In case you didn’t go to the Southwest Cattledog Association Futurity/Maturity/Finals. Our Judges were strict on No running and no crossing the handlers line. This is my futurity dog Annie in round two of Nursery Finals. She placed third in round 1, and was on her way to possibly winning round 2 and the average. And I was called for running right before the last obstacle. It really eats at me when I let a dog down. Specially a dog like her when she was trying so hard for me and she was laying down such a nice smooth fast run. None the less. I am very proud of my dogs this last week. They drew some very tough sets of cattle and they did all they could. That’s all I could ask for. I have to give thanks and praise to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for watching over us and keeping my dogs safe throughout the whole week. I dont deserve his Grace and Mercy. He’s way to good to me. ❤️🙏🏼 #AcostaCowdogs #/jAnnie
My first round of the futurity with Annie didn’t go quite as planned. Drew one spicy heifer that did NOT like the looks of me no matter where I stood. But I definitely think that Annie showed what she’s made of and no matter what I am proud of her. Thank you Joni Tietjen for picking this pup out for me and letting me purchase her. She’s truly a great one that I am extremely grateful for. Praise God for watching over us and keeping us safe and blessing us wayyyyy more than what I deserve.
Ok so Annie really digs watching old trial runs in the tv.. 😂
This is how we prepare our futurity dogs around here…. 🤣 Slash J Annie loves to watch Yellowstone… 🤠
Alice’s round two nursery win at the Tulsa State Fair trial. Check out the front foot bite on the cross drive. She definitely inherited that from her momma.
Timothy Neal and Gus had a great first round in the novice at the Diamond W Classic
Always fun to see a new owner go on and do well with a dog I trained. Good job Timothy Neal with Gus at the Nuckolls county classic. 😎
Uno penning sheep for some youngsters to work. He’s a youngster himself.. Uno is a son of Sam and is out of a king/cap bred female owned by Tim Neal. Uno is owned by Montana Mitchell and he put a good start on him. I have had him just over 30 days and the way this young dog works, and the way he wants to please and how fast he picks up on things really reminds me of Sam. He’s sure been a breath of fresh air.
AC Cheech in South Carolina this morning loading some calves. This is Bryson Rowe first stockdog. And it looks to me like he is a perfect fit for him. Bryson has only had him for about a month and it looks like they’re doing great together. Always makes me smile to get videos of new owners and their dogs getting a job done together. Cheech is a littermate to the young female I’ve been running AC Alice.
