Regalo Australian Shepherds
2024 News
We started back on stock with Kirsten Cole in June. Retro loves Kirsten and is making progress! Above all, Retro is loving every minute (why we do these things!). Ducks a few times but concentrating on the sheep and how to be a stock dog in the tub. Retro also gets exposure to sorting and putting stock away (ranch dog!). So happy for him.
Having fun in Agility! We have been working with Noriko Aso at her home for about 8 months and in September, we tried our first show and go on a big field with friends Kelly and Paula. Yay Retro for getting 12 weave poles! Both dogs are getting it and above all, we all had fun!
Started Sheep
Porsche, Retro and Zenyatta
What a fun April week in Dewey AZ! We attended Retro’s first stockdog trial and had a litter reunion with co-breeders Cameron Leopold and Nancy and Curt McKee (all the way from Texas). Retro loved his sisters! Retro was awesome earning his Started and Open Sheep titles as well as his Started Cattle title. Big thanks to Cameron for his handling skills. So nice to see old friends, make new ones and to be there for the success of our other Wiz Kids - doing well in stock, rally, obedience and confirmation!
Yay for first points! In spite of the rain, Retro was Winners Dog/Best of Winners at one of the Ocean View shows on January 20th for a 5-point major under judge Laurie Atkinson. He was also Reserve Winners Dog at the second show under judge Loralee Runnells. Thank you judges! Great handling from the Erica/Avery team - off we go!
