Chap

For 2019... a nice 4th and best lady (!) Rose Bowl again...

Towards the end of last year, Chap had intermitant lameness issues, with no cause shown up by X rays or blood tests.

Happily some Mactimeny and some remarkable joint supplement tablets have seen him right back on form, entered once more for the English Nationals.

 

His first national Single...

The buzzer went JUST in time!

 

6th on 2nd day Nationals

(This is actualy at Ryedale show, same sort of sheep!)

Reserve in the team to go to Ireland!!!!!

Mean sheep!

 

Won Harden Moss, 2nd on the champs!

Chap with son Jupiter...22-9-17-

both qualified Herding Trial Dog 111 under our two juges from California, as did Lynn Morland, making it feasible for us to apply to become an AHBA judge.  the first in the UK.

 

Thank you boys... And ladies!!!
