I am so proud of these two boys. First, Chase had a great sheep run. He ended up with a fourth qualifying started leg and a fifth-place ribbon in the class, plus a second day as high-scoring Cardigan champion.

Pilot went to the conformation show. He made the cut in breed and then came to the trial to see if he would like to play with sheep.

I was stunned with how great he did. The tester was raving about Pilot’s native ability, his structure, and his beauty. Then Dixie told her that in fact he is currently #1 in the breed. Isn’t it great to have dogs that can do what they were originally bred for and be sound and beautiful too?
