dam: Valley Chiqita "Chic"
born 5-4-2005

breeders: Larry and Marilyn Painter

Flash!!
1st time out trialing and Thistle
earns her ASCA Started Cattle
and Started Sheep titles and a
leg on her Started Ducks title,
all with placements as well!    
The above photos show Thistle working cattle for the second time, ever.  The first time was the night
before in a smaller pen and these pictures show her out on the AKC A course size field.  
She was already fetching, driving, and taking them off the fence.

Thank you Larry and Marilyn Painter for selling us
such a talented Kelpie for our first venture into this breed.

Look for her at the trials in the future!
