Dallas is pictured here with Kathy and judge Terry Kenney at the 2003 AKC National Specialty where she completed her Herding Excellent title with three consecutive "B" course placements at the specialty. She also won a beautiful Silver Belt Buckle for the 3rd time for "High Scoring Champion" on the B Course.

Dallas has numerous titles on sheep and ducks from AHBA and ASCA, but mostly competes at the Open level of USBCHA (border collie) Herding Trials. Dallas was one of 82 dogs in a 13 state region who qualified for competing in the Midwest Regional Sheepdog Championship in Kansas in November, 2003. She made it into the semi-finals, and finished 12th overall. This was quite an accomplishment, and she did a wonderful job.

Dallas is a superb athlete with an impeccable work ethic and a wonderful temperament and personality. I am blessed to have her in my life - she has taught me so much, and continues to do so. She helps me daily with my work, and is a natural spiritual healer and teacher who helps many of my students and clients.

I thank Pam and Shirley for bringing such a wonderful companion and friend into my life!
