Sundowner Shoot November 2006

Everyone ran two go rounds with the top going to the finals. Razor's Blade won the average of the two goes in the Open and Jazz won the novice class. In the finals there were two more go-rounds that started with a clean slate. Blade had a great run in the first round but drew an eliminator yearling in the second. We got through two obstacles good but when we got to the third one head would not stop running around, every where but where I wanted her. Blade would not quit. It was like he knew we had to get her in order to win. And win he did, getting all three thru the third obstacle with only seconds left. Jazz won both her go-rounds and won her first buckle. It is a big honor to win a class at the Shootout. But to win both was a true blessing. God has been so good to me. . He has really blessed me and my dogs.   Keith

LONE STAR CATTLE DOG FUTURITY

in late October 2006. It was a wet rainy weekend. They had a open horse back class that was not advertised.. Razor Blade won first with Rockin G Rowel coming in second.

 Rowel got hurt in the Maturity class. He had about an hour before the Maturity Horse back class. I thought I was going to have to scratch him but right before it was time for him to run he quite carrying his back leg. So we went on out there. I guess he knew that if I say him limping I would not let him run. Rowel started his outrun good but when he hit the real deep mud he picked up his hurting leg. He ran the complete course on three legs and he even had to run hard and bite on the head to get yearlings stopped. He went on to win second place right behind Blade.

Wednesday September 14, 2005

 

Wednesday morning I headed out to west Texas to Odessa where there was a Texas Cattle Dog Trial Thursday. I won second in the first round of the open with Rob, third with Blade and fifth with Rowel. In the Pro-novice Speck won it as he also did in the second go-round.  Rob and Blade ended up tying on points for the average in the open with Rob coming out on top and winning the buckle. Speck won the buckle in the Pro-novice.

It turned out to be a good trip and I had a good time visiting with all my west Texas buddies. Sure was a long drive back to Louisiana from there the next day.      

 

 

 

Friday September 9, 2005

 

 I headed out to Durant, OK to the Sundowner Stockdog Assn. trial. They were using fresh cattle that had only been weaned for a short time. They were pretty rank and only a few dogs got their cattle loaded into the trailer. I was very fortunate to come out as good as I did, thank God. Rockin G Rowel won the open and the novice. Rockin G Rob won second in the open. Rockin G Speck won the Ranch. On Sunday Rockin G Rob won the open and Rockin G Speck won second in the ranch. I was thankful for all of that and the hospitality of Aaron and Shelly Hayes with whom I stayed with. Monday Aaron and I loaded up the trailer with 7 dogs and headed out to Broken Bow, OK to pen about 80 pairs of cows / calves for John Manning. When we got there some were already in the lot with the gate closed. Aaron said since we drove all this way, we will open the gate turn them out and let the dogs pen them. We had plenty more to pen though. We sorted off the cows and waited for Darrel Cook to show up and buy all the calves. It turned out to be a good day except when John fell into the creek and got hurt.
