| Introducing... Kuawarri Thistle STDcds |
| sire: *S/Bred Bic (import) "Rad" dam: Valley Chiqita "Chic" born 5-4-2005 breeders: Larry and Marilyn Painter owners: Darren and Kim Broster |
| 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! |
