A.I. Semen Shipment Dates
The last date for inclusion into the USA-bound shipment is July 17th and Australia, July 25th. If you are interested in having semen shipped at the same time, please let us know as soon as possible. The cost of shipping is being shared amongst a number of customers so the shipping costs are a fraction of the regular price. Semen can be stored in these countries for future use so even if you do not have an immediate need for this, it is an excellent opportunity to save some money on the shipping costs. Please contact Angie for more information at 2angiecan@gmail.com. We have a limited amount of semen available from Bobby Dalziel's Joe, Angie's Cheviot Jamie, Kevin Evans' Spot, and we are accepting reservations for Kevin's Mirk and Jaff, and Michael Gallagher's Cap. For more information on each dog, please go to the For Sale page by clicking here or contact Angie at 2angiecan@gmail.com.
Islwyn Trial, Wales
The Islwyn Trial was held June 27th in hot and sunny conditions. Early on the sheep were touchy and quite challenging to manage but improved markedly towards the end of the day. The best run of the day by far was Kevin Evans and Spot, who put on a polished performance. Super! Meg did the best of our lot although she and Angie timed out at the pen :-( David Rees judged the trial and allowed every competitor the full time limit of 10 minutes for their run (no standard! yippee). Results were:
1. Kevin Evans and Spot (-6)
2. Paul Tomkins and Arnie (-11)
3. Aureen Price and Jill (-16)
4. Nigel Watkins and Lad (-22)
5. Paul Tomkins and Peg (-22)
6. Dai Meek and Shona (-23 OLF)
7. Angie Driscoll and Meg (-23)
