Thought I'd catch up on some of the other fall trials we traveled to, and one of my favorites is the Chaffin's trial. What a wonderful trial! This photo was taken by Bev Grosse www.brushedbybev.com of me and Jim Chaffin, who hosted the trial with his wife Lola...I am accepting the award for the High Combined Overall in Open. The little noodle, Maya, did an amazing job all four days of Open, placing in every run and accumulating the most points for the 4 days of trialing! She was just brilliant, handling the nearly 600 yd outrun, feisty cheviots and challenging course with ease. I am proud and honored to partner with this wonderful and beautiful dog!
The prize for winning this award was a custom painting of the winning dog, painted by the talented Bev Grosse...how cool is that? I haven't seen the painting in person yet, but Bev finished it and sent a photo of the painting - I can hardly wait to see it in person!

Luc and Sue also ran at this trial, and put in some very nice runs...I am very pleased with how they are maturing and handling sheep at various trials! Luc placed 2nd one day with a beautiful run! Sue settled more each day (the pups had three runs each) and the 3rd day her run was very nice, beating her brother easily! Bev took this photo of Sue working at the trial, she's a stylish worker with a great feel for her sheep.
