Choice started his herding at nine weeks
old on a carefully managed introduction to his duties as a working dog.
At six months old he entered his first herding trial and found out about
cattle, he loved them. It is hard to tell which he liked best ducks, sheep
or cattle. His ASCA Working Trial Championship was finished at fourteen
months old.
We took a month off from ASCA to earn his AKC Herding Advanced
title, the "HX" at 1 year old. I brought him back onto the AKC
courses after a year away to earn the AKC H.Ch at the age of 2 1/2.
At nineteen months old he earned his AHBA HTD-III with two high in trials
scored 98 and 91 (100 points possible). He now has completed the
requirements for his AHBA herding championship the HTCH, before his third
birthday.
AHBA added a new title in 2007 so at 10 years old I brought him back onto the trial scene. He earned his HTADIIIs title with 2 High In Trials with scores of 97.5 and 95.5.
Choice signing in at class for a turn at nine weeks old.
