In 1997 I started looking for another Aussie, as my old Aussie was getting on in age and it was time for a young dog. In 1998 I was introduced to Marti Parrish at the ASCA Nationals in Colorado. She had a couple of her dogs
with her and I really liked them. Marti was very helpful and answered all of my questions and agreed to sell me a dog.
In August of 1999, Marti contacted me that she had a litter. I had just lost my old Aussie, so the timing was perfect. I ended up with the most awesome red Aussie and a lot of really wonderful new friends. I was not going to use this dog for anything more than running a few roping steers, or so I thought! I ended up working her on sheep, it was all so fun and I was hooked!
Our first trial was at the 2001 ASCA Nationals. We had never even been around a course, yet we ended up 5th place in the Nationals trial on sheep. I didn't know how to train a dog for trial work, but Marti helped me every chance that she got.
Dally was a fun dog to work and she has covered many of my mistakes! She did not like to lose her sheep and was really good at covering fast sheep. Dally had a nice low heel on cattle and will go to the head. This girl really likes to work!
At home, I used Dally to gather the sheep when they are grazing or when they wander too close to the road. She has a really sweet temperament and is always happy to hang out.
In April 2008 at the Cowboy Classic in Whitesboro, TX, Dally got her final advanced sheep leg under judge Preston
Kissman who also was the 1st judge we ever trialed under and got her first score in started sheep. She also got her 1st advanced cattle leg at the Cowboy Classic.
I WTCH'd Dally and she did it in style at the Colorado Classic in Kiowa, CO. She only needed 1 leg in cattle to
complete her WTCH. Not only did she get the qualifying score, but she was HIT cattle for that trial. That felt so good and WOW we did it! I hope to WTCH her daughters a little faster but have no regrets the about the road Dally and I have been on.
Dally was a great tracking dog as well - she has her ASCA & AKC TD,
and she is more than ready to get her TDX. I had two of Dally's daughters, Bit and Rein, they were really cool and fun to work.
