it did not go well at all!
She was really cranked up before her run, she could hardly contain
herself, so I figured it would be hard to get a hold of her at the
top, especially cause of the distance.
I thought she knew where the sheep were set out but when we got to the
post it was clear she didn't have a clue. I sent her to the right but
she did not cast out well and started to cross o er about 30 yards
out, I stopped her, told her to Look, she did and cast herself out to
the left crossing over the course. Not good, but her cast was
beautiful wide and deep, so I had hopes for the rest of the run. That
hope was soon dashed when she lifted with a bang.which caused the
sheep to run, and she then wouldn't stop or flank...I am pretty sure
she gripped on the lift...and now it was basically a chase down the
field ending with a "thankyou" from the judges. Fortunately she called
off right away.
I am disappointed but pleased with the way she kicked out on a great
outrun not knowing where the sheep were.
It was a tall order for such a youngster with so little experience! We
walked back to the camper and she looked at me clearly saying come on,
let's go again, now that I have that out of my system'. She is so
cute!!!
Luc runs at the end of the day...wonder if he will have a better
run...I hope so!!!

Kathy that was pretty damn good control for an excited dog who did not know where the sheep were and "came upon them". Boy am I learning to appreciate fences and open fields! - I remember asking you quite a while ago why I couldn't just take Tag out to such a field and have a go! Bless you for thinking she was cute. Positive and peaceful wishes sent your way...you too Luc
