June 12 IEHDA Trial!

My two sheep dogs, Grace & Juanita had another outstanding weekend!

I'll start my bragging with Juanita, the Chihuahua. She took more than a year "hiatus" from herding and only had two lessons before entering this trial. She tried the duck class and decided ducks weren't worth her time so I called the run. In her first sheep class she ran against 11 dogs and while she didn't place she finished the course and got a qualifying score for HTDI. In her afternoon class she faced 9 other dogs and finished 4th! She got another qualifying score and earned the title HTDIs (Herding Trial Dog level 1 on sheep). She is now recognized as Juanita HTDIs. Woo hoo!! She is still the only Chihuahua ever to have a herding title.
Grace did pretty well, although I believe she is jealous of Juanita and didn't put her best effort in. She was second in her first sheep class with a score of 75 and earned her HTDIIs title. She won both of her HTDIII duck classes with scores of 84 and 92.5. Her score of 92.5 earned her High In Trial. She also earned her HTDIIId title. Grace has 5 High in Trial scores and is now recognized as: Grace, ATDs, OPNcd, HTDIIs,ge, HTDIIId.
