This blue dog sets out, flanks well, does some back and forth wearing to push cattle. In this run it is not apparent that she has typical slinky border collie eye but acts immediately with presence to stop cattle from going in the wrong direction. The handler and dog have only 4 minutes to show their stuff in this run. There was a basic course but in truth, it took all of the teams at least 3 minutes and 50 seconds just to get this batch of stargazing, distracted, energized adolesant cattle to get the idea that a dog might be something to heed.
There is not the luxury in this run to show any style at all, but mainly just to show how a dog can put a stop on a bolting steer.
She does her best and gets trammeled near the end but bounces back up. In the end a job well done.
