age! He gathered
his last needed point yesterday under Judge Sulie Greendale-Paveza by going
Winners Dog/Best Of Winners. Jackson was handled
by Paul & Kelley Catterson (www.alnairaussies.com/profession_handling)
over the last few weekends. Thank you Paul & Kelley
for doing a superb job with our boy! 14 points, which included 3 majors in
3 weekends! A HUGE thank you to Ellen Brandenburg
& Amy Garrison & my good friend, Ami Romanelli of Mercury for entrusting us with
Jackson. Your support over the last year has
been above & beyond what we could have ever expected. Jackson is our first
Champion at Navrock & we couldn't be more proud
of our red dog!! Jackson's conformation record can be viewed here

We are so happy to have
Jackson home so quickly!!!! Although he was only a few hours away & gone less
than a month, I missed my red dog like crazy!
Jax even beat his win photos home! How's that for fast?! Jackson will go
on to show in ASCA & work on adding to his 4 pt major
with Todd. Brandy Dirksen **** Navrock Australian Shepherds

CONGRATULATIONS
Brandy & Todd! Thank you Kelley & Paul for the outstanding presentation!
Ruler of the kingdom!
We bought an ATV not long
ago. The Royal Hotshot has decided that he'd rather check cattle from the back
of the ATV than run
next to it and risk overexertion. Every time he hears the engine turn over he
comes running and jumps on the back. Silly dog.
Brandy sends photos of their
new property in Iowa!
The sun sets on their new waterway!
Jackson LOVES his new farm!!!
