The Manitoba Stock Dog Association would like to thank the Prairie Shepherds 4H for including us in their Gathering of the Flock Show & Sale at Neepawa and Angela Viola for all her hard work in organizing the event and sponsors.  Angela has done a wonderful job, not only with the 4H but also with the Manitoba Sheep Associaion and the Manitoba Stock Dog Association to present the public with such a wonderful show & sale with so many other interesting and informative displays.

The Prairie Shepherd 4H should be very proud of what they have accomplished.  They are a wonderful group to work with and very entertaining in the show ring.  Thank you.

2011 National Sheepdog Finals Blog
This link is to a blog profiling the handlers going to the US Border Collie Handler's Association National Finals in September.  There are some Canadians being profiled in the most recent posts. The last post was about Amanda Milliken of Kingston, ON. I just read the most recent one about Scott and Jenny Glen (Alberta, woot woot!) There is some pretty sage advice in there for anyone in this hobby. Plus it's just more enjoyable reading about herding, for the obsessed. Nice write-up Jenny!

 

'He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader.  He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.'
