UPDATE: ONE SPOT OPEN due to a cancellation.
Promise Pastures Herding and Training facility , located in Calhoun LA, is having a herding clinic (sheep) NOVEMBER 16-17, 2024, with Joy Hall. Cost is $200, which includes both days, (plus lunch, water)working at least twice per day. Limit is 12 teams. (Pm if interest)
Joy has been training border collies and Aussies for years and is an AKC and AHBA judge. Payment should be made by September 20 for a spot.
Joy Hall has been training dogs to work stock for over 37 years. She started with Catahoula and Texas Lacys, moving to Australian Cattledogs for many years. In 1999 a friend convinced Joy to give lessons, then trial her Border Collie. Before long, Joy was helping multiple herding breeds learn the intricacies of stock work.
Roux Crew students and dogs have earned over 300 titles with multiple HITs and RHITs at National Specialties like Belgian Shepherd, Belgian Tervuren, Bearded Collie, Border Collie, Cardigan Corgi, German Shepherd, Pembroke Corgi and Shetland Sheepdog. đ Joy won the ASCA National Finals Duck Championship with a fourth in Finals Cattle and a seventh in Finals Sheep with a three year old Aussie in the first year of competing. She has placed in the top ten in all three stocks as well as winning the coveted Texas Shootout.
Her Border Collies excel in both ranch work and trialing, working cattle, sheep, ducks and geese with ease. She won at Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo, and the Fort Worth Stock Show. She competes successfully at the Open level in USBCHA as well.
Her belief is that a person should never stop learning and should always strive to improve their level of competence.
