Tanner is very laid back and very biddable. She would fit well into the home of a first time dog owner. However, she is also a stock dog though and through with a strong drive to work stock, a strong work ethic, a strong stock ethic and lots of stock savvy. She has nice movement and agility. Her breeders have a horse outfitting business and she put many miles going with the horses along the trails, which is testimony to her good structure and to her drive to keep going all day. Many of ancestors are more worked on ranches than trialed. Both her maternal grandparents worked in livestock sales yards. Tanner always works with a calm, clear, thinking mind. This is true whether she be delicately handling ducks or heeling make-me-move cattle. (She has no trouble making cattle move, even off of hay they want to eat.) I can have her hold my goats to the gate so I can catch one and pull it through to milk it or otherwise attend to it, all the while leaving Tanner still in the main pen with the rest of the goats where she will quietly wait for my next request of her. I recently overheard some saying that she found Tanner's quiet power beautiful to watch.
Tanner has good rate and makes tiny adjustments to the stock either by alternately moving her head (eye) toward and then away from the stock (when beside the stock) or by leaning to one side and then pulling herself back to center (when behind the stock). Sometimes, when fetching stock that are a bit too “follow-me” I’ll find Tanner has stopped walking up because she is thinking that they don’t need any push.
I’ve had people remark how nice her “off balance” work is. She will place herself anywhere on the clock that she reads she needs to be to keep the stock moving properly even if that is to the side or ahead to slow them down.
Tanner is a strong and stylish heeler. She will hit a heel and then release the pressure, giving the cow a chance to move away. She does not harass. Tanner will go head to head with this rather recalcitrant goat buck I have. But she is not as strong on cattle heads. Still I have seen her bite cows on the nose, and go around to stop cattle provided they weren’t moving too fast. When charged by cattle, she dodges out of the way, but does not run off. Indeed, usually she comes back in to give a heel correction. I suspect with more experience, she will get stronger on cattle heads.
I am fortunate to have good videos of her working. See some of them at the bottom of this webpage.

Tanner's accomplishments
HTADI-s = American Herding Breed Association's Herding Trial Arena Dog Level I Sheep
This title can be earned on one of four courses involving several obstacles including a free standing pen. Tanner got each leg on a different course, both with placements.
HTDI-s = American Herding Breed Association's Herding Trial Dog Level I Sheep. This is an open field course similar to the border collie course. Tanner got both her legs on the same day, both with placements. See one of the runs below in the video section.
RLFII-s = American Herding Breed Association's Ranch Large Flock Level 2 Sheep.
We ran this course under the French Course rules of the France's Commission d'Utilisation Nationale Chiens de Troupeaux (abbreviated CUN Troupeaux). Professional shepherd and CUN Troupeaux judge Jean-Luc Vadakarn came over from France to design the course and judge the trial. Tanner changed his whole impression of the breed as he had only seen "Teddy Bears" (presumably show line dogs who didn't do much of anything on stock) before. Now, he is aware of the talent of working line Australian Shepherds.
When we first practiced on the Bel Canto sheep two days before the trial, Tanner did not know what to do with sheep that ran past me instead of balancing to me as she was used to. I wondered if she could even pass level I. But as is usual for her, she figured out what she needed to do to control the stock. She got better and better at it each time on the stock such that after her first RFLI run, I bumped her up to level II and by the last trial run her score was 95.5% and rated Excellent.
Brevet - We went to northern California to get another AHBA French Course RFLII-s leg under a second CUN Troupeux judge. We easily passed under Jean-Michel Jolly to get France's certification as an official working dog.
STDcds - Australian Shepherd Club of America's Started Trial Dog title earned separately on cattle, ducks and sheep.
We competed on all 3 stock in 6 trials over 3 days for a total of 18 runs at WASCON in Gardnerville, NV. The ducks were wonderful with no stickiness to the back fence and each set was tested for cohesiveness by the duck owner when making up the sets. The sheep were light, but sensible. The cattle were very challenging; they were intent on breaking back to the back fence. While the dog worked to stop one from breaking away, another one would escape through the hole left by doing that. We qualified 16 times, with the 2 NQ on cattle and placed 16 times including several firsts. There was a separate Most Promising Started Aussie award for all 6 trials combined (a big rosette) and for just Saturday and Sunday combined (a beautiful belt buckle). We won both MPA awards!! At the first day's awards, judge Jim Hartnagle (Las Rocosa) said that Tanner's duck run (trial 2) was his treat of the day and that her score of 94 was the highest he had ever given for Started Ducks! We broke his record again on the third day, when JH gave us a 97!! I had several Aussie people come up to me at the trial and ask what her bloodlines were. When I brought out her pedigree, they eagerly examined it.
We also competed in STD on all 3 stock in 6 trials over 3 days for a total of 18 runs at ASC AZ in Dewey, AZ. The first day was all Course D and the next 2 days were all Course B. We qualified 17 out of 18 times with the one NQ on D cattle, but even that was a first place. We got 13 First places, 3 Second places and 1 Third and got Most Promising Started Aussie all 6 trials. We managed to get our second score of 97 on ducks, thanks to Tanner’s great handling of a set with 2 lame ducks in it and even managed two 91’s on cattle (plus 3 sheeps in the 90s). Duck owner Dawna Simms said she was very impressed at our fetching of the ducks as "those aren't fetchy ducks" and said that most of all she liked her "sweet heel hit." Dana MacKenzie told me that Tanner reminded her of the old Windsong dogs in both conformation and working style.
RTDs - ASCA's Ranch Trial Dog. Stock were set out at the far end of an 11-acre pasture which had trees, sheds, a pond and narrow ledges the stock had to traverse. As I had never before sent Tanner on such a large outrun, let alone a blind one as this one was. I took a 5 point hit and walked away from the gate to the point the ledge ended and the terrain leveled out (relatively speaking). I sent Tanner and waited nervously, not able to see either her or the stock. Most happily, she found them and brought them to me. We then traversed a large pen and took the sheep into the back pens. The pen work involved sorting 5 marked sheep from 10 total and moving various sets amongst the pens and through chutes. Many of the other contestants had troubles sorting, some a great deal. However, our sort work was calm and flawless. Indeed, the only points we lost on the whole course was for me sending Tanner on her outrun from a closer spot. I thought we were going to be first place, but ended up a close second behind a dog who did a great outrun from the gate. Not bad for a full 10 dog trial that included Finals dogs and professional ranch dogs.

Videos
Immediately after goats have been given first access of the morning to hay, Tanner is asked to move the hungry goats away from the feeder.
I let the goats watch me put hay in their feeder which is reached through the corner gate. This makes a strong draw to the gate by the hungry goats. Dog's job is to move goats away from gate and hold them off. We've been playing this game for only 2 days now and already Tanner understands it and is doing a great job of training the goats to stay away from the gate.
In this video,Tanner gets the Oregon Mini geese out of their home pen and then drives them around the yard. All with very minimal commands
Working various exercises on 70 head of sheep on a very windy day in the high desert of Antelope Valley. Begins with fetching; whenever I stop, dog pulls up on the pressure and holds them to me. Then, we practice driving, first doing a parallel drive of sorts with handler as the center pivot point followed by setting up a drive away. Then we fetch through the agility obstacles. Finally, we drive them down a chute. Handler gives no commands during the fetching, only during the driving.
This is Tanner earning her first leg of her American Herding Breed Association's Herding Trial Dog I Sheep title. In HTDI-s, the handler may go to within 15 feet of the sheep on the set up for the outrun, need not hold the rope on the pen, and may move around the whole course, but may not go through the obstacles without major penalty.
Here is Tanner competing on the French course with thirty some sheep. This is her Ranch Large Flock level 1 (RLFI-s) run and this is the run that finished her Ranch Large Flock level 2 (RFLII-s) title with a score of 95.5 out of 100. Be sure to read the full descriptions underneath the videos.
This is Tanner on her first ASCA Started Duck run (STDd). She hasn't yet figured out that she needs to put them through the panels, but in her later runs at WACON's 6 trial /3 day event she understood the panels and put the ducks through them herself. Notice how she turns her head toward then away from the ducks and then back towards them, as she constantly adjusts the amount of pressure on them. Excellent rating of the ducks!!
Dog breaking new goats. For 10 of these 13 Nigerian Dwarf Goats, this is the first day that they have ever been worked by a dog. FETCHING & HOLDING: Note how gently Tanner works on making them follow the handler, Dot DeLisle. Dot is working to train the goats to respect her space, to not crowd or go past Dot. Later on, Tanner also works on making sure the goats stay near the stopped handler, in a loose hold to Dot. TAKE PEN: Unfortunately, I did not have the camera operating to get the first time put into the pen. Therefore this video begins with the first time being taken out out the pen, followed by the second time into the pen and over and over until the dog has them pretty well trained to go in. There is a strong draw to the corner gate (visible only after I move the camera's aim) which leads to their home pen. The goats are very nervous with the dog in the tight quarters of the pen with them. Some respond by leaping, others by standing down Tanner, who handles this by a push into the goats followed by pulling back and giving the goat a chance to turn and exit the pen. Putting the goats into the pen is all about the dog training them to do so. Any goat that acts recalcitrant, gets a correction from the dog. Though the correction may result in the goat going away from the pen rather than into it in the short term. In the long term, it results in the goat learning to obey the orders of the dog. Tanner does a real nice job of bringing the singles back.
ASC of AZ Course D STDs. (ASCA Started Trial Dog Sheep). This was a "walk in the park" run, calm and smooth even though the sheep were fairly light.
ASC of AZ Course D STDc (ASCA Started Trial Dog cattle). Unfortunately, camera ran out of battery during the run. First big mistake at first panel, I told her stay and she just momentary paused, walked up and pushed cattle onto fence when they needed to stay in middle of arena. (I should have made sure she held that stay.) Not only does she refuse to get into position to take them off fence ( I didn’t even need her to get through, just to be on the fence and they might have peeled off), but she keeps flipping around to keep them pushed onto fence. AUGHHH! Yet, this video shows some real nice work getting the cows to move. Calm, stylish heeling followed by release of pressure. (Second big mistake was letting her heel at the 3rd obstacle rather than sending her out and around to set up turn for the 4th obstacle.)
ASC of AZ Course B STDc (ASCA Started Trial Dog cattle). This run scored 91.
I'd used Tanner a lot to move the turkeys from the day pens into the night pens in the evening. This video shows the first time I let her do an extended work of turkeys. It is Thanksgiving 2013. The birds are all Bourbon red heritage turkeys, all but 1 of which are just a few months old.
This is a few months later, Tanner working turkeys in a larger area.
The first video represents Tanner's first work of the day on these cattle. Unfortunately, the person videoing accidentally stopped it less than 2 minutes into the first work in which she did some really cool stuff. The second video is the second work after a 15-30 minute break. She did not come back with the same luster, perhaps worn down a bit from the loose footing of the arena. work 1 work2
At the beginning of this video, I catch a goat and bring her into the back pen to milk her. The rest of this video is a mostly boring demonstration of how Tanner can be left alone with the herd. Though it does show her kick in to work mode when I need her to get the goats off the gate so I can pass through it. The goats badly want to go through the gate, so Tanner does some little grips to convince them that that's not going to happen.
In this video Tanner (called Sheila) is being worked off horseback by her breeder. They are slowly moving along a herd of cow/calf pairs. Sheila really shows off her heeling skills. Alas, it was taken with the camera phone held vertical instead of horizontal, so the view is rather narrow.
