Leierer, lots of friendly folk's, the chili was
very good, very laid back trial. The course

OSDA Playday & Novice Clinic
Saturday May 15th at 10 am

At Oaktree Border Collies in
Bartlesville, OK

Well, the rain held off, and we had very productive Playday!

We had a few newbies and a few interested spectators. We got started at 10 and broke for lunch around noon, and then
ended up around 5:30 with a mini concert by Landon Ferda. All involved felt like it was a very productive day.

We would like to thank Buford Barrett & Rebecca Ferda for sharing their knowledge. Rebecca for her "snake cookies"
(funny lady-haha- :)~) and Cindy Barrett for that Really Awful chocolate cake.

Well this won't take long to summarize, we went and got our butts kicked. :)
Na, we took a couple of young dogs that had never been in a indoor arena. So, after they got
through looking around, and got down to focusing on their stock, they both did a nice job. So
the trip was very good for them to see the outside world.

We enjoyed getting to see a lot of our MSSDA friends that hadn't seen in a few years. The
OSDA was represented by me & Ruth, Buford & Justin, Glenn C; Dwight S. and Michael P.
Woohoo!!!
I've just been invited to do the Large Dog Agility at the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge Finals
in St Louis in October. We were already invited for the 30 weaves. I just received an email that a
Large Dog member can't come and they enjoyed Joker and I so much that they want us to fill in.
YAY!!! That long tr...ip will be so much more worth it now. So excited!
Hi Tom-
They are starting to play the Purina IDC where
Joker won the weaves on TV now. Here is the link to
see when it will be shown locally. You just have to put
in your zip code.
Enjoy.

Last weekend, Joker and I were invited to the beautiful facility in cool Del Mar, CA to compete in the Western Regionals of the Incredible
Dog Challenge. Six teams were invited, and Connie with Spice and me with Joker were the only two from Arizona invited. I think we both
made AZ proud! I know I was super proud of my ”just” 2 year old boy who showed beautifully in both competitions, the Large Dog agility
and the 60 weaves pole races. Below are the videos from both events. We had a couple faults in the regular, but he brought home the gold
medal in the 60 poles. We now get to go to the Purina Farms in St Louis in October! The races were pretty close, but the Semi-finals were
the closest. You will see on the video below. They had to replay their footage to determine the winner, Joker by an inch and a half!

Duckhead Ranch Cattle Dog Trial
South Coffeyville, OK 4/17-18/2010
Hi everyone. If you weren't able to make it to the Duckhead Ranch cattle trial this weekend, I just wanted to let
you know what you missed. The generosity and hospitality from the Minor family and friends was
unbelievable!!. Several records were set for an OSDA sanctioned trial. On Saturday, there were 41 entries and
Sunday there were 40. We had 18 entries for open both days and also had a qualifying nursery class for both
days. Because of Mike's generosity, we paid back over $2000 in prize money. Mike provided additional prizes
– embroidered jackets, hoodies, and hats. Tom & Ruth Hines sponsored the overall buckle for the open. Mike,
Landon, and family did the setout and exhaust. Thanks to Rebecca Ferda's sons, Jim, Pam, Josh, Jenna, and
everyone that helped. Other members of the family were busy all day taking care of the handlers. No handler
went hungry. They provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They went above and beyond on every aspect of the
trial. Believe me that you do not want to miss their trial in the fall and future. Hopefully, Mike and his family
have survived the weekend and enjoyed it as much as we did. Again, THANKS SO MUCH TO THE MINOR
FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!!!

North of the River OSDA Benefit Results
Baum, Oklahoma - Feb. 27, 2010
We were unable to make it to the OSDA benefit trial, but it looks like our Jack dog was well represented in the Ranch Class. Sounds like Garry put
on a super nice trial!!!

What a wonderful weekend we had at Garry Glidewell's place. We couldn't have hoped for better
weather. In fact it was mentioned a few times that we must have died because we were in trial
heaven. The sheep were very even and behaved wonderfully. Big thanks to Angie Coker-Sells,
Mike Goracke, and Bob Brown for judging for us. Also, thank you to everyone who pitched in to
help from setting out, to scribing, to assembling and taking down the course, and everything else
that was done to make the first trial of the year a bug success!

Big thanks to Yancy Paul and his family. We appreciate so much all the hard work by everyone to makeboth trials
successful.  On Saturday, the cattle were nice. It was the largest entry one day trial we've had. It's a new record with 44
entries. We gained new members and made some new friends. In Sunday, despite the clouds and possibility of rain, the
trial was exceptional with good attendance. Thanks goes to EB Raley for judging. He said the quality of dogs had
improved from last year. Thanks to Blake, Keith & Marjorie, Josh & Jenna, Michael Povey for clerking, and Beth for
taking pictures, and everyone else who helped. Volunteers are a vital part of every trial. Again, thanks to Yancy and his
folks for the great place and great stock for trials. We hope to come back again. -Buford & Cindy Barrett
