Two talented youngsters

These two youngsters has started their training at 16 month of age. Ted and Fanny is in many ways similar in the way they work. Very positiv, open, and there is “plenty” in them.

Ted and Fanny is out of Chica and by Bob, we have done this combination before with great succes, that’s the reason why we have kept these two pups.

2009

2009 was another succesfull trialingyear for our dogs.

First of all, Chica won the Danish National doublegather final, on a very challenging course.

Bob won the Storå Cup arranged by Peter Hélen in Holstebro.

Storå Cup is a new cup of four trials over the year. One open trial, one open with 16 sheep and sorting, and finally two doublegather trials.  Best dog all together is the winner. Bob won the Storå Cup with a clear margien.

The best victory in 2009 was Willi winning the “Landskonkurrence”, on a tuff course and very difficult sheep.

Two days with open trials, best dog all together is the winner. Bob came 3th.

Willi is proving to be as good as predicted.

This was the 6th time we are winning the “Landskonkurrence”.

Tweed two times, Jill two times, Bob one time and now Willi one time.

The World of Sheepdogs

In the new book “The World of Sheepdogs” there is, among many other,  a portrait of Bob and I.

The book is written by Angie Driscoll from Wales.

About the Book
The World of Sheepdogs is a photographic tribute to working sheepdogs the world over.  We hope that for the many border collie and trialling enthusiasts around the world this book puts form and face to some of the dogs and handlers that most of us only get to read about in the results columns of local newspapers. The book features fifty-two dogs and their handlers from nineteen countries, plus many other photographs of top-flight sheepdogs.
