FUN DAYS

The Novice and Pro-Novice fun days are designed to help folks gain basic sheep- and dog-handling skills. Various work areas will be set up, and more experienced handlers will assist novices. If your dogs participate, the cost will be $10 for members and $25 for nonmembers (nonmembers can join the club on the spot). There is no charge for spectators.

PLACES TO WORK YOUR DOGS ON SHEEP

Work Your Dog at Runaground Ranch

Bob & Irene Stoller
5910 Galatia Road
Longmont, CO 80503

Bob and Irene are available most Saturdays and Sundays and on other days by arrangement.

We have 2 paddocks set up, one with drive and cross gates and a pen, and the other can be set up with an "A" course for AKC herding. Please note: We know next to nothing about AKC herding but we've had a request for it so I can set it up. The hay field is also available for dogs that like to work in bigger spaces. Our stock consists of 30 yearlings, their mothers who have not been worked much, and dog-broke sheep. We are halfway between Boulder and Longmont. Call 303-651-2039 for availability or email at: robert.stoller@colorado.edu
