It's been a busy time on the Fleurieu with the Finniss and Strathalbyn trials.
Milton took out first and second place at Finniss with Andrina Floss and Wondara Banjo respectively. Both dogs worked really well.
At the Strathalbyn trial Charlotte came second in the Junior Handler class with Rivercoe Roy. Annie Doecke, who attended a Stage 1 Stockmanship and Sheepdog Training Day with us last July, took out the win in the Encourage class with her dog, Jemma. Congratulations to both girls!
The Junior Handler and Encourage events are giving valuable experience to new triallers, with modified courses but the same sense of achievement!
Milton was really happy with the way his dogs worked, but was outclassed this time. Banjo made the final, but came sixth.
