3rd generation farmer.
Karana Kelpie Stud started 1987.
Won 10 National Kelpie Field trails and come 2nd 13 times.
Holds Eugowra utility and yard dog trails yearly.
Kevin brought a wealth of knowledge specifically this weekend for trailing competitions.
Day one morning he started in training yard to give an overview of basics and sus people and their dogs out. He was very impressed with the level of dogs and handlers that attended. He went through the blocking system as we had some old school pointers in the group.
After morning tea, we hit the yards with Kevin going through tricks on how not to lose points during a trail. Tips on getting the best out of your dog.
Day 2 we had set-up a rough utility course and the participants and their dogs had a go at running the course. Ending the day with some casting advice. Kevin also covered different tools to be used at different times and levels of training.
Some Happy dogs over the weekend. The dogs loved having a dip in the tub after a run with the sheep. It was a hot weekend.
Look out for Eugowra Trails in 2024 – Utility 22-24th March.
A huge thank you to Kevin. And his lovely wife Kay for minding the farm and dogs while Kevin was with us.
