December 5, 2006 - UPDATEWe have a new member of Eclipse Border Collies. Fox Hat Shock has joined us from Fox Hat Farms owned by Lara Forchuk. He will be competing in AHBA, USBCHA and AKC Herding along with Agility, Rally O' and Obedience.We want to Thank Lara for this wonderful boy. He is an asset to Eclipse Border Collies.November 13, 2006 - UPDATETara went to the last herding trial for the year. She was entered at the Windy Acres American Herding Breed Association Turkey Trot in Northfield, MN for her first leg of the HTAD I Sheep and HTD I Turkeys. She did very well and pulled a 3rd place qualification in the HTAD and qualified on her first time out on Turkeys:) Everyone kept telling me the turkeys were really different to work as in they split, charge/attack the dogs, and can be hard to move. Well they worked like our very stubborn Indian Runner Ducks. She had a blast and I need to work on reading her and the stock better. So look for us next year at the Turkey Trot to finish our HTD I Turkeys and our other AHBA title legs. Thank you Windy Acres for a wonderful trial!!October 27, 2006 - UPDATETucker finished his AKC OAJ title with all three 2nd places. He had a perfect run for his last one!! His NA run didn't go as well, since he walked the broad jump. He just can't seem to have it in him to jump that distance. So we are now running him in the lower jump height classes in any of his agility trials. Way to go my Tucker you give it your all:)Wagners Friar Tucker CGC NCC OAJOctober 8, 2006 - UPDATEAs of about two weeks ago, AKC has decided to break their association with Petland. We are not sure if we will compete in AKC after October 22 or not. It depends on what AKC replaces the contract with - higher entry fees or some other association. AKC is debating allowing mixed breed dogs in companion (agility, obedience, rally, etc) sports. If they decided to allow mixed breed dogs to compete; we may continue our competitions in agility, rally obedience and possibly herding. The future competitions have not been decided at this point.September 23, 2006 - UPDATEAs a result of the American Kennel Club forming an association with Petland to promote all puppies being sold through Petland Pet Stores for AKC Registration and to promote commercial breeders to sell dogs as AKC registered, Tucker will have his last and final agility trial at the FMKC on October 22 and after that we will no longer run in AKC trials or support the American Kennel Club.August 26-27, 2006 - UPDATEKia earned her final Rally Novice Q with a 94 on Saturday at the St. Croix Valley Kennel Club and on Sunday earned her first Rally Advanced Q with a 84.
