Cynde & The 3 Cool Border Collies - Kaffee, Myst, Beckett
KAFFEE
OTCH HTCh Contact Point Kaffee UDX4 OM7 RE HSAds HSBs HIAds HXAdsM OA NAJ OF
Kaffee earned his Advanced Masters title in AKC herding on Sunday May 6 at the Border Collie Club of AZ herding trail in Dewey, AZ. and officially retired. Kaffee is 13 1/3 years old and still has enjoyed working sheep and competing in AKC and AHBA trials locally. He had a wonderful last run yesterday with his good friend Dawna Sims and placed 3rd with a lovely score of 94.
Kaffee and I trialed together when he was much younger earning his started titles in AKC and AHBA. We then moved onto obedience where Kaffee earned his OTCH title in December 2014. After retiring from obedience Kaffee started worked with the talented Dawna Sims who trained and trialed him to his AHBA Herding Trial Champion (HTCh) title and his AKC titles.
Kaffee also earned his AKC Achiever Dog tile from AKC in December 2017.
I am so grateful that Kaffee has remained healthy and sound and continues to be my hiking partner and wonderful companion. What an amazing boy he has been. Always happy to do whatever I asked.

MYST
HTCh Cedar Red Myst UDX, OM1, PCD PCS HSAds HSB HIAdsM OA NAJ NF TKI
Myst had always been my wild and crazy red girl. She LOVES to run and when I took her hiking when she was a few years younger, she would never stop running. Myst is my best hiking partner with amazing recalls from where ever and always checking on me and never out of sight.
From the time she was a puppy she has loved balanced discs and doing tricks. She is amazing on the balance discs and now the slack line. See her web page and video below.
I trained and ran her in a agility for a few years until my knees let me know that I should no longer do agility. I then started working her in obedience and even though we do not show regularly Myst is one qualifying score away from her UDX. Unfortunately an OTCH is definitely not in her future.
When I started Kaffee herding, I asked Dawna Sims to work Myst. Myst has been quite a challenge since she is quite impatient and often does not respond to directionals, stops and down commands. She is so beautiful and flashy to watch when she herds that when she does get it right she is spectacular. Currently Myst is finishing her AKC Intermediate geese and sheep title and has earned her advanced titles in AHBA along with her Herding Trial Champion (HTCh) and all her ASCA titles.
Myst also received her Achiever Dog certificate from AKC.

BECKETT
Cedar Quantum Leap Beckett RN HSAdsM CGC
Beckett is now 2 years old and enjoys hiking off leash, chasing Myst on the trails, herding and obedience. He actively competes in AKC, AHDA and ASCA herding events. He recently was awarded a perfect score of 100 at an AKC herding trial on September 15th in Duey AZ. He was in a very competitive class of 22 dogs and won the class and HIGH IN TRIAL. Perfect scores are like the elusive 200 in obedience - seldom awarded and highly priced. The judge, Kathryn Howse wrote on his score sheet, "Prettiest run I have ever seen."
Beckett is the opposite of Myst and is not only quieter but also very thoughtful in his approach to learning. Due to this lovely characteristic Beckett started showing in herding trials when he was only 18 months old. He had only had a few months of training starting after he was 1 year old but just understood his job. At his first AKC herding trial he won all his classes with almost perfect scores earning him Highest Scoring Dog on Sheep and Geese and a HIGH COMBINED. Since this time he has gone on to get all his started titles in herding in AKC, AHBA and ASCA. He is working on his AKC Masters Started titles in sheep in geese.
I am training him in obedience and enjoy adding jump training and some agility work. Below is a video of our work with training stations and his first AKC herding trial in the fall of 2017 where we won HIGH IN TRIAL SHEEP.
Visit Beckett's web page to see his work starting at 8 weeks.
