Brags and Achievements 2025

I had some major health issues followed by major surgery the last few months of 2024 and into mid 2025. I am BACK baby! My wonderful puppies I've produced have been very very busy and I want everyone to know how successful they are,  and how proud I am of them all! I am including the achievements for the end of 2024 with the 2025 achievements and brags!

We had a blast at the Downriver Herding Trial on the Sepember long weekend. Carlee and I were back together getting our team work together, after my long absence  due to my ankle fusion surgery. We day one was the AHBA trial, and Carlee earned her HTAD1 title very nicely in two runs. Carlee  qualified every run on Saturday, and pulled of a Reserve High in Trial on Sunday from the CKC Started class. And after some 'gentle' prodding from my coach, I decided to move Carlee up to the Intermediate level, and we earned our first Q and first place in Intermediate Sheep! What fun!

Miss Carlee had a fabulous weekend at the Downriver herding trial in May this year, earning two legs of her Stock Dog Started on sheep and  finishing her CKC Started title, and HIGH IN TRIAL along the way!! Thanks to Kylee who showed Carlee while I recovered from ankle fusion surgery! If that wasn't enough Carlee was awarded the coveted Pepsi prize, which is awarded to the dog that shows the greatest stockmanship and kindness to their stock over the course of the entire weekend (four days of trialing!) I am incredibly proud of Carlee for demonstrating just how wonderful and versatile our beloved breed is. BTW this is the second time a Zirkcreek pup has been awarded the Pepsi prize.  Carlee's uncle Draco was awarded the same prize in 2024. I am over the moon proud of all our Zirkcreek pups!

Aleesha also made her debut in herding at the same trial. Kylee and Aleesha won Reserve High In Trial, earning her first leg in Started Sheep. What a great debut Aleesha!

Dreamer also has been trying his paw at Fast Cat, which he LOVED! He's also tried Disc, which again, he loves!! He's got 14 points and is very consistent at catching the frisbee! Dede also took Dreamer for an instinct test in herding, and he was very kind to his stock and showed promise for the sport if Dede can ever find time along with all the other fun sports he gets to play in, also proving this handsome and smart fellow is not just a pretty face! Good boy Dreamer!! Below Dreamer with his Grandpa Wit and his great auntie
