Kane came to us from Rising Sun Farms in Stacy MN. I still call Becky often to tell her how "blessed" I feel that she let this man go so I could have the pleasure to trial him. Shortly after he arrived we enjoyed trialing him at the USBCHA novice level and won our class! Then Kane & I stepped out on the "HSBs" course (AKC) and walked away with a perfect score with our outrun & lift both days and a 1st place on Sunday (giving him Reserve High in Trial).
He is nothing short of a joy to train and trial. He has the patience to work my ducks, yet the presence and power to work cattle (heading and heeling when needed).

Since then his trial career has really taken off. He earned his ASCA WTCH in one short season of trials (beginning in mid April and finished the WTCH early Sept), with many High in Trial Other Breeds along the way.

He earned his AKC Advanced "A" course titles both sheep and ducks with all placements, and even took some heavy duty 1 st majors away from those hunting them. He since has been trialed VERY lightly as an advanced titled AKC dog and is well over half way to his AKC herding Championship with both his majors and both his 1st placements. He also has earned a very VERY nice High in Trial from the Advanced course.

We also have no problem running in the USBCHA trials as well. He has earned 4 National Finals points on cattle in just one trial (a huge first place over 21 dogs!) We also try our hand at Points + time trials on sheep as well.

As a proven producer of numerous titled offspring (in both herding & agiility). He has offspring that are MACH agility dogs, AKC advanced titled herding dogs, many have High in Trials and others have placements at the national level in agility. I have also been informed he has a daughter that is currently certified as a SAR dog as well. Not to mention he is beginning to have grandchildren out doing things and others that are showing tremendous potential. I am very excited what his man can add to our gene pool here at Plum Ridge.

Watch for exciting updates on his boy both as a stud and on the trial field.
