Spring 2022 - Stryker achieved another first in the breed - he finished his 4th herding championship - the ASCA Farm Trial Championship!! He is on such a roll and really coming in to his own as a stock dog. Next up the WTCH-X!

Feb 2022 - Stryker did an awesome job at the BCCAZ Scentwork Trial, qualifying in 6 of 8 runs. On Sunday he qualified in all 4 elements and was High In Trial - Advanced.

2021 Updates - The last scent work trial of 2021 was pretty successful for Stryker - he finished his Novice exterior title to complete the SWN title. He also achieved a few legs in advanced.

In July we made the trek to Oklahoma City to do a little conformation and scent work. It was a great weekend and I was able to finish Stryker’s Bronze Grand Championship and get a few scent work qualifying runs as well.

Stryker finished his AKC herding championship making him the second vallhund to have achieved this, AND becoming the second AKC Dual Champion in the breed.

We are working in scent work, rally, and agility as well. Stryker is very close to becoming the breed’s first ASCA Farm Dog champion and will continue to work on his WTCH-X.

Stryker finished his AHBA Herding Trial Championship and is making great strides to his ASCA field championship and has completed the advanced field trial title on sheep and the open field trial titles on mixed flock and ducks. We managed to work in some scentwork as well.

2019 has been a herding focused year for Stryker, he is making progress on his championships in all three venues. He has 8 points in AKC, his ASCA advanced sheep and geese titles, and has 5 points towards his AHBA HTCH.

Stryker’s 2018 included finishing his SVCA Versatility Championship - becoming the youngest in our breed to date - at 3.5 years old. He is continuing in his herding training, finishing his intermediate AKC titles on sheep and geese and completing the started cattle title.

2018 Specialty - Stryker won the Regional Specialty, and like his father is now a Best in Specialty Show. He also achieved a reserve high in trial award at the specialty from the intermediate class.

Stryker is a Laila and Zar son, from Laila's first litter.  I knew there was something special about him from very early on.  He was not supposed to stay but after a few weeks I knew that he would.  

At two years old, he is proving to be one of the best working partners I have had.  His work on stock is very natural and he learns everything I teach him very quickly.  

He has done well in the show ring already too; he finished his championship at 22 months old and has 2 group placements already, a group 3 and a recent group 4.

Stryker is following in his Father's footsteps, in every arena.
