served as a steward in the conformation ring at five
(5) or more ASCA sanctioned events. Must have served as a Show
Secretary at five (5) or more ASCA sanctioned events. Maximum
number of combination of Show Secretary and steward is two (2)
per show weekend.”
I am against this section of the motion.
Officer Reports
*Increase this to eight (8) or more events with eight (8) or more
Show Sec and eight (8) or more ring stew assignments. Will show
affiliate commitment and willingness to learn the duties of Show
Sec/Ring Steward and all that is involved in running a show.
“A score of 100% is required to pass. An applicant may attempt the
test twice without penalty. Failure after the second attempt would
result in a twelve (12) month waiting period.”
I am against this section of the motion.
*Making an applicant wait a longer period of time after the second
failed test doesn’t provide any benefit.Leave it at six (6) mos. but
require two (2) or more of each. SS / RS requirements with an
educational component.
“An approved ASCA Breeder Judge at any level must maintain full
membership in ASCA.”
I am against this section of the motion.
*Do we require membership in ASCA for other program judges? or
our AKC, UKC, etc... judges? I don’t see that there is any benefit
having judges be members. Better to have a test or educational
requirements taken or completed yearly with scenarios via video
or discussion on topics, what ifs, this happened in my ring, etc.
that come up within the judging program or during judging events.
“Must be at least twenty-six (26 years of age and must be a member
of the sponsoring affiliate club for a minimum of two (2) years
before applying to become a non-regular judge.”
*Altho this is not being discussed… I don’t agree with this. I would
like to see a minimum of eight (8) year commitment to an affiliate
before applying to become a non-regular judge.
“A failure after the third attempt would result in denial of his/her
Breeder Judge Application.”
*Altho this is not being discussed… I don’t agree with this. I
would like to see a 12 month wait period with some educational
components to complete.
Comment from Mary Hellmeister: I think the requirements needed
to be updated to reflect the changed environment.
Comment from Kathy Peycke: The changes are needed.
Comment from Holly Anderson Clift: After all the discussion I have
considered all the facts.
Comment from Liz Gibson: I feel this is the first step to improve
our judge requirements. This motion has been well thought out
and thoroughly discussed. I feel part of the problem has been
that folks do not understand that these requirements were created
over 20 years ago with very little change since then. I also feel
that personal agendas may have contributed to the No votes.
I also feel that increasing the number of assignments at each
level will be beneficial to our ASCA Breeder Judge program.
Yes we need education. We already have some on the website. We
have a great list of resources listed on the website for those that
really want to educate themselves. Education will be brought in
as part of move up requirements and should be continued beyond
reaching the Senior level.
Education is a project the CC will work on to include as part
of the requirements for all levels.
This motion in no way impedes breeders and co-breeders
working together.
20 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018

It does clarify how a dog may be used for an individual judge
application only. This change in no way impacts HOF or merit credit.
By increasing the wait time between the second and third attempt
of the written test will allow the applicant more time to ensure that
they pass the test and hopefully it will eliminate any more denials.
The increase in show secretary/ring steward duties will allow a judge
applicant to observe how different judges run their ring and how
each judge handles his/her books. By limiting the time to 2 shows per
weekend still allows a person to show and makes a judge applicant
put more effort into the process of how a show works and all it entails.
I also feel since ASCA is first and foremost a Membership club
and a registry second, that out ASCA Breeder Judges should be
required to maintain a full membership.
Comment from Myrjam Langen: I’m fine with all.
Comment from Debbie Martin: This motion appropriately allows
co-breeders to meet breeder judge application requirements
without using the same dog for the same requirements.
It also creates a 12 month opportunity for judge applicants
struggling to pass the test to better prepare for their third attempt.
ASCA is a membership organization, not simply a registry. As such,
I feel it is important for our Judges to maintain membership after
becoming a judge, as they did prior to becoming a judge.

the General Membership Meeting and Affiliate Meeting.
PUBLISHING NAMES OF NEW ASCA JUDGES
The intent of publishing the names of new ASCA Judges on the
ASCA Website was to allow them a way to get their non-regular/
apprentice assignments without violating solicitation rules. There
is some clarification needed as to whether newly approved judges
at all levels are to be published, or only new judges that have just
entered the program.

Gibson called the meeting to order at 8:05 a.m. Central Time.
COMMITTEE UPDATES (CONTINUED)
European Advisory
Discussion has been slow. Once they elect their own Liaison and
Chair things may come together.
Junior
The committee has limited experience outside of showmanship, so
it’s hard to understand the performance aspect of the program. They
need juniors and parents from the performance programs to join.
Legislative
This committee typically only works when legislative issues come
up that ASCA needs to be aware of or act on.
Gray joined the meeting (via phone) at 8:27 a.m.
Sponsorship
The Board noted the problematic situation of having a Sponsorship
Committee when the auditor has advised us against seeking
sponsorships due to our tax status.

at the General Membership Meeting. They are working on their
goals for the year.

this week to receive member feedback.
Shanks left the meeting at 8:41 a.m.
COMMITTEE UPDATES (CONTINUED)
Judges Education Committee
Vest will send the committee their directive again and refer them
to the online program developed by the Rally Committee.
Directive:
“The quality of ASCA’s programs depends in large part on the
quality of its judges. Judge education requirements are not uniform
across ASCA’s various programs. The purpose of this ad-hoc
committee will be to produce a proposal which will address the
logistical aspects of a comprehensive judges’ education program.
Officer Reports
They will answer such questions as how much educational
development should be required and how often should judges
be required to retest. If in attendance, should judges be required
to attend Nationals seminars? How should judges’ education be
delivered? How should testing be administered?
The content of any tests and seminars will be left to the
program committees to decide. This ad-hoc committee will propose
a framework for this education.”
Judge Requirements
There is some question as to whether judges apply for move-up
according to the rules in place when they were first admitted into
the program, or according to the rules in place at the time they
submit their application. The Board would like to make a consistent
ruling across programs.
BD.17.211 Directive to Committees on Judge Requirements
Motion by Silveira to submit to all the program committees the
following directive: We would like to know how they want their
judges to progress through their judge’s track. Do you want them
to follow the rules when they were initially accepted or to adhere
to all rules that may change during their career? We would like to
have this back for the 2018 Spring Meeting. Second by Wesen.
Approve: DeChant, Gibson, Gray, King, Roberts, Silveira, Vest,
Wesen
Oppose: 0
Abstain: Kissman
Motion carries.
Office Manager Ray Fryar joined the meeting at 9:10 a.m.
MEETING WITH OFFICE MANAGER
Fryar reported that he has received three bids to conduct a
geotechnical study for the proposed new building. JBS Engineering
and Environmental’s quoted cost is $3,700. Gessner Engineering’s
quoted cost is $2,710 + optional $450. Terracon’s quoted cost is
$5,000. It is Fryar’s recommendation that the Board select the bid
from Gessner Engineering.
Several Directors expressed concerns about moving forward with
this project before completing the system upgrade. The groundwork
for this project is going to take months and will still be valid when
the time comes to build. The pipeline project is still a concern, as
well.
BD.17.212 Vendor for Geotechnical Study of ASCA’s Property
Motion by Vest to approve the bid from Gessner Engineering
to conduct a geotechnical study of ASCA’s property, including
pavement recommendations. Effective upon Board approval.

MEETING WITH AGILITY COMMITTEE MEMBERS
The Board confirmed that the committee may choose goals and still
work on other items that come up during the year.
They are considering an all-breed advertisement, like the Rally
Committee’s flyer, to be published in Clean Run Magazine, which
reaches many agility competitors.
If an issue with aggression occurs at a show the Trial
Committee needs to deal with it immediately, in accordance with
the Dog Aggression Rules. A dog that is excused three times may
be disqualified by the Board.
If it’s happening at the show, that’s an urgent complaint and
needs to be dealt with by the Affiliate at the time of the incident.
The committee will bring forward a proposal for an all-breed
championship, hosted by ASCA. Aussies may compete, and all
dogs must be registered or have a QTracker number. The event
would be held in spring.
Boone, Butler, and Wesen left the meeting at 12:20 p.m.
ASHGI President CA Sharp joined the meeting at 12:25 p.m.
MEETING WITH CA SHARP
CA Sharp is requesting ASCA’s historic pedigree data (dogs born
prior to 1990, or stud books: A, B, C, D, & I) to incorporate into
the Australian Shepherd Health and Genetics Institute’s database to
aid in a longevity study. They would only need dog’s name, ASCA
#, parents, gender, and coat color.
She also proposed a partnership with the ASCA Foundation to fund
a study on Border Collie Collapse, an exercise-induced neurologic
reaction, which is very common in BCs, but also found in Aussies.
The study is being conducted by Dr. Mickelson at the University of
Minnesota. Phase 1 would cost $7,000. Phase 2 would cost $7,500
(only Aussies) or $13,500. If their approach works, the desire is to
try it with epilepsy as well.
CA is requesting ASCA provide $3,500 for Phase 1. She suggested
launching a BCC-specific fundraising campaign to help raise money
to support this study. This could be a ASCA Foundation/ASHGI
partnership in which donors could give a restricted donation to the
organization of their choice.
Gibson left the meeting at 12:30 p.m

the application can be discussed.
BREEDER JUDGE QUALIFICATION TEST
A member failed the Breeder Judge qualification test three times.

LAST YEAR’S MINUTES
Jaco gave a summary of the minutes of the 2016 Affiliate Meeting.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROTOCOL
If someone at a show/trial wishes to file a complaint, it is the
Affiliate Club’s responsibility to provide that person with the
Conflict Resolution Protocol and Request Form. Most complaints
need to be heard by the Affiliate immediately. That may mean
stopping a show/trial until the issue is resolved. If you are part
of your Affiliate’s Show/Trial Committee, you must familiarize
yourself with the Conflict Resolution Protocol and be prepared to
handle conflicts that may arise.
Wesen joined the meeting at 7:45 p.m.
Members should remember to try and work things out between
themselves before bringing to the Affiliate Club. The conflict
resolution process is not meant to be punitive, it is a means to
resolve conflicts.

DOG AGGRESSION RULES
If a dog exhibits aggression at an ASCA show/trial, it is the
Affiliate Club’s responsibility to make sure the Dog Aggression
Rules are followed. An accompanying worksheet is intended
to guide Affiliates in this process and must be returned to the
Business Office.
Member Donna Padgett joined the meeting at 7:50 p.m.
Goossens suggested that a form be created for members to fill out
when requesting reinstatement of a dog that has been disqualified.
Officer Reports
B. Jaco left the meeting at 8:30 p.m.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Creelman brought up the viability of ASCA’s Altered Program.
Those present discussed whether they believed the program has
been fulfilling the original intent. Many people get into Aussies
and get intact dogs because of positive experiences in the Altered
Program. Some expressed concern about the lack of quality in
their areas, and the practice of using “filler” dogs to create majors.
They suggested eliminating the program, and replacing it with an
Altered Class.
JUDGE EVALUATIONS/REPORTS
Affiliate Clubs fill out evaluations of the judges they’ve hired
for each show/trial and return to the Business Office with the
show/trial paperwork. Agility Judges also fill out reports on each
trial and submit to the Office and Agility Committee. Members
suggested that other program judges be given this opportunity.
Member Michelle Berryessa joined the meeting at 7:55 p.m.
Evaluations/reports that list any issues are shared with the Board.
If the issue is determined to be educational, the appropriate
committee will be asked to handle. If the issue requires discipline,
the Board will investigate.
PROPOSED REGIONS
The Board will send out a map of proposed regions and give time
for member feedback before any action is taken. The new regions
are based on ASCA membership population, by zip code. The
purpose is to add more/better representation on the committees.
This is also in response to a member survey in which members
responded favorably to splitting up region 7, which currently
includes all locations outside of the US and Canada.
Schetterer expressed concern about the effect these changes
would have on the organization of the Stockdog Committee.
Tom Morarre and Trish Alexander joined the meeting at 8:10 p.m.
The current region organization requires that Stockdog Judge
applicants from Europe come to the United States to apprentice
before being approved. The European Advisory Committee has
been discussing this requirement.
COMPENSATION FOR COURSE REVIEWERS
The Board has been discussing compensation for agility course
reviewers for some time. Although this idea started off with
agility, there are other programs that require course reviewers.
The Board would like Affiliate Clubs to weigh in on what they
think may be a fair way to compensate them for this service.
Morarre left the meeting at 8:25 p.m.
It was suggested that reviewers could be compensated with
something other than money, like membership in ASCA or
vouchers for other ASCA services. The Board will revisit this
issue.
Berryessa requested the Board look at the recently passed
conformation rule which limited contact with judges. The Board
will ask the Conformation Committee to revisit the wording.
Goossens recommended making a tutorial video showing people
how the utilize online sanctioning.
Gibson adjourned the meeting at 8:58 p.m.

LAST YEAR’S MINUTES

Membership Meeting.
AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018 27

TREASURER’S REPORT
Wesen reported that, according to our auditor, ASCA is in the best
financial shape it has ever been in. The audit was available for
members to review.
SYSTEM REPORT
Vest updated the membership on the progress of the new ASCA
system. There have been some delays, but ASCA has upheld its part
of the contract. Currently, Vest, the Office Manager Ray Fryar, and
System Liaison Allison Bryant are working closely with FrogSlayer
to migrate ASCA’s system to a private cloud. The goal is to have
everything working by the end of 2018.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Agility
Chair Judy Boone gave the report.
“The dry statistics – we increased our trials by just a couple,
but we did increase dog participation by about 100 dogs.
The Agility Committee has nothing really to report. We have
done our best to accomplish the three goals as the Board of Directors
mandated; however, two of these goals – electronic submission
of results and transferring straight across from the Championship
program to the ACE program – require computer programming. As
the ASCA computer system programming is not yet finished, we
aren’t able to find out if either of these issues can be accomplished.
Our other goal was judge education, and while we have worked
on it, we are hesitant to complete it as the BOD has formed their
own committee to address judge education.
Since the BOD has lifted the three-goal mandate and we may
now address other issues, the committee will get back to work.
We had a very good judging seminar today and will consider
clarifications to judging calls and course design.
We also have a survey available about possible changes
to Finals. We’ve received 60 completed surveys. We will have
another survey available online with these and other agility related
questions for those who did not attend Nationals. Look for them in
the December issue of the AussENews.”
Officer Reports
We do have openings in the following regions. Please consider
applying if you live in these regions: Region 3, 1 opening; Region
4, 2 openings; Region 6, one opening.
We want to thank our liaison, Ann DeChant for putting up with
us!
Our yearly title and show report is as follows;
From 6/1/2016 thru 5/31/2107 there were 608 conformation
shows held. 32 of these were held overseas. Most within a day’s
driving distance for most of our European members. During this
timeframe we had 39 new Altered Champions and 223 new Intact
Champions. We had an increase of 15 conformation shows! Let’s
do more!
Here are some statistics for our shows from 2014 to2017 show
years:
2014- 710 shows, 47 Altered Champions, 293 Intact Champions
2015-670 shows, 39 Altered Champions, 225 Intact Champions
2016- 593 shows, 36 Altered Champions, 223 Intact Champions
2017-608 shows, 39 Altered Champions, 223 Intact Champions
Please consider volunteering with your local affiliate club.
Without our local clubs we would not have ASCA events for you
to participate in!
As always, you, the members of ASCA can help the
Conformation Committee with input, suggestions and ideas to
enhance and improve our conformation shows.
Have a great time in Texas and I will see you in Colorado!”
Dock Jumping
Chair Heidi Mobley gave the report.
“The Dock Jumping committee worked hard this year. The
Committee of 10 dedicated members worked to get a set of rules
to the Spring Board meeting. The board was impressed and had us
continue with our hard work. We worked with Ultimate Air Dogs
to have jumps from their trials to count towards ASCA titles. This
will allow more ASCA members to have access to pools across the
US, and soon Canada and Europe. Heart of Texas ASC hosted the
first ASCA sanctioned Dock Jumping Trial at nationals. Besides
the mud, the trial was a huge success. We look forward to 2018
and what the future of this program brings to the members.”
Conformation
Member Debbie Martin gave the report, written by Chair Liz
Gibson.
“Hello from the Conformation Committee. I am sorry I cannot
be with you at this meeting this year. That nasty 4-letter word
“work” interfered!
I hope everyone is having a great time here and that your wins
are what you dreamed of! Hosting an event such as this takes time,
dedication and a whole lot of sleepless nights! Please give a round
of applause to our hosts for a fantastic job well done!
I would like to introduce our committee to you. Please stand
if you are present!
Region 1: Debbie Martin, Kathy Peycke
Region 2: Erin Sumler, Mary Hellmeister, Holly Anderson Clift
Region 3: Ray Schafer
Region 4: no members
Region 5: Dorothy Montano, Betty Jaco
Region 6: Peter Kontos
Region 7: Svenja Hagedorn, Myrjam Langen
Junior
Chair Andrea Bair gave the report.
“This year has been about rebuilding the Junior Committee,
both in membership and productivity.
We have been working on several things this year. The 500
Club got a new tier program to encourage the juniors to reach
for higher goals. The committee hopes to extend the 500 Club to
performance programs in the future.
Currently we are working on updating the requirements for exjuniors
to become Junior Judges. Yesterday the committee members
helped to present the finalist ribbons and 500 Club jackets. After
some great feedback we will be adding this to our goal list for next
year so that the committee will be responsible for helping to do this
in the future.
Thank you to the ASCA BOD, the Affiliates, and the
membership for supporting the junior programs.”
28 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018

Legislative
Liaison Vest gave the report, written by Chair Susan Beals.
“Our Committee Chair is Susan Beals. Our other committee
members are, in no particular order, Darcy
Gardiner and Sunday Miles.
The new website has been up and running for a year now and
is, in our opinion, beautifully done. The Legislative Committee is
still working out how to use it to our advantage to get information
to ASCA members in a timely fashion. Because our committee is so
small, we do not have the manpower to keep an eye on legislative
initiatives throughout the country. In an attempt to make our
committee more responsive, there is now an email contact form
on the Legislative Committee page that goes directly to the chair
of the Legislative Committee. If there is something going on in the
legislative front at either the state or local level, we urge ASCA
members to use this form to alert us. We can then determine if this
is something for ASCA to weigh in on as an organization and also
provide talking points and information
for individual members to use.
One of the issues we are currently keeping an eye on is a new
rulemaking initiative by APHIS – the arm of USDA that brought
us the Retail Pet Store Rule a few years ago. The comment period
has just closed on a proposed rule-making that will change how
license renewals are handled. This rule change is aimed at all license
holders, not just dog breeders. We decided not to comment on the
proposed rule-making.
Rather, we will wait until it has the status of a proposed rule
and comment then, but we are watching its progress.
The committee welcomes ideas, comments or suggestions.
Please feel free to contact any of the committee members at any
time.”
Obedience
Member Rosalind Hall gave the report, written by Chair Laurie
Rubin.
“The Obedience Committee is taking time to gather input and
discuss these major topics:
1. Promoting obedience. We are looking for input from exhibitors
on ways to make obedience more appealing. We have started
a discussion on the Obedience Rules list. We would also
like to hear ideas from those who compete in other venues
but not yet in obedience. What would make obedience more
appealing to you?
2. Judge Education. We propose a Judges Continuing Education
Requirement, starting in 2018. The draft Judges Education
language is posted on the ASCA website. Please read it and
share your feedback. We hope to send a motion to the Board
in December.
3. Stays. We are monitoring recent CKC changes and proposed
AKC changes to stays in the regular obedience classes. After
observing the results, we will discuss changes to ASCA classes.
The Obedience Committee noticed this problem and hopes the
Board can help resolve it. Even though the ASCA Board voted to
encourage the OBIS option at Nationals Pre-trials, the Obedience
Committee is surprised that this option was not in place for this
year’s pre-trials. Does the Board need to more actively encourage
Officer Reports
this option, perhaps via direct communication with clubs putting
on obedience pre-trials?
Here are some of this year’s accomplishments from September
2016 to October 2017:
1. Put on an Obedience Judging Seminar at 2016 Nationals open
to all, videoed it and placed it on the ASCA YouTube site.
2. Created an online OBIS survey for feedback from all attending
trials where OBIS are allowed.
3. Created an additional OBIS option, allowing OBIS to run for
legs and scores only – 2018.
4. Created Versatility optional titling – judge’s worksheets.
5. Updated ODX scoring language to include touching cone on
DOE2 and/or knocking down cone in either portion – 2017.
6. Updated ODX scoring to make it an NQ not to clearly move
toward the cone.
7. Discussed and decided not to allow entries in both CDX and
ODX at same trial.
8. Updated ODX judge’s scoresheet with recent rule changes.
9. Updated the ODX education page with rule changes.
10. Created an Excel trial report form so secretaries wouldn’t have
to handwrite all the trial results and shared it with the BO.
Here are some topics coming up:
1. We are always examining the rules with an intent to clarify
them, including:
a. Adding to Novice A requirements – A handler must own
or co-own the dog entered or be a member of the owner’s
household or immediate family.
b. Heeling Failure to sit scoring.
2. Judge education
a. Finalize education requirement to be completed every 3
years, starting with attending or watching the videos of
the 2014 and 2016 seminars.
b. Finish and publish a Web-based educational seminar.”
Rally
Chair Corinne Shanks gave the report.
“Greetings on behalf of the members of the Rally Committee.
First, I want to thank Karen Black for her years of service as
Chair of the Rally Committee and for her continued assistance to
the committee. She is currently putting together judge education
and handler education by videotaping correct performance of
the different signs. In addition to reading how a sign is correctly
performed, everyone will be able to see it performed correctly.
She has continued to spend countless hours to help assure that the
ASCA rally program is the BEST rally program out there.
On Sunday we complete the 2017 Rally Finals. Congratulations

ASCA Rally continues to grow:
Total Trials in 2016 275
Total Trials in 2017 300 25 additional trials
Total Dogs competing 2016 1304
Total Dogs Competing 2017 1360 56 dog increase over last year
Titles for Aussies 2016 1109
Titles for Aussies 2017 1191 82 additional titles over last year
Titles for Other Breeds 2016 363
Titles for other breeds 2017 338 25 fewer titles for other breeds - our
only decrease from 2016 to 2017
RTCH Titles 2016 29
RTCH Titles 2017 39
It’s very encouraging to see positive growth in all areas.
The committee has, since April, moved 42 judges from regular
status to Senior Judge Status. Based on experience and expertise,
these judges are qualified to judge Finals and Nationals.
Last night, the rally committee premiered 31 new rally signs,
both moving and stationary, and for all levels. Those who came out
to view the signs were given the opportunity to vote on whether to
add individual exercises, and to comment on the level they feel most
appropriate for each sign. Based on feedback from everyone, the
committee will add signs for 2018. We are all very excited about
adding these new signs.
ASCA rally has always performed a post-trial review of all
courses. We continue to perform such reviews. Judges found to have
ongoing issues, will be provided with additional training. A video
of how to build courses is in process, that will soon be available
to all judges.
A year ago, the BOD tasked us with identifying a way to
promote ASCA Rally. We know there are lots of people showing in
AKC & UKC rally that are not aware of ASCA rally, where there
are more opportunities for titles. We elected to develop a 1-page
flier that highlights ASCA’s opportunities. That flier is available
this week for the first time. We hope it will soon be posted in
every training facility in the country, and in Europe. We provide
more opportunities for titles, cost much less, and, we are so much
friendlier than the other registries. Everyone on the committee
contributed to the final product, but the vast majority of the work
was by Ann McCabe.
We invite all of you that have not tried rally, to give us a try.
We are currently working on a check list that can be followed from
picking a date & location through putting on the trial & submitting
paperwork. So, the excuse of not knowing where to start will soon
be resolved. In the interim, we are happy to help with the process.
We invite everyone to contact the rally committee if you have any
comments, questions or concerns. We are here to help in any way
we can.”
Officer Reports
Stockdog
Chair Rick Hardin gave the report.
“Hello, it is a pleasure to join you this evening to share some of
the activities and plans of your ASCA Stockdog Committee (SDC).
I took some time off after serving my term on the ASCA Board
to enjoy my dogs. We have 3 dogs entered in the National trial in
Open and will otherwise be helping as we can. This is without a
doubt the best stock presented for any Finals / Nationals. The cattle
are fair, test a dog but have been exposed so they will respect a
dog with presence. The sheep need a little push but stay together
and do not have any suicide thoughts. The ducks... well they are
ducks are very workable. I would like for Larry Teaff, Preston
Kissman, Ray Fryar, Joe Sherran to stand. Excellent Job getting
this Nationals put together with exceptional stock. I know there is
a move to have a more stable location for this event and my vote
is... TEXAS Forever!
Now on to the business part. I returned to the SDC in April
at the Spring Board meeting and was then nudged to take on the
Chair position in May. I accepted the role since it was such a Calm
Time with No anxiety or conflicts between the SDC and the Board.
I honestly don’t know of a time in the realm of ASCA politics that
equals the past several months. I am confident that I will be better.
The SDC has completed a survey of ASCA members about the
Stockdog program to provide feedback from our membership about
Stockdog program demographics and direction. This survey was
driven by Jerry Schetterer, (please stand) and it was tailored to take
the respondent down a different branch based on their responses.
So, ASCA SD Judges were asked to respond to some different
question that those who did not judge. New trial competitors were
asked to respond to different questions. Jerry will be finalizing the
results, but I will share some of his preliminary results.
There were 220 responses to the survey. There was a very even
distribution by region in the responses. There were 20 SD Judges
and 64 “facility owners” that responded. A “facility owner” is
someone that hosts or puts on an ASCA Stockdog Trial. OK… think
about our ASCA Stockdog family… who are we. The respondents
were 35+ years of age, with the 55 – 64 age group being the largest.
The respondents are 80% female and 20% male… shocker... right?
One interesting response was to a question about “willingness to
participate” in a course that was not the static A-H but something
variable or set up the day before. What do you think? 80/220 (36%)
were very likely to enter with another 43 as likely. The Farm Trial
Program also had a very positive response with 78 (35%) very
favorable and 28 (13%) favorable for a total of 48% favorable or
above for the Farm Trial Program. The Introduction to Stock Event
was another topic of the survey. There were 4/20 (20%) SD Judges
likely to participate and 7/64 (11%) “facility owners” likely to host
an event.
The SDC will develop the summary of this survey and present
follow up surveys to mine more information. The SDC is open
to input from the membership and I look forward to helping heal
the SDC – Board relationship in an effort to work for the ASCA
membership.”
Tracking
Liaison Wesen gave the report, written by Chair Beth
MacLehose.
Greetings from your tracking committee!
30 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018

First off, congratulations to our most recent title earners who
earned their titles to kick of this year’s Nationals!
TDX: Istari Mystic Warrior TD & Darla Huffman
TD: My Montana Sky & Jane Trude; Cut’n Loose Harley
Tucker & Jacqueline Tinker
Special thank you to the Southwest Tracking Association
for your help and support, and the many people from around the
country that pitched in to make this ASCA Nationals Tracking Test
a huge success. The work could not have gotten done without the
experience and organization of Jan Wesen who volunteered to be
the Tracking Chair. It was also great to have a junior come out and
help as pole carrier and driver. Thanks, Jeremy Moyer! Michelle
Berryessa did a great job as Chief Track Layer, keeping all the many
Track Layers organized and on time and helping out people who
had never laid track before. Carol Gerken and Rachel Vest drove
everyone around and got them to their tracks on time. Kim Pruitt
organized some great facilities and kept everyone fed and happy.
And a huge thanks to all the many stinky footed Track Layers and
not so stinky footed Cross Track Layers who came out for two days
and worked hard to lay perfect tracks.
Your Tracking Committee is currently looking for members to
have all areas of the world represented. We currently have openings
for committee members for region 3, 5 and one more opening for
region 7.
The committee has been working this year on cleaning up
errors and points of confusion in the Tracking Rules.
Additionally, the committee has been discussion a Beginner
Tracking test/title and what they could possibly look like (how many
turns, length and article indications). Please contact the committee
if you have ideas or suggestions about an Introduction or Beginning
Tracking title that you would like to share.
You may also join in the discussion with the Tracking
Committee by joining the ASCA Tracking Enthusiasts group.
Details on joining are on the Tracking page of the ASCA Website.
Officer Reports
rescue organization provides and the expectations we have of our
volunteers. Our training stresses the importance of contacting
breeders when known, establishing friendly and respectful
relationships with shelters, owners, adopters and all members of
the public.
We pride ourselves on doing the best for the dogs in our care,
having volunteers who go the extra mile to fundraise, support one
another with advice and assistance, and support adopters long after
that ‘gotcha’ day. ARPH is there for the life of the dog who has
entered our program. Unexpected life changes sometimes result in
alumni needing that support, and we have been there for returning
dogs.
As you can imagine, in 24 years a great many of the adopted
ARPH dogs have passed on. We continue to receive notification
from adopters whose dogs have crossed the Rainbow Bridge after
a long life with their adoptive families. It is a heartwarming, if
bittersweet, communication to receive.
Financially, ARPH remains a stable and viable organization.
We thank our volunteers for their efforts in seeking out veterinary
discounts, fundraising for dogs requiring extraordinary medical
care, coordinating standard expenses (such as microchips) and
sharing resources where they can.
Grant money, donations and bequests have allowed the
Board of Directors to initiate several new incentives in recent
years. MDR1 testing prior to heartworm treatment is strongly
recommended. Hearing and vision testing for MxM dogs is not
always locally available, so we have a special budget for this.
Commercial transport from an area with many Aussies to another
with very few, for example Texas to Washington state, has become
more frequent.
We could not do any of this without the generous support of
donors, many of whom are ASCA members. ARPH, its Board of
Directors, volunteers and the Aussies thank you most sincerely for
that support.”
OTHER REPORTS
Aussie Rescue and Placement Helpline
Crystal Aguilar gave the report, written by ARPH President
Linda Gonschior.
“Good afternoon everyone. 2017 marks ARPH’s 24th year
rescuing Australian Shepherds in need. In that time we have
admitted 10,235 dogs to the ARPH program and adopted out 8,783.
The 1452 not adopted were either humanely euthanized for health or
aggression, released to an organization better suited to their special
needs, returned to their breeders or original owners, or remained in
foster care due to a terminal condition. We currently have 32 dogs
in foster care, one in hospice with her dedicated foster mom.
ARPH’s volunteers are the driving force in rescue. Their
hard work has seen a huge increased presence in the Southwest
and Pacific Northwest states. The Southeast continues to be a
challenge, as numerous smaller rescue groups have developed
across the country in the last ten years. Where ARPH does not have
a representative, we refer shelters and individuals to rescue groups
that we do know share the values and ethics of ARPH.
New volunteers receive introductory training and mentorship
from experienced ARPH Reps, foster homes and general
volunteers to ensure they know and understand the support our

one (1) dog in this class.
Proposed wording:
3.1 Novice A Class
The Novice class shall be for dogs not less than six (6) months
of age that have not earned the C.D. title from any registry. A
handler must own or co-own the dog entered or be a member of

person. No dog may be entered in both the Novice A and Novice
B classes at any one trial.
More than one dog may be shown by the handler provided the
handler has not placed a CD title on a dog from any registry and
the dog does not have a CD title from any registry. The same person
who handles the dog in the individual exercises must handle the
dog in the group exercises, with the following exception. Each dog
in this class must have a different handler during sits and downs
when judged in the same group; this additional handler for the
group exercises need not be a member of the owner’s household
or immediate family.
4.2 Companion Dog Excellent (CDX)
This class has the Open A and Open B Divisions as set forth below.
1. Open A Division Class Eligibility and Exercises
The Open A class shall be for any dogs that have earned the CD

or immediate family. No dog may be entered in both the Open A
and Open B classes at any one trial.
4.3 Open Dog Excellent (ODX)
This class has the Open A and Open B Divisions as set forth below.
1. Open A Division Class Eligibility
The Open A class shall be for any dogs that have earned the CD title
from ASCA but have not earned the ASCA ODX or CDX title. Each
dog must be handled by its owner or by a member of the owner’s
household or immediate family. No dog may be entered in both
the Open A and Open B classes at any one trial.

be owned by the handler or by a member of the handler’s household
or immediate family. A person may handle more than one (1) dog
in this class. No dog may be entered in both the Beginner Novice
A and Beginner Novice B classes at any one trial.
Comment/Rationale: New competitors, or those who co-own dogs,
are often confused about whether they are eligible to enter the A
class, or must enter the B class, of any particular class level. We
want to place more specific language into the rulebook to make it
easier for competitors to enter the proper class. We also want to
make it clear that a dog may not be entered in both the A and B
class of the same level at any one trial.
Parties affected: Obedience competitors who are eligible to enter
the A classes.
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.

Motion by Marilyn Cherry; second by Rosalind Hall: I move that we
clarify that failure to sit at halt is a minor to substantial deduction.
Officer Reports
given by the handler to the dog. The judge must do so without
interfering with either dog or handler.
Current wording:
3.6 Heel on Leash & Figure Eight, Scoring
If a dog is unmanageable, or if its handler constantly controls its
performance by tugging on the leash or adapts pace to that of the
dog, the dog must be scored non-qualifying.
Substantial deductions shall be made for additional commands
or signals to heel and for failure of dog or handler to noticeably
accelerate forward for the Fast and noticeably decelerate speed
forward for the Slow.
Substantial or minor deductions shall be made for such things as
lagging, heeling wide, forging, crowding, poor sits, handler failing
to walk at a brisk pace, occasional guidance with leash and other
imperfections in heeling.
Substantial or minor deductions shall be made for hand and arm
positions that deviate from those allowed in Chapter 2, Section
19, Hands.
In scoring this exercise the judge shall accompany the handler at a
discreet distance so that he can observe any signals or commands
given by the handler to the dog. The judge must do so without
interfering with either dog or handler.
8.7 Heel on Leash, Scoring
If a dog is unmanageable, or if its handler constantly controls its
performance by tugging on the leash or adapts pace to that of the
dog, the dog must be scored non-qualifying (NQ).
Minor deductions shall be made for additional commands or signals
to heel and for failure of dog or handler to noticeably accelerate
forward for the Fast or to noticeably decelerate speed forward for
the Slow. Minor deductions shall be made for such things as lagging,
heeling wide, forging, crowding, poor sits, failure to sit when
handler halts, handler failing to walk at a brisk pace, occasional
guidance with leash and other imperfections in heeling.
One time verbal praise or encouragement during this exercise will
not be discouraged or penalized. Some examples of allowable
praise include “Good dog,” “Yes,” “Atta-boy,” “Atta-girl,” or
“Nice work.”

Comment/Rationale: Rule language clarification – for many years,
judges have typically scored failure for the dog to sit when the
handler halts as a deduction, but the current rulebook omits this
specific action under scoring. Poor sits are listed, but we felt it
necessary to list failure to sit as a specific and separate deduction, to
eliminate scoring guesswork and specify that this action constitutes
a minor to substantial deduction. Scoring for heeling in all other
classes except for Beginner Novice refer to the Novice Heel on
Leash section; however, the Beginner Novice class also needs this
clarification under scoring.
Parties affected: Clarity for judges and competitors.
Effective date: The Effective Date of the motion will be the date

stationary and moving exercises to all levels of the rally program.
The objective is to keep rally fresh and appealing to current and
new competitors and to improve course design options for judges.
Parties affected: All contestants will need to review and learn new
signs from January 1, 2018 through June 1, 2018 when the new
signs will be effective. Judges will need to update courses and
review judging guidelines involved with these signs. All ASCA
Affiliates will be required to make new signs for use June 1, 2018.
A file will be available for the Affiliates to print just the new signs
(there are no number changes or level changes to current signs).
The Course Review Checklist has been updated to aid judges and
course reviewers in evaluating all courses. Webmaster will need
to add new signs to publications on the web site.

RA.17.09 Rally Judge Eligible to Compete and Judge on Same
Date
Approve: 8
Oppose: Gray
Abstain: 0
Motion carries.
Officer Reports
Proposed wording:
1.10.3 Judge Competing on Day They are Judging
Judges may not compete in a Rally Trial prior to their judging
assignment on the same day in which they are judging. A Judge
may compete in Rally Trials on the same day in which they judge
after the Trial in which they judged is completed. Rally judges
may show in cluster trials on weekends in which they are judging
without restrictions on the order in which they judge and show. This
includes same day rally trials when such events precede or follow
but do not overlap the trial at which they officiate.
Comment/Rationale: Under the current rule 1.10.3, a judge cannot
compete prior to their judging assignment on the same calendar
date. The purpose of this motion is to allow Rally judges to compete
and judge on the same calendar date, provided the trials do not
overlap. This is especially important when a judge cancels and
the affiliate is not able to find a replacement judge. A judge that is
willing to judge the 2nd trial is not allowed to compete in the 1st trial
under the current rule. The proposed rule is that used by Obedience.
Parties affected: Judges will benefit by being allowed to compete
prior to their judging assignment. Affiliates will benefit in
emergency situations when a judge is needed due to a cancellation
by a contracted judge.

OPEN SESSION
Officer Reports
ASCADiscussion Group
The Board discussed the future of the ASCADiscussion group on
Groups.io. The group is currently owned by the Office Manager,
so, to continue unofficially, a member would need to volunteer to
take on ownership and the name would need to be changed. It was
suggested that the group operate like the old Aussie-L. DeChant
will ask the membership if anyone is interested in taking over
ownership of the ASCADiscussion group from ASCA.

( . . . FROM THE PRESIDENT continued from page 11 )
So, if someone says, “just sign for me,” what does that mean?
There is nowhere in the registry rules which says this is permitted.
As you can see, the only way this can work is if an ASCA Power
of Attorney form is used. So, this is why I called this, protect
yourself! Registrations can be revoked for “just signing for me!”
And the person doing the signing can be considered in violation of
this Section 2.5 of the Registry Rule and are subject to suspension
and any other discipline as the Board shall determine.
Do the rules allow people to provide permission to “sign for
me” in any other method, such as copies of an email, private
FB message, or Text message that will “prove” that someone
gave permission? No, the only way to sign for someone else is
by using the ASCA Power of Attorney form.
Why is this an issue? Let’s just say that one of your co-breeder
or co-ownerships goes sour and the person who told you “just sign
for me” decided that this is a way to get back at you. If you have
signatures that are not theirs on file, that could be used against you.
If you need to sign for one of the owners/co-owners or breeders/
co-breeders, you could plan ahead for this and get a Power of
Regarding puppy classes at the Nationals – There is no rule that
requires 2-4 months and 4-6 months puppy classes be offered; it
is up to the Host Club to determine which non-regular classes they
choose to offer for exhibitors. A disclaimer should be added to the
premium stating a puppy’s health is the owner’s responsibility.
BD.17.231 2018 Nationals Premium
Motion by Roberts to approve the 2018 National Specialty Premium
with additional pages, the addition of a health disclaimer, and
removal of the word “or.” Second by Gray.
Approve: Busquets, Creelman, Gray, King, Roberts, Silveira, Vest
Oppose: 0
Abstain: Gibson
Absent: DeChant
Motion carries.
Busquets adjourned the meeting at 8:05 p.m.
Attorney signed (this form must be notarized) or you will need to
take the time to mail all forms around for signatures.
To find the Power of Attorney Form, see the Forms in the back
section of the Registry Rules which can be found under Rules and
Forms on the ASCA Webpage – in the Rule Books Section - http://
www.asca.org/home/business-office/rules-forms/
Power of Attorney Authorization - http://www.asca.org/wpcontent/uploads/2016/04/regrules.pdf
Another useful form which is used to allow minors to sign ASCA
Forms as permission is granted by their parent or legal guardian
and for the parent/legal guardian to sign for the child.
Minor Signature Authorization Form - http://www.asca.org/wpcontent/uploads/2016/04/regrules.pdf
I hope this helps everyone to understand this important set
of ASCA Registry Rules regarding signatures.
I love ASCA!

If a course requires the team to make a 90 degree turn to get
into the serpentine, then a turn exercise must be used as the
station before the serpentine so that the serpentine exercise can
be approached straight. If the course requires a turn coming out
of a serpentine, the turn must be made using a turn exercise
following the serpentine rather than using the last cone as a
turning mechanism.

17.4.5 Spacing of Exercises
a. Careful consideration must be given to how much space an
exercise requires for correct performance. Some stations require
much more than others. For instance, the Halt station takes up
very little space compared to the Halt, 1, 2, 3. The following
chart is provided to offer suggestions for the amount of space
needed for some of the exercises. These are not hard and fast
numbers. The amount of space it takes for a sign depends a lot
on the exhibitor and the size of the dog. It is up to the judge to
set a course that ensures there is enough space to perform the
selected exercises.

b. Spacing not only involves the distance needed for performing
exercises, but how much width is required for exercises.
Consideration must be given to ensure paths are suitable for
dogs of all sizes and mobility aids. One never knows when a
Chihuahua and Great Dane will enter the same trial or when a
wheel chair, walker, or other mobility aid will need to be used
by a handler. Some mobility aids can be as wide as 30”. As an
example, a 4-foot wide section for a handler path that has the
ring gates on one side of it and Rally signs to the handler’s right
should be sufficient in most cases.
c. When designing courses, you should take the necessary
measures to ensure there is enough space in each sequence for
correct performance of all the exercises. Setting up the course
or setting up sections of the course for testing may help.
d. Signs on the course maps should not be placed haphazardly,
but with intention and care. The distance between exercises
should be proportionate to the distance required to perform the
exercise. While exact distances are not required, it is possible to
create maps that depict courses with correct sign placement and
reasonable approximations of distances needed for each station
and the path between them.
e. Teams should have room to complete each exercise before
beginning their approach to the next sign. Allowing room
between stations and before and after change of directions
requires teams to demonstrate control and teamwork. The
Heeling and Conduct sign exists so that imperfections in
heeling, misconduct, lack of teamwork and handler errors that
occur between stations can be scored.
f. Large drifts should be avoided and can frequently be corrected
by altering a course path, adding another turn, allowing more
space between exercises and various other design techniques.
g. Exercises that require a 90, 180, 270 or 360-degree performance
must be placed on the course so that the complete angle can be
accomplished. For instance, a 180-degree pivot, must be placed
so the team can perform a complete 180-degree pivot. Anything
less than 180 degrees or more than 180 degrees will result in
an incorrect performance and should not be due to poor course
design.
h. Creative course paths are encouraged, even allowing diagonal
courses or diagonal sections of courses. However, course
design must always direct each team to a position that allows
the correct completion of every exercise.
Officer Reports
i. Sometimes using a cone exercise to get into and out of diagonal
sections allows for the correct completion of exercises. Care
should be taken to avoid obscure, unconventional or backside
entrances to cone exercises.
j. When the available ring size is unknown it is always best to
design for the minimal legal size ring, 40’ x 50’. Courses can
be easily spread out to use more space, but many times do not
squish together well.
17.4.5 Spacing of Exercises
a. Careful consideration must be given to how much space an
exercise requires for correct performance. Some stations require
much more than others. For instance, the Halt station takes up very
little space compared to the Halt, 1, 2, 3. The following chart is

d. Signs on the course maps should not be placed haphazardly,
but with intention and care. The distance between exercises
should be proportionate to the distance required to perform the
exercise. While exact distances are not required, it is possible to
create maps that depict courses with correct sign placement and
AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018 47

easonable approximations of distances needed for each station
and the path between them.
e. Teams should have room to complete each exercise before
beginning their approach to the next sign. Allowing room
between stations and before and after change of directions
requires teams to demonstrate control and teamwork. The
Heeling and Conduct sign exists so that imperfections in
heeling, misconduct, lack of teamwork and handler errors that
occur between stations can be scored.
f. Large drifts should be avoided and can frequently be corrected
by altering a course path, adding another turn, allowing more
space between exercises and various other design techniques.
g. Exercises that require a 45, 90, 180, 225, 270 or 360-degree
performance must be placed on the course so that the complete
angle can be accomplished. For instance, a 180-degree pivot,
must be placed so the team can perform a complete 180-degree
pivot. Anything less than 180 degrees or more than 180 degrees
will result in an incorrect performance and should not be due to
poor course design.
h. Creative course paths are encouraged, even allowing diagonal
courses or diagonal sections of courses. However, course
design must always direct each team to a position that allows
the correct completion of every exercise.
i. Sometimes using a cone exercise to get into and out of diagonal
sections allows for the correct completion of exercises. Care
should be taken to avoid obscure, unconventional or backside
entrances to cone exercises.
j. Signs for 45-degree diagonal and 225 degree loops can be used
to go into, or transition from, a diagonal path.
j. When the available ring size is unknown it is always best to
design for the minimal legal-size ring, 40’ x 50’. Courses can
be easily spread out to use more space, but many times do not
squish together well.

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.

Australian Shepherd Breed Standard (Revised)
Effective June 1, 2013
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.
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.

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@

“CHILL”
Chill has endless enthusiasm and always gives everything she’s got. She always has a big
smile on her face no matter what job she is performing. She makes me smile all day, every day. I
love her so much. 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. She makes it easy to concentrate on competing, knowing that
everything at home is run smoothly.
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, Amy Randle, and Julliette Joyce, 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!
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 Lawrence Gerstle. 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!

Gina Larson, Committee Chair, windmillaussies@outlook.com
Greetings and happy new year from the DNA committee. We
would like to welcome Jan Wesen to our committee.
Many of us are still dealing with problems caused by winter
storms so things have been quiet. Spring will find us working on
more educational materials, including the difference between DNA
testing and genetic testing. We will also be looking at our page on
the ASCA website to see if anything can be added or improved.
Stay tuned for information on the 2018 ASCA nationals blood
draw. There is a possibility that it will be split over two days or
maybe one day a few hours in the a.m. and a few in the p.m. We
would love to hear from ASCA members what would work best
for them.
Dock Jumping Committee
Heidi Mobley, Committee Chair, whaussies@gmail.com
Just a reminder to all, if you jump at a Ultimate Air Dog trial,
give them your ASCA number. These jumps will be sent to ASCA
for ASCA titles.
To find events for UAD visit their site at http://www.
ultimateairdogs.com/. Any questions, don’t hesitate to write the
committee head, Heidi Mobley whaussies@gmail.com.
Obedience Committee
Submitted by Marilyn Cherry, Obedience Co-chair,
kamikaussie@yahoo.com. with contributions from Pat Pierce
The ASCA Board recently passed two Obedience motions
that will go into effect with the next Obedience rulebook. The first
motion clarifies eligibility rules for the “A” classes (vs. the “B”
classes) for each class level. The second motion clarifies deductions
required for a dog that does not sit when the handler halts during
heeling.
The Obedience Committee recently welcomed two new
members: Jan Wesen from Region 1 and Marianne Kunzmann from
Region 7. Our Committee includes members from three countries
and almost all the ASCA regions. We want to thank Jane Small,
who recently resigned as committee member, for her contributions
to the committee.
We are currently discussing the development of honorary title
distinctions for earning high scores in a class. These title distinctions
would be in addition to and separate from the current Honor Dog
program, which will remain in place. Our discussions include title
designation, which classes would be eligible for the title, and how
to ensure that competitors can continue to trial at a certain level
long enough to earn the honorary title from that class.
The following was submitted by Committee member Pat
Pierce. Pat describes how training and trialling in rally compliments
and benefits training and trialling obedience, and vice versa. Our
hope is that ASCA participants will try out both programs, and
training for one will enhance training in the other area.
Aussies are not listed among the “typical” obedience breeds.
Our breed was developed to work with people, but it is also required
to solve problems independently, based on both the assigned task
and existing conditions. Unlike Goldens and Border Collies who
can handle repeating an exercise over and over, Aussies tend
to get creative when asked to repeat something several times.
When working on an exercise, it helps to break the performance
into smaller subsets, instead of continued repetition of the entire
exercise. This way, the dog learns each small step correctly, and
eventually the whole sequence can be reassembled without the dog
getting either creative, or bored, from repetition.
Working on perfecting small parts of obedience exercises is
precisely where rally originated. Heeling is the most challenging
part of obedience to perfect, because constant repetition in a straight
line, or even in curves and circles, quickly bores our creative
teammates. But a creative handler can choose to include many rally
exercises in a training session, in order to polish an obedience skill.
For example, consider the left turn. Common problems can include
dropping the head, losing focus, lagging, forging, turning too wide
or crowding the handler, but most of all not having sufficient control
in the rear end to either take crossing-over steps or side steps in
the rear, while keeping the head up and remaining precisely in heel
position. Rally exercises for working on perfecting an obedience left
turn include: 360 Circle Left, 270 Left, 90 Pivot Left, About U turn,
Spiral Left, Serpentine One Way (with and without distractions),
Serpentine Down and Back (with and without distractions), Offset
Fig 8 (with and without distractions), Halt U Turn, U turn Halt, Halt
180 Pivot Left Halt, Back Up 3 Steps, 270 Left Halt, Halt Pivot
Left Halt x3, and Halt Backup 1 step Halt. If you’re counting, that’s
18 different small games or exercises you can use to help your dog
perfect that “simple” left turn! With these training tools, neither
you nor your dog will get bored from repetition.
Obedience handlers should consider also trialing in Rally
because the latter develops handler problem solving skills, as well
as perfecting heeling teamwork. Where obedience is like driving
with a talking GPS unit that tells you where to turn and when to stop,
rally requires the handler to count, pay attention to the signs, provide
leadership for your teammate, and assess whether performance
of that last sign was correct, just a little off, or flawed in a way
that it should (and can!) be repeated. Young and less experienced
dogs often benefit from both the positive ring experience and the
allowable extra commands; as their skills and confidence grow,
heeling improves and handlers don’t need to provide all the extra
help, to the point where a team heeling in the Rally Masters class
may look just as polished as those OTCH dogs in Utility B.
AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018 59

For many, Obedience and Rally are complementary approaches
for developing precise dog and handler teamwork. Rally’s various
levels and always differing courses help polish future obedience
performances and allow for rally ring success. Showing and training
in both benefits dog and handler alike. Obedience, or rally? It’s
like being asked to choose between chocolate cake or chocolate
ice cream – Why not choose both?!
Rally Committee
Corinne Shank, Committee Chair. gckennel@aol.com
After years of work and promises, the new signs are here, and
will be effective June 1, 2018. So, time to start training! The new
signs can start appearing on courses on June 1 st . A preliminary
list of the 2018 new signs has been posed on the ASCA web site.
The color is not yet right, and some clean-up is needed, but the
information you need to start training your dog is available. Signs
for clubs to print for trials will be posted as soon as possible.
As a reminder to those that have been around a while, and an
FYI to those new to our sport, Rally was created as a way to prepare
your dog for Obedience. Each Rally level is progressively more
difficult, and fewer commands are allowed. The exercises in the
stations are all baby steps for what will be required in Obedience.
Obedience has now added ODX, with some new exercises. We
added new Rally exercises intended to help prepare for ODX by
taking some baby steps in rally. We hope everyone will enjoy these
new signs, even if they have no plans to enter Obedience.
As a judge or a table steward, I am often asked why a team lost
points on a specific station. There is often one common mistake –
Committee Reports
the team did not do all of the bolded and underlined portions of
the sign description. The handler’s response is that their instructor
had never told them about the bold and underlined portion of
the sign description, or the importance of including all elements
as stated. For each sign, the bold and underlined portion must be
completed to avoid getting an IP (incorrect performance) for that
station. An IP on a star station can be devastating to an otherwise
perfect run. Handlers are encouraged to periodically review the
full sign descriptions, especially if that sign has not been seen in
recent trials. Though the signs in the ring offer a good explanation,
there may be little elements that are described only in the full sign
description.
As a way of helping handlers understand how they might be
losing points, videos have been made of teams that are performing
stations correctly, and not quite correct, so points are lost. The goal
was to have these videos available via YouTube on 1/1/18. However,
because some computer programs cannot talk to others, the project
has been delayed. It is hoped that the language barrier will be
removed by the time you are reading this. This same information is
being made available to all judges through their education module.
This should put all handlers and judges on the same page.
Want to know the latest news in and around the Rally ring?
Watch the AussEnews for updates.
If you haven’t yet tried Rally, come check us out at a trial near
you. If your club has not yet hosted a rally trial, please contact a
member of the Rally committee, we will walk you through the
process.
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.

Laura Young, Affiliate Representative, laurayoung@cox.net
Hi, I hope everyone enjoyed a great holiday. Another year
has come and gone and it is time to reflect on 2017. Australian
Shepherd Club of Arizona (ASC of AZ) had another active year.
We held 14 conformation shows with many altered majors. We
had 8 Obedience, 10 Rally, 21 Herding (Woo Hoo), and 6 Agility
trials. Thanks to the PSR group for keeping our herding trials strong
between Painted 7 Ranch in Dewey and Fastlane Aussie Acres in
Litchfield Park, AZ. A big thanks goes to Vickie McNulty for her
hard work as Agility trial show chair and to Diana Curl for chairing
most of the Obedience and Rally trials. Therese Ludwig and Laura
Young continue to keep our conformation shows on track and
running smoothly.
The club had fun with an educational event about using
essential oils for dogs and humans. Many members report using
these oils with good results. ASC of AZ was able to donate $85 to
each venue at 2017 Nationals totaling $425. The club continues to
support local Aussie rescue with a $1,200 donation.
Our club likes to highlight member accomplishments, and this
year Vickie McNulty reports several. In 2017, ATCH 2, RTCH 2
SkyRyder’s Field of Dreams CD, ASCA CDX, RSDA-O, RAE,
REMX, RTX (“Conor”) earned his RTCH 2. He also qualified for
Rally Finals but unfortunately couldn’t attend Nationals this year.
ATCH 2 Jubilee’s Set Fire to the Rain CD, GN, RTX (“Carson”),
also owned by Vickie McNulty, earned his ATCH 2. He qualified
for Agility Finals but couldn’t attend this year. Carson finished 2017
with a bang in agility, finishing in 2 nd place in ASC of AZ and Tail
Waggin’s agility DARE challenge!
New member Scott Hauert completed ASCA Started & Open
Sheep titles with his dog Cocoa. He and Cocoa are enthusiastically
pursuing expertise in several other venues as well
Thank you to all who visited or participated in our events. We
hope to see you all again in 2018.
ASC of Southern California
Lorraine Cirinelli, Affiliate Representative, Lcirinelli@aol.com
The Australian Shepherd Club of Southern California, Inc.
had a very busy Conformation, Rally, Obedience and Agility year
in 2017. We had a Seminar with Denise Fenzi, an eye clinic with
a record number of dogs, due to the organization of Lynda Peppel.
We had Our Annual Raffle For Rescue benefiting Aussie Rescue
So Cal., and a very fun Benefit Agility Trial to help our good friend
Maryjean Shaffer after the loss of her lovely ZsaZsa.
I have included some highlights of the 2017 ASCA season in
the words of our members.
Laurie Burnam says: "I am proud to say that 5 year old Scusi
and I earned our obedience utility title, UD, our agility elite
regular and elite jumpers titles, RS-E JS-E, our rally excellent/
master X title, REMX, thus also earning the rally trial excellent
title, RTX, having gotten all scores above 195 for novice,
advanced, excellent and master levels. Not too shabby and she
68 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018
did it all with a skip and a hop and a smile on her silly cute face."
From Donna Downs: “We went to Texas. Great fun, well run
nationals. Rincon had fun, and entertained in novice agility. Baron
racked up a bunch of ribbons, but fell short of achieving his WTCH.
He needs just 2 cattle q’s, they are proving elusive.”
Linda and Kevin Knight say: “Roxy earned ATCH II.
From Lynda Peppel: “Flash” Ch. Jamara’s Flash Point got his
Novice Veterans Titles in Agility, and his Rally Advanced Excellent
Title.”
From Debbie Lange: “We had a fun 2017 – at 11 years old
Quila earned her ATCH II, gaining most of the points on the way
to qualifying for Veterans Finals. At Texas Nationals she scored a
perfect 200 in Rally Excellent to finish her REX title and to place
2 nd out of the 71 dogs entered. Panda finished her GS-N, JS-N-OP,
RS-N, JS-O, GS-N-OP, GS-N-SP agility titles, and qualified for
the Jumpers Novice 2016-17 Merit List. Panda finished her Rally
Advanced title at the Nationals Pre-trial, and earned her first RAX
score with a 2 nd place at the Texas Nationals Rally trial.”
We all look forward to 2018 and Greeley, as well as beginning
to gear up for Bakersfield Nationals in 2019. Lots of Trials and
shows!!

The Australian Shepherd Club of Utah had an incredible 2017!
We are so proud of our longstanding, committed members as well
as the many new members that are committed to the Australian
Shepherd breed!
We are especially proud of our next generation of junior
handlers. Oftentimes our club’s Peewee class is the largest class
at our shows. We are very hopeful that they will continue with the
sport. We have weekly summer handling clinic where the juniors
are our main focus. Watching these kids and their dogs brings joy
to everyone in attendance.
While we are waiting for our next generation to become eligible

very proud with her accomplishment at a National level. Bailey

Delta AS Fanciers
Leslie J. Fassio, Affiliate Representative, Lj@2G-Rose.net
DASF (Delta Australian Shepherd Fanciers) hold their events in
Turlock, CA. 2017 started with 4 Conformation Shows in January,
with one of the highlights being the lunch on Saturday of homemade
Turkey Noodle Soup (yes, even the noodles are handmade!) and
Chili. On the brisk days of January, this is a welcomed treat that
our President Susan Harris provides for the exhibitors and judges.
Our Spring Shows are held in conjunction with PASA and offers
two days of Agility, 5 Conformation Shows and 2 each Obedience
and Rally Trials. Sunday morning starts with an Easter Egg Hunt
for different age groups. There have been wonderful finds in
those plastic eggs (show leads and gift certificates and other fun
surprises!) along with plenty of laughs from all that participate. On
Saturday we have one of the best raffles around, raising several
Thousand dollars for ASGHI and ARPH, where 100% of the
proceeds go to these groups.
In the heat of a June summer we offered 4 Conformation shows,
followed by a Handling Seminar and A Sr. Handling Competition.
We’ve gotten known for our pot luck dinners afterwards where all
exhibitors and their friends are welcomed.
Labor Day Weekend we tried to hold 4 more Conformation
Shows and 2 each Obedience and Rally Trials, but Mother Nature
decided to increase the temperatures to 106°. No indoor options
were available with less than a weeks notice, so we opted to
postpone the shows until November. We were able to have the
4 conformation shows and our now traditional pot luck dinner
afterwards. Sadly, we were not able to host the Obedience and
Rally Trials.
We are looking forward to more fun in 2018, with our club
members and exhibitors! Stop by if you are in the area, you’re
guaranteed a fun time!

Hello from Northern Nevada!
Now, if you haven’t entered our Fifth Annual Sierra Shadows
Farm and Stockdog Trials, April 6- 8, you must put this 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 Canby Scott and Marti Parrish. There will be
two Farm Trials (one mixed, one sheep), and four Stockdog Trials
(cattle, sheep & geese). For more info, contact Carrie Dempsey at
qacarrie@charter.net, or 775-720-4025.
Last year’s Sierra Shadows’ winners of two of our four
gorgeous HIT buckles were, Greg McClintock High Combined
AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018 69

Australian Shepherd, “Tuffy,” and Sylvia Arnett, High Combined
Border Collie, “Jen”
May 11-13, we’ll be back with our High Sierra Summer Classic
Agility Trial. Roger Coor will be judging 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. Two
years ago we added fencing to our equipment list, so our Regular/

always appreciate that none of this would be possible without our
wonderful Australian Shepherds and our parent club.

Greetings from sunny Southern California,
Another successful year of shows has flown by and we already
into the 2018 show season. Ocean View ASC successfully hosted
twenty sanctioned Conformation shows in 2017. We welcomed
new member, Cara Jensen, into the club last year.
Ocean View rang in the New Year hosting four conformation
shows in January. The weather was a bit windy on Saturday and
beautiful on Sunday. Several dogs also completed their ASCA
championships over the weekend and moved up to Best of Breed
class. We provided lunch for all the exhibitors on Sunday. It was
yummy and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. 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.
The March Spring Fling shows were a success. It was a
hot, hot, hot, weekend at Pike’s Peak in Riverside. We had a
great turnout of dogs, several finishing their championships.
The Junior Handlers were awesome as always. On Sunday West
Coast Australian Shepherd Association joined us and hosted two
obedience trials. It is always fun when we can join forces with
other clubs and have multiple events.
Our June Picnic in the Parks shows were small, but fun. We
combined events with Tri County Australian Shepherd Working
Association and had conformation, obedience and rally. Thank
you Tri County for loaning us equipment for our conformation
ring set up. We couldn’t have done it without you. The Aloha
Social shows in August were better attended despite the high heat
and humidity of a heat wave. We had fun, creative prizes and
colorful, festive rosettes for the Hawi’ian theme.
The Fall Spectacular shows in November ended our 2017
show season. We had a nice turnout of exhibitors and junior
handlers. Quite a few peewee’s and sub junior handlers added
to the fun. We had several dogs complete their championships
and move up to Best of Breed class. Congratulations, everyone.

Thanks, Malcolm Helman, for replacing our judge on such short
notice. We appreciate it. Many thanks go out to all the exhibitors
and judges who have supported our events the past year.
A few of our members attended the 2017 ASCA National
Specialty held in College Station, Texas. Ocean View ASC was
once again proud to sponsor the award for Best Junior Handler in
the ASCA National Junior Finals competition at Nationals.
The year ended with our annual Holiday/Christmas Party.
Everyone had a great time. The Secret Santa gift exchange is always
really fun and we had more steals than we have ever had. We wish
everyone the best of luck in 2018.
Thank you OVASC club members for all the hard work you
do to put on such fun events.
Please visit our website for upcoming events: www.ovasc.org.
Peninsula ASA
Donna Highstreet, Affiliate Representative, dhist@yahoo.com
Greetings from Peninsula Australian Shepherd Association
(PASA), located in the greater San Francisco Bay Area and
beyond. In 2017, PASA hosted 4 weekends of agility, with 2 trials
each. At our fall event, we also had 2 rally trials and 2 obedience
trials. Thank you so much to all of the “aussome” volunteers who
make our trials special! We couldn’t do it without you!
This past year we changed our meeting schedule. Attendance
was dwindling due to heavy traffic on weeknights, so 8 of our
meetings were held as telephone conference calls instead. Not our
favorite, since we can›t chitchat so much, and tend to all talk at
the same time, but we are getting better at it, and it sure is nice to
be home instead of fighting the traffic. The other meetings were
in conjunction with club activities such as a fun day with agility
and rally run throughs, a day at the beach with our Aussies, and
of course, the ever-popular Holiday Brunch at Mona and Doug
Nichols home. Mona is our “hostess with the mostest”! Their home
is decorated so beautifully for the holidays. We have a potluck
brunch, and a short meeting to elect officers. We award wall plaques
and yearly title bars to each member. Then we end with the always
fun, popular, and brutal gift exchange!
PASA held 3 educational events in 2017. In March we had an
introduction to stock seminar for those interested. In July we had
an introduction to dock diving day. In October, Gina Campodonico
spent a day teaching us how to bathe and groom our Aussies.
2017 was a year of much suffering and loss due to the
devastating hurricanes and wildfires. PASA was proud to make
generous donations to various animal and human relief efforts for
hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, as well as for the wildfires in
Napa and Sonoma Counties in our own vicinity. We also made our
annual donation to ASHGI for Aussie research.
In 2018, our club is having an extra 3-day agility weekend
in addition to the normal 4 weekends. We are hoping to also add
conformation shows back into the schedule, and possibly a stock
trial too. We look forward to sharing fun times with each other and
our wonderful Aussies!
Prescott ASC
Sherry Butler, President, sherry.butler@outlook.com
The Prescott Australian Shepherd Club (formerly Lake Havasu
Australian Shepherd Club) is settling into Prescott, AZ.
We will have 3 ASCA agility trials in 2018: June 22-24, July
27-29 and August 17-19. All trial will be 3 full days with 6 classes

each day (2 Regular, 2 Gamblers and 2 Jumpers). We will also have
a 2 High in Trial awards at each trial, ASCA Aussie and ASCA Q
Tracking number dog. The award will be a director chair and large
rosette.
Our website is prescottasc.org.
We look forward to seeing you in Prescott!
Tri-County AS Working Association
Ann McCabe, Affiliate Representative, starryskyaussies@gmail.

Greetings from Southern California! The Tri-County
Australian Shepherd Working Association (TCASWA) had
another great year filled with trials, trials and more trials!
Our first trials of the year were our Obedience and Rally trials
on January 14th and 15th 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 we
were happy to welcome Jill Perry as our judge.
Our annual Valentine’s agility trial was held at Diamond Dogs
K9 Events in Chino with judge Pam Smith. She gave a Gamblers
clinic on the Friday before the trial and it was a big success. Fun
courses, fun judge and great weather.
On May 6th and 7th, we hosted our Two Fur Stockdog Trials
at Diamond Dogs K9 Events in Chino. It was our first time doing
a stockdog trial at this location and it was a success. Compliments
from both competitors and our judges, Preston Kissman and Marti
Parrish. We offered all three stock runs twice each day.
We joined Ocean View ASC again and held Obedience and
Rally trials in conjunction with conformation on June 3rd and 4th
at Ernie Howlett Park in Rancho Palos Verde. Our judges, Curt
Uritz and Barbara Arine were encouraging and a joy to work with.
We finished the year with an Agility trial in Chino in September
with Jeff Hayes judging. A great warm-up for Nationals.
Many of our members travelled to Texas for the ASCA
National Speciality in October. TCASWA once again sponsored
classes and donated the very popular gift card to the ASHGI raffle.
We are excited for the coming show year. Many shows are
already in the works. Obedience and Rally on January 27th and
28th in Norco (which filled in days), Agility on February 10th
and 11th in Chino and Stock in May. Visit our website at www.
tricountyaussies.com to get the latest information on trials and
events throughout the year. We always welcome new members
and hope to see you at a trial soon!
Western AS Obedience Club
Woujie Mailer, Affiliate Represenative, wrenwom2@yahoo.com
Greetings from Northern California!
It has been a very fruitful year for WASOC. Our members
have worked extremely hard and our club has been very successful.
When WASOC was formed we encouraged membership from all
who are interested in the performance venues that ASCA offers.
Consequently many of our members have breeds other than Aussies.
We welcome all who want to compete in ASCA to be part of our
club.
This year WASOC would like to congratulate our first OTCH
winner, Nolene Byars and her Golden, Rocky. Her other Golden,
Dusty, earned tiles in another registry. Way to go, Nolene!
Affiliate News
We also would like to mention how proud we are of Rick
Anderson whose 2 Aussies had a fabulous year, with RaineDance
Designer Genes completing 4 titles – CDX; RNX; RAX; JSN; and
ranking # 1 in Rally Novice and # 2 in Obedience Novice. Not to be
outdone, his other Aussie RaineDance Kiss of Royalty, completed
7titles – CD; RNX; RSE; JSE; GSE; STDds.
Many members completed titles in ASCA this year: Debbie
Voelker and her Aussie, Secoya of Granada, earned her ASCA
CDX and her other Aussie, TriStar Cimarron of Granada, earned
his ASCA BN, in addition to RN in another registry. Martha Ho
and her Aussie, Tian Ma, earned her ASCA UD and RE in another
registry. Geri Perez and her Mini Schnauzer, Beau, earned his
RNX in ASCA and 9 titles from another registry. Ailene Parenasan
and her two Aussies, Peacmakers Joy Ride and Little Spots High
Roller, earned their RN and Rally Masters, respectively, in 2017,
in addition to 2 other titles from other registries.
WASOC also put on 6 Obedience and 6 Rally events plus 3
educational events. Whew, we have been busy and thanks to all of
our members who worked very hard to make this year so productive.
We look forward to another great year in 2018!!
Wasatch Working ASC
Ann Smyth, Affiliate Representative, aesmyth910@aol.com
Hello again from Salt Lake City. We are pleased say that we
are still here and doing well. Our club activities this past year
included 8 Obedience and Rally Shows and 6 Agility Trials. Our
Event Coordinators do such a fine job putting these events together.
They are Betsy Coleman – Obedience, Sharon Opfermann – Rally,
and Linda Hahn – Agility. Many thanks go to them and all their
hard work.
Each year we have had an Advenchair Competition in Agility.
The requirements are (1) to participate in all three Agility Trials
that the club hosts that year and (2) to have the most number of
combined Q’s from all three trials. There is an award for the Aussie
with the most Q’s and an award for the Other Breed with the most
Q’s. We award the camp chair with their name, the dog’s name and
the year on it and a very nice ribbon to the winners. This year’s
winner with the Aussie, Tarzan, and Other Breed, Moby, is Astrid
Smith who owns both dogs. Way to go, Astrid.
The Obedience award this year was a close one. The
accumulated high score in obedience for the year – that is 8 shows
– was the criteria. This year the outcome was so close that we had
a run-off. Toni Faris and Border Collie Azia and Betsy Coleman
and Aspen, her Aussie, were tied when the scores were added up.
The tie-breaker was a heeling demonstration and the judge broke
the tie when she saw one had an advantage over the other. Betsy
and Aspen won! We certainly have a good group of Obedience
dogs and very good trainers.
Again, many thanks to Phil and Linda Hahn for the use of
The Hahn Homestead. It is where we train and hold many of our
competitions. It takes a lot of work to put on trials and shows, to
make the grounds look amazing, keep the barn in good shape,
and provide heat in the winter and cooling air conditioners in the
summer. Thank you, Phil and Linda. And, once again many thanks
go to our club members. Without your help and support our events
would not be happening.

86 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018

Q&A
Do These Genes Fit?
How prevalent is Cushing’s Disease in
Aussies? My first Aussie was diagnosed
with lab work and ultrasound. A few years
later I had another Aussie diagnosed.
Now my present girl has been diagnosed!
Are we are seeing more Cushing’s in
Australian Shepherds because they are
so popular?
An increase in population can be
accompanied by an increase in cases of
any inherited disease simply because there
are more dogs now than then. A decade
or so ago the breed was ranked in the 30s
for numbers of AKC registrations. This
last year, as I recall, it was 15th. That’s
a huge increase and you would expect
to see more of everything, whether good
or bad, because of it. For example, there
are probably a whole bunch more merle
Aussies now than a decade ago simply due
to increased population.
That said, Cushing’s is probably an
under-recognized disease. It comes on in
older dogs and people tend to shrug off
things that occur in old age as something
that just happens to the old without
realizing there may be a genetic component.
Cushing’s can be inherited but may also
be secondary to a pituitary tumor. It’s hard
to say which cases are due to inherited
risk without thorough diagnosis and data
showing a familial pattern. Were your dogs
related? If so, it might be a hereditary issue.
Does a tri to tri breeding dilute/negate
the merleing gene for offspring? I would
be interested in a black tri to black tri
breeding but don’t want to lose anything
going forward.
Genes don’t “dilute” each other,
though they do sometimes interact in ways
that interfere with each other’s actions. The
merle gene does this with the gene that
determines black/liver by altering pigment
production in some, but not all, areas of the
body causing the patchy color pattern we

love so well. But these are two separate
genes and every dog has two copies of each.
What color it is will depended on what
versions of each gene the dog happened to
inherit from its parents. It is possible there
may also be epigenetic effects on coat color
genes – things that control gene function
that are not genes themselves though they
can sometimes be inherited. Science is only
just beginning to sort those out. However,

one reason we see such variety in merle
patterns is due to an element within the
gene itself.
You can breed non-merle to non-merle
for a dozen generations if you want. It
doesn’t matter whether they are tri, bi, or
solid black or liver as tan points and white
markings come from other genes. You’ll
always get non-merles from these crosses
but as soon as you decide you want to see
some merle, all you have to do is breed to
a merle.
One final note – it is possible to get an
all non-merle litter from one or even two
merle parents simply as a matter of random
chance. It doesn’t happen often in litters

of average size for an Aussie but once in a
while it will.
Let’s say there is a dog three years old and
it has developed a cataract (which kind
exactly I don’t know or if it is possible
to tell the types apart). His test says he
is a carrier of one copy of Hereditary
Cataracts. He has a son who is three
months old who does not carry a copy.
So . . . do I take the risk and get that pup,
wait for a long time to see if he develops
a cataract and then breed carefully to
females with no known close up family
history of cataracts or do I not get him
at all?
First of all, there are no “carriers” for
the HSF4 hereditary cataract gene. The
mutation is dominant so if the dog has one
copy and has cataracts it is almost certainly
an HSF4 cataract. The tricky thing about
this gene is that it also has incomplete
penetrance – meaning that having the
mutation (one or two copies) puts the dog
at risk for cataracts but does not mean it
will have cataracts. Many don’t – about a
quarter of the breed has at least one copy
of this and only about 4 percent get of the
breed gets hereditary cataracts, not all of
which are due to HSF4. But in this case, if
the puppy has two normal copies it will not
get HSF4 cataracts nor, if bred, can it pass
anything to its puppies that would make
them have HSF4 cataracts.
On types of cataracts – a veterinary
ophthalmologist will note where in the lens
(front, back, inside, or around the rim) the
cataract is located. However, they can’t tell
what specific gene may be causing them by
looking. In Aussies the typical inherited
cataracts (HSF4 or not) are posterior (back
side of the lens) and cortical (outer layer of
the lens) though they can advance over time
to involve the entire lens.
Question for you: Can MDR1, CEA,
PRA, HSF4 tests be done from frozen
semen?
From a technical standpoint,
yes. However, these tests are done by
commercial labs that are set up to use
specific sample types. hey may or may
not accept something different and there
may be an additional charge for special
processing. Check with the lab you plan to
use before you proceed.
Given the prevalence of epilepsy in the
show lines, is it reasonable to conclude
that some Flintridge dogs and dogs from
88 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018
Q&A
the early off-shoot kennels contributed to
our current difficulty?
If you believe epilepsy does not
occur in some working lines, too, you
are misinformed. The fact that the great
majority of the breed today is or is
descended from show line dogs may give
the appearance that there is more epilepsy
in those lines, but without better data than
we have right now we can’t say epilepsy in
show line dogs is proportionately higher.
Figuring out the source (or more
likely sources) of epilepsy at this late
date is problematic. We have very little
information about early epilepsy producers.
The Flintridge kennel of the 1960s-70s
was a highly significant influence on the
development of all the show lines today.
We don’t know whether any of them carried
genes for epilepsy, and even if they did,
what can we do about that half a century
after the fact?
I think that many people today are
unaware that the Flintridge dogs were
related to founding dogs for our working
lines. Three major branches of our
breed’s family tree sprouted in Colorado:
Flintridge, Woods, and Las Rocosa. They
share portions of their ancestry, largely
through Sisler’s Shorty, who contributed
to Flintridge and Woods, and Harpers Old
Smokey, who contributed to Flintridge and
Las Rocosa. Even today the descendant
lines share at least some genetic inheritance
and some of that may possibly include
epilepsy genes. Neither of these dogs is,
to my knowledge, known to have produced
epilepsy. The disease is the most common
canine neurological disease and the various
genes for it may have come from a variety
of sources. In view of all this, we are
unlikely ever to know exactly where it came
from.
I’ve been doing pedigree research using
several on-line databases in Europe and
here in the U.S. Some of them give a COI
and I’ve noticed they aren’t all the same
and ASHGI’s is often higher. Shouldn’t
they all have the same COI for a particular
dog?
If they were all using identical
databases they would, assuming that
the programming algorithms that do the
calculation were of equivalent quality.
Differences may be due to the number of
generations used for the calculation (fewer
generations, lower numbers). However, in
most cases differences will be due to the
pedigree database – which dogs are or are
not included.
Coefficients of Inbreeding (COIs) for
dogs on European kennel or breed club
sites are sometimes calculated only on the
portion of a pedigree that is found within that
entity’s studbook. Since Aussies didn’t start
moving to Europe in significant numbers
until the 1990s, European studbooks lack
the depth of pedigree necessary for a
precise calculation – ideally 10 generations.
If the calculation was from a private (non
studbook) database the result depends on
how deep and complete that database is.
ASHGI’s database contains over 100K
dogs, including many early pedigrees. As
a result it’s COIs are apt to be higher than
those calculated on smaller databases or
mostly recent data.
I was wondering about the prevalence of
genetic heart disease in our breed. I had a
puppy in my last litter that was diagnosed
by a cardiologist with mild Ventricular
Septal Defect. The cardiologist told me
it is polygenic but that he rarely sees
it in Aussies. Since then the defect has
closed and the dog now has normal heart
function. What is the risk of producing
another puppy with this if I repeat the
breeding? Is it safe to breed this pup since
he’s okay now? How common are heart
issues in the Aussie and are we seeing a
change in trend?
Fortunately, heart issues of any kind
are relatively rare in Aussies. What we see
most often in puppies and young dogs are
developmental heart vessel defects (patent
ductus arteriosus or persistent right aortic
arch). This septal defect may or may not
be inherited. Lacking any family history
for this particular disease it’s hard to say
for sure. Therefore it is also hard to say
whether this will or will not happen again.
But, to err on the side of caution since
this is a defect potentially more serious than
appears to be the case with this particular
pup, I would assume it is inherited and not
repeat that cross or do anything very similar
to it, like breeding the dam to a near relative
of the sire or breeding her back on her own
pedigree. Doing so could double-up on
causative genes.
If this is inherited the pup with the
resolved defect must carry a complete
load of genes for it. You don’t want to
perpetuate that so breeding it isn’t a good
option. Better to select a littermate of
similar quality and breed it away from its
pedigree and avoid potential mates who
have a family history of this defect.

I was sitting near some people at a show
and heard them talking about PHA
testing. I’m new to this breed – what is this
and is it something I need to do?
PHA is Pelger-Huet Anomaly. It is
rarely a health issue for a dog that is PHApositive
but can result in smaller litter size
if two PHA-positive dogs are bred together.
Some basic info about PHA can be found
here: http://www.ashgi.org/home-page/
genetics-info/heart-and-blood/pelger-huetanomaly
You don’t need to screen everything,
only breeding dog dogs you suspect may
be PHA-positive and the offspring of
individuals whom you know to be. Ask
the people you got your dogs from if you
Q&A
need to do a screening. If you do, it only
requires a blood smear on a slide. However,
the slide needs to be read by a veterinary
pathologist. Commercial veterinary testing
labs generally do not offer this service. Vet
pathologists can be found at vet schools and
sometimes in private practice in large urban
areas.
What are the three hereditary diseases
most frequently found in Aussies?
By far the most common genetic defect
is the MDR1 mutation – half of Aussies
have at least one copy. The percentage may
be lower in Europe now since the breeding
of M/M dogs has banned in many places
for several years. (No, I’m not advocating
breeding bans, just stating a fact.)
For things we more typically think of as
diseases, ASHGI’s 2009-10 health survey
indicated that moderate to severe allergies,
hip dysplasia, and thyroid disease were
most common. Of things that really worry
people, hemangiosarcoma and epilepsy
are both very common. Lymphoma is also
common but not nearly so much as these
other things.
ASHGI is currently analyzing the data
from its longevity survey and will issue a
report once that is done. While it won’t
indicate disease frequency it will give some
insight into what kinds of things our dogs
are most likely to die from – not all of which
will be hereditary, of course.

ARPH Update
Aussie Rescue & Placement Helpline
Robin Lee • flyrobinfly@blarg.net
Rescue RX
[With all the recent natural disasters ranging from fires to
hurricanes, this article from the Jan/Feb 2016 Times offers a good
reminder of what we might wish to keep on hand for our dogs’
first aid needs. For emergency preparedness and survival kits,
consider having several days worth of your dogs’ food, as well as
enough water for both people and pets. Extra tags, leashes, and
medications are also wise to have. A detailed checklist can be found
here: https://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/resources/disaster-prep-petemergency-checklist.pdf]
In rescue, we often have unfamiliar dogs in the household as
part of fostering or other activities such as a transport stop.
While volunteers always strive to be extra careful when
introducing a new Aussie to their homes, these dogs have
unknown habits and it is possible for them to get into trouble,
particularly of the edible kind.
Recently a friend’s dog (not an Aussie) helped herself to a
pack of sugarless gum that a guest left out in the house, and had to
be rushed to the vet for possible xylitol poisoning, which is acute
and potentially lethal in canines. This resulted in an overnight
hospital stay on IV fluids and additional tests later on to monitor
liver function. Xylitol is a popular sugar substitute that is most often
consumed by dogs in sugarless gum and candies, but also can be
found in other foods as well as toothpaste and children’s chewable
vitamins, among other things. It is appearing more frequently in
peanut butters, so owners should check their jars before filling that
Kong or smearing it on a treat for their dogs.
Xylitol is quite toxic to dogs, some sources say it’s 100
times more lethal than chocolate. Dogs that eat items containing
xylitol greater than 100 milligrams per kilogram of bodyweight
(or 50 milligrams per pound) can have life threatening levels of
hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. Loss of coordination, collapse
and seizure can occur in as few as 30 minutes. Greater doses of
xylitol can cause liver failure and death. According to one article
I found, xylitol in dogs is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream
and triggers a rapid release of insulin from the pancreas, causing a
tremendous drop in blood sugar within minutes of ingestion. This
profound insulin release does not occur in humans, although there
is evidence that xylitol might be toxic to other non-primate species
as well.
Symptoms of xylitol poisoning might include vomiting,
weakness, lack of coordination, seizures and/or coma. If you
suspect your dog may have consumed something with xylitol,
immediately contact your vet and/or the Pet Poison Helpline
at 800-213-6680, as treatment must be urgent and fast. The Pet
Poison Helpline is available 24 hours, seven days a week in North
America. Further information can be found on their website at
www.petpoisonhelpline.com.
People can protect dogs, both their own and any fosters, by
ensuring any products containing xylitol (as with all potentially
dangerous substances) are stored safely out of reach and by
checking ingredients before sharing any food with them. Use only
dog safe toothpaste, not human toothpaste, and try to warn any
guests in the home against leaving out things like gum or mints.
Aussie owners know they must always stay several steps ahead
of their very clever dogs, and the old saying about an ounce of
prevention being worth a pound of cure is highly applicable in this
situation.
Although never a substitute for professional veterinary care,
it is helpful to have a medical kit on hand. ARPH’s Training
Committee assembled this list of useful supplies for anyone with
dogs in the home; individual owners can add or delete items as
suits their particular situation. These first aid supplies are meant to
treat minor issues such as scrapes or small cuts, or to get the dog
through until a vet can be reached for treatment.
• Disposable booties (for the dog’s paws)
• Liquid bandage
• Non-stick gauze pads
• Gauze
• First aid tape for sensitive skin (doesn’t stick as much)
• Vet wraps (2” and 4”)
• Instant cold pack
• Itch wipes
• Eye wash
• Neosporin
• Vetericyn hot spot spray (can be used to clean wounds, cuts, etc.)
• Hydrogen peroxide

Finally, Finals!
Thomas Morarre • Lolo, Montana
It comes down to . . .
training and miles
The 2018 Finals now seems a long time ago, but I am still
processing the experience. Like many competitors I am
going over in my mind some ways that my performance
could have been better and also ways to ensure that my
future performance might be improved. In the end, it seems to
come down to training and miles. Nothing new in that realization.
But just what sort of training is required to be successful? Here are
a few basic things that I find are important when preparing your
Finals dog, or any dog, to get the job done.
1. Communication. Without good communication between you
and your dog, it is unlikely that you can be successful at any
task. Good communication is not unidirectional. It is not
enough for your dog to understand what you want him/her to
accomplish, although that is essential. In addition, you have
to understand what your dog is telling you about the situation
at hand. We often tend to overlook the latter.
2. Patience. You have to have patience with your dog – especially
in training. All of us have seen our dogs exhibit unexpected
behavior and wracked our brains to figure out why this is
happening. Take the time to analyze these situations thoroughly
and figure out just what is really going on between you, the dog,
and the stock. The answer will sometime be a total surprise.
Your dog has to have patience with the stock as well. A
good run results when the dog understands the stock and reacts
to it properly. We often refer to this as rate, but it really goes
beyond rate. When I watch the best runs, the dog seems to
have a sense of what the stock wants to do and also the sense
to control the stock in such a way that the stock is convinced
that the best path is the one the dog is directing it toward.
Different dogs accomplish this in different ways. There is no
formula that works for all dogs. You have to discover how your
dog can accomplish this with the skill set they have and then

work to set things up so that your dog has the best chance to
be successful.
3. Good conditioning, both mental and physical. Without good
health and physical condition one is working at a disadvantage.
Most of our dogs are healthy and in their prime when we go to
Finals, but there are some older dogs who may need additional
attention to make sure they will be up to the trialing schedule
of a weeklong event. And this can be tough for dogs of any
age. Don’t expect them (or yourself, for that matter) to be able
to do their best if you have not prepared for the mental and
physical demands such an event requires.
4. Practice. We all practice a lot to get to Finals. But remember
to practice effectively. Only perfect practice makes perfect
is an old saw, but it is still applicable to what we do in our
training regimen. Other important things to incorporate in one’s
practice sessions are fairness and consistency. Dogs do best
when they fully understand what you want from them and that
understanding is best achieved when we are consistent in our
commands and our corrections. It is also essential to (try to)
keep our emotions in check. Our Aussies’ ability to read our
emotional state is highly developed and means more to them
than our verbal signals. Next time your dog does something
otherwise unexplainable; ask yourself if this behavior just
might be in response to non-verbal signals you are sending.
5. Do the math. I have heard people suggest treating Nationals
and Finals just like any other trial. I suppose that is the case
if you are trying to avoid being over-anxious before your run,
but Finals is not just like any other trial, at least not in the
scoring. Here are some things to keep in mind about the format
of Finals. In the first two rounds, one bad run can kill your
chance of making it into the top half of the competitors. A JCT
is certain to do that. So one might want to take a conservative
approach during the first two runs. Earn all of the points you
can, but don’t be greedy. All too often that results in points
94 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018
lost. Both of these runs are critical to your success,
but good scores in the first two rounds don’t guarantee
anything. Keep in mind that to reach the third round
you only have to make the top 15; you don’t need to
be first at the end of the first two rounds.
The third round is the most important one.
Experienced Finalists probably know this, but others
may not realize the effect the third round runs have on
the outcome. The third round is judged by six judges
instead of two. Once the highest and lowest scores
are thrown out, you still get four scores. That makes
the weight of the third round total equal to the totals
for the first two rounds – in other words it is half your
total score. To look at it another way, every extra point
you earn results in four more points on your total
score. Conversely, every point you lose gives you
four fewer points in your final score. So when you
see that the difference between first and second place
is 12 points, that margin really represents a difference
of 3 points per judge that can be either lost or won
in the third go round. After the fact, it seems like it
should be quite easy to get three or even four more
points on a run. In this scenario, every point becomes
extremely important since it actually counts as four points.
Obviously to win Finals or make the top ten, your third
run has to be good. There is no room for foolish errors or loss
of concentration in any of your runs, but that focus is twice as
important in the third round. If you look over the Finals scores from
this year you can see how the math works. It is helpful in preparing
for Finals and planning your strategy to keep in mind that the third
round in Finals is your best opportunity to move up and conversely
the one most likely to hurt you if your performance is not optimal.
You should come prepared to work the stock on the courses that
will be used in Finals, and you should be doubly prepared for the
course that will be used in the third round. Enough said.
Congratulations – This is, by now, old news, but congratulations
to the Stock Champions, Reserve Champions, and High Combined

Mystery Pups
***
With winter in full swing, the training for mystery pups has
been either slowed way down or put completely on hold. But we
do have a couple of progress reports to include in this issue.
Mystery Pup Nessa ~ Stir Crazy
I live in a portion of the country that knows winter well and it’s
here. Unfortunately, that means training has pretty much come to
a complete halt. A lot of that has to do with the day job and the
limited amount of daylight available when I get home. We still get
out there on weekends when the snow doesn’t prevent the swinging
of gates, the ground isn’t frozen into ankle-breaking mounds and
divots, and the temperatures aren’t cold enough to freeze the snot
in my nose. For several months, however, those opportunities are
few and we all start to get just a bit stir crazy.
In the meantime I’m looking forward to 2018 (which will be
here in full force by the time you’re reading this so, Happy Belated
New Year!), but I’m not going to make any big plans or put any
expectations on Nessa or me. I need to take this part of our journey
step-by-step. Too often over the past several years I’ve rushed it. I
set us up for failure instead of taking my time and making sure we
could succeed. I need to reevaluate what that success looks like,
then take it slow and steady until we find it.
Mystery Pup Dude ~ Winter Break
As seems to be a recurring theme with Dude, I found myself
stumbling again. This time I enlisted some aid to video one of my
sessions and shared it with a couple of folks. On the plus side,
every one of them told me how far Dude has come over the past
months. That’s something I don’t always recognize. When you’re
in the thick of things, it’s hard to really see the changes.
On the down side… have I mentioned my propensity to rush
my training? To jump from A to Z? To not wait for consistent,
reliable results before moving on to bigger and better things?
Yeah. That. Sigh.
Perhaps it’s a good thing winter is upon us. Maybe I need a
break from regular training so when opportunities do arise I am
forced to focus on just one thing to accomplish in our limited time.
Hopefully that will get me out of this seemingly huge rush I’m in
with Dude, and we can settle into a nice, consistent rhythm where
we can both learn and grow.

Mystery Pup Lessons To Learn
I’ve spent so much time with my now five-year-old male. Life
got in the way for about 3.5 years of it. I’ve been looking at what
trials are coming up this year and many aren’t listed consistently.
I would like to trial him late summer or fall for his first trial. Until
then, I’ll be working on more ranch type work as he prefers that
to the micromanagement I can get into when competing. I haven’t
figured out yet how to allow the dog to think through the job just
to get around obstacles. We are getting there. I guess at times he
is training me.

First Time Finalists’ Experiences
In this issue we have reports from Donna Marsh and William
D. Middleton II, two of the eight first-time finalists. Their accounts
of their first Finals experiences differ in both their outcomes and
what they took away from this experience. I found both of these
accounts to be quite interesting. Both competitors came away with
a better understanding of Finals and they provide both humble and
critically honest descriptions of what Finals meant to them and their
dogs.
DONNA MARSH AND TEX
I must say, my Finals experience exceeded my expectations
in all ways – except my performance in the arena. More on that
later. The Texas Consortium did an awesome job with the 2017
Bryan Nationals and Finals. I have no complaints about anything.
It was my first Nationals and Finals with a dog but not the first I
have attended. I saw the Stockdog Finals in Las Vegas, Waco, and
Tennessee. This was by far my favorite Nationals/Finals.
The Brazos County Fair and Expo Center was a perfect venue
for this event. Everything was under cover and all of the arenas
were close together. I never felt rushed to get to the arena for any
of my runs. All of the volunteers were very friendly and helpful
when I had questions.
I only ran ducks and sheep, but I did watch cattle runs. All of
the stock was wonderful. No complaints there at all. Kudos to those
who provided the stock. It’s not easy to have such consistent groups
across the board. That shows the work that was done to prepare
things.
I have to admit; I was a little concerned about the effect on
the stock of being run for a pre-trial and Nationals before Finals.
But, I honestly didn’t see much, if any, effect. That is a testament
to the level of training and handling of dogs/handlers at Nationals
this year.
As far as my Finals runs go, well. . .
I’m sure some people watching my Finals runs in person, on
social media, or who will see them on Miss Dana’s video, will
think my dog and I didn’t deserve to be there. The fact is, we did
deserve to be there because we qualified under the applicable rules.
Some will think we weren’t ready. The truth is, I wasted the best
years of Tex’s life waiting to be “ready” before we trialed. I finally
realized we weren’t ever going to be as ready as I wanted to be,
so we might as well go for it. And, I would encourage others to do

the same. Don’t try to meet someone else’s expectation of when
you and your dog are ready. You know when that time comes.
Well-meaning friends have tried to offer me excuses for my
performance. I just didn’t have enough trial experience. I had the
same sheep twice that wanted to fight my dog. Finals came after
Nationals. I’ve never been one to make excuses, and I’ve always
said, a Finals-level dog should be able to handle any stock that’s
set out. The truth is simple, and I own it. I let my partner down. I
hadn’t prepared him for heavy sheep or sheep that would fight him.
Worse, however, is that I didn’t trust my dog. When I opened the
take pen for the first time in Bryan and saw how young the lambs
were, I got nervous. Tex has a bit of a history of being wild in the
take pen. So, I stopped him at the top and again when he came out,
just like we had practiced with my light sheep at home. Exactly
what those Finals lambs did not need. My lack of trust took away
the push Tex needed on the sheep. Even though they were lambs,
they read my dog wouldn’t push (because I had not allowed him
to), and it was game on.
To top it off, I did some things as a handler that even I don’t
understand when I watch the video. What the heck was I thinking?
Well, to be honest, I suppose I wasn’t thinking. I wasn’t helping my
dog like I had done in training and in trials to qualify for Finals.
Tex had to be confused by my behavior and was doing the best he
could given my poor handling. He didn’t steal my phone and post
in the Nationals Facebook group seeking a new handler, and he
came home with me, so I think he forgave my blunders.

All in all, my first Finals was a wonderful experience, and
it was an honor to compete with handlers I have admired. I saw
some amazing dogs run and some amazing handlers. I believed Tex
deserved his shot in the Finals arena, and he got himself there. My
poor handling performance can’t take that away from him. I will
never forget the feeling of walking into the Stockdog Finals arena
for the first time with my first stockdog, my partner, Tex. My only
regret is letting him down.
Tex has been my teacher, and the most important lesson he
taught me in Bryan was the importance of trusting your dog. That
is a lesson I will definitely apply to my pup. And, and when the
pup is ready, we’ll make a run for Finals.
I want to encourage others to go for Finals. It seems like
Finals is often the same people year after year. The event needs
new blood. And, I’ll tell you a secret. Finals really isn’t that big
of a deal. It’s just another trial. The only pressure is that pressure
you put on yourself. Sure, the handlers you admire are there, but
if you qualify, you will be, too! And, I’ll tell you something else.
Those handlers I admire were all very nice and encouraging to me.
I even heard through the grapevine that lots of folks were rooting
for me and Tex. So, go to Finals. Test yourself and your dog. To
paraphrase Theodore Roosevelt: Get in the arena. Dare greatly, and
if you fail, at least you will not be among those cold, timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.
WILLIAM D. MIDDLETON II AND PATTON
Our first trip to an ASCA Nationals/Finals was a most
memorable one. The Texas Consortium really outdid themselves
in all aspects, from the facility, the stock, and the judges. Everyone
made us feel quite welcome, and it was fun catching up with
old friends and meeting new ones. We did realize one thing . . .
everything is truly bigger in Texas. From the baking potatoes in
the grocery store to Buc-ees, it was an eye-opening experience!
We were fortunate to get in the Pre-Trial, and used that for
training as we hadn’t really worked for three weeks. We had never
worked in an arena or on bare soil so I was apprehensive about
that, but it didn’t bother Patton in the least. The birds in the arena
also concerned me as Patton loves to chase them, but fortunately
he didn’t during any runs. Our scores reflected our performance;
we got a feel for the stock and the arena and I was happy with his
response to my commands.
We wanted to kick it up a notch in Nationals, and for the most
part we did. We had a nice sheep run with a cooperative group.
We also had a good cattle run going and had completed all the
obstacles. When we started working on the free-standing pen we
got four head penned immediately. But one slipped by and I was
sure we could get her also. It was possibly not my best decision
and we ended up losing the four. Regardless, it was a good attempt
and Patton was in control the whole run.
We completed all our runs Sunday for Nationals so we had
Monday off and we did a little sightseeing in Waco. It was a fun,
relaxing day visiting Magnolia Market and Harp Design.
Finals began bright and early Wednesday morning. We were
first in the run order on ducks. Of all stock, ducks are our weakest.
We just don’t practice on them at home, and it showed in our
performance on both runs. They were very nice ducks; we just
couldn’t do anything with them after they got to the center, on any

of the courses. Our sheep runs were respectable, as were our cattle
runs, and fortunately we moved on to the final elimination rounds
on Thursday for both sheep and cattle.
Thursday was much warmer than any of the previous days,
and neither of us like the heat. However, working in the covered
arena really eliminated heat as an issue, and we had a solid sheep
run. We both like D course, and our cattle run was also a good one.
It felt good to complete Finals on such a good note. I changed into
shorts so I could relax and wait for the other runs to finish. Late
in the day people told me there was a runoff for second and third,
and it may be us. Well, it was us, so I had to change back into
jeans, and hurry down and do another cattle run. We had another
nice run on cattle on D course. And then our first Finals was really
over, although deep down I wanted us to tie again because we were
having so much fun!
We were fortunate and qualified for the Texas Shootout with
our sheep and cattle combined scores from Finals. This was really
exciting and a lot of fun. We drew a good set of sheep and were
in great shape going to the cattle run. Or so I thought. The set of
cattle we got were not a bad group, but they did need direction. I
misjudged our time and unfortunately had time called as we were
about to pen them in the freestanding pen. My lack of experience,
particularly in this format, was evident during this run. Still a good
time, though
I’d like to thank ASCA and the Texas Consortium for a topnotch
event. I’d also like to thank Donna and Tony Padgett for
allowing us to have Patton. Also, thanks to all the trainers that have
helped us over the years. We learned something from everyone and
you all have contributed to our improvement. But most of all I’d
like to thank my partner, Kayla, who has sacrificed and supported
us for three years allowing Patton and I to grow as a team. We
couldn’t have done it without Kayla’s understanding and love!
We exceeded our expectations in Texas, and are looking forward
to Colorado. Hopefully, we’ll be up for the challenge!

Why it Still Matters . . .
One thing I have avoided doing in this column is writing
about my own dogs or doing so only in a very general
way. This week I received an e-mail from someone
who bought a puppy from me and the story he told
me illustrated so much my passion for the working Australian
Shepherds that got me into this breed in the first place. It seems
like I am constantly having to convince people that the Aussie is
still out there on real farms and ranches doing things like the dog
in this did that day. So I shared it on my personal Facebook page.
I had no idea what was going to happen next. People started
sharing it, and then I was approached by The Virginia Federation
of Dog Clubs and Breeders for permission to share my post. I was
well aware of who they are because they are always actively a voice
for us when the animal rights activists are making trouble for dog
owners through attempts at legislation and lashing out at breeders.
They are based in Virginia but involved all over the country. I was
so impressed at the way they presented it as a story that showed
the importance of purebred purpose bred dogs. Next, I found out
that another wonderful group had picked up the story from them.
They had put a perfect headline on it: “Why it Still Matters.”
Awesome! It does still matter that dogs are bred to herd or hunt
or guard or to search and save lives!
In the meantime, this year-old ranch dog named Jimmy has had
his story go viral. I am sharing it here with those of you who share
the love of “purpose-bred dogs,” namely Australian Shepherds.
This is from the group National Purebred Dog Day who shared
it from VFDCB.
***
Why it Still Matters
January 12, 2018 National Purebred Dog Day®
We share this with consent from the Virginia Federation of
Dog Clubs and Breeders (VFDCB), a marvelous anecdote of why
breeding purpose bred purebred dogs still matters:
VFDCB said
1-12-18: Just a reminder of why we are all here. This is a post from
Terry Martin, who lives in Texas, and has been breeding working
Australian Shepherds for 5 decades. This story about “Jimmy”
exemplifies what purpose-bred dogs are all about. It also reminds
us that breeding programs like this do not happen overnight. And
once a program is destroyed – it is gone forever. That is why we –
The Virginia Federation of Dog Clubs and Breeders, and hundreds
more organizations and people like us- fight so hard to preserve
purpose-bred dogs. No stray off the streets off Kuwait, Egypt,
Turkey, Thailand, Peru, Korea – just to name a few places people
are bringing dogs from into Virginia and the US – can ever hope
to do what purpose-bred dogs do.
The rest of the text is below:
I got an e-mail this morning from Doug and Jennifer Putnam.
[edited slightly to keep my dogs’ names out of the story] – TM
“Good morning, Terry,
Burr, it’s cold today in Kansas. Almost blizzard like. Just
wanted to drop you a note and the on-going saga of Jimmy, the
wonder dog.
Today my daughter and I looked out and saw one of our good
coming two-year geldings stuck in the middle of the pond. We had
three days of 50-degree weather which melted the ice. But last night
the weather changed and it dropped 32 degrees within three hours.
The gelding wandered out on the new ice and went through getting
stuck with ice surrounding him. Jimmy and I went down to see how
we would get him out. Obviously, he had been in the water for a
few hours. I thought I would have to either rope him with a horse

the little donkey it struck me that he had
done this before. How he “knew” to
go around and force the horse to break
through the ice and go to shore can only
be attributed to his instinct to move the
horse and probably his limited experience
moving cattle. Aussies that can “think for
themselves” have many times saved the
day for ranchers and farmers.
Finding the calf in the snow is a story I
have heard before and experienced when
living in Colorado. It’s another part of
natural working with a human partner and
some inner knowledge that one head of
stock off by itself is not supposed to be
there. Whatever combination of instinct
and realization played a part in this story,
I am glad so many people have had the
opportunity to read it and wanted to share
it here.
and drag him out, or worse, pull him out with a tractor across the
sharp ice. As I was leaving to go back to the barns to get equipment I
turned to see ‘Jimmy’ crossing the ice and walking up to the gelding.
Unbelievably he went and licked the gelding’s face then went to his
rear and bit him driving him through shallow ice following him on
paper thin ice. So unbelievable if you didn’t actually witness it! He
drove him into the corral and we took him inside a box stall. Then
we went to feed the pen horses and cows. The snow and sleet were
driving so hard it was tough to see. I noticed I had a little angus
calf missing. Jimmy and I went looking for it. Then Jimmy took off.
I could just barely see through the sleet and snow as the dog ran
down to the creek. Pretty soon I saw a black blur and then Jimmy.
He found the calf nestled in the creek. Obviously Jimmy put the
calf back into the pen with her mother.
~Doug Putnam
After I realized this story was being shared all over Facebook
and that two serious organizations promoting purebred dogs felt it
was worth sharing, I heard from Maria Russell, who is Doug’s wife,
Jennifer’s mother. She is obviously a very good photographer and
sent me photos of Jimmy and her granddaughter with permission
to use them. She also sent them to the VFDCB to use on their post.
I want to share them with you also. I found it rewarding that this
was shared with many people who do not have Aussies or a ranch
or a farm, but they can enjoy reading the adventures of a man and
his dog, a horse, and a calf – in a snowstorm.
I had several people ask me how this young dog would know
to do these things on his own. I cannot get inside a dog’s mind, but
I can speculate. The dog is, as the VFDCB stated, is a purpose-bred
dog. But he is also a partner with his owner and is comfortable
with the place and the livestock, and has moved cattle. Dogs sense
stress and fear from both people and other animals. Jimmy had to
know his master was upset and no doubt the horse in the water
was extremely stressed. Why he ventured out there and licked
the horse’s nose is anyone’s guess. I have seen dogs do that with
horses and cattle both so it probably is some sort of communication
that we do not understand. When I saw the photo of Jimmy and

2017 Nationals Tracking Trial Successful
Despite Houston Floods
The year 2017 was the first year that a Tracking Dog Urban
(TDU) test track was offered at the ASCA National
Specialty Tracking Trial, and the dog who ran it passed
the test: Istari Mystic Warrior TD TDU, “Mister,” with
handler Darla Huffman of Wartrace, Tennessee. Two TD dogs
also passed to earn their titles: Cut’N Loose Harley Tucker TD,
“Harley,” with handler Jacqueline Tinker of Fort Worth, Texas,
and My Montana Sky TD, “Monte,” with handler Jane Trude of
Westcliffe, Colorado.

Jan Wesen, the ASCA Nationals 2017 Tracking Trial Chair and
Secretary, has been strongly supportive of Tracking for many
years. She served as Test Chair for the Nationals Tracking Trial
in Longview, WA, September 1999, and she has regularly hosted
tracking trials at her ranch in Bow, WA. She served on the ASCA
Tracking Committee for many years; then, during her term as
an ASCA BOD member, she was the BOD liaison for the ASCA
Tracking Committee; now she has rejoined the Tracking Committee.
Jan is a tracking judge. Follwoing is her description of preparations
for the trial, including arrangements to use alternative tracking
test sites when her first choice fields were flooded:
“I was the 2017 Nationals Chair and Secretary for the Tracking
Trial. The tracking judges that I chose were from the Houston,
Texas, area and were hired 1½ years in advance of the event. The
favored tracking test site in the Houston area is Bush Houston Park.
Ray Fryer went to Houston Bush Park on January 1 st to stand in line
for a lottery to reserve the facility for our test dates. I determined
that it is much easier to host a tracking test near home versus across
the United States!

Tracking Field Notes
“I met members of the Southwest Tracking Association, a
club that loves the sport of Tracking. This club helped to secure a
suitable site for the tracking trial. In April, Kathy Daniels of the
Southwest Association gave me a tour of Bush Houston Park. It
was perfect for the tracking trial and I was happy with the facility.
I remembered the flood a few years back and as a result, I started
looking for an additional site. n April, Donna Doubler introduced
me to Ken Pruitt at Carolina Ranch, and I was able to tour the
facility. I felt better knowing that we had a backup facility. The
judge assured me that we would not need it. Well, we now know
that the Houston 2017 great flood meant that Bush Houston Park
was under water for our trial. I reconnected with Kim and began
reorganizing the judges’ hotels and food, and worker and exhibitor
instructions to move the Tracking Trial to Carolina Ranch, with the
TDU track plotted at Central Point Elementary School.
"Thankfully, I had backup facilities for the Texas Nationals!
The local support that we had was invaluable to hosting a successful
tracking trial. We had seven ASCA members and five Southwest
Tracking Association members to support the tracking trial.
Tracklayers for the passing tracks were: Pat Sayles for the TDU
and TD #3 and Sally Elkins for TD #5. The TDU was the first to
be offered at an ASCA Nationals, and the pass was the first TDU
pass at a Nationals. The trial offered one TDU Test track, five TD
Test tracks, and one TDX Test track. Two TD teams passed on their
tracks.
“I think the best comment of the day was when someone came
up and said, ‘there were more workers than exhibitors,’ and I said,
‘that is what makes a great event.’”

Darla Huffman “gives back” to the sport, too. She served as Test
Chair and Test Secretary for the 2015 Mid-South ASC-sponsored
ASCA National Specialty Tracking Trial in Tennessee. (See her
report in “Tracking Field Notes” column, the Aussie Times,
March/April 2016 issue.) She is a tracking judge. Her essay
describes her introduction to the Australian Shepherd breed, how
she developed an interest in Tracking,and her experiences training
handling Mister in Urban Tracking, and handling him to a pass in
the Nationals TDU test:
“My husband Roger and I attended an ASCA trial in the early
’90s in Bryan, Texas. Glenda Teaff judged my Siberian Husky,

puppies because they were too young to leave at home.
“Glenda and I hit it off like we’d known each other for years.
She took us to see the litter; Roger and I fell in love with them.
Rocky was very intrigued with one puppy, as well as the puppy with
Rocky. Roger said, “That’s the one!” – our first of many Aussies:
“Choctaw George’s Archie Boy” (Quatro K’s Rustlin” George x
Quatro K’s Semego Divi Blu).
“We’ve had several different breeds of dogs and we’ve loved
each one very much (English Setter, Gordon Setter, Shetland

Istari Mystic Warrior,
“Mister” (Misty Ridge
Spur of W Lazy J x Istari
Laurelin by Fourmile),
was bred by Andrea
Hoffmann. Mister is my
first Aussie that showed
tracking interest. It’s
what he truly loves to
do. He also has earned
his CD, RN, TD and has
one leg toward his STDs
title. Also, he’s earned
his AKC CD, RN, TDX, and he’s training/trialing in Variable
Surface Tracking (VST).
“Mister is a love bug, and he always is ready to jump in the
van and go anywhere.
“In the mid-’80s we owned an English Springer Spaniel,
“Brandy.” Roger put an AKC CD title on her. We found out while
training in Open that she couldn’t jump over 12 inches. X-rays
showed that she was dysplastic. I couldn’t just let her become a
“backyard dog.” Brandy wanted so much to do something. So I
stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new. I’d never
heard of Tracking! She and I went on to earn her AKC TDX.
“Through my tracking experience I’ve learned many things.
Most of all, I’ve learned that once your dog understands what
he needs to do, don’t keep making him do full tracks. Work
components – making them interesting – and don’t be afraid to
back up in his training.
“Mister and I had a fantastic time at the ASCA Nationals
Tracking Test! Everyone was very friendly and supportive of others.
The tests ran smoothly, thanks to all the workers, exhibitors and
both judges, Kathleen Milford and Charlene Dunn. Both sites were
absolutely perfect.
“I’ve been training Mister for his AKC VST for about a year.
This type of training works close to buildings, across many different
surfaces, and also turns on hard surfaces and among pedestrians.
“While handling Mister on his TDU track, I understood his
language without question. One exciting moment that sticks out in
my mind is when Mister approached an elevated playground at the
school. The playground had railroad ties enclosing it with gravel
inside along with the play equipment. The wind was coming behind
us. He tracked right up to the RR ties and scented on the other side.
Then he would scent back and forth along the outside of the ties.
Mister did this about three times. Since the wind was coming from
behind, the scent was being pushed along the outside and well as a
bit over the obstacle. He proceeded ahead about 30-40 yards, and
there it was – you guessed it – “THE GLOVE!”
“My goal for Mister in an ASCA MT (Master Tracker) title,
but living in Tennessee, there are hardly any ASCA clubs that offer
tracking tests. I also want Mister to earn his VST in AKC, which
will give him his CT (Champion Tracker). To achieve this title,
your dog has to have earned a TD/TDU, a TDX and a VST.”

Harley TD and Jacqueline Tinker with Tracking Judges Charlene Dunn
and Kathlene Milford.
“My mentor and dear friend Dana Mackenzie gave me my
first Aussie when I was 14 years old. She taught me about dogs
and training. My first love has always been stock dog training. I
was the first Junior handler to WTCH an Aussie back in 1990.
Unfortunately, life doesn’t always go the way you plan it. I left
competition when I went off to college, and then life took me further
away from competing for over 20 years. I kept an Aussie all those
years but didn’t have time to train and compete. Now that my life
is mine again, I have jumped into training with both feet!

perfect match for me. She approaches everything with enthusiasm
and vigor! We were lucky to find a great group of people to train
with. We now have friends that meet up every weekend and train
all over the place! We started classes when Harley was about a year
old.
“Harley took to tracking and soared through the beginner class.
After the first six weeks we registered for the next session, but it
was full. Sadly, I thought I wasn’t going to be able to track again
until fall, when the next set of classers rolled around. I expressed
my disappointment and someone in the club let me join a secret
group where the advanced tracking dogs and handlers met every
weekend to track together.
“In the beginner class, we were still using food to track. The
first time we met with the advanced group, they didn’t put food
on the track. Harley started her track strongly and then realized
there was no food. She stopped and looked at me, and with her
ever-expressive face telegraphed the very clear message, “Pssst…
I think someone forgot to put treats on the track.” I encouraged her
to keep going. A few minutes later, she stopped and insisted, “There
is no food on this track!” What was on her mind was so clear! She
made it through her first track without food, nevertheless.
“I later told the instructor that she had never tracked foodless
before, thinking I would get sympathy – and food on the track the
next time. No such luck. The instructor had no sympathy. She was
impressed and declared that Harley needed food no longer. That
day, I made the transition to throwing balls at the end of the track!
And we haven’t looked back. Harley’s new reward is at the end of
the track. She carries the glove around and we play tug with it, then
she plays ball with me and all of our tracking friends. After that
we were fast members of the group and hardly missed a weekend
tracking for a whole year! Getting up at 5:00 a.m. on Saturday
morning is sometimes hard, but the rewards are great. We tracked
all summer with our eye on running at Nationals.
“With Nationals looming and the deadline to get certification
approaching quickly, Harley started to struggle. She started missing
turns and getting stressed on the tracks. I was getting concerned.
We had been training for almost seven months and I really wanted
to certify before Nationals. We went back to shorter tracks and
marking the turns and eventually putting articles just after the
turns to pull her around. We tried our first certification test and
Tracking Field Notes
didn’t make it past the 30-yard flag. The second attempt didn’t go
much better. Three time lucky, I guess, because we passed our third
certification attempt – barely.
“I sent my Nationals entry in and went back to work. Just two
weeks from Nationals, Harley was getting better, but still struggling
with accuracy on turns. The day of the Nationals test found me
calm, but not too sure what was going to happen on that track. It
had been hit or miss all summer. The wind was blowing like crazy,
and it was chilly.
“Fortunately for us, it is windy all the time in North Texas, so
we had plenty of experience tracking in the wind. We drew the
third TD track, and Harley started out normally. She took a whiff of
the start article and proceeded to throw herself on the ground and
roll around. She rolls a lot. It is part of her process. She hopped up
and started tracking. I thought I had a pretty good idea of where the
track was going to go. There was a fence to my right and a road to
my left. I thought we had a long first leg, but Harley turned right
much sooner than I anticipated. I fought her. I didn’t think it was
right. The fence seemed too close for a turn right there. But she
insisted. I pulled her back and gave a drink and re-scented her. She
pulled to the right again. She was insisting and pulling and pulling.
I heard my instructor’s voice in my head, “Trust your dog!” So I
took a deep breath and thought to myself, “If we get whistled, we
get whistled.” I let her go and turned right. Guess what? She was
right. I kept waiting for the whistle but never heard it. She pulled
strong and stayed on track the rest of the way. I fell in step and let
her lead. She was on! Her energy was high and she was tracking
better than I had ever seen her track. When we found that article,
it was the most thrilling moment of the year. Her tracking has been
strong and confident ever since.
“What I love about tracking is how much of it is based on a
relationship with the dog. The dog is the leader, and I have had to
learn to trust my dog and to follow my dog. For us, that was – and
still is – quite a challenge. Harley has very strong opinions, and in
the stock arena she and I disagree often. I think she loves the fact
that once that tracking harness is on and the long line attached,
she gets to take the lead. Her favorite part is where she can pull on
the lead all she wants. You see, with her type A+ personality, she
doesn’t walk on a leash very well. She loves being in charge!
“I have learned as much or more than Harley has in the past
year. I have learned to trust her nose and to read her body language.
I have learned to be patient and to stop walking and to wait for
Harley to figure out the tough stuff. I have learned that standing
around waiting for tracks to age is fun when you have great friends
to track with and talk.
“Tracking changed us. We still have high energy and still love
to win, but now we also have a collegial softer side to us. I am used
to being in charge. I run a company. I have employees. I was once
a teacher. I am kind of bossy. But in tracking I had to find a way
to let go of control and let my dog be the leader. I had to forge a
different kind of partnership than I was used to. In every other dog
sport I have tried, the handler is in charge. We decide when to give
commands and we control the direction of what we are doing and
were we are going. In tracking, we follow our dog. We trust in the
training and we let them lead us.
“Harley changed as well. One of the cool things about tracking
is that once a track is laid, we have to let it age. So while it ages, we
play with dogs, hang out and talk, and just have a great old time.
We all walk everyone’s tracks together and watch each other’s

dogs track. When we get to the end of the track we all make a big
fuss over the dog! Harley gets a ball tossed by everyone on the
track. When she started tracking, she was really insecure and not
too sure about people. My tracking buddies were okay with that.
They gave her space and time and let her approach them. When
we first started, everyone knew she was not so good with humans,
and so they would all walk back together and let her follow behind
and sniff their fingers. Now she loves all of her tracking buddies
and plays ball with them and even kisses them!
“Our first year of tracking was a great success. We met new
people and Harley made peace with humans. I learned a lot about
trusting my little friend at the end of the line. We embraced a new
sport where there is no first or second place. Everyone can win and
everyone’s success is shared. Harley got her TD and has grown into
a confident tracking dog already preparing for her TDX!”

An ASCA Nationals Tracking test can be especially challenging
to handlers who travel to the show from out of the region, away
from the terrain and climate where their dogs have been trained.
Jan Trude and Monte live and train in Colorado at 8,700 feet
elevation. They met the lowland Houston challenge very nicely.
Here is Jane’s commentary:
“I was so excited to earn our tracking title at the 2017 ASCA
National Specialty in Bryan, Texas. Thanks to ASCA, the tracking
committee and members of the Southwest Tracking Association for
putting on the tracking test.
“I got my first Australian Shepherd when I was living in Dallas,
Texas. I was introduced to ASCA by attending nearby agility trials
and competing with him in ASCA performance events.
“My Montana Sky (“Monte”) is a rescue I got from the Herding
Breed Rescue in Arkansas. Monte was a totally different dog than
my first Aussie. He has a herding background (although he isn’t
crazy about herding) and is very tough, yet sensitive. Monte has a lot
of energy and drive. He loves everyone and has a sweet personality.
Monte and I also show in obedience, rally. and agility.
However, agility and tracking are his favorites! Monte is working
on his CD, has his Excellent rally title and all of his novice agility
titles.
Monte TD and Jane Trude with Tracking Judges Charlene Dunn and
Kathleen Milford.
My introduction to tracking was through Schutzhund, so I
trained Monte using a step tracking method. Monte easily took
to tracking. Finding food on the track was a lot of fun and all the
motivation he needed. Fortunately for me, Monte basically stays
right on the track. His turns are usually right on. If he goes past a
turn, he indicates loss of track very quickly and immediately starts
searching. I can watch him find the track as he crosses over it and,
like a fish hook, his nose is drawn in the correct direction.

training was done at 8,700 feet and above, so training for

the conditions for the
National didn’t exist.
When I finished Monte’s
initial training in tracking,
I started tracking with a
friend who lives at 9,600
feet. My friend laid all
my blind tracks for me.
The only issue I had with
training Monte was that
he did not want to stop
at articles. He wanted to
continue tracking and
not stop. We had to do
a crash course in article
indication.
“Except for the wind,
the tracking conditions
at the Nationals were
great. There were five
dogs entered for the TD
and I drew the fifth track. Watching the dogs before me deal with
the wind was nerve-racking. The only scary time during Monte’s
Tracking Field Notes
track was the last corner when Monte stopped and sniffed for a
long time before turning. I thought that he had stopped to smell
some animal track and the track should go straight. Although I tried
my best to mess him up, I finally decided that I might just as well
follow him He made the turn and took me directly to the glove!
Whew! We passed!”

Just So.
Elizabeth M. Jarrell
Kensington, MD
No matter how many
matches you do,
you never quite know
what kind of
a competition dog
you have until
you actually step into the
ring of a real obedience trial.
Making an
Obedience Dog
That said, your teamwork will improve over time as you
get better and better.
William and I debuted in Beginner Novice Obedience
the week before he turned two years old. As usual, an
extreme weather event occurred the evening before the trial. So
many buckets of rain mixed with pea-sized hail came down from
the skies that my town made national news. Fortunately, ever
since Hurricane Isobel struck, most local dog trials of any venue
are indoors.
Our particular show site has extremely limited parking close
to the facility. I usually arrive at a show about an hour early to
set up and mostly to acclimate my dog. Since this was our initial
obedience performance, and to secure a parking space plus a set-up
spot inside, I wanted to arrive a bit earlier. I admit that I can be just
the tiniest bit of a worrier.
The premium was one of those that listed every class after noon
as “to follow.” Such premium scheduling is most uninformative.
I made some quick mathematical calculations and added a fudge
factor to approximate a ring time of about 1:00 p.m.
So we arrived at around 9:30 a.m. I did mention that I
sometimes tend to worry? But I found a great parking spot and
also a great set-up spot inside.
William and I waddled around outside a bit and then wandered
inside. William was quite pleased when he immediately noticed
the large display of fresh doughnuts. Of course I took one which
we then shared by our set-up. On show days, my dogs always get
to eat at least part of a doughnut. All of them have gone for the
traditional glazed doughnuts. If you want a dog to be happy about
being at an obedience trial, share a doughnut with him.
I have been to many, many dog shows at this point in my life.
But this was the first dog show that featured an elderly gentleman
softly playing beautiful bluegrass on his electric violin. He was
quite good, too. He courteously only played between dogs and
classes. His music made a calming background noise.
After observing a bit, William and I practiced a little doodling
and even a few tricks every now and then between dogs and classes.
When the bluegrass started, we got up to dance. I have never heeled
to bluegrass on an electric violin before, but it was quite lovely.
William already listens to country music while I am at work, so
he also enjoyed the small jump to bluegrass. After all, obedience
done well is like dancing.
106 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018

Turns out, the morning classes ran extremely late, and the
classes after noon ran even later. People began low mumbles that
these shows always ran extremely late. Having never been, I did
not know.
At 4:10, the exhausted and probably hungry judge who had
skipped lunch finally opened the Novice Obedience course for
a walk-through. William and I were first to be judged. We were
excited! I prayed William would remember all those delicious bites
of doughnuts he had eaten earlier.
I’m pleased and proud to report that William and I exceeded
my expectations with a 198 and a first place. Best of all, William
really enjoyed being in the ring. I love showing in obedience so
most of my dogs do, too.
We finally got home and William immediately went to sleep.
I even had to wake him up for dinner, a first. We went to bed early
as well.
The next day, we arrived at 10:30 a.m. Even a worrier such
as me realized it would be absurd to arrive any earlier and being a
worrier, I simply could not bring myself to arrive any later. It’s a
situation. I still found a great parking spot and I had left our set-up
standing overnight.
Walking into the building, William actually tried taking a flying
leap onto the doughnut display. So much for any house manners.
But I still picked out a doughnut to share over the course of the
day.
William and I were both quite pleased to see the bluegrass
electric violinist was there playing again. Having spoken with him
a few times the previous day, he played us a rousing welcome.
William’s eyes lit up with pleasure. I believe he may even have
started tapping his paws.
Sunday’s show ran even farther behind than had Saturday’s.
The Beginner Novice obedience walk through was not until about
5:10 p.m. We were first in the ring again. I believe we were even
a better team than the day before. I was truly delighted that, after
a few steps of very nice heeling, William did a happy leap in the
air. It cost us a point, one I was thrilled to pay. Walking out of the
ring, the judge remarked that my boy was so happy that he wanted
to play.
William ended up with another 198 and another first.
The following weekend we competed once again. This time,
the show ran right on schedule. William got a 197, another first,
and his Beginner Novice obedience title, a first for both of us.
I loved that we experienced true show nerves in a real show
before we will trial in novice. And I especially loved hearing the
kindly gentleman softly playing bluegrass on his electric violin
in the background. Most of all, I loved that William was so very
happy in the ring.
Attitude is everything. Attitude is how you make a show dog
in any venue.
Just so.

When money is tight,
but your dog still needs attention
In my last article, I wrote about how disappointed I was that
I was unable to attend Nationals this year. While that is still
true, and while I hope that I will be able to make it to Nationals
soon, I have still managed to enjoy spending time with my dog
without needing to spend a fortune. We all know how expensive
having a dog can be, and then when you add in trial costs and
travel costs, we realize spend an incredible amount of money on
our dogs. I would argue that they are absolutely worth it, and the
experiences that I have shared
with all of my dogs have been
worth every penny, but as I
have gotten older, and as I have
started to become responsible
for Jeep’s costs, I have had to
become slightly more creative
in the ways that I spend time
with my dog. I have had to try to
find alternative ways train him
and keep him busy. These past
six months have been extremely difficult for me financially; I have
been struggling to find a job after graduating from grad school, and
I have had to be careful about what I spent. After some creative
thinking, I found a variety of ways to work with Jeep that did not
require me to go into debt.
Since I had some down time because I was no longer a student
and was searching for a job, I decided to try to use my time wisely.
I did not want to let Jeep’s training slip just because I wasn’t busy.
One thing that worked very well for me was to get up early on
traditional “work” days, just as I would have had I been working,
and take Jeep outside for a training session. This served multiple
purposes: (1) Jeep and I got training in, which usually meant
that I started most mornings with a smile on my face; (2) I was
awake and productive early, which then allowed me to continue
being productive throughout the day working on job applications
or preparing for interviews; (3) My relationship with Jeep grew
stronger because I was making a deliberate point of taking time
every day to work with him; (4) Jeep learned lots of fun new tricks;
and (5) I got to spend time every morning with my mom and her
dogs, and watch the amazing progress she was making with both
of them. The one thing that I know about myself is that I am much
happier and much more successful when I keep myself busy and
when I have a routine, which is why this was a perfect way to spend
some of my time while I was in between jobs.
108 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018
After some creative thinking,
I found a variety of ways to work
with Jeep that did not require me
to go into debt.
In addition to waking up every morning to train, I also
was intentional about getting Jeep to new locations for exercise
and training as often as I could. Southern California has been
in “Summer-mode” since May, with a few days here and there
dropping below 80 degrees, which has made spending time outside
a little bit more challenging than I would have liked. In June, July,
August, and September, we spent a ton of time swimming in our
pool as a way to spend time together, exercise, and have fun without
spending money. Now that it
has cooled down slightly, I am
trying to take Jeep on walks
(either in the neighborhood,
or at our favorite places like
Ventura Harbor or a drive up
to Cayucos for the day) at least
twice a week. We have tried
tons of new hikes in our area
as well, for a change of scenery.
Something that has always been
extremely important to me is to have a dog that can go anywhere
with me; which is why going new places (locally) was at the top
of my list. Exposing him to new places and new people will only
help him acclimate better when we move for a new job sometime
soon!
The last few months have been extremely challenging. I have
been trying to balance finding a job, training my dog, and enjoying
this “forced” break that I am on. With thanks to my supportive
parents, Jeep and I have found alternative ways to keep active and
keep our brains working without having to dig too deep into my
pockets. He seems incredibly happy with his life, and has certainly
enjoyed all the training we have done (as it is WAY more than he
gets when his mom is a full-time student!). In the next few weeks
I will be starting a new, full-time job, and we will both have to
adjust to that, but I am so happy that I took some time in the last
few months to focus on my relationship with Jeep, because I know
that will make our next step that much easier.

The Life of Maggie
or the Story of a Dog Without a Tail
Leah Swatko • Ontario, Canada
Ma g g i e
was born
a pretty
b l a c k
tri in a nice litter of
Australian Shepherds. I
had contacted the breeder,
Sally Mann Powerpak,
in the fall of 1992. I was
looking for a registered
Aussie and she had a litter
that was just born and it
so happened there was a
female black tri available.
I traveled down to
Guelph from my farm
in Worthington, north
Ontario. I had a farm-bred
Aussie, Jake, who was a
great working farm dog.
I became interested in the
breed and was searching
for a good bitch to move
forward with. I planned
to breed and wanted a
registered dog from tested
parents. I agreed with Sally’s contractual obligations and paid for
Maggie. Since it was a long, six-hour drive, I took Maggie home
with me the next day; she was just shy of seven weeks of age. The
drive home was uneventful and Maggie slept most of the trip in
her crate.
Once we got home, and she had an outdoor break, I brought
her into the house. That was when I knew I had the best dog, her
little nub right up in the air she walked past my two farm Aussies,
ignored my 95-pound Bouvier and took ownership of a bone. No
one ever said no to Maggie for many years to come. Well, I did,
but that was okay, the other dogs gave her free rein of all toys and
bones. She boldly walked into the barn with me at chore time and
was not concerned about the huge horses, the goats, geese, or any
of the other livestock.
As she grew older, her training began in earnest. She was one
of the easiest dogs I had ever trained. I had experience with German
Shepherd working dogs, the farm dogs, and the Bouvier. The farm
Aussies were pretty smart but this little black tri with the full
white collar and a snip of a blaze was doing companion dog work
at five months. In those
days it was unknown
to do formal work with
such a young pup. But
Maggie was brilliant;
she picked everything
up so fast it was kind of
scary in a way – like she
could read my mind and
knew what I wanted. I had
several horses in training
at my farm so I was not
a stranger to animals
knowing what I would
ask of them. It could
have been subtle body
language or maybe there
was just a connection. I
remember reining lessons
I had taken, the instructor
said to gallop out in a
straight line and do a
sliding halt. I did it and
when asked how I did
such a really good job
of it, I could only say I
would just think what I wanted and it happened.
It was like that with Maggie and a few other dogs and horses in
the years to come. I just had a connection at some unknown level.
At seven months Maggie completed her CKC Companion Dog
title with high in class over a weekend and was 1/2 of a point off
high in trial. She was awarded youngest dog to title and with high
in class every one. Buoyed up by our success I began training her
open level obedience. I had also started to compete in conformation
within CKC and ASCA.
My first venture into the conformation ring was not quite as
brilliant as our obedience work.
I had entered Maggie in the Sault Ste Marie Kennel Club shows
a few hours from home. I drove the three hours the evening before
and stayed in a motel. It was kind of fun to get away from the farm
and be on my own with my girl. Our ring time was 8:00 a.m. and
I was at the show site in time to groom and tidy up her coat. I had
to acknowledge I was feeling butterflies – more so than I had ever
felt in obedience or testing out a new horse. Okay, I was nervous
and doubt griped my insides in an unpleasant squeeze. I had every
AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018 109

possible kind of bait imaginable; stuffed into my pockets were liver,
some cheese, dry food. A large, okay, huge chunk of Rollover, a sort
of internal organ salami that dogs love was gripped in one hand. I
made sure I had toys, too, squeaky rabbit-furred round, an equally
noisy fleece-covered toy, and because I had more pockets I put in
a tug toy just in case.
With armband secured and my dog on a show lead I entered
the ring when called by the steward. I was the only entry in the
breed, which made no difference to me. I was clueless. I stood like
a deer frozen in the headlights of a truck, holding a huge fist-sized
chunk of Rollover for Maggie to chew on. The judge was an older
man in a suit with a pained expression on his face as he stood and
looked at what had entered his ring. This did nothing to calm my
nerves and when he barked “Are you going to stack that dog or feed
her breakfast?” Well, I managed a croak of a reply – I have no clue
what I said – but I fumbled with the bait, the collar stacking the
dog, generally getting in the way of the judge as he examined my
dog. She was like a rock, solid on the stand, calm, and oblivious to
my nerves. She was busy licking up all the crumbs I had dropped
on the floor. I bent to adjust her collar and the squeaky toy in my
pocket let out a protest as I bent and then again as I stood up.
“Take her around.” I squeaked with every stride and dropped bits
of food. The judge turned a livid shade and grumbled, “Take her
down and back.” I dutifully did the down and back and tried to
remember something from the few handling classed I had taken. I
stopped so close to the judge that when I waved my bait in the air
to get Maggie’s attention I nearly clipped the judge in the face. He
handed me a collection of ribbons. BOB, BOW, BOBP and a first
place, I left the ring I felt like I had done a horrible job and was just
dismal at this dog-showing thing. I was far more comfortable with
showing dairy goats, baby beef, or riding the back country alone,
me on my mare. I went back for Group and for Puppy Group and
was invisible. I had only entered the one day and drove home in a
cloud of disappointment. Really, was I cut out for this? What did I
know after watching the slick and smooth professional handlers?
What did I expect, I had a new breed, and I was green as they
come. I had three hours of this kind of dismal mental discourse. It
was late afternoon by the time I got home and cooked dinner. Did
chores and went to bed. The next day was Sunday and I busied
myself with barn chores, and took my mare for a long ride back in
the bush. The dogs all came with me and nothing like being out in
the wilderness with a group of good dogs, and a great ride to heal
the mental wounds of my first venture into the conformation ring. I
sat on a rock as my horse grazed and the dogs lounged in the fresh
grass.
While sitting on that rock I considered Maggie’s future. I
decided she deserved better, I had not supported my side of the
team effort and vowed to become the best handler I could. I worked
to improve my skills in the conformation ring; I sat ringside and
watched the professional handlers. I took seminars, and continued
to go to shows. I found a mentor to learn from and we became
good friends over the years. She had boxers, but a good mentor can
have any breed, it is the ethics and the pursuit of knowledge that I
appreciated. She bred boxers and had over 15 years in that breed;
to this day I can select the best boxer pup in a litter and know all
the details of the breed. She was a fountain of information on ring
procedures, the nuances of showing, breeding, whelping. Lynne has
been a good friend over the years and she has continued her journey
in purebred dogs becoming an all breed conformation judge. I found
another mentor in the Aussie breed, but that is a story for another
time.
For my part I continued to grow as a handler and still competed
in the obedience ring. Maggie completed her CKC Champion title
by the time she was 11 months of age. I continue to learn every
time I enter the ring no matter which side of the clip board I stand.
P.S. Note the picture is Maggie winning high in class in Novice A.
The judge was a bit surprised that I wanted a show stack but I was
making one picture serve double
duty. Yes, I was that green at one
time so long ago.

Big-dog hugs redux
I
still miss my boy Flynn every day.
Flynn, my 12-year-old Australian shepherd, died six
months ago, but memories of my sidekick, my wingman, my
best buddy, surface constantly. He and I understood each other
on a soul-to-soul level from the time he came into my life as an
eight-week-old to the day he died, and our comprehension of and
devotion to each other never wavered. We were forever friends,
connected at the hip and the brain.
Even today I miss both his presence and his essence.
I desperately miss his big-dog hugs, too, the ones he gave me
several times each day. Our tiny Maltipoo, Bobby, is a snuggler
and I love him deeply for that and many other things. The constant
affection Bobby gives helps ease all that I’m missing from Flynn,
but there is nothing like a big-dog hug from a large canine who
loves you.
Flynn, quite simply, will never be replaced in my mind or
heart. That he was horribly sick with epilepsy from age three until
the day he died, and that he hung in valiantly against the ravages
of the horrific disease, made me love and admire him even more.
As dog aficionados say, Flynn was my once-in-a-lifetime dog.
That said, we brought home a seven-week-old Australian
shepherd puppy a couple months ago. And in a strangely wonderful
way, we are finding out little Shea – yes, our Aussies have Irish last
names for first names, and Shea even has an Irish middle name of
Murphy – is nothing like our big Flynn.
Flynn was what is known among Aussies as a red tri, meaning
a mostly reddish-brown coat with white and gold markings. Shea
is a blue merle, meaning a mottled gray, white and black with gold
markings on his legs, face and fanny.
Flynn adored his family but was restrained yet polite with all
other humans. Shea loves everyone of every species and greets
even those he hasn’t previously met as long-lost best friends. Flynn
would only snuggle with his family. Given the opportunity, Shea
would cuddle with the dogcatcher … and his cat.
Flynn was described by his breeder, back in his early puppy
days, as an “old soul.” He essentially never was a puppy, even when
he was chronologically a puppy. He never cared much for toys or
games. Shea was described by his breeder’s mother as a “handful,”
Bred Kofford • Imperial Valley, California
and he cherishes all of his toys and stuffed animals, loves to chase
balls, and longs to wrestle with humans or fellow dogs whenever
the opportunity arises.
Flynn never much cared for mischief. Shea courts it. Shea is
trouble in spades, and we love him for that …most of the time.
All of these obvious differences between Flynn and Shea are good
things, I believe. If Shea had looked and acted like Flynn, he would
have been more readily compared to Flynn, by me, my wife and
all others who loved Flynn so much, and that wouldn’t have been
fair to Shea.
Still, there are similarities between the two. Australian
Shepherds are remarkably, sometimes scarily, smart, and Shea
is tremendously intelligent, just like Flynn. One example is Shea
was completely housebroken in under a month. Another example
is he’s a breaking-and-entering artist. Trying to keep him out of
anything, particularly the house when we are away – he’s supposed
to stay in the back yard while we are gone until he gets through his
chewing stage – has proved to be fruitless, despite many different
approaches and the use of various contraptions.
Aussies are also uncommonly loyal dogs to their families,
and Shea has quickly figured out who his family is and eagerly
demonstrates his devotion to us at all times. Like Flynn, Shea
is a voracious, unbridled eater, wolfing down food like his wolf
ancestors. And like Flynn, it appears he is going to be a large, robust
Aussie who likes to give big-dog hugs.
Still, Shea will never be Flynn, because, for those of us who
loved him, there will never be another Flynn.
But Shea will be Shea, and that is turning out to be a wonderful
thing.

AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018 117

Most Versatile Australian Shepherd
The Most Versatile Aussie Award is offered to recognize the dog that best combines the attributes of working ability and
trainability and that faithfully represents the Breed Standard. The MVA conformation evaluations will take place outside on the
North Oval on Monday, September 24, and Tuesday, September 25. The Versatility Chairperson and MVA Show Committee are
solely responsible for Versatility record-keeping from start to finish. The competition will be conducted using the rules in
Chapter 1 of the MVA Rules and Regulations. Bitches in season will run at the end of each class (or as posted) with the same
requirements as listed in the Agility/Obedience/Rally Finals and Tracking rules. The 2018 Most Versatile Aussie award will be
presented Friday at the banquet. The Joseph Hartnagle Memorial Award and the Jean and Bob Carrillo Memorial Award will be
presented to the Most Versatile Aussie. To find the MVA Rule Book, go to ASCA.org, click the Quick Links tab on the right
side, choose Rules & Forms, then choose Rule Books, and then choose MVA/HOF/VCH/PCH Rules.
Conflicts: If you have a conflict with events, conformation takes priority. Notify gate stewards first thing in the morning to get
scheduling worked out. We will try to be accommodating, but must know you have a conflict. You must check in. If you do not
make it to do your run by 30 minutes after the completion of the class, we will not look for you and you will forfeit your run.
Stock: You must run your stock runs within the day you are shown in the run order. Agility, Obedience and Rally: We will
allow you to run out of order, but you must run within the allotted time for the class and the 30 minute rule will apply to all.
Please check in with all stewards at the individual venues at the beginning of the day so that they know you plan to compete.

events. The dog must be owned or co-owned by the Junior or his/her immediate family and the co-owned dog must reside in the

for Holding a Most Versatile Junior Competition, of the Junior Showmanship Program Rule Book. Please write a short 100-word
description of the Junior and his/her dog to be read at the MVJ awards presentation on Friday at the banquet. The Sandy Tubbs
Memorial Award will be given for the Most Versatile Junior.

be accepted for any dog or handler disqualified from the ASCA agility program. The Nationals trial is one trial held over three
days and will be held on grass. The trial will be judged by two judges, judging in three rings, with a limit of 450 runs per judge
per day. If entries warrant, an additional third judge will be hired to allow more dogs to enter. Bitches in season will compete
pursuant to ASCA Agility Rules. Dogs jumping in the 20+” and the 24” classes will be scored together and class placements will
be combined. Obstacles used during the trial are defined in the ASCA Agility Rule Book. The obstacles that will be made
available to the judges include: dog walk, A-frame, teeter, open tunnel, tire jump (displaceable), weave poles (24” spacing), nonwinged
hurdles, winged hurdles, and double bar hurdle. All contacts have rubber surfaces; dog walk and A-frame will be slatted.

for the Nationals trial close on September 7, 2018. Weave poles and a jump will be provided for warm-up. There is adequate
crating space available around the agility ring area for competing dogs. In order for the trial to run smoothly, we need helpers.

Conformation - Altered and Intact
Conformation will be held in the Event Center on mats. No grooming will be allowed within the building but holding crates will
be allowed (no ex-pens). Dog and Bitch schedules will be posted on the website and will be available in the welcome packet.
Class schedules are subject to change. Updates will be posted at www.asca2018.com, on our Facebook page, and/or at the
Show Office. Judges will not wait for any dog holding up a class, with the exception of the Bred-By class. Bred-By handlers
with conflicts must have made the ring steward aware of the conflict at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the class. Owners or
agents are responsible for having their dogs at the ring when their classes are called to be judged. Neither the 2018 Consortium
nor its show committee is responsible for or obligated to furnish any service of notifying exhibitors of the start of class judging.
Dogs will enter the ring in catalog order, unless otherwise posted. A maximum of 175 dogs/bitches will be judged by any one
judge on any one day. If entries warrant, the Conformation Secretary reserves the right to divide classes into groups. In such
case, the judge will designate which entrants will return for class placements from each group. Overflow will be done by the
assigned judge(s) and will begin with the 6-9 class and move through until the necessary overflow number has been met.
118 AUSSIE TIMES March-April 2018

Awards include rosettes for 1st through 4th class placements for all regular and non-regular conformation classes, BOB, BOS,
BOW, WD, WB, Reserve WD, Reserve WB, and 10 Premier Dogs and 10 Premier Bitches.
Conformation - Non-Regular
Puppy: Two to Four Month Puppy class shall be for puppies that are two months of age but under four months of age,
calculated as of September 21, 2018. Four to Six Month Puppy class shall be for dogs that are four months but under six months
of age, calculated as of September 21, 2018. These classes will be divided by sex and color. The winners of these classes shall
compete for Best of Breed Puppy and Best of Opposite Sex Puppy. These puppies may be altered. Please note that puppies are
shown at the owners’ risk with regard to communicable diseases; owners/exhibitors are assuming responsibility for the risk
inherent in showing puppies in a situation where risk of contacting a communicable disease is higher.
Veterans: This is open to dogs which have reached their seventh birthday as of September 21, 2018. This class is open to intact
or spayed and neutered dogs and will be divided by sex and by age: 7-10 years, 10-13 years, and 13+ years.
Stud Dog / Brood Bitch: See section 4.14 b and c of the Conformation Rule Book. Two to four “get” of the dog or bitch, at
least two of which must be entered in a regular conformation class. Dogs and bitches shown as progeny cannot be entered in this
class themselves. Stud Dog or Brood Bitch entered may be neutered.
Generation Entries: Three to five generations of direct descendants will be judged for quality and uniformity in the same
manner as the Stud Dog /Brood Bitch classes. The entrants can be altered, and 2-6 month old puppies are eligible to be part of a
group. A separate entry form must be filled out which lists the first dog in the group (the oldest generation). The balance of the
group does not need to be listed, but they do have to be entered in a class in Nationals Conformation in order to participate in the
group. The first dog in the group DOES NOT need to be entered in another class in Nationals. This is a non-regular class.
Breeder Showcase: Three to five dogs/bitches in each group; same rules as Generations except they must all be bred by the
same breeder(s) and do not have to be direct descendants. The breeder or an immediate family member is NOT required to
handle a dog in the group. All Breeder Showcase dogs must be entered in another class at Nationals. This is a non-regular class.
Brace: Two dogs shown together, which must look alike and move as one. See section 4.14.d of the Conformation Rule Book.
WTCH Class: Altered or intact, judged together; divided by sex; must have received confirmation of the WTCH title. This is a
non-regular class. First through 4th place will be awarded in dogs and bitches, and Best WTCH and Best of Opposite Sex WTCH
will be awarded.

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
