TESSA

TRIPLE Herding Trial Champion and USBCHA Open Trial Dog

Tessa is now HC/HTCH/WTCH Tessa HXBs, HXAc,HXAd, HTD III-s, HRD III-s, ATDscd, CS, TC!!!  (Prairie Star Ninja X Morrow's Roy)

Since our move to Southwestern VA, Tessa had proven to be quite gunshy. I had hoped to continue trialing her in Open USBCHA trials in VA but this second year's deer hunting season has seemed to be even more terrifying to her than the first year's deer season, causing her to attempt to flee on more than one occasion. Thus, to avoid additional fear in her life, she was been placed with our dear friend, Stephanie Solario, in CA in December 2007.

Thanks to Stephanie, Tessa finished her AKC Herding Championship in early October, 2008, with points to spare. Tessa and Stephanie earned their HC points from the AKC B Sheep class, where Stephanie completed her first competition sheds. My deepest thanks to Stephanie for finishing this title for me! Now it is on to Pro-Novice for the two of them. May they have many more herding successes together!!!
