Slash V Sweet Innocent Josie, STDs, DNA-CP

DOB 12/08/1999

 

Josie is a Diamond S Sam daughter out of Slash V Sweet N Innocent (Lodi).  She was the second bitch that I acquired with Slash V /Hang’n Tree breeding.  Josie is a full sister to WTCH Slash V Dark Rider PATDsc.  Dark Rider (aka Sam) was a young male that I was able to observe being trained at my farm here in Georgia for Terry Martin's Slash V Kennel to compete in the 2000 ASCA Nationals.  After changing owners several times, we acquired Sam and he completed his WTCH. Sam was perhaps the most complete working dog that I'd had the pleasure to own and watch mature: Powerful on cattle; Finesse on sheep; Stealthy on ducks. 

Josie is a dark blue merle female that was brought because of her genetic potential and believe us she produces it.  She is a very powerful worker that handles cattle with ease and as you can tell below prefers the head.  She has a lot of power and courage on stock despite her size. Josie is retired and enjoys trips to the barn to fetch the sheep and move them to the arena to sort.

She is probably the most loving, cuddling Aussies I have ever had.  Her preferred spot at night is either under my feet or curled up in my lap.  She is very protective and territorial.  She is reserved with strangers and keeps her distance until she senses their purpose and our acceptance of them.

Josie's only trialing time was in May of 2003, when I went to Dothan, AL to watch a trial.  I did not go to compete with Josie but was talked in to it on the second day by Russ Ford.  She received qualifying scores from Roger Stevens (83) cattle and (86) in sheep/goats.  I was only able to trial her under Russ in sheep.  She earned a qualifying score of 71.  We are looking at some great potential in her off spring.

Teamwork...

How could you not love this face.
