Shadow goes to BC Nationals

Went to the BC Nationals spent the week had a really great time. Met alot of new people and saw some great BC's. Watched herding, rally, obedience, agility. It was awesome. Embarrassing moment for me. Shadow jumped across me and out the window into the herding ring while a competitor was showing. She rounded up the sheep but didn't know what to do after that. Luck would have it and the judge just stopped the trial. Got shadow out. I apologized to the judge and the competitor after they were done. They both were real nice and said it happens more then one would think. Shadow took 4th in puppy sweeps. She was looking really good. Jenny Fish showed Shadow for me at the Nationals and did an exceptional job. Denise set that up for Barb and Me many great thanks to both. On Thurs all the girls I hang out with got there and Ronna, Karen and some of their friends. They all pitched in to help me get Shadow ready for the ring. They are just awesome friends. They did really well there and stacked up ribbons on the wall. Debbie Butt showed up on Thursday and brought my new pup. We, Barb and I, finally decided on her home name which is Magic from some of her background. Haven't come up with a registered name yet. Pics and pedigree to follow on my site.

2009 Border Collie Nationals

Shadow crossed the states to show in the 15 to 18 month class. We watched some of the herding classes and Shadow decided to let herding instinct take over when she jumped out the car window and took to the herding arena! She was not the competitor at the time.
