jdarling Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Yes, he did, Jan. Awesome run! Scott's got his work cut out for him. Mr. "Sannahan" didn't leave much room for error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoresDog Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Woo hoo! Yay Patrick and Riggs! Yay Tommy and Sly!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 We have a new national sheepdog champion team in Pat Shannahan and Riggs, with Tommy Wilson and Sly in reserve and Alasdair MacRae and Nap third. I'm guessing Wendy Schmaltz' 4th place run, combined with her good showing at the cattle finals means she get the combined sheep/cattle award? Congratulations to all of them, and a huge THANK YOU to Heather for all the tweeting and to everyone who made the webcast possible. Awesome! J.

MrSnappy Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 It was marvelous. I am so glad I got to watch it (and got nothing else done all day either). Lovely job by Patrick and Riggs! RDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdarling Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I love the porta-potty behind Patrick during this interview. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ooky Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 So sad I missed so much of it - can't sit at the computer like I used to, sadly. But ZOMG how awesome! I hope this becomes a new tradition each year. And I will be looking for it on-demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsADogsLyfe Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 was sure great getting to watch the finals from the comfort of my home. Great runs! Congrats to Pat and Riggs! Of course I had to root for Crue's daddy and I'm very sad he gripped at the end, but he still did a great job! I hope the finals next year are broadcast on the web too! This was so great! Thanks to everyone involved in making it so good for us at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsADogsLyfe Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Oh, and yeah Jodi I noticed the nice porta potty behind Pat during the interview. I wonder if all those going in and out know they were being broadcast worldwide..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geonni banner Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Never been to a sheepdog trial, and this is my first one to see on video. I didn't watch yesterday - yesterday was, well, too weird. But I saw the last three runs today, and had to take extra anxiety meds during the shed that ran out of time. Even my dog was excited... Great presentation. And no irritating "gladiatorial" music and hype. The commentator was great. Riggs is a big doggie, eh? Wonderful. Now I have to tank up on xanax and go see one in person!

amc Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Donald, I thought the webcast was paid for by USBCHA and ABCA...3/4 of the cost from USBCHA and 1/4 form ABCA. I don't mind thanking Serta, Am Lamb and Black Gold if they were sponsors of the Finals in some other way, but I'd like to be sure of what I'm thanking them for.

PennyT Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I wrote all three sponsors, then I wrote to Whole Foods and asked them to carry American lamb, which they don't at least in New Orleans. I'm going to write a few other smallish to small chains as well that have high quality meat departments. Near me that would be Fresh Market (they may, I have to check), Langenstein's, and Rouse's.

Kelliwic Border Collies Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Heather (or anyone who remembers), what was the "target" number of viewers for the webcast? I thought I remembered it being posted somewhere in one of the early threads about the webcast, but I was unable to find it either here or on the other forum. What were the results? Was the target number hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockdogranch Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Just read on FB 2,687. Don't know what the target was, but Heather sounded pleased with that number! A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyd65 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 For any of you that have never seen a sheepdog trial ... this is better than any youtube video you'll find. USBCHA FINALS WEBCAST Spent a few hours over the weekend watching. Unbelievable!!!! The whistle's got the attention of our 2. They were watching the screen with heads turning back and forth....

geonni banner Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Is there any word about whether this broadcast will be made into a DVD? Repeat viewings of those teams working would be a valuable tool for learning/understanding what a talented dog/handler team do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 By popular demand, the web cast is now available for awhile as a Pay Per View. Details can be found here. (You might need to refresh your cache to see them.) Please buzz me with any questions or problems. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcv-border Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Is there any word about whether this broadcast will be made into a DVD? Repeat viewings of those teams working would be a valuable tool for learning/understanding what a talented dog/handler team do. I also hope that the finals can be purchased via a DVD. I tried to watch the finals as much as possible, but with a slow connection (8-10 seconds of video alternating with 8-10 seconds of "loading") I became frustrated and stopped watching. I would love to watch the runs in a complete version. (I am not sure that PPV would be any better for my situation.) Jovi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
