Cattle DOG TRIAL
Each Dog and Handler are working against the clock and towards points, as they maneuver 3 head of cattle through an obstacle course. Each time an animal passes through an obstacle they make points. We joined this year with 2 other trials and are happy to announce this year we have a BC series. We will be hosting the last trial of the 3, and will be presenting prizes for Aggregate in each division over the 3 trials. (Previous trials include Armstrong April 20-21 2024 and Clinton June 15th & 16th)
There are 5 different events all working towards the aggregate of the trial.
Nursery: Dogs born after Oct 1st 2022. (Making them 3yrs or under)
Novice: The handler and the dog are both novice.
Intermediate: The Handler or Dog is a Pro, and the other is a novice.
Open: This is where both Handler and Dog are Pro.
Junior/Youth: 12 and under
Top dog will receive beautiful prizes for each division.
This trial is triple sanctioned by the BCSDA BC Stock Dog Assn, CCDA Canadian Cattle Dog Assn & MSCDA Mountain States Cattledog Association.
SHEEP DOG CLINIC
Raised at That’ll Do Ranch central Alberta by my parents Elvin and Jan Kopp. This is where my love for Border Collies was born and blossomed. My Dad competed in Stock dogs all my growing up years and taught clinics all over North America. To say I have attended a few is a understatement! As a young teen I competed some with my great dog Jill and had success. But Rodeo and speed took over my competition bug. Wyatt and I married in 2005 and started Creed Ranch followed by our 4 kids Blazen Bristol ,Luvada and Sequoia.
We have always had amazing working dogs both Cattle and sheep working together with That’ll Do . A year and a half ago the desire of so many people was to have consistent lessons and I stepped up. Now I teach weekly clinics with about 20 students that we have taken a group from pups to competing competitively in both sheep and cattle. This has got me back out on the trial field. The success has been huge as a Creed Ranch Team! Some of my training fundamentals are.
– Understanding your working dogs mind.
– Consistent and fair correction.
– Being a team.
– Timing! Pressure and release.
– Setting goals and dreaming big. (your big may be bringing sheep in at night and others may be to win the world)
I look forward to working with you and enjoying these amazing dogs!
