What's New!!

April 6, 2008 - UPDATE

This was a great weekend for us:)  At the Fargo Moorhead Kennel Club we finished three Rally Excellent titles:)  We had some very fun runs and some not so great - but qualifying runs:-)

So let me introduce:

Wagners Friar Tucker CGC NCC TN-N OAJ RE - he gave me his last Rally runs and like I promised he doesn't have to do competitive obedience anymore.

Wagners Blue Eye Kia CGC CD RE - she finished her Rally Excellent runs with some decent scores. Kia started her Rally career at FM and she earned her RE there.

Rising Sun Tara CGC PT RE - she finished her Rally Excellent title with scores in the 90s. 

Great job Eclps dogs.

March 10, 2008 - UPDATE

This was another great weekend for Eclps dogs.  We were entered in the Wright County Kennel Club trial held at TCOTC and brought home two new titles:)

Tucker is now: Wagners Friar Tucker CGC NCC TN-N OAJ RA (he earned his Rally Advanced title on Saturday and moved up to Rally Excellent on Sunday and earned his first RE leg with a 1st place 95:) He has once again let me know he will do Rally for me, but obedience is out for him:)  Oh well... we'll try another time:)

Tara is now: Rising Sun Tara CGC PT RA (she earned her Rally Advanced title on Saturday and moved up to Rally Excellent on Sunday and earned her first RE leg with a decent score:)

Kia earned her first RE leg with a 4th place on Sunday and only needs two more for her RE title.

Way to go Tucker, Tara and Kia we had a blast.

February 25, 2008 UPDATE

After spending 6 months off - we came back with a bang:) 

Dani and I went to the Minneapolis Kennel Club Obedience & Rally trial hosted at the Twin Cities Obedience Training Center with Tucker, Tara, Kia and Jake.  We left with 7 qualifications and two new titles!!

Tucker earned two legs towards his Rally Advanced title.

Tara earned two legs towards her Rally Advanced title.

After spending 13 weeks in the hospital to bring our new addition into the world - We would like to introduce our 2 legged family member.  Danika was born 12/03/2007 weighing 6 pounds 5 ounces.  She has brought many changes into our lives:)

Tara had some great moments, but no Q - we had some great moments and I am sure proud of her for her second time out after maternity leave.  She also earned a wonderful compliment from Judge Becky Beckmann of "Nice Work"

July 9, 2007 UPDATE

Tucker, Tara, and Jake ran in the Agile Canines NADAC trial at the Soccerblast in Burnsville, MN.  Tucker finished his Tunnelers Novice title, Tara earned her first Tunnelers leg, and Jake actually listened to me out there and did our team proud.

May 30, 2007 - UPDATE

Tara bred to Shock had seven healthy puppies on May 28th.  She started at 6:04pm and was done by 8:56pm.  Eclipse Border Collies welcomes our first litter of 3 boys and 4 girls.  Check out the Breeding Plans to see pictures of these babies!!

May 17, 2007 - UPDATE

Shock had a wonderful day at our first AHBA trial this year.  He earned the first leg of his HTADIIs and had a wonderful run in HTDIIs, but no qualification (the sheep slipped back through a set of panels and I didn't see them).  We received lots of compliments from the Judge and just plain had a great day. 

March 27, 2007 - UPDATE

Tucker had a wonderful two days at the Fargo Kennel Club Agility trial.  On Friday he double Qed with First places and on Sunday he took a 2nd place Q in Jumpers.  He really loves the 16" jump height.  Tucker now needs one more Q for his Novice Jumpers Preferred title and two more for his Novice Standard Preferred.

February 24, 2007 - UPDATE

Shock earned his Canine Good Citizen certificate.  Congratulations Shock - way to go.

Shock is now: Fox Hat Shock CGC

January 8, 2007 - UPDATE

We attended the St. Paul Dog Training Club Rally and Obedience Shows on Thursday and Friday and than attended the Land O' Lakes Show on Saturday and Sunday for three Rally & Obedience Days.  During this weekend we put three new titles on Eclipse dogs and earned legs towards two more.  Jason handled Jake for both of their first times and put two Rally Novice legs on Jake. I handled Kia in novice obedience for the first time and put two legs on her.  While we finished Tucker, Tara and Kia's Rally titles.

What some great runs Eclipse Dogs:)

December 5, 2006 - UPDATE

We 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 - UPDATE

Tara 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 - UPDATE

Tucker 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 OAJ

October 8, 2006 - UPDATE

As 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 - UPDATE

As 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 - UPDATE

Kia 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.  Congratulations Little Kia:)

Kia is now : Wagners Blue Eye Kia CGC RN

August 18, 2006 - UPDATE

Jake and Tara both ran in their first Herding Trial Dog I (HTDI) course in the American Herding Breed Association.  It wasn't perfect but we got the job done and both qualified.  HTDI equals Herding Started Dog Course A (HSA) in AKC.

Congratulations Jake and Tara for a job well done.  We now know what we need to improve on - those pesky straight lines:)

June 26, 2006 - UPDATE

Tara and Jake both earned their AKC PT title with flying colors.  The Judges said both were nice dogs and we did a great job working the stock.
