Getting Down to Business<br />
From the President<br />
Hello Members, This was in the latest AusENews, but I think<br />
it’s so important that it needs to be here, too.<br />
Many times, I am contacted by Members about a situation<br />
that goes on at an ASCA event, because people seem to expect me<br />
to do something right then over the phone, all I can do is try to<br />
provide information. I want everyone to be aware of the tool that<br />
is available to solve these problems during the event.<br />
In the recent past, ASCA replaced the ASCA Dispute Rules<br />
with a friendlier process which is the ASCA Conflict Resolution<br />
Protocol. What I want to focus on here is the portion of this which<br />
deals with situations at ASCA events and the responsibility of the<br />
Affiliate Clubs.<br />
This is the introduction to the process which is printed in the<br />
back of each ASCA Program Rulebook.<br />
ASCA Conflict Resolution Protocol<br />
EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 2016<br />
This ASCA Conflict Resolution Protocol replaces the ASCA<br />
Dispute Rules, which are no longer in effect. The purpose of<br />
ASCA’s rules is to protect and advance the interests of the Australian<br />
Shepherd as a purebred dog and to encourage sportsmanlike conduct<br />
at dog shows, working, agility, rally, tracking and obedience trials<br />
and at any other event where Australian Shepherds participate.<br />
The purpose of our rules is to ensure fair participation in our<br />
program events, civil conduct among our members and integrity<br />
in our registry. Sometimes conflicts and disputes will arise, and, in<br />
those cases, the following protocol has been established to resolve<br />
such conflicts and disputes. Membership in ASCA is a privilege,<br />
not a right. Members may be disciplined or membership may be<br />
suspended by the Board of Directors for cause detrimental to the<br />
interest of ASCA or to its programs, policies, objectives or the<br />
harmonious relationship of its members, as determined by the<br />
Board of Directors. Questions not answered by this document<br />
should be referred to the ASCA Executive Secretary. The ASCA<br />
Conflict Resolution Form is included with each sanctioning packet<br />
sent to Affiliate Clubs. Copies of the ASCA Conflict Resolution<br />
Protocol and ASCA Conflict Resolution Form must be available<br />
at all ASCAsanctioned events.<br />
FIRST DECIDE WHO SHOULD RECEIVE YOUR<br />
REQUEST FOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION<br />
Affiliate Club<br />
It is the duty of the Affiliate to deal initially with conflicts which<br />
occur during or in connection with its events. The Affiliate Club<br />
should receive these requests for conflict resolution:<br />
• Conflicts, complaints or disputes arising from violation(s) of<br />
rules at ASCA-sanctioned events sponsored by an affiliate,<br />
including violations of ASCA Bylaws, ASCA program rule<br />
books, ASCA Policy, or ASCA codes of conduct<br />
• Conflicts, complaints or disputes arising from affiliate bylaws<br />
or rules<br />
• Conflicts arising from the misconduct of improper actions by<br />
a judge which are correctable at the time of the event (not the<br />
decision of the judge)<br />
The next section has to do with Conflicts that are the jurisdiction<br />
of the ASCA Board. I urge you all to familiarize yourselves with<br />
this whole process.<br />
I want to let Members know that this process is here for you to<br />
use if you have a complaint at a show. I urge you to use this when<br />
things need to be addressed at a show. Ask for the form and fill it out<br />
completely, following the process. Take it to the Club President or<br />
the Member that is heading up the show (Show Secretary or Show<br />
Chair). There is a process that the Affiliate Club must follow. It is<br />
too long to be outlined here, so please use the link here to familiarize<br />
yourself with the procedures: http://www.asca.org/wp-content/<br />
uploads/2016/04/Conflict-Resolution-Protocol-Form.pdf.<br />
I want the Affiliate Clubs to know that if an attendee asks for the<br />
form, the Club must provide it and cooperate fully with providing<br />
access to what the Member needs to fill it out. Provide your copy<br />
of the ASCA Program Rule book for help in their research. Giving<br />
them the opportunity to use this process and then following it to<br />
the letter will help protect the Affiliate and will allow the Club to<br />
reach a decision that will hopefully end up being satisfactory. Many<br />
of the steps are time sensitive, so being aware ahead of time may<br />
help.<br />
What if the complainant isn’t happy with the decision? This<br />
is the last step in the process which both the Club and the Member<br />
with the complaint need to understand:<br />
11. The decision of the hearing body shall be final and binding<br />
unless a written notice of the member’s intention to appeal the<br />
decision is received by ASCA’s Executive Secretary within<br />
7 days of the date of the letter notifying said member of the<br />
disciplinary action taken against him/her.<br />
Now let’s go back to the start of this report. If people call me<br />
about a complaint at a show, what I will tell either party is to follow<br />
this process. That is all I can do to help! If this is not followed, it<br />
may mean that ASCA really can’t help you! It is your responsibility<br />
to use this process at the event, and it is the Affiliate’s responsibility<br />
to follow the process professionally in order to relieve the situation.<br />
Be prepared by reading the whole process before your next show.<br />
Thank you to all the Affiliate Clubs who host ASCA events!<br />
This is where we go to compete and achieve titles and reach our<br />
goals as part of our enjoyment with our dogs. It is up to all of us to<br />
follow the rules and respect ASCA and our hosts to the best of our<br />
ability. We need to strive to treat each other with respect and good<br />
sportsmanship at these events. Just be aware, should something<br />
go wrong, this process exists to help deal with these situations.<br />
A Committee of ASCA Members created this procedure to help<br />
ASCA events be the best they can be. Everything is there to help<br />
you and your club ensure that situations can be handled.<br />
I love ASCA and Aussies,<br />
~ Ann<br />

at our meeting then we need to do so and not be limited.<br />
Dissent from Gibson: Directors are elected to serve ASCA, and one<br />
of the main ways we serve is through participation in the monthly<br />
Board meetings. At times the meetings are lengthy, but that is part of<br />
the job we agreed to do. If there are more than items that need to be<br />
discussed, then the Board should be free to discuss them. Especially<br />
now that we are posting the recordings from the meetings, it is<br />
beneficial for the membership to hear the Board’s discussion on<br />
issues rather than having discussions via email where they are<br />
hidden from the membership. I support transparency and open<br />
discussion of ASCA business, so I am voting against this motion.<br />
Dissent from Vest: Cannot see how this would be of benefit since<br />
open discussion can reveal details that are sometimes missed in an<br />
email post. And since the BOD discussion is also provided to the<br />
Membership, it also helps to better inform of a BOD member’s<br />
thoughts on a topic.<br />
Motion by Roberts; second by Gray: I move to add the following<br />
policy under 8.1.2 d Monthly Teleconferences<br />
“Teleconference agendas will be limited to 10 items, including<br />
re-occurring items.”<br />
Current wording:<br />
8.1.2 Deadlines<br />
The President or a designated Director shall issue meeting agendas<br />
using the following deadlines:<br />
a. Regularly scheduled face-to-face meeting (spring and National<br />
Specialty) – no later than thirty days prior to the meeting start<br />
date;<br />
b. Issues with a current nature may be added to face-to-face<br />
meetings no later than five days prior to the meeting start date;<br />
c. Emergency issues* may be added at face-to-face meetings at<br />
any time;<br />
d. Monthly teleconferences – no later than one week prior to the<br />
scheduled meeting date;<br />
e. Issues with a current nature may be added to teleconference<br />
meetings no later than two days prior to the meeting start date;<br />
f. Emergency issues* may be added to teleconference meetings<br />
at any time.<br />
Proposed wording:<br />
8.1.2 Deadlines<br />
The President or a designated Director shall issue meeting agendas<br />
using the following deadlines:<br />
a. Regularly scheduled face-to-face meetings (spring, National<br />
Specialty or any other face-to-face meeting): no later than<br />
thirty days prior to the meeting start date;<br />
b. Issues with a current nature may be added to face-to-face<br />
meetings: no later than five days prior to the meeting start date;<br />
c. Emergency issues* may be added to face-to-face meetings at<br />

d. Monthly teleconferences: no later than one week prior to<br />

f. Emergency issues* may be added to teleconference meetings<br />
at any time.<br />
*Adding emergency issues to agendas will be defined by the<br />
majority of the Board of Directors.<br />
Comments/rationale: Teleconference meetings should be reserved<br />
for those items that need a more in-depth discussion, so it is logical<br />
to keep the agenda items limited to 10. Routine business should be<br />
handled via email as Policy dictates.<br />

least every three years, beginning in <strong>2018</strong>. Under 3 Obedience<br />

It is the responsibility of all ASCA Obedience judges to stay up<br />
to date on the current rules and regulations affecting the ASCA<br />
Obedience program. Lists of rule changes for the most recent<br />
rulebooks can be found on the ASCA website. Only those program<br />
rules contained in the latest version of each rulebook shall be<br />
enforceable.<br />
3.4.2 ASCA Obedience Judges Education<br />
Starting July 1, <strong>2018</strong>, all ASCA Obedience judges will be required<br />
to certify at least every three years that they have completed one<br />
of the required options for continuing judge education. Newly<br />
approved judges will be required to certify within 12 months<br />
of first approval. The list of judge education options for each<br />
year will be delineated in the ASCA Obedience Judge Education<br />
Certification Form to be posted on the ASCA website. In addition,<br />
upon request, the Business Office will send the Obedience Judge<br />
Education Certification Form for the current year to judges who<br />
can’t utilize the online version.<br />
All current ASCA Obedience judges must certify between July 1,<br />
<strong>2018</strong> and December 31, <strong>2018</strong> that they have completed the initial<br />
continuing judges’ education. Starting in 2021, certifications for<br />
judges whose last names begin with the letters A-M will be due<br />
16 AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
etween January 1 and <strong>June</strong> 30. Certifications for judges whose<br />
last names begin with the letters N-Z will be due between July 1<br />
and December 31.<br />
3.4.3 Certification of Continuing Education<br />
In order to maintain judging eligibility in the ASCA obedience<br />
program, it is the responsibility of each ASCA Obedience judge to<br />
complete and submit the Obedience Judge Education Certification<br />
Form at least every three years. Judges are welcome to certify<br />
more often, according to a schedule that is more convenient for<br />
them. For example, those who also judge ASCA Rally might<br />
choose to re-certify every two years (i.e. <strong>2018</strong>, 2020, etc.). The<br />
ASCA Business Office will keep a record of which judges are up<br />
to date on certification and thus eligible to judge.<br />
The Obedience Judge Education Certification Form can be<br />
submitted online or by downloading and sending a copy to the<br />
Business Office. Starting January 1, 2019, judges who are not up<br />
to date with certification will not be eligible to judge until they<br />
complete and submit the Obedience Judge Education Certification<br />
Form. After 2 years of lapsed certification, a judge’s name will be<br />
removed from the ASCA Obedience Judge list.<br />
Comments/rationale: To improve the judging in the ASCA<br />
obedience program and to follow a directive from the Board of<br />
Directors.<br />
Who is affected: Obedience judges and the ASCA Business Office.<br />
The Business Office was contacted for input before the rule<br />
language was drafted. After reading the first draft of this rule, staff<br />
emailed Oct. 27, 2017, that the language sounds good.<br />

the scheduled sanction date and ends when awards and score sheets<br />
have been handed out. At any time, a non-competing dog may be<br />
used to set or move stock in the trial arena at the discretion of the<br />
Course Director and Judge. When the trial ends, there will be no<br />
limitations or restrictions on any dogs or handlers.<br />
Comments/rationale: These rules need clarification as there has<br />
been confusion at several locations during trials.<br />

Abstain: 0<br />
Motion carries.<br />
Dissent from King: I understand the reasoning for this motion but<br />
I’d like to see the start of trial as handler’s meeting rather than<br />
midnight of the trial day. I never want to make it easier to travel<br />
eight or ten hours to a trial than to have a member run a trial at their<br />
place. There are still areas where trial numbers need to grow and<br />
I don’t think the safe and efficient moving of the stock should be<br />
restricted before the trial. Stock should not need to remain penned<br />
for a whole weekend or be transported the day before to allow the<br />
stock owner to trial.<br />
Dissent from Vest: This rule will not serve the purpose as intended,<br />
which was to allow the livestock owner to use their dog to move<br />
stock when the dog had completed trialing for the day.<br />
Motion by Roberts: I move to approve the following motion from<br />
the SD Committee.<br />
Committee recommendation:<br />
Motion by Jim McKay; second by Trish Alexander: I move that the<br />
stock dog committee change the wording of 4.11.1 in section 11.<br />

the ASCA System Upgrade.<br />
Officer Reports<br />
problematic situation of having a Sponsorship Committee when<br />

DECEMBER EMAIL BUSINESS<br />

December 2017.<br />
BD.18.10 December Email Business<br />
Motion by Vest to ratify the December email business. Second by<br />
DeChant.<br />
Approve: Unanimous<br />
Motion carries.<br />
NEW JUDGES & SOLICITATION OF JUDGING<br />
ASSIGNMENTS<br />
The Board followed up on a discussion from Nationals regarding<br />
a new page on the ASCA Website which lists new judges for one<br />
year, to help them get the necessary assignments to move through<br />
the process. That discussion centered on whether judges should<br />
be listed once – when they are first admitted into the program, or<br />
multiple times – as they are approved for each level. The intent<br />
of the motion maker was to have the judges published for a year<br />
from when they are approved or until they move to the next level,<br />
whichever comes first, but that was not fully understood by all at the<br />
time. There was also some question on whether all program judges<br />
should be included on this New Judge page, or to just list Non-<br />
Regular Breeder Judges. DeChant and Roberts will work on this.<br />
Some feel that the prohibition against soliciting judging assignments<br />
should be clarified, so that judges going through the process may<br />
issue a one-time notification to clubs that they are available to<br />
judge a show.<br />
ASCA REGIONS<br />
This proposal was sent out for member feedback following<br />
Nationals. A majority of those who responded preferred fixing the<br />
regions that currently have issues – 5 and 7, and to leave the rest as<br />
is. Silveira and Vest will work on this and have a recommendation<br />
for the Spring Meeting.<br />
SPONSORSHIP COMMITTEE<br />
During their meeting at the 2017 Nationals, the Board noted the<br />
MODERATION OF ASCMEMBERS GROUP<br />
At the last Board meeting, Gibson inquired as to the moderation<br />
policy for the ASCMembers group.<br />
Roberts shared that the rules for the group are not on the home<br />
page yet but are provided in the welcome message when a member<br />
applies to join the list. Membership of subscribers has been verified<br />
for all but 122, and they have been sent emails asking to clarify<br />
or be removed. Those who do not have a name associated with<br />
their email have also been asked to update. Roberts stated that<br />
the rules for ASCMembers are the same as the rules were for the<br />
ASCA-L, which were adopted as the rules for ASCADiscussion.<br />
When the rules came out for ASCADiscussion there was a lot of<br />
negative pushback on phrasing, so Roberts shared those rules with<br />
ASCA members and suggestions were made as to how to phrase<br />
things to be more welcoming. Roberts and DeChant will work on<br />
revising the rules.<br />
The plan is to begin moderation in the next two weeks. General<br />
policy will be: 1st post, always moderated; 1st rule violation, put<br />
on moderation until posts are positive; 2nd rule violation, put on<br />
moderation.<br />
ASCADISCUSSION GROUP<br />
As requested, DeChant asked the membership if anyone is<br />
interested in taking over ownership of the ASCADiscussion group<br />
from ASCA. She has not received any responses.<br />
BD.18.11 Shut Down ASCADiscussion Group<br />
Motion by Silveira to shut down the unofficial ASCADiscussion<br />
group. Second by Gray.<br />
Approve: Busquets, Creelman, Gibson, Gray, King, Roberts,<br />
Silveira, Vest<br />
Oppose: 0<br />
Abstain: DeChant<br />
Motion carries.<br />
DeChant will send a closing letter to the ASCDiscussion list,<br />
thanking the members for joining and inviting them to join the<br />
ASCMembers list to continue discussion.<br />
JUDGE EDUCATION COMMITTEE<br />
The consensus of the Board is that the framework for Judge<br />
Education should be developed by the Board, or by a professional.<br />
The content remains something to be decided on by the program<br />
committees.<br />
BD.18.12 Disband Judge Education Committee<br />
Motion by Creelman to disband the current Judges Education<br />
Committee with our sincere thanks for all their thoughts and efforts<br />
put into it so far. Second by Gray.<br />
Approve: Unanimous<br />
Motion carries.<br />
DeChant adjourned the meeting at 8:45 p.m.<br />

Motion carries.<br />
Comment from King: This motion forms a committee for the<br />
completion of the system upgrade. I’d like to see this committee<br />
become a permanent committee giving advice to ASCA on<br />
computer changes and upgrades. The expertise we can find in our<br />
members could help with reviewing rule changes effecting our<br />
programming and any purchases involving our computer system.<br />
Motion by Vest; second by Gibson: I move to approve the creation of<br />
a BOD ad-hoc Committee to provide guidance and support to ASCA<br />
during the completion of the system upgrade. The Committee will<br />
consist of: BOD President, BOD Vice President, BOD appointed<br />
System Liaison, BOD System Liaison, two BOD chosen individuals<br />
that possess the skillsets necessary to provide guidance for future<br />
system development/upgrades.<br />
Skillsets may include but are not limited to the following:<br />
AWS:<br />
ec2 instances (windows)<br />
RDS<br />
VPN configuration<br />
IAM<br />
S3<br />
.NET Core<br />
Node.js<br />
npm & gulp<br />
Visual Studio<br />

The ASCA System Upgrade Committee will remain seated until<br />
completion of the ASCA System Upgrade.<br />
Who is affected: ASCA Business Office and all ASCA Members<br />
Motion by DeChant; second by Roberts: I move that ASCA provide<br />
space in the Aussie Times and the ASCA Website and to publish<br />
a list of new Conformation Non-Regular Breeder Judges. Their<br />
names will be published in every issue and remain on the Website<br />
and be noted in the ASCA Judges list for 1 year from the time<br />
they are approved by the Board of Directors. The ASCA Office<br />
will add judges at time of their approval and remove them after<br />
their year is up.<br />
This will replace the following motion approved in January 2017:<br />
BD.17.04 Publishing Names of New ASCA Judges<br />
Approve: Unanimous<br />
Motion carries.<br />
Motion by DeChant; second by Roberts: I move that ASCA provide<br />
space in the Aussie Times and the ASCA Website to publish a list<br />
of new judges for all programs. Their names will be published in<br />
every issue and remain on the Website for 1 year from the time they<br />
are approved by the Board of Directors. The ASCA Office will add<br />
judges at time of their approval and remove them after their year is<br />
up. Sections will be created so that it is clear what level and what<br />
program they are qualified to judge.<br />
Effective Date: Upon approval of the ASCA Board of Directors.<br />
Rationale: Publishing the names of new ASCA judges for one year<br />
will bring to the attention of the Membership and the Affiliate Clubs<br />
the names of new Judges who are beginning their journey through<br />
the process to becoming seasoned and experienced judges. This is<br />
being done to help new judges to obtain assignments in a manner<br />
that is approved by ASCA. Solicitation for assignments is not<br />
allowed in ASCA’s Rules for any judge of all ASCA Programs. The<br />
ASCA Board would like to see these Judges get off on the right foot.<br />
Comments/rationale: These Judges are the only ones in ASCA<br />
Programs that don’t grant points or legs. They would benefit from<br />
ASCA’s help to make members aware of them as they need to judge<br />
at the Non-Regular level in order to move up to the next level where<br />
they grant point toward titles.<br />
Who is affected: ASCA Non-Regular Breeder Judges<br />
Effective date: Immediately upon approval by the Board of<br />

Silveira<br />
Oppose: Gibson, Vest<br />
Abstain: 0<br />
Motion carries.<br />
Dissent from Gibson: I do not support the motion maker’s statement<br />
that “Both the Breed Standard and the Working Description are<br />
of equal importance and both should be published.” The two are<br />
not of equal importance. Without the Breed Standard, you have<br />
no breed – you have no Australian Shepherd. This motion is not<br />
needed, as the Working Description is already published, both in<br />
the Aussie Times and on the ASCA website.<br />
Officer Reports<br />
Proposed wording:<br />
6.14 Breed Standard and Working Description<br />
The ASCA Breed Standard shall be published in every other issue<br />
of the Aussie Times within the first 50 pages of the publication.<br />
The ASCA Working Description shall be published in the Aussie<br />
Times in alternate issues.<br />
A prominent icon which links to the ASCA Standard shall be<br />
presented on the home page of ASCA.org<br />
Comment: Both the Breed Standard and the Working Description<br />
are of equal importance and both should be published.<br />
Parties affected: AT Editor<br />
Effective date: When passed<br />
Dissent from Vest: The working description is not of equal<br />
importance as the Breed Standard. The working description was<br />
written to try and eliminate dogs that did not work in the style<br />
that the authors of the document believed the Australian Shepherd<br />
should work. The working standard was highly contested when it<br />
was developed back in 2003/04 and remains so today with a portion<br />
of the Membership.<br />
Motion by Roberts;second by DeChant: I move to add section 20.3<br />
ASCA Breed Standard and Working Description.<br />
Current wording:<br />
No current wording.<br />
Proposed wording:<br />
20.3 ASCA Breed Standard and Working Description<br />
Prominent icons that link to the ASCA Breed Standard and the<br />
ASCA Working Description shall be presented on the homepage<br />

Comments/rationale: When the motion BD.17.191 Changes to 6.14<br />
Breed Standard was made, I removed the reference to the website<br />
icon as it didn’t belong in the section that addressed posting in the<br />
AT. Now, I would like to move to add both the BS and WD to the<br />
website section of the policy book. Trying to document items and<br />
clean things up. Below, you will see the Board motion from 2006<br />
that addresses the posting of the working description. The policy<br />
was not added to the policy book, as it should have been.<br />
Motion from November 2017:<br />
BD.17.191 Changes to 6.14 Breed Standard<br />
Motion by Roberts; second by Gray: I move to add the Working<br />
Description to the policy for the publication of the Breed Standard<br />

The ASCA Breed Standard shall be published in every other issue<br />

Motion from 2006:<br />
94:01 STOCK DOG COMMITTEE – Motion by Davenport. I<br />
move to approve the following recommendation from the Stock<br />
Dog Committee:<br />
I move the following document be adopted by ASCA as the Working<br />
Description (see attached) of the Australian Shepherd as an official<br />
ASCA document and shall be placed:<br />
1. In the AUSSIE TIMES with the same frequency as the ASCA<br />
Breed Standard.<br />
2. On the ASCA web site.<br />
Further, the Stock Dog Committee recommends that before the<br />
document appears in any places other than items 1 and 2 above,<br />
the ASCA Board of Directors should first conduct a poll of the<br />

Motion fails.<br />
Comment from Busquets: The type of warning intended in this<br />
motion does not apply for clubs in the US. Also, the incidence<br />
of this type of situation is low and the ineligibility of dogs with<br />
chemical implants is already well stated in the rules.<br />
Comment from DeChant: I do not think this needs to be added to<br />
all fliers. The Clubs who want to add it can and it needs to only<br />
be in the Rules.<br />
Comment from Gibson: I do not feel this belongs in the premium.<br />
Comment from Vest: This is information is not necessary on a show<br />
flier. It is in the rules and as such should be treated as all other<br />
rules. The burden to read and understand the show rules rests on<br />
the handler/owner.<br />
Motion by Busquets: I move to add a bullet point to Section 3.2 of<br />

Comments/rationale: Due to improvements in the medical field and<br />
the rising popularity of such chips or implants and in an effort to<br />
clarify the rules and make them transparent for exhibitors, clubs<br />
should be required to make exhibitors aware of these rules. This<br />
is nothing more than a clarification.<br />

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

Call for Additional Members for the ASCA Legislative Committee<br />
The Legislative Committee is in need of members. These members should<br />
be<br />
• Familiar with the animal rights agenda that threatens the right to own<br />
animals, including pets, service animals and domestic livestock.<br />
• Willing to keep up to date on the progress of problematic legislation<br />
at the federal level and in their respective states.<br />
• Immediately available when critical legislative initiatives surface and<br />
be able to respond and work with the other committee members so<br />
the committee is able to meet time-sensitive deadlines.<br />
ASCA Legislative Committee Mission Statement<br />
The Legislative Committee will serve the membership of ASCA by providing<br />
education, up to date information regarding legislation affecting pet<br />
ownership, and foster communication with the public as well<br />
as global, national, state, and local decision makers in such matters. The<br />
Committee advocates responsible animal ownership and will inform the<br />
membership of any threat to our animal ownership rights.<br />
The Process<br />
Typically the committee will become informed of some legislative threat,<br />
usually backed by animal rights groups. Committee members need to read<br />
the proposed legislation, often onerous with vague definitions, and respond<br />
by a certain deadline, usually with very little time. Members then need to<br />
draft ASCA’s comments or position statements. Since we only communicate<br />
by e-mail, this can be a fast and furious process of data gathering,<br />
researching the comments of fellow organizations, possible communication<br />
with the legislative or deciding body and drafting our response – all with<br />
constant re-writes and editing. Once we feel we have the final draft, it must<br />
be vetted by the BOD and legal counsel, which can entail more time and<br />
editing. Meeting the comment deadlines for pending legislation and getting<br />
information to our membership so they can also comment is critical.<br />
If you are willing to serve the very valuable work of this ASCA<br />
committee, please respond to Susan Beals, Committee Chair at susan@<br />
cailleachaussies.com<br />
Obedience Committee<br />
ODX is still a relatively new class and it hasn’t become second nature<br />
to many judges. When putting on an obedience trial, please direct your<br />
judges to the ODX education page (updated in August 2017) at http://<br />

Judge Addresses<br />
Judges who have moved must send a change of address to the Business<br />
Office. Additionally, all judges should submit current email addresses<br />
so updated contact information can be added to the judges’ list. With<br />
so many people hiring judges using email, the e-mail addresses need to<br />
be current.<br />
Sires, Dams and DNA<br />
Sires and Dams must be DNA profiled prior to the registration of their<br />
first litter. Please send a copy of your registration or litter registration<br />
to Therion with the DNA samples. This will help Therion decipher<br />
handwritten applications without having to contact the Business<br />
Office. Only Australian Shepherds who are going to be bred need<br />
to have a DNA test.<br />
Affiliate Clubs Have Free Space<br />
What do you mean free space? Affiliate Clubs have space in the Aussie<br />
Times once a year for a club report to be included in Affiliate News. This<br />

Representative for each Affiliate. Send your submission to, Aussie Times<br />

QUESTIONS 6<br />
<strong>2018</strong> ASCA Election Inquiry Candidate Responses<br />
Judy Boone<br />
My answers are pretty much the same as last year. : )<br />
1. Why would you consider yourself an asset to the ASCA Board<br />
of Directors?<br />
I would consider myself an asset to the ASCA Board of<br />
Directors because I would bring a fresh perspective. I have<br />
also worked closely with the Business Office and understand<br />
some of the challenges they face in supporting the programs<br />
and registry. I have participated in almost all the programs<br />
ASCA has to offer, giving me a very broad perspective of our<br />
programs.<br />
2. What do you hope to achieve in your term on the Board?<br />
My goals for my term on the Board are to promote ASCA<br />
programs and expand their appeal to competitors new to that<br />
program – basically getting people to try and remain ASCA<br />
competitors. A healthy competitor base translates to increased<br />
revenue, allowing ASCA to better serve its members. As an<br />
agility judge, competitor and agility committee member, I hope<br />
to help the other directors more fully understand the agility<br />
program. As a Rally, Conformation and Stock participant, I<br />
hope to bring a competitor’s view to the BOD.<br />
3. ASCA is a 501(c)-7 not-for-profit business classified as a<br />
social club. What qualities, abilities, and experiences do<br />
you possess that will aid in running ASCA and potentially<br />
improve it?<br />
I have been a business owner and have dealt with employees<br />
and all that goes with them – taxes, benefits, etc. I have also<br />
worked for large corporations in the medical field; working<br />
within the system in smaller groups to accomplish goals.<br />
Working with this diverse background will allow me to offer<br />
different perspectives to help solve issues and problems within<br />
ASCA.<br />
4. Briefly outline the direction you would like to see ASCA take.<br />
I would like to see ASCA honor its working dog heritage while<br />
embracing the modern diversity of our breed.<br />
5. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (including<br />
committee work) you may have with ASCA at the national<br />
level.<br />
I have served on the Agility committee for the last 7 years<br />
and have been the Chair for the last 4 years. As an ASCA<br />
Supervising Agility judge and Course Reviewer for 10 years,<br />
I have helped judges hone their skills to make them better<br />
judges.<br />
6. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (offices and<br />
positions) you have held in ASCA affiliate clubs.<br />
In affiliate clubs, I have served in all positions – President, Vice<br />
President, Secretary, Treasurer, Board of Director, Affiliate Rep<br />
and Show Coordinator in 5 different affiliates in California,<br />
Utah, Arizona and Ohio. I am currently a member of Prescott<br />
ASC in Arizona and Buckeye ASC in Ohio.<br />
Susan Byrne<br />
1. Why would you consider yourself an asset to the ASCA Board<br />
of Directors? <br />
I believe I would be an asset to the ASCA Board because I<br />
bring a unique perspective being a recently retired ASCA office<br />
employee as well as a competitor in every ASCA program<br />
except the Tracking program. In a relatively short period of<br />
time, I have accomplished titles in all programs I compete with<br />
my dogs including SVCH (#59), VCH (#64), WTCH, ATCH<br />
(multiples on 2 dogs) all elite Agility titles on a third dog,<br />
Altered Champions (3), RE (2) and CD. Being a competitor<br />
in these areas, I am interacting with other competitors and<br />
members voicing their concerns. Being an ASCA employee<br />
for 4 1⁄2 years with the primary responsibility of answering<br />
incoming phone calls, I have first-hand knowledge of what the<br />
day to day interaction with our members brings. <br />
2. What do you hope to achieve in your term on the Board? <br />
If elected, it is my desire to listen to and serve our membership<br />
in hopes of growing the number of members within the<br />
organization and making our programs inviting to many<br />
competitors. I will contribute honesty, integrity, respect and<br />
accountability to a diverse group of individuals responsible<br />
for the success of this organization. <br />
3. ASCA is a 501(c)-7 not-for-profit business classified as a<br />
social club. What qualities, abilities, and experiences do<br />
you possess that will aid in running ASCA and potentially<br />
improve it?<br />
In my many years of volunteerism, a great majority of my<br />
experiences are with not-for-profit organizations including<br />
AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 31
multiple Officers’ Wives Clubs and the Federation of Texas<br />
A&M Mothers’ Clubs. I have served in the capacities of<br />
treasurer, Vice Presidents, President and Parliamentarian. I<br />
believe these experiences will lend themselves to me being a<br />
contributing member of the ASCA Board and offering ideas<br />
through a fresh set of eyes. <br />
4. Briefly outline the direction you would like to see ASCA take.<br />
I would like to see ASCA continue to honor and showcase<br />
the versatility of the Australian Shepherd while encouraging<br />
the health of the breed. I would also like to see continued<br />
enhancements of the online portal system rolled out in 2016. <br />
5. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (including<br />
committee work) you may have with ASCA at the national<br />
level. <br />
I have served on the Nationals Consortium for 2014 and<br />
2017. In 2014, I stepped in at the 11th hour to head up the<br />
sponsorships for both Nationals and Finals donations. In 2017,<br />
I served as the Local Liaison where I had responsibilities of<br />
dealing with local vendors to supply items for the event. <br />
6. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (offices and<br />
positions) you have held in ASCA affiliate clubs. <br />
I currently am serving in my second year as Secretary for<br />
Central Texas Working ASA. I am also a willing volunteer at<br />
any event I attend whether it is stock handling or contributing<br />
in whatever needs to be done to help agility trials run smoothly. <br />

32 AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
ELECTION SECTION<br />
1. Why would you consider yourself an asset to the ASCA Board<br />
of Directors?<br />
I have extensive leadership experience in the military, in<br />
business and in volunteer positions. I am accustomed to<br />
multi-tasking and managing a variety of complex projects<br />
simultaneously. I have also been heavily involved in fiscal<br />
management and budgeting in both my military and civilian<br />
careers.<br />
2. What do you hope to achieve in your term on the Board?<br />
I hope to encourage an atmosphere of respect and civility<br />
in member/board/committee interactions and to provide the<br />
membership with honest, timely, accurate information and<br />
service. Additionally, I want to contribute to the continuing<br />
improvement in Business Office services to the membership<br />
and document office operational methods and procedures to<br />
make new employee transitions easier for both the employee<br />
and the membership.<br />
3. ASCA is a 501(c)7 not-for-profit business classified as a social<br />
club. What qualities, abilities, and experiences do you possess<br />
that will aid in running ASCA and potentially improve it?<br />
My ability to budget, plan, and execute, plus my extensive<br />
ASCA committee experience and service as ASCA Secretary,<br />
ASCA President, ASCA Treasurer, and Executive Secretary<br />
will allow me to serve ASCA successfully.<br />
4. Briefly outline the direction you would like to see ASCA take.<br />
As a 501c7 social club, ASCA is somewhat restricted in terms<br />
of its operation. I believe ASCA must be operated according<br />
to the Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation as a memberowned<br />
business. As a member-owned business I would like<br />
to see emphasis placed on fiscal responsibility, factual realtime<br />
communication between the Board of Directors and<br />
membership, and a professional, leadership atmosphere.<br />
5. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (including<br />
committee work) you may have with ASCA at the national<br />
level.<br />
I spent 8 years on the Agility Committee including one year<br />
as committee chair during termination of NADAC dual<br />
sanctioning. I also served for two years on the MVA committee.<br />
In 2007 I rejoined the Agility Committee and became a charter<br />
member of the Nationals Committee. I served as the National<br />
Specialty Chair for the ASCA 2007 Golden Jubilee National<br />
Specialty. I served for two years as ASCA Secretary, one year as<br />
ASCA President, two years as ASCA Treasurer, and six months<br />
as Executive Secretary. I served on the DNA Committee. Also,<br />
I served a short stint on the Stockdog Committee.<br />
6. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (offices and<br />
positions) you have held in ASCA affiliate clubs.<br />
I served as Vice-president of the Australian Shepherd Club<br />
of New England (ASCNE) for six years. ASCNE has a<br />
membership of ~225. I served six years as ASCNE Treasurer<br />
and several years as ASCNE’s Stockdog Trial Coordinator.<br />
After serving four and a half years as editor of the New<br />
England Aussie, ASCNE’s bi-monthly newsletter I stepped<br />
down and turned over the newsletter to a new editor. I served<br />
as the club’s alternate web master. I have various show/trial<br />
positions including trial chair and secretary, steward, agility<br />
course builder, and stock handler. In 2008, Sheila and I received<br />
a Lifetime Honorary ASCNE Membership for our service to<br />
the Club. Since I relocated to the beautiful Bitterroot Valley<br />
in Montana I no longer participate in ASCNE activities.<br />
Rick Gann<br />
1. Why would you consider yourself an asset to the ASCA Board<br />
of Directors?<br />
I feel I’m fair, honest, and not biased toward any one ASCA<br />
program. I’m consistent in my decisionsmaking skills, which<br />
showed in my past ASCA board experience. I have the ability<br />
to keep ASCA members' best interest since this is an ASCA<br />
member-driven organization. I will listen to the subject matter<br />
experts in each program to make educated decisions regarding<br />
that particular program and ASCA. I’m not interested in<br />
making huge changes to ASCA and its programs. I feel we<br />
sometimes make too many changes which tends to keep the<br />
organization in turmoil. I would do my best to bring ASCA<br />
members together, consider everyone’s views, and make the<br />
right decision for ASCA and its members. During the past<br />
year, I’d like to address a couple of board decisions I would<br />
have done differently: (1) I would not have vote to disband<br />
the Aussie-L and (2) I would not have voted to create an<br />
Introduction to Stock program without allowing the Stockdog<br />
Committee ample time to create this program. The Stockdog<br />
community and judges should have been involved making sure<br />
new exhibitors understand current rules, stock knowledge,<br />
and the purpose of this new program. Current/Past Stockdog<br />
community has worked hard getting the ASCA Stockdog<br />
program where it is today.
2. What do you hope to achieve in your term on the Board?<br />
Consistency. In the past few years the ASCA board has been<br />
their own worst enemy. The board has been running exactly<br />
like our US Government. The board has been divided and<br />
no one from the other side is willing to work together. This<br />
must stop in order to get ASCA back on track and to gain the<br />
membership's trust. <br />
3. ASCA is a 501(c)-7 not-for-profit business classified as a<br />
social club. What qualities, abilities, and experiences do<br />
you possess that will aid in running ASCA and potentially<br />
improve it?<br />
This is a club where the membership voices have a right to be<br />
heard and an avenue in which to communicate their concerns to<br />
the ASCA board. The ASCA Board of Directors has a fiduciary<br />
responsibility to oversee ASCA’s financial outcome. I feel I<br />
have the ability to listen to our members, give them an avenue<br />
to address their concerns, and make fair and unbiased decisions<br />
regarding ASCA’s fiduciary responsibility to our membership.<br />
ASCA’s bottom line continues to improve but communication<br />
with our members still needs improvement by our directors. <br />
4. Briefly outline the direction you would like to see ASCA take.<br />
I would like to see the ASCA membership and the ASCA<br />
Board of Directors communicate more effectively. The ASCA<br />
board needs to have a better working relationship with the<br />
program committees. The board needs to quit micro managing<br />
the committees work and quit telling the committees how<br />
many topics they are allowed to work on at any given time.<br />
The only committee work the board should be involved in is<br />
board directives. All committees should be given ample time<br />
to work on board directive before the board gets involved in<br />
committee work. <br />
5. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (including<br />
committee work) you may have with ASCA at the national<br />
level.<br />
I have served as an ASCA Board of Director for 6 years in the<br />
past. Positions I have held include President (briefly), 1st Vice-<br />
President, 2nd Vice-President, Secretary, and director. I have<br />
been an active member of the Conformation Committee in the<br />
past and I’m currently on the Judges Education Committee.<br />
ASCA Nationals Co-Chair 2010 and 2017. <br />
6. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (offices and<br />
positions) you have held in ASCA affiliate clubs.<br />
I have been a member of Heart of Texas ASC for 20 years.<br />
Positions held include President, Vice-President, Secretary,<br />
and board member/show coordinator. <br />
Linda M. Gray<br />
1. Why would you consider yourself an asset to the ASCA Board<br />
of Directors?<br />
I’ve spent 20 years on the ASCA BoD and 4 months working<br />
at the ASCA Business Office in 2005. Gained a wealth of<br />
knowledge both working as a Director and at the Business<br />
Office.<br />
2. What do you hope to achieve in your term on the Board?<br />
I hope to work to continue to preserve ASCA as the premier<br />
registry for the Australia Shepherd. ASCA is an innovator in<br />
ELECTION SECTION<br />
the dog world, in my opinion, and I’d like to work to continue<br />
with that preservation.<br />
3. ASCA is a 501(c)-7 not-for-profit business classified as a<br />
social club. What qualities, abilities, and experiences do you<br />
posses that will aid in running ASCA and potentially improve<br />
it?<br />
Having spent 20 years on the Board I have experience with<br />
ASCA’s 501(c)7 social cub classification. Washington is where<br />
ASCA is incorporated and is bound by Washington state laws,<br />
which I’ve worked with for 20 years.<br />
4. Briefly outline the direction you would like to see ASCA take.<br />
I would like to see ASCA continue to be a leader in the world<br />
of dog registries, as it has been in the past. We were the first<br />
to have an Altered Conformation program and a DNA parentverified<br />
registry as the membership wanted.<br />
5. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (including<br />
committee work) you may have with ASCA at the national<br />
level.<br />
ASCA 1st VP, 2nd VP, Director and Secretary. Committee<br />
membership: DNA and Tracking. Board Liaison to the<br />
following committees: Conformation, Obedience, Tracking,<br />
History, Bylaw and DNA. ASCA Lifetime Achievement<br />
recipient for 2015.<br />
6. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (offices and<br />
positions) you have held in ASCA affiliate clubs.<br />
Australian Shepherd Club of New England Inc.: President<br />
5 years, Vice President 4 years, Newsletter editor 10 years.<br />
Also: Director, Membership Chair, Sanctioning person, Show<br />
Results person, Stock Timer, Obedience and Conformation<br />
Steward, Trophy and Ribbon Chair, grounds crew. Honorary<br />
Lifetime Member of ASCNE since 1998.<br />
Susan Harris<br />
1. Why would you consider yourself an asset to the ASCA Board<br />
of Directors?<br />
I bring to the board 12 years of Non-Profit Board of Director<br />
experience in addition to over 30 years of business experience.<br />
I believe that I work well in a team environment. I bring a<br />
level-headed, fair and honest approach to business matters.<br />
I understand how and when marketing and technology are<br />
important.<br />
2. What do you hope to achieve in your term on the Board?<br />
I would like to be part of ASCA’s growth and development in<br />
encouraging member involvement, new uses for technology<br />
and focusing on financial stability. I would like to see new<br />
titling opportunities for our dogs while still supporting and<br />
encouraging support for our existing programs. I would like<br />
to open discussions on a Breeder of Merit program where<br />
individual registering of all puppies in a litter and mandatory<br />
health testing are a part of the program.<br />
3. ASCA is a 501(c)-7 not-for-profit business classified as a<br />
social club. What qualities, abilities, and experiences do<br />
you possess that will aid in running ASCA and potentially<br />
improve it?<br />
With 12 years of non-profit noard experience this is what I<br />
learned that I will bring to the Board. Non-profits are usually<br />
run by volunteers and working with them is much different<br />
AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 33
than working with paid employees. It is important to listen to<br />
your members, let them know you hear and understand their<br />
needs. Vital to Non-Profits are budgets, fund raising, grant<br />
writing, marketing and exceptional recordkeeping. I hold a<br />
bookkeeping degree and have over seven years of marketing<br />
and advertising experience. I think when you become a member<br />
of a Board like ASCA you must be able to dedicate yourself to<br />
the betterment of the organization and I look forward to doing<br />
that.<br />
4. Briefly outline the direction you would like to see ASCA take.<br />
I would like to see ASCA as an organization strengthen and<br />
grow our programs for our members, increase our use of<br />
technology and keep an open mind to new ways of doing<br />
business. Preserving our breed should be our key focus, our<br />
breed’s original purpose, its unique characteristics and its<br />
versatility.<br />
5. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (including<br />
committee work) you may have with ASCA at the national<br />
level.<br />
I currently am on the Junior Committee, which is near and dear<br />
to my heart. I believe that our young people are the future of<br />
ASCA. I have also served on the Conformation Committee.<br />
I was on the Show Committee for the 2012 Nationals held in<br />
Bakersfield. I am on the 2019 Nationals Show Committee.<br />
6. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (offices and<br />
positions) you have held in ASCA affiliate clubs.<br />
I have been involved with ASCA on a local level for 14 years,<br />
12 years as the club secretary and 2 years as President for Delta<br />
ASF. I have also held the office of affiliate rep. I serve as show<br />
secretary and ring steward for many of our shows and help<br />
arrange our education events. I am also a Central Valley ASC<br />
club member.<br />
Leah Swatko<br />
1. Why would you consider yourself an asset to the ASCA Board<br />
of Directors?<br />
I have a diverse background in the working world, have owned<br />
and operated several successful businesses. Small mixed farm,<br />
registered dairy goat herd, horse training, vintage clothing<br />
store; all breed brooming shop, professional dog gandling, and<br />
private dog behaviour modification I have worked principally<br />
in heavy industry, union and non-union work places. Often<br />
I was the first and only woman to enter these workplaces. I<br />
have a good understanding of contract language, and conflict<br />
resolution. I am a facilitator; I help people not only express<br />
themselves but help organizations and groups reach common<br />
ground and goals. The constant in my life has been animals and<br />
family. Now my life is focused on dogs; training, behaviour,<br />
judging, and competing. The breed that has my heart is the<br />
Australian Shepherd.<br />
2. What do you hope to achieve in your term on the Board?<br />
Maintain and continue to open clear lines of communication<br />
between members of the ASCA Board of Directors, the<br />
Committees in all ASCA Programs, and the Membership<br />
of ASCA. Move towards the goals and future of ASCA as a<br />
dedicated single breed registry. Increase participation of ASCA<br />
ELECTION SECTION<br />
Affiliates and welcome new breeders into the fold. Help to<br />
develop strong educational and mentoring programs for all<br />
ASCA competitive programs. Work to develop and implement<br />
the breeding of ASCA registered Australian Shepherds and the<br />
increase of individual registrations. Address the handling of<br />
serious infractions and work towards strong Bylaws, and rules<br />
all of which are enforceable; which are fair and representative<br />
of the offence. Facilitate through clear-sighted guidance the<br />
development of a stronger future for ASCA and the Australian<br />
Shepherd breed on a global scale.<br />
3. ASCA is a 501(c)-7 not-for-profit business classified as a<br />
social club. What qualities, abilities, and experiences do you<br />
posses that will aid in running ASCA and potentially improve<br />
it?<br />
I have a long history of volunteering. I started at the age of 11<br />
volunteering in a home for the aged, then focused on farming,<br />
therapeutic riding, and now in numerous pure bred dog groups<br />
and associations. I am a life member of my local CKC All<br />
Breed Club, 5 more years and will be a Life Member of CKC.<br />
I am a Life Member of ASCA and have encouraged many to<br />
do the same. I worked with a group of like minded competitive<br />
dog sport people to build a well-funded section in the All Breed<br />
Club, went from in the red to over $130,000 a year in gross<br />
income, all through volunteerism at its finest. I have over 30<br />
years of volunteer teaching a variety of dog classes including<br />
household, obedience, clicker tricks, behaviour modification<br />
in the dogs behaving badly class. Many hours of school bite<br />
prevention presentations, a two-year pilot project working<br />
with a school for disadvantaged juvenile teens. We matched a<br />
dog and student and taught them that they could accomplish<br />
so much with positive clicker training when they had come<br />
from a life of mental and physical abuse.<br />
4. Briefly outline the direction you would like to see ASCA take.<br />
ASCA and the world of purebred preservation breeders are<br />
facing serious attacks from well-funded animal rights groups.<br />
We must build a unified front to deal with these attacks or<br />
everything we do for this breed will be gone. We do need to<br />
respect change and differing opinions, but have clear, accurate<br />
proof that our dogs and the many activities we promote are<br />
still of value today and are fun for all involved. I strive to<br />
give the dogs, the stock a voice, our voice; dogs love to work!<br />
Unfortunately, daily we face groups that think it is cruel to<br />
train a dog to track a lost child, give assistance to people,<br />
or work sheep in a calm and safe way; educate these people<br />
and groups that our dogs actually reduce the stressors more<br />
so than humans do when moving sheep. We also must look<br />
within ASCA and our breeders. Are they good people do they<br />
earn respect be they a judge or an exhibitor. Do they follow<br />
good rational animal care practices, are they honest in their<br />
dealings with the public and within ASCA. ASCA, the BOD?<br />
The membership must be above reproach.<br />
5. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (including<br />
committee work) you may have with ASCA at the national<br />
level.<br />
I started in ASCA in 1992; I joined TASC in Ontario and soon<br />
was the newsletter editor. I progressed and learned more;<br />
I joined the Bylaw committee and we founded the foreign<br />
registry to welcome back ASCA dogs who had fallen off<br />

pedigrees due to only being registered in AKC or CKC. The<br />
Obedience Committee where I helped in the development<br />
and participated in the first Obedience Finals. Joined the<br />
Conformation Committee and was active in all aspects of<br />
the committee. Currently I am on the Rally Committee and<br />
the tracking Committee. Now I am a Regular Rally Judge,<br />
Obedience Judge All Classes, and Conformation Provisional<br />
Breeder Judge. I have had the joy of judging all of my rings<br />
in Belgium, Germany, Canada, and the USA. I simply love to<br />
judge. I am involved in writing about my own experiences,<br />
photography, and painting.<br />
6. Briefly outline applicable leadership experience (offices and<br />
positions) you have held in ASCA affiliate clubs.<br />
My volunteerism with ASCA Affiliates VASE President, VP<br />
and Affiliate rep, ASC of MI active member and worker du<br />
jour, COASC Affiliate Rep, President and keeping the ASCA<br />
Aussie alive in Ontario, Canada. In CKC was also involved<br />

Director. I was Vice President for 10 years, and President for 2<br />
years, section Chair for 15 years in my local all breed Sudbury<br />
& District Kennel Club. Thank you for the consideration, I<br />
would be proud to serve.<br />
Jan Wesen<br />
1. Why would you consider yourself an asset to the ASCA Board<br />
of Directors?<br />
I have a well rounded background in the programs of ASCA.<br />
I believe in the versatile Aussie and making sure that all parts<br />
of the ASCA program can be the best that they can be. Work to<br />
communicate with other board members and ASCA members<br />
to develop solutions that will promote the Australian Shepherd. <br />
2. What do you hope to achieve in your term on the Board?<br />
I will continue the work positivity with the other board<br />
members and ASCA members to reach a stronger ASCA<br />
program financially and structurally. <br />

3. ASCA is a 501(c)-7 not-for-profit business classified as a<br />
social club. What qualities, abilities, and experiences do you<br />
posses that will aid in running ASCA and potentially improve<br />
it?<br />
As a dairy farmer, working in a family operation, we have<br />
to make hard decisions, as a family to make things work<br />
financially. I will make the tough decisions to make ASCA<br />
financial strong for the benefit of the Australian Shepherd<br />
working as a team. <br />
4. Briefly outline the direction you would like to see ASCA take.<br />
Board of directors set the policy as a group, as a member of<br />
the board of directors, I will work to set directives to make<br />
the breed better. I do believe that better communication with<br />
membership is important for the long-term benefit of the breed. <br />

I am running for a position on the ASCA Board of Director. I am semi retired and have put myself forward to run in<br />
the <strong>2018</strong> election. Some may know me from the decades I have been involved with Australian Shepherd and ASCA,<br />
others from competing in my rings either in obedience, rally, or conformation; still others may know me from my<br />
electronic persona on ASCA-L, Facebook, and in my short stories in the Aussie Times. l have had Aussies since<br />
1983, am now a life member of ASCA joining in I 992. Yes there will be more stories to tell to my extended family<br />
which is how I feel about ASCA.<br />
I have held so many jobs over my working life, raised two daughters as a single Mother for much of their early<br />
years, cook, to farmer, breeding dairy goats, training horses, installing furnaces, welding, operating heavy<br />
equipment, weather observer and part time airport manager, home renovations, plumbing and electrical, security<br />
guard at a uranium mine. Held many licenses too Oil Burner Mech. III, Gas Fitter II, Trade certificates in welding<br />
(gas, arc, mig) Licensed Lumber grader, Certified Heavy Equipment Operator, Shop Steward, Strike Captain, Joint<br />
Health and Safety Chair, Chief Steward, many safety courses about accident prevention. I hold a college Diploma in<br />
Graphic Design 2005 plus 6 University of Guelph general agriculture credits, Let me just say l can do most things<br />
that need doing.<br />
I am always willing to face new challenges. This past year I overcame my fear and picked up a chain saw, felled big<br />
trees and cut to stove length. I am not a political animal; I take people at face value, but never forget a transgression<br />
or unfair treatment of anyone. No I don’t hold grudges; life is too valuable to waste time on personal agendas. I<br />
prefer to facilitate learning and educating people about the options and engage others in open dialogue. Goal setting<br />
that is realistic and for the betterment of those involved. For example I took on the Chair of the All Breed CKC club<br />
Obedience section. It had been traditionally in the red for over a decade. The first goal was to break even, next year<br />
to also pay the sections share of the administrative costs. Then we rented a space to hold classes. When I retired from<br />
the position the Obedience section was holding 6 Obedience, 6 Agility, and 4 Rally trials pre year. The bottom line<br />
when I retired from the Chair position, the Obedience section was grossing over $130,000 per year had over $60,000<br />
in the bank for the purchase of a club owned facility. No I didn't do this alone; there were 8 founding people who<br />
worked as a harmonious group.<br />
I have watched for and spoken out against changes to animal bylaws, animal rights agendas, and see this as one of<br />
the biggest challenges faced by dog breeders, livestock farmers and ranchers, trappers, hunter, and traditional use of<br />
the lands. Animal Rights has invaded my own remote part of the world under the guise of Animal Welfare. ASCA<br />
needs to take this assault seriously. There is a choice to be made by ASCA to help our breeder members in all parts<br />
of the world. To find ways to allow inclusion of those in countries and regions with docking bans, establish open<br />
communication with these breeders who may face charges for docking their puppies. Our bylaws clearly state that a<br />
person found guilty of animal cruelty will be barred from ASCA, how will the next quality breeder who has their<br />
veterinarian turn them in to the SPCA be helped. What will happen if they are found guilty of the vague “causing<br />
distress to an animal” this is happening right now in several provinces in Canada; most notably a quality breeder of<br />
CKC boxers in Nova Scotia?<br />
In closing I hope I have given the members of ASCA some important issues to think about. I don't have the answers,<br />
but I hope to be able to work within the ASCA Board of Directors to continue to build the future of the versatile<br />
Australian Shepherd.<br />
Yours in Dogs<br />

After a long discussion and a lot of feedback from the<br />
membership, we presented a motion that passed the CC to deal with<br />
the wording on the judge test procedure.This motion is currently<br />
before the board for vote and by the time you read this it will have<br />
been voted on.<br />
We also listened to the membership about the test and that is<br />
currently under review by a sub-committee. The sub-committee<br />
will present the new tests to the board for review.<br />
Yes, I said new tests! We will have 2 different tests. The test<br />
will not have as many questions, but will have new and updated<br />
questions.<br />
The CC will continue to work on judge education along<br />
with the judge requirements. We hope to have a source for online<br />
education in the near future.<br />
The CC has several more projects in the works. One member<br />
took on the task of possible ways to update the judge books to work<br />
better. By the time you read this the CC will be discussing these<br />
changes. Another subject is the possibility of some sort of Grand<br />
Championship program.<br />
The CC would like to welcome Gail Karamalegos and Joyce<br />
Charron. We also say goodbye to Holly Clifton and thank her for<br />
her contributions to the CC.<br />
The CC gets many questions about judge and exhibitor ethics.<br />
For a judge, it can be tough to tell your friends not to show under<br />
you. ASCA is a tight-knit community and we all know one another.<br />
There are some simple rules to keep in mind when you accept<br />
an assignment. These are covered in Chapter 7, section 7.6. For<br />
exhibitors the rules are mirrored in Chapter 9, section 9.10.<br />
One situation that comes up is hiring a judge for a show (a<br />
business arrangement) and then said judge showing to the person<br />
that hired him/her before the accepted assignment. Now, there is not<br />
a rule that specifically covers this, except the business or contractual<br />
agreement the 2 people made when one hired the other. Ethically<br />
it does not look good and first and foremost we, as judges, must<br />
avoid any perceived improprieties.<br />
We ask that all exhibitors and judges read the rules, 7.6 and<br />
9.10 along with Appendix 3; ASCA Conformation Judge Education<br />
and the ASCA Judges Code of Ethics for a better understanding.<br />
A handy statement to remember is that there will always be “gray<br />
areas” that perplex judges. When faced with such a dilemma, ask<br />
yourself whether the situation, however innocent, maintains an<br />
outward appearance of propriety. A good rule of thumb is; if you<br />
have concerns about whether something is inappropriate, you<br />
probably should avoid the situation.<br />
As always, we ask you the membership, for ideas or comments<br />
on the conformation program.<br />

Time sure can sneak up on you ... Before you know it, it<br />
becomes “History.”<br />
Our Committee is making our final choices for the recipient of<br />
this years Lifetime Achievement Award. I wish we had more input<br />
from the membership ... I love it when we have names sent in of<br />
people you respect enough to have us consider them. Whether we<br />
end up selecting that nomination I feel it is an honor that they have<br />
made such an impression on people.<br />
There is quite a bit going on in ASCA these days, new<br />
programs, some updates to existing ones, rules being updated for<br />
others. Buy the time you’ll be reading this it will be almost time<br />
for Nationals entries to open, another year becomes history ... I<br />
look forward to seeing many of you in Colorado and wish all those<br />
who make the trip wonderful safe travel.<br />
Also we the members of the committee would like to invite<br />
you to join us if you have interest or info to share.<br />

Obedience Committee<br />
Marilyn Cherry, Committee Co-Chair, kamikaussie@yahoo.com<br />
The Board recently approved a motion to require all obedience<br />
judges to comply with the ASCA Obedience Judges Education<br />
certification program, beginning July 1, <strong>2018</strong>. ASCA Obedience<br />
judges are responsible for keeping up to date on the current rules and<br />
regulations affecting the ASCA Obedience program; materials are<br />
located on the ASCA website. Only rules contained in the current<br />
rulebook are enforceable. Obedience judges will be required to<br />
certify at least every three years that they have completed one of the<br />
required options for continuing judge education. Newly approved<br />
judges will be required to certify within 12 months of first being<br />
approved. All current ASCA Obedience judges must certify between<br />
July 1, <strong>2018</strong> and December 31, <strong>2018</strong> that they have completed the<br />
initial continuing judges education. Starting in 2021, a certification<br />
schedule will be followed so that not all judges renew at the same<br />
time. Judges will need to complete and submit the Obedience Judge<br />
Education Certification Form to the ASCA Business Office, which<br />
will track judging eligibility for all obedience judges. Judges that<br />
do not comply will be removed from the ASCA Obedience Judge<br />
list after two years.<br />
The following is intended to assist clubs in determining how<br />
to set entry limits for obedience trials. Premiums must state entry<br />
limits; these may be given as either maximum hours / trial / day, or<br />
as maximum entries / trial / day. Obedience judges may only judge<br />
for 8 hours per day, based on run estimates per class per hour (see<br />
below), unless they agree to judge longer. Estimates per class are<br />
as follows: Utility: 6; Open: 7; Novice: 8; and Beginner Novice:<br />
9 runs/hour. Note that the same dog entered in 2 classes (e.g. both<br />
Open and Utility) counts as 2 entries. These estimates include the<br />
extra time needed to judge the group exercises in a class. In large<br />
trials (such as National pre-trials), where a judge is assigned a single<br />
class for the day, they may judge the following maximum number<br />
of runs: Utility: 48; Open: 56; or Novice or Beginner Novice: 64<br />
entries.<br />
The obedience committee has put together a very handy time<br />
calculation worksheet, located on the ASCA website, found under:<br />
Competitive Programs / Obedience / Rules & Forms / Obedience<br />
Judge Time Calculation Worksheet. As entries arrive, the trial<br />
secretary enters the number of entries per class; the calculator will<br />
inform you the estimated time to judge all runs and when the limit<br />
has been reached.<br />
Looking beyond the numbers, there are other factors to<br />
consider. How many hours does the club have the trial site booked<br />
for? Keep in mind that set-up and tear-down will use up some of the<br />
club’s allotted time onsite. The judge will also expect a lunch break.<br />
For outdoor trials, how many hours of daylight are there at that time<br />
of year? How many volunteer helpers are available? If the club is<br />
hosting other events running simultaneously or consecutively on<br />
the same day, rings may be held up due to conflicts.<br />
Are you familiar with the judge? If so, you may know<br />
whether they are generally efficient at moving their ring along<br />
at a fair clip, or if they a little slower than normal. Provisional or<br />
apprentice judges will usually take longer, as they have additional<br />
documentation to fill out.<br />
Are the ring stewards experienced and prompt, good at<br />
anticipating when Figure 8 posts are needed, when jumps need to<br />
be changed, when to bring the leash / dumbbell / gloves / scent<br />
50 AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
Committee Reports<br />
articles into the ring, and when to line up teams for the group stays?<br />
Stewards that are new to obedience will probably require a little<br />
guidance.<br />
If you are familiar with the competitors in the area, you may be<br />
able to anticipate whether a number of handlers will have conflicts,<br />
and whether the majority of runs are expected to be in the upper<br />
class levels or the lower class levels (Novice and Beginner Novice<br />
move along more quickly than Open and Utility). Remember that<br />
move-ups to a higher class will mean more time in the ring for<br />
that dog, who is now in a higher-level class that takes longer to<br />
complete.<br />
We always welcome your input on any aspect of the ASCA<br />
obedience program – this is your program. You may write to the<br />
Obedience rules io group, ASCA-Obedience-Rules@groups.<br />
io; or contact Laurie Rubin, Obedience Committee Chair, at<br />
earthlaurie@sonic.net; or Marilyn Cherry, Obedience Co-Chair,<br />
at kamikaussie@yahoo.com.<br />
Rally Committee<br />
Corinne Shank, Committee Chair. gckennel@aol.com<br />
Hopefully everyone has now seen the new rally signs,<br />
and started practicing them! Some are fun, some may be very<br />
challenging to handlers as well as dogs. They are a great addition<br />
to the ASCA Rally program, and we are looking forward to seeing<br />
new fun courses come <strong>June</strong>.<br />
If you are a member of a club that hosts rally trials,d please<br />
remember to print the large signs prior to <strong>June</strong> 1 st . The file on the<br />
website lists only the new signs in large size, so that you do not<br />
need to sort for the new signs.<br />
For those thinking ahead toward finals in Colorado, the decision<br />
was made by the Committee to NOT use the <strong>2018</strong> signs on the<br />
courses, since the dogs that qualified had not seen those signs yet.<br />
The new signs can be used in the Pre-shows, and in the Nationals<br />
trials.<br />
While everyone is looking forward to those new signs, some<br />
judges are a little nervous about spacing, and including them on<br />
their courses. What looks to be a beautiful course on paper can be<br />
found to simply not work when laid out on the course. That leaves<br />
the judge trying to figure out what can be done to make it work,<br />
without delaying the trial. The best way to avoid this situation is to<br />
send courses for prior approval. The Review Committee is happy to<br />
review courses in advance of your trial. This removes the concerns<br />
when setting up the course.<br />
Some of the new signs were designed to allow more directional<br />
changes. They have been needed for many years, and will allow<br />
judges more flexibility in course design. Judges are reminded,<br />
however, that the path must allow the stated degree of direction<br />
change to the path of the team. And as always, when exiting a<br />
station, the number for the next sign must be directly in front of the<br />
team. New moving signs were added for all levels that provide some<br />
fresh alternatives. Many of the upper level signs are intended as<br />
baby steps for obedience, and to add some of the newer elements of<br />
obedience. The Rally Committee hopes that judges and contestants<br />
enjoy these new signs.<br />
Some of the new signs will require more space on the course.<br />
Again, what looks good on paper may not work when laid out on<br />
the course. Care must be taken to assure there is adequate space
Committee Reports<br />
for all exercises. Another reason to have courses pre-approved so Tracking Committee<br />
you can enjoy your judging experience.<br />
Beth MacLehose, CommitteeChair, bmaclehose@gmail.com<br />
The education videos demonstrating correct performances of The tracking committee has been cleaning up the rule book.<br />
the old and new signs has been completed, but completing all of the This includes changing the distance between tracks from 75 yards<br />
work associated with posting them on the web is taking much longer to 50 yards to give clubs more room to put in tracks. The 50 yard<br />
than anticipated. If there is anyone out there with computer skills distance has worked well for AKC and not caused any problems<br />
that enjoys working on the computer, the committee would welcome so we felt it would help our clubs who want to be able to put in as<br />
the assistance. The process is slowed because we only have 1 person many tracks as possible.<br />
on the committee with such skills. This is your chance to use those We also cleaned up the language around judge requirements<br />
skills that your real job just doesn’t utilize.<br />
and made sure they were included in the rule book, not just the<br />
The ASCA Template for course building is an Excel appendix.<br />
spreadsheet, that works well if you have access to excel, and We are currently wrapping up a motion to allow dogs to wear<br />
know the basics. There are a few little tricks that that are a little protective foot wear and coats. This will help other breed dogs<br />
beyond basic, that prove very helpful when building courses. When tracking in areas with rugged cover/poor weather. This will also<br />
you know what key to press, magic things can happen that make help aussies who may be traveling long distance for a test and not<br />
your life so much easier. Some of these little tricks can also help be acclimated to the conditions in the new area. It will also make<br />
avoid having an illegal course by using the same excellent signs more tracking venues available to use that without protection may<br />
on the Masters and Excellent courses. The committee is happy have been deemed too rough or dangerous.<br />
to work with any judges who would like a little assistance with We are also continuing to discuss an introduction/beginning<br />
course building. Please email Corinne Shanks, ASCA Rally Chair, tracking title to try and encourage more activity in tracking in the<br />
gckennel@aol.com.<br />
ASCA community.<br />
If you need help putting on a tracking event, please contact<br />
any committee member, we would love to help you.<br />

2017 and 2014 ASCA National Superdog Champion<br />

CGC, AHBA/HRD-llls, HTAD-llls, RLF lll, HTD-ld – Cheyenne<br />
Cheyenne and I were honored to win the 2017 ASCA National<br />
Superdog Championship in Texas last fall at the ASCA Nationals.<br />
We are the second dog/handler to win this Championship twice<br />
in ASCA Obedience history, having also won it in 2014. It was<br />
wonderful experience and one that I will never forget. My goal was<br />
to “qualify” on each and every exercise. That we did.<br />
Cheyenne is a fantastic Australian Shepherd in the truest sense.<br />
She loves working cattle and sheep, she’s super dependable in<br />
agility and loves the sport of obedience, if she can’t be working<br />
cows. And loves her family completely. Since she has turned 12<br />
years old last week (March 13th), we are semi-retired from stock<br />
and agility. Our ASCA OTCH5 was completed at Nationals.<br />
I am forever grateful to Jamie Burns of Cut’n Loose Stockdogs for<br />
allowing me the joy of having Cheyenne as a vital member of The<br />
Franks’ Gang. I am also very thankful to all of the mentors who have<br />
taught, advised, and encouraged us along the way.<br />
Thank you, Cheyenne! I truly love you and so very very proud to call<br />
you mine. Shetland Sheepdog brother “Rider” agrees! : )<br />

Australian Shepherd Versatility Association (ASVA)<br />
Elke Philippy, Affiliate Representative, indiana-aussie@web.de<br />
Greetings from the Australian Shepherd Versatility Association<br />
(ASVA) in Germany. We had a very nice ASCA year in 2017 with<br />
some nice events and are looking forward to the same fun in <strong>2018</strong>!<br />
In 2017 we were able to host an agility weekend (2 trials) in March<br />
with wonderful Michael Black. Our ASVA Mega Event in <strong>May</strong><br />
included an agility trial, as well as one rally and obedience trial each<br />
and 3 conformation shows with junior showmanship, with our great<br />
judges Peggy Meersman (we were honored to invite her to her very<br />
first agility judging assignment), Leah Swatko, Denise Creelman<br />
and Leslie Creelman Sosa. A rally (two trials) and obedience<br />
(one trial) weekend was hosted with fantastic Guenter Geisel in<br />
September. And for the first time our club hosted additionally a<br />
3 conformation shows with junior showmanship weekend in the<br />
south of Germany with amazing Ron Moden, Heather Braddock<br />
and Leah Swatko and also with a nice raffle and generous donors<br />
in favor of ASHGI.<br />
Following our general meeting in November we organized a<br />
seminar to judicial subjects for breeders and stud owners with a<br />
reputable attorney specialized around breeding issues.<br />
Also <strong>2018</strong> did already begin pretty sporty with our first<br />
agility weekend (2 trials) with adorable Sherry Butler in February.<br />
And there are already some other dates fixed as our next ASVA<br />
Mega Event (3 conformation shows with junior showmanship<br />
and one rally and obedience trial each) in April, a rally and<br />
obedience weekend in September and again a conformation/junior<br />
showmanship weekend in December.<br />
We want to thank you all those amazing judges that followed<br />
our invitations and made our events a big success, the members<br />
that served and do serve the club board, as well as all the club<br />
members, friendly clubs and all other helping hands, sponsors and<br />
vendors that made our events run smooth and successful. This is<br />
so much appreciated as this is not to shoulder by only a couple of<br />
board members – thanks folks!!!<br />
Please safe our club dates and/or sign up for our newsletter on<br />

Hello from colorful Colorado. CASA was busy in 2017 and<br />
expects to be even busier in <strong>2018</strong>. CASA hosted a number of<br />
conformation shows, rally, obedience and stock trials/clinics in<br />

Memorial Classic, where we will have 3 Obedience Trials, 3 Rally<br />

will be hosting its very first Ranch Trial in conjunction with its<br />
Rocky Mountain Roundup Stock Trial, August 2-5, Followed by<br />
an Obedience/Rally Trial and 3 Conformation shows, August 11<br />

2017 was a quieter year for COASC than previous years, with<br />
our President struggling with a health crisis all year. We’re a small,<br />
young club and each Board member is vital to our success. While we<br />
weren’t able to organize events to the extent that we did the previous<br />
year, the Board and members rallied and put on a successful Spring<br />
Fling conformation weekend of 3 shows. COASC also modified<br />
its by-laws and held nominations and elections in the fall, and we<br />
collectively gathered our optimism for a renewed <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
As I write this, COASC’s show committee is busy preparing<br />
for our annual Spring Fling conformation show, which promises<br />
to be bigger and better than ever. We’ve committed to an all-<br />
ASCA breeder judge panel this year. For the first time, we sought<br />
sponsorship of classes for our show, which was well received and<br />
funded by the membership. We’re thrilled with the support – when<br />
you’re a small club, every penny counts.<br />
COASC is also busy planning educational events for the year<br />
– perhaps a herding instinct test is in the near future.<br />
We’re off to a fresh, fun start in <strong>2018</strong> and encourage you to<br />
visit our website at www.centralontarioasc.com.<br />
Dutch Working Australian Shepherds<br />
Anneke de Jong, Affiliate Representative, jjranch@hetnet.nl<br />
Hello from The Netherlands: 2017 was another good year for<br />
our club.<br />
We started with stock trials in <strong>May</strong> with judges Sandra Zilch<br />
and Anneke de Jong. It was the first trial in Europe with just<br />
European judges.<br />
Of course, just before the trials the fox came and took most of<br />
the ducks. Thanks to Silke and Jule we still had a trial with ducks,<br />
Silke took a bunch of the stinking critters in her car. She had to<br />
drive a couple of hours to get here.<br />
Stock trials in <strong>June</strong> our judge was Robyn Johnson- Garrett.<br />
We also organized farm trials on all stock again.<br />
Our stock trials in September were judged by Maarten Walter.<br />
For the first time we handed out beautiful bronze statues of an<br />
Australian Shepherd as a year-end award. The winners were:<br />
• High Combined Started: Silke Jungeling and Moonrise a<br />
Secret pleasure<br />
• High Combined Non WTCH: Shirley de Boer and Jolly<br />
Sox des Compagnons du Berger<br />
• High Combined WTCH: Kay Pieper and Doc Piepers Tio<br />
Pepe<br />
This really made for a nice competition and we plan to hand<br />
this out every year.<br />
New WTCH dogs this year were;<br />
• Nina Krammer & Black Rebel of Mi Sombra<br />
• Jasmin Daniel & S Bar L Negev<br />
• Heike Gessler & Muddy Fields Blixen<br />
• Shirley de Boer & Jolly Sox des Compagnons du Berger<br />
• Sandra Zilch & Crown Point S Bar L McMahon<br />
• Kay Pieper & Doc Piepers Hija del Cortador<br />
Affiliate News<br />
We are always grateful for the American judges willing to<br />
take the time to fly over here. Long days combined with the jetleg<br />
takes a person with a lot of interest in the dogs.<br />
Many trials planned again for <strong>2018</strong>. We will also host the<br />
European MVA Championship again.<br />
This event is getting bigger every time we organize. It takes<br />
a lot of planning and volunteers to make it happen. This year we<br />
will do 2 conformationshows, 2 agility trials, 2 obedience trials,<br />
2 rally trials and 8 stockdog trials in <strong>May</strong>. Judges are Richard<br />
Pittman, David Clayton and Rick Hardin. Just in case, Anneke de<br />
Jong will be overflow judge.<br />
There are some great buckles made by Fabrizio in Italy for<br />
places one, two and three, and of course the engraved plate for the<br />
winner donated by the Carrillo family.<br />
Hope to see everybody and maybe some new faces this<br />
year! Check out our website www.dwas.nl.<br />

Southern Colorado Australian Shepherd Club (SCASC) started<br />
our year in 2017 with our “Red Flannel Show” weekend in January,<br />
as we’ve done for over 10 years now. Two all-breed rally trials on<br />
Saturday started the weekend, judged by Janice Dearth who traveled<br />
from Texas to bring some very challenging courses to us. Never a<br />
dull moment in the rally ring when Janice is in charge! We wrapped<br />
up on Sunday with two well-attended conformation shows. Nice to<br />
see some of the same dogs in the conformation ring and the rally<br />
ring!<br />
Our March “Kiss the Blarney Stone” weekend was a great<br />
success, if club-member exhaustion by the end of the weekend is a<br />
legitimate way to measure success! Saturday offered one obedience<br />
trial and two rally trials – that is a VERY long day! Sunday offered<br />
two conformation shows to round out the weekend.<br />
With the increased interest in the sport of Rally Obedience,<br />
we tried adding a one-day trial in April. We located a facility in<br />
Lakewood, Colorado that has padded flooring so we didn’t have<br />
to haul our club trailer with mats and spend hours setting up rings.<br />
It was a huge success! Our numbers of other breeds participating<br />
in ASCA rally and obedience are increasing; we are known as “the<br />
fun club” for trials!<br />
SCASC worked alongside Colorado Australian Shepherd<br />
Association (CASA) to put on a 4-day Memorial Day Classic<br />
weekend event in Kiowa, Colorado, which offered exhibitors<br />
conformation, agility, rally, obedience, and stock competitions,<br />
as well as MVA and MJA competition, and finishing with a Best<br />
in Show weekend award. People travel from all over the U.S. to<br />
compete at our Memorial Day Weekend shows and trials.<br />
Our educational event was a summer day of herding instinct<br />
testing, held at a local stock trainer’s ranch near Elizabeth,<br />
Colorado. So many sheep – so little time!! At least that’s what the<br />
dogs seemed to be thinking. They loved it, and as a result, many<br />
are actively taking lessons in herding or trialing their dogs.<br />
We hosted a Rally Pre-Trial at the 2017 Nationals in Texas, with<br />
a “Sunflower Extravaganza” theme. Club members worked hard for<br />
months in advance, culminating in a well-run, well-attended and<br />
successful rally trial. Our beautiful sunflower-colored rosettes were<br />
a huge hit! We must have done a good job, because the Nationals<br />
60 AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
committee has asked us to host another rally pre-trial at the <strong>2018</strong><br />
Nationals in Greeley, Colorado, to be held on Saturday, September<br />
22, <strong>2018</strong>. We’ll see all you rally enthusiasts there!!<br />
SCASC’s website is going through an overhaul and should be<br />
up and running in April. Stop by and check us out!<br />

Kay Pieper, Affiliate Representative, docpieper@me.com<br />
In 2017 WEWASC hosted numerous ASCA Stockdog trials<br />
and several ASCA agility events. The club also sponsored a free<br />
blood draw for MDR and DNA testing. The club and its members<br />
offered numerous clinics to Aussie enthusiasts with instructors<br />
from Europe and abroad.<br />
Affiliate News<br />
For <strong>2018</strong> multiple stockdog and agility trials are planned and<br />
most of them already organized. For more information go to www.<br />
wewasc.com.<br />
Some WEWASC members made it to Bryan and competed<br />
in the Ginals, the nationals and in MVA. A great organization,<br />
overwhelming hospitality and awesome trial grounds made this<br />
trip exceptional for all of us. Our dogs did great and earned us<br />
placings in the pretrials, the nationals and the Finals. We brought<br />
home some awesome buckles and even the Finals duck champion<br />
title !<br />
Finals <strong>2018</strong> is on the agenda of some of us europeans, so<br />
hopefully we will meet you in Colorado!<br />

NEW OBEDIENCE HONOR DOG<br />
AFTERALL OAK&ASH MAKER OF MISCHIEF – “LOKI"<br />
Greater Atlanta ASC Nov 11, 2017 BN 196.0 Judge Elaine LeRoy<br />

Greater Atlanta ASC Jan 5, <strong>2018</strong> BN 196.5 Judge Renee Watson<br />
Loki is my first ASCA Honor Dog. In all honesty, I didn’t think he was ready to show in either Obedience or Rally; I<br />
entered him to boost entry numbers and help the club break even on two smaller than usual trial weekends. He<br />
performed beyond my expectations, particularly at the January Paw Thaw 18 shows hosted by Greater Atlanta ASC,<br />
earning scores of 199, 200, and 199 his first times in Rally Novice to earn the titles of RN and RNX, placing 1st both<br />
times he was entered in Obedience Novice B, earning his BN title as an Honor Dog, and also claiming the Novice Hot<br />
Paw Championship rosette for earning the highest combined score in Novice Obedience across the trial weekend.<br />
Not too shabby for a 20 month old goofy red dog! Thank you to his breeders, Janet Kelly, Janet Walden-West, and<br />
Melinda Vinson, for entrusting me with this budding champion. Watch for Loki competing in the Obedience, Rally,<br />
and Conformation rings in the future.<br />

Can you please tell me if any lab that you<br />
know is doing a study regarding PRA in<br />
Australian Shepherds? I am told there us<br />
a study out there saying that Australian<br />
Shepherds do not carry PRA in their lines<br />
and that it is only a Mini Aussie/Mini<br />
American disorder due to mixed breeding.<br />
Please explain.<br />
I am not aware of any scientist doing<br />
a study on PRA in Aussies at present.<br />
Aussies do sometimes (it is rare) have<br />
a type of PRA called progressive rod cone<br />
degeneration (prcd). The gene for the prcd<br />
form of PRA was discovered in 2005 at<br />
Cornell University during research on other<br />
breeds. Optigen, Cornell’s commercial<br />
DNA testing lab, offers tests arising from<br />
their research and sometimes licenses those<br />
tests to other labs. Optigen will test samples<br />
from dogs clinically diagnosed with PRA<br />
for free to determine which of the many<br />
forms of PRA the dog might have.<br />
In 2006 a PRA-diagnosed Aussie’s<br />
sample was sent to them. They found it had<br />
two copies of the prcd mutation and started<br />
offering the prcd/PRA test for Aussies in<br />
November of that year. Many labs around<br />
the world have been offering it for a number<br />
of years, though not all offer a licensed<br />
version of the test.<br />
According to Optigen’s CEO, Sue<br />
Pierce-Kelling, they have received five<br />
cases of Aussies diagnosed with PRA by<br />
veterinary ophthalmologists that were<br />
confirmed by DNA testing to have prcd-<br />
PRA. They also have eight samples from<br />
PRA-diagnosed Aussies that do not have<br />
74 AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
prcd or any other known form of PRA.<br />
What form these dogs might have has not<br />
been determined. It is possible for a single<br />
breed to have more than one form but at<br />
this point we can’t say that’s the case for<br />
Aussies.<br />
If you are concerned that your dog<br />
might have or carry PRA (signs typically<br />
don’t show in Aussies until the dog is 4-6<br />
years old), get the test.<br />
As for Minis, they do share early<br />
background with Aussies. I used to take a<br />
junior handler to shows with me back in<br />
the 1980s who had an obedience dog that<br />
was 12” and she was by no means the only<br />
small Aussie around from at least the 1970s<br />
– maybe before, too, but I wasn’t involved<br />
then. In the late 1990s and early 2000s Mini<br />
breeders did considerable back-crossing to<br />
smaller Aussies to improve type, so since<br />
the present-day breeds are kissing cousins,<br />
it isn’t any surprise that the two might share<br />
some of the same diseases.<br />
Prcd is the most common form of PRA<br />
and found in a wide variety of breeds. This<br />
indicates the mutation has been around for<br />
a long, long time. Much longer than there<br />
have been either Aussies or Minis.<br />
I saw somewhere you told someone, “They<br />
are both carrying genes for it. It is not a<br />
dominant trait, so two dogs that do not<br />
have it can easily produce it.” Can you<br />
explain this sentence?<br />
Well, it’s a touch out of context and<br />
I don’t recall the specific conversation or<br />
e-mail exchange, never mind what “it” is. I<br />
was apparently responding to someone who<br />
got something they didn’t want out of two<br />
parents that don’t have the trait in question.<br />
Whatever the trait was, it is either recessive<br />
or polygenetic. If a trait is single-gene<br />
dominant it can come from only one parent<br />
but, with rare exceptions, that parent would<br />
have it too. The HSF4 cataract mutation, a<br />
dominant, is one of the exceptions because<br />
it is only a risk factor so not every dog that<br />
has it gets cataracts.<br />
To produce something that is not<br />
dominant – which is the case with the vast<br />
majority of traits you do not see in either<br />
parent – both parents have to contribute<br />
genes for it. If it’s a single gene recessive,<br />
each parent would be a carrier, as with<br />
red color or defects like CEA. If it has<br />
complex inheritance (multiple genes) the<br />
parents’ contributions could be anywhere<br />
from 50/50 to 99/1 but there is no way to<br />
tell for sure how much a particular parent<br />
contributed. Not with genetic science where<br />
it sits right now, anyway.<br />
I’m a budding Aussie breeder with one<br />
litter under my belt. My male is black<br />
and my female blue merle. One of their<br />
puppies was a red merle, which means<br />
that dad is red-factored, right?<br />
Since one was red I decided to keep<br />
her. I won’t breed until after she turns<br />
two but I already got her a mate. My<br />
choice might not have been such a good<br />
one. I thought he was a red tri and the<br />
veterinarian of the breeder listed him that<br />
way, but a DNA test said he’s cryptic merle.<br />
I read on your website that a cryptic merle<br />
with a merle can have double merles. So<br />
now what do I do?<br />
First off, if you got a red puppy out<br />
of a blue and a black then BOTH of them<br />
are carrying red. You don’t get red unless<br />
both parents have at least one copy of the<br />
red version of the gene.<br />
About cryptic merle – merle is a weird<br />
gene that does some unusual things.If<br />
your new boy appears to be a red tri but is<br />
genetically cryptic there is a possibility he<br />
could produce typical double-merle pups<br />
(lots of white, hearing and eye defects) if<br />
bred to a merle or another cryptic. However,<br />
the risk (3%) is low. It could happen but it<br />
probably won’t.

Border Collie Collapse (BCC)<br />
Q&A<br />
NOTE: This was formerly called Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC). The<br />
new name has been given to distinguish between the similar disease<br />
in Labradors, for which a gene has been identified, and the condition<br />
seen In herding dogs, including Aussies. It is extremely frequent in<br />
Border Collies, which is what led to the name.<br />
To identify genes responsible for causing BCC in Australian Shepherds,<br />
Border Collies and other breeds in order to develop a DNA screening<br />
test.<br />

For information on other studies looking for samples from Aussies, go to:<br />
www.ashgi.org/home-page/how-you-can-help/research-support/current-research-for-aussies<br />
If you breed her to a non-merle you<br />
will probably get a litter that appears to<br />
be all non-merle or maybe mostly nonmerle<br />
with a few identifiable cryptics that<br />
have one or a few small merle spots. The<br />
question you need to answer for yourself is<br />
how much risk are you comfortable with? If<br />
you can’t bear the possibility that you might<br />
produce a double merle, then don’t breed<br />
the new boy to your red merle girl. If you<br />
are willing to chance a rather low risk, then<br />
go ahead. For more on cryptic merle see:<br />
http://www.ashgi.org/home-page/geneticsinfo/coat-color/cryptic-merles<br />
So how do I use COI information? What<br />
COI should a dog have? Do you need to<br />
seek mates that are “lower” on the issue<br />
scale AND will produce a lower COI litter?<br />
Can I use it to dilute the risk for bad stuff?<br />
Use coefficients of inbreeding (COI)<br />
as a yardstick to track inbreeding levels in<br />
your breeding program. While you might<br />
have an excellent reason to do a high-COI<br />
cross, you want the overall trend to be<br />
steady or even down, not up.<br />
If we were in a perfect world – which<br />
this decidedly is not – COI should be<br />
no more than 6.5%. In the real world,<br />
we need to keep in mind that the breed<br />
average is around 12.5% – the same as a<br />
half-brother/sister cross. Try not to exceed<br />
breed average. Go lower if you can. If you<br />
get below 10% you are doing well for this<br />
breed at this point in time.<br />
COI is a measure of probability that<br />
any given gene will be homozygous by<br />
descent. In other words, if WTCH OTCH<br />
ATCH IntCh Bigbucks Studly TDX UDX<br />
is a double grandsire and he is the only<br />
common ancestors in the whole pedigree<br />
except for his own pedigree for ten<br />
generations, your dog would have a COI<br />
of 12.5% and you’d have a one-in-eight<br />
probability of getting a double dose of any<br />
one of his genes. Since he has around 19K,<br />
genes, you will double up on quite a few.<br />
For the good things, that’s wonderful, But<br />
ol’ Studly will have a few bad ones lurking<br />
around his genome just as every dog does<br />
so you stand a chance of getting a pair of<br />
one or more of them, too. COI can’t predict<br />
which genes will double-up, just that some<br />
will. The higher the COI, the larger the<br />
number that are homozygous so the greater<br />
the risk that some of those pairs might not<br />
be so good.<br />
Of course, most pedigrees aren’t that<br />
simple. You can have multiple common<br />
ancestors often appearing more than once<br />
on each side and in different generations.<br />
This is why it takes a computer to calculate<br />
COI. Use ten generations because adding<br />
generations beyond that rarely makes a<br />
significant difference in the result and doing<br />
fewer makes the number artificially low.<br />
By lowering COI you might lower<br />
risk for doubling up on things, but if you<br />
are looking at a specific trait you want to<br />
eliminate, like HD, you need to research<br />
pedigrees for that rather than depend<br />
on a low COI to avoid it. If you breed a<br />
dysplastic Aussie to a dysplastic Labrador<br />
the litter will have a zero COI but will likely<br />
include dysplastic offspring.<br />
Breeding is a complex business. There<br />
is no one magic bullet that will guarantee<br />
everything will come out the way you want<br />
it to. For COI – all other things being equal<br />
– try not to produce a litter with a higher<br />
COI than the average of the two parents’<br />
COIs. Example: If sire is 12.5% and dam<br />
is 23.0%, you would want the litter to be<br />
no more than 17.8%.<br />
A really good young stud dog that does a<br />
lot of winning could conceivably produce<br />
hundreds of puppies. Can’t this be a<br />
problem if it turns out down the line that<br />
he carries genes for something we can’t<br />
test or screen for? What’s the best way to<br />
manage a dog like this?<br />
This risk is something a stud owner<br />
needs to take into account if she has a<br />
superior young male and lots of bitch<br />
owners clamoring to breed their girls to<br />
him. Every dog carries some genes for<br />
something you don’t’ want, whether for<br />
structure, behavior or health. Overuse of<br />
studs – usually excellent individuals with<br />
stellar show or performance careers – has<br />
led to significant increase in a genetic<br />
disease in many breeds, including this<br />
one. This isn’t restricted to dogs; if you<br />
know Quarter Horses, think of the stallion<br />
Impressive. The quickest way to make a<br />
rare disease common is a popular sire.<br />
It is best to start any young male’s<br />
stud career by breeding him to bitches<br />
who have had a couple litters so you have<br />
an idea what they are apt to produce. This<br />
way you can judge his contribution more<br />
clearly. If they are your own, even better<br />
because you will have a better chance of<br />
following those pups as they mature. Once<br />
you know his qualities aren’t skin deep you<br />

will also be better able to determine which<br />
bitches have potential for a good match and<br />
which to pass on. That way you can reduce<br />
the risk that your boy may have hundreds<br />
of pups on the ground before you’ve got a<br />
hot mess on your hands.<br />

I have a pup diagnosed with very minor<br />
PHPV/PTVL in one eye. Her vison isn’t<br />
affected. The specialist said she’ll be OK<br />
to breed but to line-breed to determine if<br />
she’ll produce affected pups. He also said<br />
to have her retested by another specialist.<br />
I am currently breeding her to her<br />
half-brother and will test all the pups at<br />
6-8 weeks. I am looking for some more<br />
knowledge/experience with PHPV/PTVL<br />
in Aussies. I am hopeful as it isn’t thought<br />
to be hereditary.<br />
I would definitely suggest that you<br />
get that second opinion. If the second vet<br />
clears her I wouldn’t worry about it unless<br />
she produces it herself.<br />
PHPV/PTVL is inherited. Whether<br />
you will or won’t get it in the litter with<br />
the half-brother is hard to say because we<br />
don’t know exactly how it is inherited. If<br />
the half-brother does not happen to have<br />
inherited any genes for it, you won’t get<br />
it even if she does have the genes. If the<br />
inheritance is complex (multiple genes<br />
and possibly gene-regulating DNA) you<br />
might not have the right mix between the<br />
two for any pups to be affected.<br />
If you do get one or more pups with<br />
PHPV/PTVL in the litter your girl should<br />
not be bred again nor should the affected<br />
puppies. If the puppies are OK, they should<br />
not be bred to mates with a family history of<br />
this condition For a little more info about<br />

I’ve heard it said that you blame epilepsy<br />
all on [famous kennel] and you are trying<br />
to ruin it. How could you say such a thing!<br />
Because I didn’t. I have never blamed<br />
any single line or dog for the presence of<br />
epilepsy in this breed.<br />
From the time that people first started<br />
to discuss epilepsy as a serious breed health<br />
issue back in the 1990s they tried to point<br />
at particular dogs as The Source. There<br />
was a well-known dog from the kennel<br />
you named that did produce a few epileptic<br />
Q&A<br />
pups out of many, many offspring. The stud<br />
owner didn’t deny it, which is more that I<br />
can say for some people both then and now.<br />
At this point that dog is so far back in the<br />
pedigrees his individual contribution to any<br />
present cases of epilepsy is only one piece<br />
of a big puzzle. The dams of those epileptic<br />
pups also brought something to the table or<br />
it wouldn’t have happened, nor were these<br />
the only cases of the disease back then.<br />
There are also plenty of epileptic dogs that<br />
do not have that dog or his near kin in their<br />
pedigrees at all.<br />
The two cases that jump-started the<br />
public discussion of epilepsy in this breed<br />
were only distantly related to the line you<br />
mention. A memorial ad appeared in the<br />
1994 Sept/Oct issue of the Aussie Times<br />
for a bitch named Blackshire’s Cheyenne<br />
Maiden stating she died of epilepsy and<br />
offering a brief pedigree. At about the same<br />
time, Ann DeChant came forward publicly<br />
about an epilepsy disaster litter she had.<br />
These two events are what started the stillcontentious<br />
conversation about epilepsy in<br />
this breed.<br />
People naturally want to know why<br />
something goes terribly wrong and some<br />
seek a scapegoat. Early on some insisted<br />
it was all from another kennel that was<br />
prominent in the 1980s. Or they blamed<br />
Flintridge (and try to avoid that in your<br />
pedigrees!). When I heard stockdog people<br />
arguing it was a show dog thing I rather<br />
enjoyed pointing out that there are dogs<br />
behind Flintridge that are also behind a<br />
number of the working lines. Some tried<br />
to blame Sisler’s John, presumably because<br />
nobody knows what his background was.<br />
(There was a simultaneous rumor floating<br />
about John that he was a Rough Collie. Not<br />
hardly. Take a look at a picture of him.)<br />
The fact is that once people – some at<br />
least – stopped denying and started sharing<br />
information it was obvious that epilepsy<br />
had been occurring for a long time and was<br />
not impacting only a single line of dogs.<br />
Not a great deal has changed over the<br />
years. Some people are firmly locked in<br />
denial and simply do not wish to listen.<br />
Some take up epilepsy denial as a cause.<br />
There isn’t much to do with that but let<br />
them rant and keep patiently explaining<br />
things to those who will hear.<br />

ARPH Update<br />
Aussie Rescue & Placement Helpline<br />

Rescue Myths<br />
When I adopted my first ARPH dog, I was not<br />
surprised by comments from people who weren’t<br />
familiar with our breed; a lot of them insisted he was<br />
a Siberian Husky mix because his eyes had blue or<br />
was an Australian Cattle Dog because he was merle. However, I was<br />
quite surprised when knowledgeable Aussie friends wanted to know<br />
how such a good-looking and friendly dog wound up in rescue.<br />
One former junior shower was amazed when I brought over one of<br />
my foster dogs on a home visit, saying she couldn’t believe how<br />
nice and sweet this girl was. I<br />
realized with these statements<br />
that there are some notions<br />
about rescue dogs and rescue<br />
out there, and they aren’t all<br />
quite true. Let us examine some<br />
of the common misconceptions<br />
about rescue and see if we can<br />
bust a few myths.<br />
MYTH: You never know where rescues come from.<br />
A lot of people wonder where ARPH gets its dogs. Basically<br />
it boils down to two sources, a shelter release or an owner release.<br />
Shelter dogs are usually strays or impounded dogs whose people<br />
never showed up to claim them or were unable to claim them (such<br />
as in court cases where the dog is taken away for cruelty or neglect),<br />
or surrendered by their owners for various reasons. ARPH sees<br />
some of the same reasons for an owner release dog: life changes<br />
such as moving, divorce, death, having babies or discovering an<br />
allergy or that Aussies are too high octane for their lifestyle.<br />
In the case of owners who approach rescue about placement,<br />
sometimes ARPH actually helps them keep their Aussies. The best<br />
home for that dog may be the one he or she is in. Oftentimes owners<br />
just need a little advice on how to tackle situations with their dogs<br />
and they don’t really want to give up their animals. ARPH also<br />
asks that if there is a known source such as a breeder or a shelter<br />
that has a return clause that the owners contact those parties. Most<br />
responsible breeders care about the dogs they’ve produced and will<br />
either take a dog back or help find a suitable home, perhaps with<br />
someone on their waiting list who wants an older pup or dog.<br />
Sometimes the Aussie needs a new place but can stay in its<br />
current home until placed. This is nice for the dog since it does not<br />
Let us examine some of the common<br />
misconceptions about rescue and see<br />
if we can bust a few myths.<br />
We are the ARPH Team . . . Together Everyone Achieves More.<br />
have the disruption of being moved around. It is also very helpful<br />
for ARPH since foster homes are always at a premium. Rescue will<br />
advertise the dog and screen potential adopters, and essentially act<br />
as a referral service. Any transaction is between the new adopter<br />
and the owner, but of course donations for ARPH’s help are always<br />
appreciated!<br />
Many people contact rescue because they’ve found a stray, but<br />
ARPH cannot just take these Aussies because there is a due process.<br />
Shelters cannot release a dog until the legal stray hold period is<br />
up and they become the official<br />
owners. Private parties who’ve<br />
found an Aussie and “don’t<br />
want to take it to the pound” still<br />
need to register the dog with<br />
the appropriate animal control<br />
agency and advertise so if the<br />
owner is looking, the dog can<br />
be found. ARPH representatives<br />
often direct finders to additional resources such as the k9 Amber<br />
Alert list or Petfinder’s free classifieds.<br />
MYTH: Dogs from rescue are all from mills or irresponsible<br />
breeders.<br />
Aussies from these sources are unfortunately over-represented<br />
in the rescue population because unlike the aforementioned<br />
responsible breeders, these producers don’t care as much about<br />
what happens to their dogs once sold. Many rescue volunteers<br />
know who the “backyard breeders” churning out puppies in their<br />
area are. These people often don’t know or care about the breed<br />
standard (some may market double merles as “rare white” Aussies),<br />
may have no clue what MDR1 or HSF4 are and may have never<br />
heard of OFA or CERF or don’t use these services, and oftentimes<br />
their dogs are identifiable by their poor temperaments. Betterment<br />
of the breed is not their goal.<br />
However, not every rescue is a poorly bred and raised dog.<br />
ARPH has seen Aussies from some of the finest lines needing<br />
placement, including from several ASCA HOFX kennels. There<br />
are dogs in rescue who are perfectly healthy and well trained (some<br />
even have titles) and just need a new home.<br />

AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 77
MYTH: You can only get older dogs from rescue, they never<br />
have puppies<br />
ARPH has every life stage, from newly whelped litters to<br />
geriatric dogs. The reason not a lot of puppies are advertised is<br />
because they are often spoken for in advance by pre-approved<br />
adopters who have been waiting. Putting a cute pup’s picture up is<br />
also a surefire way to attract impulsive people who fall in love with<br />
the adorable fluffball. Many dogs are in rescue because someone<br />
didn’t think or do research before bringing them home, so rescue<br />
representatives want to make very certain that adopters are well<br />
equipped to raise and care for an Aussie during puppyhood and<br />
beyond.<br />
There are a lot of older pups that come in because adolescence<br />
is where the rubber meets the road and where unprepared owners<br />
discover they have too much dog. But the advantage is that they<br />
are past the housebreaking and delicate puppy stage and sometimes<br />
have some basic training. In the right homes, they really flourish.<br />
MYTH: Rescue dogs are just pets; you can’t do anything with<br />
them.<br />
ARPH Aussies are placed primarily as members of<br />
the household, fulfilling the<br />
breed’s role as an exceptional<br />
companion. However, that<br />
doesn’t mean rescues can’t<br />
do the things other Aussies<br />
can. Rescues participate and<br />
compete in events from herding<br />
and obedience to agility<br />
and flyball. Many provide<br />
comfort as therapy dogs or are<br />
ambassadors for the breed at<br />
educational booths. Some work as service animals or help with<br />
chores on the family farm. The label “rescue” does not affect a<br />
dog’s intelligence, versatility or any other traits that make Aussies<br />
the great breed they are.<br />
MYTH: ARPH will take any dog and find a home for it; they’re<br />
used to dealing with problems.<br />
ARPH is frequently contacted by people who have an Aussie<br />
mix, a mini Aussie or a dog that might remotely resemble an Aussie<br />
that they wish to place. ARPH only handles purebred Australian<br />
Shepherds, so usually these people have to be referred elsewhere.<br />
In some cases rescue representatives have to make a best educated<br />
guess as to whether a dog is purebred or not. There have been dogs<br />
that were completely bald when they came into rescue. In some kill<br />
shelters or other urgent situations there is not much time to decide<br />
whether or not a dog is to be taken or not. ARPH also takes Aussies<br />
that have prick ears, tails or exhibit a nonstandard color such as<br />
e-locus yellow, so it’s not always immediately obvious if a dog is<br />
purebred or not. Occasionally there have been misidentifications but<br />
those are subsequently referred to the proper rescue organization,<br />
i.e., English Shepherd, Border Collie, etc. One exception is, if a<br />
purebred Aussie comes into our program pregnant, her puppies are<br />
ARPH dogs even if they turn out to be mixed.<br />
Aussies in rescue also have to pass a temperament evaluation.<br />
ARPH cannot take a dog that bites or is aggressive. Most adopters<br />
are looking for a pet and not a project, and the organization consists<br />
ARPH<br />
The label “rescue” does not<br />
affect a dog’s intelligence, versatility<br />
or any other traits that make<br />
Aussies the great breed they are.<br />
of volunteers with their own families, dogs and day jobs that usually<br />
cannot devote all their time to rehabilitating dogs with temperament<br />
issues. While ARPH’s foster homes are great at helping dogs<br />
become better companions, serious behavioral challenges are not<br />
something they can or should be asked to tackle. A lot of people<br />
think that rescue is able to work with their dogs’ issues and place<br />
them with another home where the aggressive behavior won’t be<br />
a problem. If the owners are uncomfortable having this Aussie<br />
around, should they rightfully expect other families to take this<br />
animal into their homes?<br />
MYTH: All rescue dogs have issues.<br />
That depends on what you define as “issues.” As with any<br />
animal, what might be no big deal in one family could be a major<br />
offense in another. Some adopters want a dog that sleeps on the bed<br />
or will cuddle on the couch in front of the TV and others absolutely<br />
won’t tolerate dogs on the furniture. Some people want a dog that<br />
barks at strangers and others want one that welcomes all and sundry.<br />
That’s why ARPH places all dogs by best match to each household,<br />
and representatives get to know both ends of the leash so that every<br />
home an Aussie goes to is its last. A dog with separation anxiety<br />
might be great with someone<br />
who is able to take it to work or<br />
is home all the time, but would<br />
be destructive and impossible<br />
in a different environment.<br />
Aussies spend a minimum of<br />
two weeks in foster care before<br />
adoption, and ARPH shares all<br />
the known character traits and<br />
idiosyncrasies, along with any<br />
history, so that any surprises are<br />
hopefully minimized. Of course, as all who live with Aussies know,<br />
nothing is absolute with this intelligent and adaptable breed.<br />
Some of our dogs were beaten, starved or found with bullets<br />
in their bodies or collars embedded in their flesh. Others didn’t<br />
suffer these traditionally abusive things but had lack of responsible<br />
guardianship, so are physically sound but need to be taught how<br />
to live with humans properly. Some Aussies are trusting and sweet<br />
despite ill treatment, others take much longer to place their faith in<br />
people. As with all dogs, a lot depends on what is done and who is<br />
doing it.<br />
Also, adopters don’t just adopt a dog, they adopt the entire<br />
network of volunteers. Every ARPH Aussie comes with lifetime<br />
support and a safety net whereby if the new owner can no longer<br />
keep the dog, ARPH will take him or her back. Fun stories or photos<br />
of the happy dog with its new family are very rewarding to all the<br />
people that helped place it and really make the work worthwhile!<br />
I hope this article has helped debunk some of the myths and<br />
legends about rescue Aussies and how ARPH works. Our mission is<br />
to rescue Australian Shepherds and place them into loving, caring,<br />
and permanent homes, and to educate the public about all aspects<br />
of owning an Australian Shepherd. We love this wonderful breed<br />
and want to see every deserving Aussie with the right people.<br />

will even be trials advertised as<br />
“Last Chance For Finals Points”<br />
opportunities. I can’t say for sure<br />
how many points will be needed<br />
this year to make it into Finals,<br />
but I had expected that this Finals<br />
would be quite popular and it would<br />
take quite a few points to get in.<br />
However looking at the cumulative<br />
points as of February 1, <strong>2018</strong>, I<br />
was surprised that the 30 th spot in<br />
cattle was only 5.5 points; in ducks<br />
it was 10 points; and in sheep it was 11 points. This includes all<br />
trials from <strong>June</strong> 1 st of last year up to February of this year. Of<br />
course there will be several trials held before this column reaches<br />
you and several more trials during <strong>May</strong>. So I expect that the point<br />
requirements for getting into Finals will increase, and predicting<br />
what it will take to make the top 30 in each class of stock may be<br />
premature. However, based on previous years, I would guess it<br />
would be something like 12 cattle points, 16 duck points and 17<br />
sheep points. I am sure that anyone that wants to be included in<br />
this year’s Finals has already been considering these numbers ever<br />
since the last Finals in Bryan. I know several people that keep a<br />
sharp eye on their points accumulation throughout the year as well<br />
as the points that will be needed to make it in.<br />
I took a look at the Finals Standings for the past ten years as<br />
posted on the ASCA website, and although the selection criteria<br />
for Finals has changed twice over that time span, there are scores<br />
listed for every dog that accumulated more than four points – the<br />
minimum required to qualify for Finals. As you may have suspected,<br />
the number of points to reach that 30th position has increased over<br />
the years, but I was a bit surprised to see it was not as much as I<br />
expected it to be. I've included a bar graph indicating the points<br />
required to be in 30th position for each type of stock for the years<br />

One can see that the general trend for points earned is upward,<br />
but the increase is not a great as one might have supposed. To some<br />
extent, the variation seems to correlate with the place where Finals<br />
is being held. Some sites are perhaps more popular than others<br />
due to the facilities, location, or reputation from previous Finals<br />
held there. But different site locations don’t really explain the<br />
upward trend. I think the best explanation might be that there are<br />
more people trialing who are trying to qualify to get into Finals. It<br />
seems like the obvious answer. But can it also have something to<br />
do with the difficulty or ease of obtaining scores over 100? Has it<br />
become easier due to the type of stock being used or the judging<br />
standards changing? I have heard both of these factors offered as<br />
an explanation. <strong>May</strong>be all of these and others I have not listed<br />
contribute to the rise in the points required to get into Finals.<br />
But what is the real difference? As I mentioned above, it is not<br />
so great as one might have supposed. The least number of cattle<br />
points required to reach the 30th place over the period looked at<br />
is 6 (in 2008). The highest number of points required to get to that<br />
position in cattle is 14.5 and that was for last year. Average for the<br />
ten year period is 10.2. And, 10.5 cattle points would get you into<br />
the top thirty in six out of those ten years.<br />
The numbers for Ducks and Sheep follow a similar pattern<br />
although the points required are higher. The least number of points<br />

for ducks is 11 and for sheep it is 12. The highest number of points<br />
required for ducks is 19.5 (in 2013) and the average for the period<br />
is 15.6. An accumulation of 15.5 points would have put one in the<br />
top 30 in ducks for seven out of the last ten years. For sheep the<br />
most number of points required for top 30 is 24 (in 2017) and the<br />
average is 17.8. 18 accumulated points would put you in the top<br />
thirty sheep contestants in six out of the past ten years.<br />
I suppose this can become an obsession, but it doesn’t need<br />
to be. There is always some talk of a trailer race. This is often<br />
paired with the observation that there are ranchers and farmers<br />
out there with terrific working dogs who will never go to Finals.<br />
This is usually attributed to the notion that they do not have the<br />
time or the resources to compete in trials and accumulate the points<br />
required to be invited to Finals. Or perhaps trialing their dog in an<br />
arena simply does not interest them. Finals is supposed to showcase<br />
what our Aussies can do when working livestock, but there really<br />
doesn’t seem to be a practical way to include all the dogs that we<br />
might want to see.<br />
Perhaps the current points based system may actually be a<br />
good method for sorting out the best of the dogs that are involved<br />
in the trialing program. And of course there are a few dogs that<br />
only trial occasionally and do not accumulate enough points to<br />
make the top 30. But if they are really great dogs, then they can<br />
probably make enough points, say 16 to 18 in each class of stock,<br />
by competing in 12 trials – that would be two three day weekends<br />
of AM/PM trials. This assumes some extra points earned for High<br />
in Trial. With the new courses counting for 1.5 points, the required<br />
trials might be even fewer. So the gripe that we are leaving dogs<br />
out because of opportunities or resources in not really based on<br />
fact. If someone is at all interested in going to Finals and has the<br />
dog and the handling skills required to do well in Finals, then they<br />
can probably get there.<br />
However, there is another complaint I hear from time to time<br />
and that is that the dogs at Finals are not really very good. That is<br />
usually attributed to the concept that if one goes to enough trials<br />
that eventually enough points will be accumulated to make it into<br />
Finals. There may be some truth in this, but I wonder how many<br />
people actually attend enough trials to fall into that category. If<br />
one’s success rate is only 33 percent, then to reach the threshold,<br />
it would require competing in 48 trials which would require eight<br />
three-day AM/PM trial weekends. And that assumes a cutoff at 16<br />
points. If the cutoff is 20 points, then the number of trials goes up<br />
to ten trial weekends and 60 trials. That is quite an intense schedule<br />
for the dog and the handler and requires significant resources in time<br />
and money that most people cannot afford. So I question whether<br />
the perception that the dogs at Finals are not as good as expected<br />
can be attributed to the quantity vs. quality theory.<br />
So where does this notion that the Finals dogs from the last<br />
few years are not as good as they were in the past come from? And<br />
is it a valid observation? I have only been involved in the ASCA<br />
Stockdog program for 13 years and I have only been participating<br />
in Finals for nine years. So I don’t have firsthand knowledge of the<br />
competitions or the dogs involved in the early days of the ASCA<br />
program. However, since I have become involved, like everyone<br />
else, I have watched some good runs and I have seen some poor<br />
runs. Sometimes the issue in poor runs is the dog, but I have learned<br />
to recognize that more often the problem is the handler. The same<br />
can be said of the good runs. There are some really good handlers<br />
in our program and they usually get results. Of course, the dog is<br />
a crucial component of the team, and some dogs are capable of<br />
getting the job done with very little direction or correction from<br />
the handler. That is always nice to watch and even nicer when you<br />
are the handler in such a run.<br />

My point here is that proper training and experience for both<br />
the dog and the handler is crucial to a good performance. And<br />
I will suggest that it is not the quality of the dogs that may be<br />
lacking so much as it is the degree of training and experience that<br />
some handler/dog teams have when they show up at Finals that<br />
leads to the impression that the quality of our Aussies is not what<br />
it should be. Furthermore, I wonder if the perception that the dogs<br />
and handlers are not as good these days as they were in the past<br />
may be inaccurate. In fact, I think the training, at least for arena<br />
courses, today is probably superior to what it was in the 20th century.<br />
Perhaps the main difference between many of the dogs competing<br />
in Finals in the past few years and those competing in, say, the first<br />
two decades that Finals were held is that most of those early dogs<br />
worked on ranches and had to have lots of grit. From what I have<br />
seen in old videos, the dogs from that era were tough and also a<br />
little rough when doing arena courses. Many times, in the videos,<br />
they do not listen to the handlers at all. Sometimes they get the job<br />
done and sometimes they don’t. I myself have worked with one<br />
particular dog that folks told me worked like the old-time Aussies<br />
and more often than not he had his own ideas about what needed to<br />
be done and how to accomplish that. This approach did not prove<br />
to be an effective way to get high scores most of the time in arena<br />
trials. But in a real working situation, he got the job done.<br />
<strong>May</strong>be the dogs have changed, and maybe the program has evolved<br />
from a small group of ranchers who wanted to get together to show<br />
what their working dogs could do, to a large number of dog owners<br />
who want to compete in the ASCA stockdog program and show what<br />
their dogs can do. Unfortunately, many of these handlers never get<br />
the opportunity to train or perform in any situation other than the<br />
trial arena. I feel that the biggest difference in what we see today<br />
vs. the old days is that many of today’s competitors never have an<br />
82 AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
opportunity to work their dogs on a ranch in order to develop the<br />
toughness and stock instincts in their dogs.<br />
Compounding this deficit in exposure to real world situations<br />
is the short supply and lack of availability of fresh stock to use<br />
in our program. It is getting harder and in some cases almost<br />
impossible to get fresh stock for trials. Consequently clubs end up<br />
using stock that does not give the dogs a true test. Then when these<br />
dogs get to Finals and face fresh<br />
stock that has not been on a course<br />
before, they don’t have the training,<br />
experience and skill required to<br />
move uncooperative stock through<br />
the course. At least that is how it<br />
appears. But I can’t help but think<br />
that this may not, in many cases, be<br />
due to deterioration in the quality<br />
and ability of our dogs so much<br />
as it is simply a matter insufficient<br />
training and lack of exposure to<br />
stock that are not dog broke.<br />
I was most pleased to hear from<br />
Elsie Rhodes who provided her<br />
perspective of the 2017 Finals and<br />
the quality of the dog handler teams<br />
for inclusion in this issue of Finally<br />

find the quality of the competitors<br />
lacking. Thanks, Elsie, for sharing<br />
your thoughts and observations on<br />

Eye Candy –<br />
ASCA 2017 Finals and<br />
National Working Trials<br />
By Elsie Rhodes<br />
“You live in a fantasy<br />
world,” she told me.<br />
This from a longtime<br />
friend who has been to far<br />
more Nationals and Stockdog<br />
finals than me. Thinking about<br />
her response, “Well,” I thought,<br />
“she certainly could be right.”<br />
Lucky me! She was wrong.<br />
I saw exactly what I wanted<br />
to see. “I’m hoping to see<br />
quality runs; work so good it is<br />
difficult to judge because they<br />
are uniformly fantastic and<br />
inspiring to watch.” I’d told her.<br />
The Aussies and their<br />
handlers, at all four of the 2017<br />
Working Trial events, Pre-Trial,<br />
Nationals, the Finals plus the Shoot-out, performed at a level higher<br />
than any I had seen at Nationals in the past. Dog and handler teams,<br />
one after another, demonstrating quality runs, a dynamic degree<br />
of team work and used methods constant with my feeling of what<br />
good stockmanship can accomplish. Most of the runs were like<br />
watching a well-oiled wheel, moving along without a hitch; the dog<br />
controlling the stock, the handler doing his part with commands<br />
given at the right time guiding the dog.<br />
Finally, Finals!<br />
Positive credit must be given to the livestock. The ducks were<br />
well legged up and fast. Old minds, like mine, seemed to be ten steps<br />
behind their movement. I liked them anyway, they grouped well,<br />
when properly directed eased through the obstacles only splitting<br />
if handled incorrectly.<br />
The sheep offered a different type of challenge. They were<br />
dog-broke but not course-trained. The test with them was having<br />
power and the ability to push heavy stock. The dog’s power or lack<br />
of it became apparent in short order. I think the judges had many<br />
quality runs shown to them. I hope they enjoyed watching these<br />
runs as much as me.<br />
Wow, the cattle, beautiful heifers – wouldn’t mind having a<br />
herd of them in my back yard. These ladies went where they were<br />
told but only if told. Dogs that took charge got the job done. There<br />
sure are lots of Aussies with “cow” in them, able to move and<br />
control the heifers through obstacles whether against the fences<br />
or out in the open arena.<br />
The changing of the courses kept the stock from becoming<br />
course broke plus leant itself to keeping our Aussies and their<br />
team mates challenged. I, being a big fan of the new courses, was<br />
delighted to see stock worked off the walls of the arena, under<br />
control as they were moved through obstacles in the open arena.<br />
I’ve known for years our Aussies could do far more than work stock<br />
on the fence line. It was joyous to see the superior quality of work<br />
demonstrated at these events, eye candy.<br />

Mystery Trainers<br />
Unfortunately, there were no questions submitted for the<br />
Mystery Trainers for this month’s column. If you have training or<br />
trialing questions that you would like to have the Mystery Trainers<br />
comment on, please send them to me at tmorarre@msn.com. We<br />
will try to include the questions and the Mystery Trainer responses<br />
in future columns.<br />
*****<br />
Mystery Pups<br />
Things are starting to thaw out and it’s time to get back out in<br />
the fields and do some training and even some trialing. The mystery<br />
pups are going strong and we have a few reports on their progress<br />
to share.<br />
Finally, Finals!<br />
stub gets to wiggling a lot yet. That’s my clue the puppy brain is<br />
taking over. And, Dude watches me a lot. Any time he’s not quite<br />
sure what I want. I recognize that’s the reason. Something I wasn’t<br />
catching before. I’d get irritated, yell, flail, do all those things a<br />
good trainer shouldn’t do. Now, I stop, reassess, and redirect. And<br />
guess what? I get results. Huh. Go figure.<br />
Also, thanks to input from a friend, I’ve started working Dude<br />
with a more experienced dog. I’ve only done it twice so far. Time<br />
will tell.<br />
Dude is likely the most immature dog I’ve dealt with in some<br />
time, but he loves to work, and he never holds a grudge, so I’m<br />
confident we’ll find our way through.<br />
Mystery Pup Lessons to Learn<br />
Mystery Pup Nessa<br />
Time to Ponder<br />
One thing that happens over winter is I have a lot of time to<br />
think. Granted, that’s not always a good thing.<br />
Nessa is one leg away from her WTCH and then, hopefully,<br />
it’s on to Finals. Neither of us is ready for that. This may be true<br />
for me more than her. I know it’s a matter of time and miles. If we<br />
don’t hit the trials, we won’t learn and grow. We won’t find our<br />
comfort zone and the success we’re after. Quite frankly, however,<br />
I can’t keep throwing money at trials and not even pulling out a<br />
Q. We should be beyond that stage, but we’re not, and I need to<br />
fix that before we can move on.<br />
At home, Nessa and I are rock stars, I kid you not. I have<br />
witnesses. That’s not a brag, but it is extremely frustrating because<br />
it makes our failures at trials even more unbearable. I know what we<br />
can do. I know how we can work together, how Nessa can handle<br />
her stock, how she has my back. And yet, time and again, we fail.<br />
Given that, I’ve decided to make this year about training,<br />
not trialing. I’m going to try for that last leg we need for Nessa’s<br />
WTCH, and then we’re going to focus on finding places off the farm<br />
to work and train. I don’t know how much, if any, trialing we’ll do.<br />
If I want to make a run for the 2020 Finals and be competent when<br />
we get there, I owe it to both of us to figure out the disconnect and<br />
fix it.<br />
Mystery Pup Dude<br />
Time to Grow<br />
I have come to the conclusion Dude is just a ball of immaturity.<br />
He looks like a mature dog and occasionally even acts like it. Truth<br />
is, at just two years old, he is a goofy kid with only a couple serious<br />
brain cells who isn’t near as confident as I believe he is.<br />
And I’ve been pushing him. Pushing him and making us both<br />
crazy because he wasn’t really getting it. He was mentally just not<br />
there. Bless his soul, he’s tried. And I know a lot of folks that would<br />
have given up on him by now. I’m not one of those.<br />
I’ve been able to work Dude a few times now that the weather<br />
is starting to be more cooperative and lean, however grudgingly,<br />
toward late winter/early spring. I noticed quickly that his little<br />
A day in the life<br />
Being retired has its advantages. One really big advantage is<br />
you get to work more with your dogs. My day seems to start around<br />
6:00 a.m. I let the dogs out; feed the dogs; then let the dogs back out.<br />
Drink coffee with breakfast. After checking my email it’s time to<br />
drink more coffee. Next it’s off to the barn with more coffee. Then<br />
we sort off the sheep to work from the ones to turn out to pasture<br />
for grazing. As we sort sheep off, I take a head count and inspect<br />
any that need treatment. (I check for cuts, deworm, check bags and<br />
look for any weak lambs.) I’ve been alternating two dogs on this<br />
task.Lessons to Learn is taking over this job from my older dog.<br />
I work the gate and he keeps them bunched and filtering through<br />
single file. Every day we sort 60 head of sheep and 15 goats.<br />
Once that hour is done, I’ll go back to the house, refill the coffee<br />
and get a few more dogs to work. That is usually about 5 to 8 dogs<br />
in a day. Some days I load dogs up, have stock in a trailer and head<br />
to another pasture about 20 minutes away. When we arrive I let the<br />
stock out to graze … oh wait! NO fences or pens, just open pasture<br />
so the dog has to cover and work as the fence restricting where we<br />
want grazing to occur. Or we just might go on walk abouts around<br />
the land. We usually make many stops for grazing and rest for the<br />
dog and me. Oh, and surprise: more coffee.<br />
Next week we are heading to a client’s place. He needs some<br />
help with his young BC. He runs about 50 stocker calves. My client<br />
and I will work with the dogs the first time. He needs his dog to<br />
learn to do an outrun and gather a pasture and move the calves to<br />
another pasture. We will have a few days to work the calves and<br />
dog break the group before they can be turned out on a few hundred<br />
acres of rotational grazing pasture. We will start with a group of<br />
10-15, then add 5 daily so that by the end of the week his dog will<br />
have a nice set of 50 that are easy to handle. His dog does not have<br />
a strong bite, so Lessons to Learn and one of my other dogs will<br />
be there to help him out.<br />
The first few times we will help with the gathering and moving<br />
the calves to another pasture. The client will stand near the gate<br />
and look them over as they filter through. Of course, he will stand<br />
far enough out so he does not interfere with the flow of the calves.<br />
After that is done, we load up, head home.<br />
Back home I fill all the feeder bunks then send out my boy<br />
to gather the herd from grazing and bring them to get their grain.<br />
If the grass is thick, they linger in, if it is wimpy, sometimes they<br />
meet us at the gate wanting grain. After the sheep are settled on<br />

the feeders, there is usually a dip in the stock pond for the dog and<br />
then we head to the house. At the end of the day we are tired but<br />
happy with the things we have accomplished. Settling in for the<br />
evening we both are thinking: “We love this job.”<br />

Some of us have it easy getting to Finals. Others have a little<br />
more of a journey. The dedicated ASCA members that live outside<br />
of the US have the longest and most difficult journey to get to Finals.<br />
But in spite of that, we are fortunate to have several dog/handler<br />
teams from outside of the USA at most Finals, and this past year<br />
was no exception.<br />

Stockdog Corner<br />
Terry Martin • Bryan, Texas<br />
More Dog, Less Training?<br />
I<br />
have been asked to write about the difference in the dogs from<br />
back when the trials began (mid-1970s) to present. That is<br />
kind of a big topic, because first it is necessary to understand<br />
how trials have changed first. And they have changed a lot in<br />
most cases. This will be Part 1 and will continue to the next issue.<br />
When trials began, the majority of participants were farm and<br />
ranch people who used dogs before there were trials for Aussies.<br />
That does not mean all of them came from this background because<br />
it was new to everyone who had Aussies, and many wanted to find<br />
out if their dog would work stock. One thing that was far different<br />
then was that most people with Aussies assumed they all would<br />
work. After all, that was what the Australian Shepherd was. ASCA<br />
had only been agricultural areas.<br />
The original program right up to today had a Started Division<br />
for a reason. Originally, started scores did not count toward a title<br />
but were just for experience. That changed a year or two into the<br />
program. It became obvious that the division was a place to start,<br />
not only for the rancher but for the people who had no stock at all.<br />
Many dogs and people entered the started division with a dog that<br />
had never seen livestock before. The dog and handler would work as<br />
a team, and if the handler had control (meaning just a stay or down<br />
or even just a hesitate or a “come here”) and the dog had working<br />
instinct the dog could qualify. Everyone knew they had to let the<br />
dog do the majority of the work, but they could be fairly close by<br />
which the rules then and now allow. Thus, trials were also a training<br />
ground, because there were no clinics and no videos (videos not<br />
invented yet). There were more dogs in the cattle classes at most<br />
trials for several reasons. One was that the Aussie was used more<br />
on cattle than on sheep on farms and ranches. Many people were<br />
uneasy about putting their cow dog out there in public on sheep!<br />
Back then it was very unusual for someone to have sheep just to<br />
train a dog.<br />
But part of the question was about the dogs. Everyone then<br />
and now wanted to see talented stockdogs. There was no advanced<br />
division for quite a few years and I am not sure when that was<br />
added. There was no open handlers line at first either. The difference<br />
between started and open was the center chute (only course A<br />
then). One difference back then in my memory was that the dog<br />
and handler were working more as a team. We all knew the less<br />
we influenced the stock the better, but it was a different concept.<br />
We were not showing off training because neither the dogs nor<br />
the handlers really knew a lot about training. It was more about<br />
getting the job done efficiently, which actually was more like<br />
real life work than it is now. The farm/ranch dogs who had been<br />
worked a lot knew they were part of a team because that was how<br />
they worked at home. Since there really were very few trainers, the<br />
dogs were working more on instinct and what they perceived the<br />
handler wanted done. Even these days on farms and ranches when<br />
someone who has never seen a trial, read a training book, seen a<br />
video, works his dog it is a combination of instinct and experience<br />
on stock doing chores.<br />
I guess it is legitimate to mention dog’s names since they<br />
are not only gone but falling off the right side of our pedigrees. I<br />
remember dogs like Sorensen’s Cherry Brandy, Rowe’s Comanche<br />
Warrior, King’s K Troy from the first couple of trials I went to.<br />
Comanche had a certain amount of training because Colorado had<br />
an all breed stockdog club before ASCA had trials. I remember<br />
Las Rocosa Disney well from a fun trial in Colorado before the<br />
first ASCA trials. They inspired me because I knew my ranch dogs<br />
could do that. I think a lot of us did although when we got out there<br />
in that arena, we quickly realized it was not as easy as we thought<br />
it was going to be. Old Blue had figured out what we wanted done<br />
at home and knew the layout, the gates, and the stock. Many of us<br />
wondered, “what happened to my dog” at the early trials – thus,<br />
the inspiration to do better.<br />
I will tell a funny story that Orin Barnes, who owned Disney,<br />
told me about two decades later. I told him how totally impressed I<br />
was with the dog that day so long ago. He told me that Disney was<br />
his constant companion for 15 years but until he was really old he<br />
had hardly ever touched the dog. He said Disney did whatever he<br />
wanted him to do almost with no words, but that day in Colorado<br />
all he was thinking during the run was, “Will I be able to catch<br />
him when it is over?” After 40 years I still remember he was an<br />
amazing fancy worker, so he must have been just that!<br />
I may have the exact decades where these dogs competed mixed<br />
up a little because back then trials were few and far between. I<br />
lived in Utah, which was a day’s drive at least to a trial in Colorado<br />
or Arizona. The first really trained dogs I remember were Kathy<br />
Warren’s Windsong’s Shennanigan and Windsong’s Troya on<br />
cattle and Nick Davis' Apache Tears of Timberline on sheep. Keep<br />
in mind I am remembering only the dogs I saw and who made a<br />
lasting impression. This was 40 years ago. I remember well when<br />
Cathy Jones showed up at Phoenix with Jones’ Reddy Teddy, and<br />
the shocking thing to some of us was that the dog was very dark<br />
red with no trim. Most of us had never seen a dog that color. Reds<br />
of any kind were rare back then (I know that seems strange now).<br />
86 AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
I had seen Taylor’s Whiskey at horse shows (red merle), so I knew<br />
about reds but had seem nothing the color of Reddy Teddy. I can<br />
still picture him in the cattle trial heeling right on the ground and<br />
then going in the duck trial and working those ducks using eye and<br />
finesse.<br />
Because Colorado was a trial I could get to, a dog that I will<br />
never forget and many people thought was the best dog around was<br />
Powder River City Slicker, who belonged to Jim Foster. Jim was a<br />
brand inspector and went to various ranches and helped the people<br />
get cattle up and into chutes using Slick. He was black and powerful,<br />
silent and deliberate. Amazing dog. Colorado was where I met the<br />
Reaves from Texas with Reaves Stubbette K who was one of the<br />
prettiest low heeling dogs I had ever seen. Since we had cattle I<br />
have to admit I did not pay a lot of attention to sheep dogs. There<br />
are many many good dogs I am not mentioning simply because I<br />
can’t remember their names.<br />
We moved to Texas in 1980. That changed a little bit which<br />
dogs I was seeing at trials. The first trial I remember was Nationals<br />
1982, and there were dogs there from all over the country. It was<br />
also the first Stockdog Futurity for Aussies sponsored by the ASC<br />
of Texas. I shudder to think now about the dog I had entered and<br />
how untrained she was. But we were not alone. We still had few<br />
trainers, not a lot of dogs that would even lie down out there, much<br />
less have any direction. The futurity was on cattle only. It was pretty<br />
Stockdog Corner<br />
cool because this young guy from Canada was there and he asked<br />
us what the course was and how to run it. He was Kerry Russell<br />
with his Las Rocosa Bonny Kyle. There were two go-rounds and<br />
Kerry and Bonny Kyle just went out there and showed everyone<br />
how it was done. He won the event hands down and gave us all<br />
something to aspire to. A talented dog with a talented trainer and<br />
handler and no one complained when he took first place. We were<br />
just inspired to do better by seeing what can be accomplished with<br />
a good dog and hard work.<br />
One of the dogs from the futurity, and I can’t remember if he<br />
placed 2 nd or 3 rd , was Zephyr’s Crimson King whose call name was<br />
Bud. He was purchased by Tony Rohne who trialed him from then<br />
on. Sorry I am only reporting on Texas now, but it was where I saw<br />
the program progressing. For the next decade the trials in Texas<br />
were dominated by Tony with Bud, Rick Dill with Windsong’s<br />
Raisin Cain, Russ Ford with Slash V Spirit of Aggieland, all<br />
WTCHs because somewhere in that time ASCA named what we had<br />
unofficially called “Triple ATD” dogs a WTCH. There were others<br />
and I feel bad I am leaving them out but just bits and pieces of my<br />
memories. There were some outstanding dogs back then, perhaps<br />
the best I have seen in trials because they were trained but not to<br />
the extent that dogs are now. We saw more dog and less training.<br />
I am going to leave off here and see if I can do some more<br />
research into the dogs of that time for the next issue of the Times.<br />
As soon as I send this to the editor I am sure I will remember some<br />
great dog(s) that I did not mention.<br />

He has always tried his best for me,<br />
whether we are competing in rally, agility,<br />
obedience, or on stock. But I would say<br />
that if he had his way, it would be winter all<br />
year, so he could sled and play in the snow.<br />
It was a great year for us in the run for<br />
Rally Finals and winning the 2017 Rally<br />
Finals at Nationals was truly amazing.<br />
Competing against the other top teams<br />
that I respect so much was a thrill. Just<br />
being at an ASCA Nationals, my first one<br />
being in 1975 in Phoenix, Arizona, and<br />
visiting with so many wonderful Aussie<br />

Just So.<br />
Elizabeth M. Jarrell<br />
Kensington, MD<br />
William has exceptional<br />
engineering skills.<br />
It may well be that he is<br />
proficient in plumbing<br />
as well.<br />
A<br />
lot of dogs are intimidated by big strangers with large<br />
tool boxes. Some bark incessantly. Others immediately<br />
run away to hide. Not William. Everyone is his longlost<br />
best buddy. He enthusiastically greets all guests,<br />
even the plumber, who is a very large, strong guy with a large tool<br />
box and mysterious boxes of plumbing equipment such as toilets.<br />
William especially likes to welcome guests carrying a toy in his<br />
mouth, often to share.<br />
The plumber’s latest visit was to solve the mystery of onequarter<br />
inch of water under my kitchen sink which turned out to<br />
be a failed disposal. Every time the plumber went out to his truck<br />
for another item and then walked back into the house, William<br />
acted like he had not seen him in ages. William is nothing if not<br />
a friendly sort of fellow. I’ve known my plumber for decades and<br />
he is an incredibly nice, gentle guy who loves dogs and is a crack<br />
plumber.<br />
Many dogs, if not already in hiding, run away when a plumber<br />
begins to produce odd-shaped instruments out of his tool box.<br />
88 AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
Not William, who thinks every new instrument is a toy especially<br />
constructed for him. He has even tried running off with a tool or<br />
two much to my plumber’s chagrin.<br />
Of course, the house is replete with various and assorted toys,<br />
most of which my dogs have won.We have all kinds of toys: stuffed,<br />
rope, squeaky, and crinkle. You name it, we have it. It is not as if<br />
William is deprived of toys. Yet a plumber’s tools are far more<br />
fascinating to William given his engineering mindset.<br />
Unlike some of my dogs, William does not have a favorite<br />
toy other than the particular toy Sophie may have at the time. And<br />
all of my dogs vastly prefer tiny toys to larger ones. One of their<br />
stuffed toys is a magician’s hat which conceals three, tiny, white<br />
bunnies. For some reason, I have favored stuffed bunnies for my<br />
dogs through the years. Bunnies are adorable. Plus, my dogs are<br />
all fascinated by the ever-growing population of wild bunnies in<br />
our neighborhood. Not that they agree, but my philosophy is better<br />
they should play with a stuffed bunny than chase a live bunny.<br />
William can methodically take apart anything – an upholstered<br />
chair with the tacks neatly lined up in a row, a metal water bucket<br />
from its metal handle, a guinea pig water container including<br />
screws. He never destroys anything; he, like many budding<br />
engineers, simply is very curious about how things are put together.<br />
I only hope that he never becomes interested in how radios or TVs<br />
work.<br />
Even more wondrous to William is water. Most dogs either love<br />
or hate water. I’ve never had one indifferent to water. William loves<br />
water more than any dog I’ve ever had, which is odd considering<br />
he is a herding dog, not a water retrieving dog.<br />
He is never happier than when he is outside frolicking in the<br />
pouring rain, running and rolling. After I shower, he makes a mad<br />
dash to the bathroom to roll around on the damp mats. He pulls wet<br />
towels off the racks to snuggle. If someone comes into the house<br />
with wet shoes, he rubs himself against their shoes, often making<br />
it necessary for me to immediately explain his water obsession to<br />
my large-eyed visitor. He just loves water.<br />
So the combination of his latest friend the plumber, coupled<br />
with a tool box full of new toys and water all over the floor was<br />
sheer heaven for William. He was smiling. He was rolling. He was<br />
just beside himself with pure joy. Everyone should be that happy<br />
with such simple pleasures.<br />
To install the new disposal, the plumber first had to remove<br />
the U-shaped drain trap full of filthy water under the old disposal.<br />
He carefully placed the U-trap in his open tool box. Well, William<br />
just could not contain his utter delight. Water! Right there on the<br />
floor! Next to him! William kept trying to take out the U-trap so<br />
he could better enjoy all the filthy water inside. The plumber,<br />
however, thought otherwise. After a few rounds, the plumber<br />
won and William contented himself with merely watching all the<br />
fascinating goings on with the water under the sink.<br />
The plumber finally managed to install the new disposal, clean<br />
up, and then leave despite William’s determination to help him.<br />
Generally, I call my plumber and I’ve called him a lot recently.<br />
Yesterday, he called me.<br />
Plumber: “Does your dog have a bunny?”<br />
Me: “A little white one?”<br />
Plumber: “Yes. I went to my first job today, opened up my tool<br />
box, and my client asked, ‘Do you always carry around a bunny<br />
in your tool box?’ She has yet to stop laughing. I’ll drop bunny off<br />
tomorrow.”<br />
I returned home to find Bunny nestled in the screen door handle.<br />
Bunny came home.<br />
Just so.<br />

Putting Our Dogs First<br />
Bret Kofford<br />
Imperial Valley, California<br />
The thing I admire the most about my mom is the fact that she<br />
always puts her dogs’ well-being first.<br />
Over the last few months, we have been rehabbing her<br />
dog, Oscar, through some back pain. This has meant<br />
that Oscar has mostly been unable to do agility, run<br />
on the beach, or do his therapy dog visits. However,<br />
Oscar’s well-being always came first. My mom, as sad and<br />
disappointed as she was that Oscar and she were unable to do<br />
some of the things they loved to do, always put his needs and his<br />
health first.<br />
When Oscar initially started showing signs of not being 100%<br />
sound, my mom’s first reaction was to get him healthy. She always<br />
wanted to ensure that Oscar<br />
was happy, pain-free, and<br />
well. Of course, she wanted<br />
him to be able to do agility and<br />
run on the beach again, and of<br />
course there were moments<br />
of sadness over wondering<br />
if he would ever be able to<br />
go back in the ring, but, even<br />
throughout all of that, my<br />
mom never lost sight of what<br />
really mattered: Oscar being happy and healthy.<br />
I chose to write about this because I think, all too often, some<br />
of us sometimes lose sight of what’s really important. As I have<br />
watched my mom and Oscar adapt to their new normal, I am<br />
constantly in awe of how my mom has handled the situation. She<br />
never once wavered from the idea that the fact that Oscar was happy<br />
was the most important thing. She chose to focus on getting him<br />
healthy to be able to go on his therapy dog visits and his beach runs,<br />
because she knew those were two of his most favorite things to do.<br />
My mom is only a handful of Q’s away from her ATCH with Oscar,<br />
and yet, she has not wanted to rush him back into an agility ring<br />
because she wants to make sure that he is 100% pain-free before<br />
doing so. Her patience, and her willingness to put agility on hold,<br />
is admirable, and I think we all can learn something from it.<br />
It is so easy to get caught up in the “It’s just one more Q!” or<br />
“As soon as she gets 4 more gambles, I’ll retire her,” mindset. But<br />
90 AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
I chose to write about this<br />
because I think, all too often,<br />
some of us sometimes lose sight<br />
of what’s really important<br />
these statements can be dangerous. We have to remember that our<br />
dogs are not the ones signing the entry forms and dropping the<br />
check in the mail; we are. And they rely on us for their safety and<br />
well-being. We need to be responsible and confident enough to stop<br />
if they are showing signs of pain. It is not just the right thing to<br />
do, but it is our duty to take care of them. Our pride should never<br />
be more important than our dogs.<br />
Almost six months later, I am so happy to say that Oscar is<br />
feeling much better. He is not 100% back to normal, but he is<br />
back to being healthy enough to go on his therapy dog visits and<br />
has even had a few beach runs.<br />
Agility is still taking a backseat<br />
for now, but I know my mom is<br />
happy that he has begun some<br />
of his normal routine again. I<br />
know, though, that this would<br />
not have been possible had my<br />
mom not put in 150% effort into<br />
his rehab exercises. My mom<br />
is determined, rarely misses an<br />
exercise day, and puts his needs<br />
first. She is always making time for Oscar and has gone above and<br />
beyond to ensure that her boy is happy and healthy. The journey<br />
has not been easy, and we all wish that they were not going through<br />
this, but she has handled it so well, and I am so incredibly proud<br />
of her for putting her dog’s health first. I know that it will pay off<br />
in the long run.

Leah Swatko • Ontario, Canada<br />
My first Aussie was from a working bred litter. The parents were dogs local<br />
people had purchased at the Ohio Congress Quarter Horse Show.<br />
I<br />
knew very little about the breed other than they were very<br />
smart and good farm dogs. I had met one Aussie in my life<br />
prior to this; it was a dog who worked in a traveling side<br />
show a young man operated out of his cube van. He was a<br />
naturally gifted trainer and had a small collection of mixed breeds<br />
and the Aussie. They performed in parking lots for handouts. He<br />
had developed an amazing collection of behaviours each dog had<br />
mastered. Seeming to be overly gifted in doing basic mathematics,<br />
dancing and jumping rope, there was no limit to what they could<br />
do and all seemed to know how to play the crowd to get the most<br />
money into the tin. All worked on simple cues, a finger flick to<br />
end the barking of an addition<br />
answer. Changes of how the<br />
questions were asked told the<br />
dog what was expected. It was<br />
all quite interesting to watch<br />
the subtle language going on<br />
that the spectators never caught<br />
on to. I lived North of Lake<br />
Superior in a small town named<br />
Wawa, which means Big Goose<br />
in Cree. It was late fall of 1974,<br />
and his truck had broken down and was outside my house on the<br />
road, so like all strays I brought him home and he spent the winter<br />
camped in my back yard. I got to know his one Aussie who he<br />
declared as the smartest dog he had ever had. He had found the<br />
dog as a pup wandering the alleys of Calgary maybe left behind by<br />
accident when the rodeo left town. He took the pup in and he was<br />
soon the corner stone of his traveling act. At one time I had a picture<br />
of the dog sitting up wearing a cowboy hat, sunglasses and with<br />
a lit cigarette in his mouth. He was a red merle with blue eyes, A<br />
moderate dog that would suit the ASCA breed standard even today.<br />
Back to my first Aussie; it was Christmas Eve 1982, a friend<br />
and I went up the road to look at a litter of puppies. They were born<br />
around November the 28 th so were only just four weeks old. My<br />
daughter had asked for a puppy and I wanted a young dog, too, as<br />
my two German Shepherds were getting on in years.<br />
My pup was named Jake<br />
by my oldest daughter.<br />
The dog was to be hers, but Jake<br />
was glued to me and was my dog.<br />
When we arrived at the farm, the pups and their mom were<br />
outside in -20c temperatures under the steps with no shelter and<br />
nothing more than a blanket. The mom was a blue merle and was<br />
doing her best to keep the pups warm. The farmer’s wife had<br />
demanded they be put outside as they were making the house smell.<br />
I asked the farmer if he was going to put them in the barn as it was<br />
supposed to get bitterly cold that night, -35c and more in the wind.<br />
I said these pups won’t last long out here it is too cold for them.<br />
His answer was non-committal but he thought he probably would<br />
put them in the barn in an empty corner with some straw.<br />
We looked over the pups and I chose a bi sable red merle. I<br />
only identified her actual colour<br />
latter as I learned more about<br />
the breed. She had a brown eye,<br />
the other was china blue, some<br />
white trim but no copper, and<br />
she seemed friendly and was<br />
so tiny and happy to be held in<br />
my arms – far warmer, I’m sure,<br />
than in the ice and snow.<br />
My friend selected a light<br />
brown pup. We paid for our<br />
pups and we both chose to take them home. I had a strong feeling<br />
that we might have saved their lives considering the weather.<br />
My pup was named Jake by my oldest daughter. The dog was<br />
to be hers, but Jake was glued to me and was my dog. She followed<br />
me everywhere on her little baby legs. She was tiny, more the size of<br />
a two-week-old puppy. She took to warm goat’s milk and softened<br />
food like a ravenous animal. She was so hungry she quivered as she<br />
ate to the point I had to take the food away before she burst. She<br />
was a confident pup, not afraid of anything, was house-trained in<br />
no time – seriously, she never had a single accident in the house.<br />
She dutifully followed me about the farm as I did chores, feeding<br />
the horses, and goats in the barn. Tending to the geese in their pen,<br />
one day when she was closer to four months of age, she made the<br />
mistake of following me in to the goose pen with in seconds the<br />
gander had picked her up by the scruff and one ear. She screamed<br />
AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 91
loody murder as he shook her and tossed her out the gate. That set<br />
the tone for Jake and every generation of geese to follow over the<br />
next 14 years. She learned to keep out of their reach but was not<br />
afraid of them and soon learned she could push them into taking<br />
wing away from her ferocious barking and jumping back and forth.<br />
She was a little lacking in working style, but she was self-taught<br />
after all. As the years went by they established a sort of truce and<br />
they would ignore her and she them when they were wandering<br />
the farm yard.<br />
Jake grew to be a great working partner for me plus a great<br />
companion to my daughters. The dog lived free and was never on<br />
leash or collared. She only ever had rabies inoculations by the farm<br />
vet; in fact, only ever saw the vet when he came to the farm.<br />
Well, that was not exactly true. One summer day I couldn’t<br />
find her. She never strayed off the farm and all the dogs understood<br />
the boundaries of the farm yard, the ditch line in the pasture to the<br />
west, the north fence line to the pasture, the big Jack Pine in the<br />
turn of the drive way and all around to the far side of the barn and<br />
the pig pen. The only time they would go past these markers was<br />
with me, be it on foot, snowshoes, or horse back. I looked in all<br />
the possible places and no Jake. So I told the other dogs to stay<br />
home and walked over to the neighbour’s farm on the other side<br />
of the small valley. They were both in town at work, but we both<br />
took care of each others farms when needed. We did have one new<br />
neighbour across the road and they were not the nicest of people.<br />
Their garbage bin was over flowing and they just tossed garbage<br />
from the house always falling short of the bin. Ravens and the tracks<br />
of many scavengers covered the ground as local wildlife took this<br />
free food.<br />
I walked past the mess and down the hill, over the wooden<br />
bridge then up the hill and turned in to my friend’s driveway.<br />
Walked up to her goat barn and there was Jake standing with her<br />
brother Higgins. She looked pathetic, tail dragging and head low.<br />
Ya, she was sick all right. So walked her home and drove to the<br />
vets in town. Seems she was one of the scavengers of the sloppy<br />
neighbour’s garbage and had a case of garbage gut. She was soon<br />
fine after a short course of antibiotics. I educated her on the dangers<br />
of sneaking down past the bush and crossing the road out of sight<br />
of my house. She never went there again. I<br />
thought all dogs were this easy to train.<br />
As the years passed Jake proved her<br />
worth as a working dog, she would go to the<br />
back pasture a quarter-mile back down the<br />
rock gully to fetch the horses and cows who<br />
pastured there in summer. I liked to check<br />
them over and always dished out some feed<br />
to keep them coming up to the gate ever<br />
day. Jake knew the name of every animal<br />
on the farm. If I asked her to get Bertha,<br />
for sure within minutes Bertha was at the<br />
gate and I could just take her to tack up<br />
for a ride. If I was milking my dairy goats<br />
one word from me and Jake would send a<br />
doe by name in the door. No matter what<br />
order I milked she would bring the named<br />
animal to me be it to milk or to trim feet.<br />
My daughters were growing up and had<br />
discovered the best fly-free place to sun<br />
bathe was the roof of my low barn. They had a wooden ladder set<br />
up and would climb up to enjoy the sun and often had girl friends<br />
over from the next farms up the road. Soon Jake discovered she<br />
could climb ladders and would be up on the roof in a flash. I could<br />
see her from the kitchen window. However as adept at climbing<br />
up, she never did master going down and I was always called to<br />
get Jake off the roof. I would climb up put her over my shoulders<br />
and hold her with one hand and carefully climb down. Poor Jake<br />
didn’t like this part her legs out stiff and her feet all claws, if only<br />
she would learn to back down the ladder she would not have to<br />
endure this indignity. I even tried to teach her to no avail. Every<br />
time I would get called to come get Jake off the roof. Sometimes<br />
she would climb up just to enjoy the view, I don’t know what went<br />
through her mind, but I would see her sitting waiting to be carried<br />
down.<br />
I decided to breed Jake to a nice black and copper dog on a<br />
farm owned by two bachelor Finnish brothers who must have been<br />
in their 70s but still farmed their 300 acres. Cutting firewood from<br />
the wood lot, growing grain to make rye and wheat flour, oats for<br />
horses, and other grains, plus taking in huge stretches of hay for<br />
the 40 cow calf pairs, they farmed the traditional way. They never<br />
used pesticides or any chemicals on their animals or crops. I had<br />
asked if I could use their dog and they had said yes. So when I<br />
thought it was time took Jake over and she was as the saying goes,<br />
pasture bred.<br />

AUSSIE TIMES <strong>May</strong>-<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 93
How Will I Know<br />
When I’ve Owned My Last Aussie?<br />
Teresa Pierce • Renton, Washington<br />
As a young girl, a blue merle with marbled eyes and an undocked tail<br />
followed me home from school (with a bit of coaxing).<br />
Blue became part of me, left indelible paw prints in my<br />
heart. Then, after college, jobs, a marriage and divorce,<br />
again an Aussie rescued me, and me him. I think I shall<br />
never love anyone or anything as much as I loved Roper.<br />
Then, I adopted another rescue, a friend for Roper. Cricket was a<br />
retired Grand Dame of the show world. Later, Roper, Cricket and<br />
I added yet another female, Annie, to make Roper’s harem of girls<br />
complete.<br />
Those were the happiest days of my life. I lived and breathed<br />
for my dogs. Eventually, Cricket passed. It was hard on all of us.<br />
Three dogs had been the perfect number because no one’s ever<br />
left alone.<br />
Losing Roper was heart wrenching, truly the saddest days of<br />
my life. He was the center of my soul. How can a dog mean so<br />
much, the bond be so intense? I could barely breath for a month<br />
afterward it hurt so badly. But, I needed to go on for his mate, my<br />
beautiful sweet Annie. She and I grew quite close to each other.<br />
I told her that she was the last piece of Roper I had. We mourned<br />
Roper’s loss together and were never the same without him.<br />
After Roper’s passing, I left everything as it had been: the<br />
double doghouse, the two dog beds, even two food bowls, although<br />
only Annie remained. I reminded myself of a parent who cannot<br />
bear to dissemble their late child’s bedroom. Through the tears,<br />
I saw Annie was so lonely. So, I brought home Taylor. Since our<br />
Annie’s passing, Taylor and I are now alone. He and I mourned<br />
Annie’s passing together, which felt like losing Roper all over<br />
again. Before she died, Annie taught Taylor "the ways,” the same<br />
ways that Roper and Cricket had taught Annie.<br />
Now, 61-year-old me and 12-year-old Taylor remain. Where<br />
does it stop? Or, should it? The little farm I bought for us all seems<br />
empty, no more goats, Taylor is too old now to hike the trails we<br />
all enjoyed so together. My life will be so very empty without my<br />
Aussie family, so much of my identity. Will I travel? Will people<br />
even recognize me without my pack of friends?<br />
I used to unfold a picture of my dear Roper and set it by the<br />
bed when I traveled for work. Now, their ashes all sit in boxes on<br />
my bed stand. I no longer worry if they’re okay with the Petsitter.<br />
There’ll soon be silence, no “flap-flap” of the dog door announcing<br />
their arrival and departure, no shared shifts patrolling the property<br />
all night, no announcing visitors at the gate. Their only fault is that<br />
they don’t live long enough.<br />
My dogs have each been rescued or re-homed. Some of the<br />
nation’s best breeders have trusted me to love their dogs until<br />
their last breaths and I have, gladly. What did I ever do so right in<br />
my life to have been accepted and loved by these living miracles<br />
called Aussies? Could I ever love a new puppy without it ripping<br />
my heart out over the memories? Who would teach it the ways?<br />
If I got a puppy in a couple of years, I’d be about 75 yrs old when<br />
it passed. I won’t let myself die having left a dog behind. The real<br />
question is, could I go on living without an Aussie?<br />
