alund Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 This run tied for first at the 2016 North of Ireland Sheepdog Society Nursery Finals. The tie was broken by OLF and James and Maid got second place. She was only 15 months old for this run and did amazingly well. I really enjoy watching her work and James is an excellent trainer/handler. This dog is now owned by a handler in South Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoresDog Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I am so impressed with James McGee and the success he's had with his wonderful dogs in recent years. Becca, Silver, just wow! Wish he'd come over and give some clinics here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alund Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 He will be here in October in Tennessee. Might be quite a drive for you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoresDog Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Lucky you! I would drive pretty far, but Tennessee is a few states too far for me. I really enjoy clinics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbear Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 There are daily flights to Nashville on Alaska Air. He'll be only a couple hours outside of Nashville - easy peasy! Signed, The Enabler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz P Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I went to one of his clinics last year. I think it was his first time in the States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald McCaig Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Fellow sheepdoggers, Very nice work though she's young to be this good. I liked how she made a flock - she could have had trouble with that stroppy ewe all around the the course What breed of sheep? I hope the Tennessee clinic is announced here.

alund Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I believe the sheep were Mayo Blackface. I would be happy to share the contact information for the clinic host with anyone interested in attending, just send me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geonni banner Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Very nice! Thanks for posting. I liked that the sheep hardly did any running, even though the dog seemed to work close. (Or at least it seemed so to me.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petes Mom Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Just watched this. What an amazing run! I had to watch that shed several times over! They made it look so easy! James McGee is such an impressive trainer/handler. I remember watching a video of him & Becca in a big trial in the UK years ago, and just being blown away by how she worked with him.
