ATCH with ASCA
ASCA ATCH (Agility Trial Champion) title Delilah and I finished
at the 2009 ASCA Nationals pre-trial competition.
In order to earn the ATCH, one needs to have earned all the elite titles
(standard, gamblers and jumpers). Then after earning those titles, they
need to earn
another 200 points in the standard class, 100 points in gamblers and 100

Each year the
Manzanita Agility Club & The Australian Shepherd Club of
Southern California presents the Paul Kirk Silver Buckle. These
beautiful belt buckles are awarded in honor of an agility icon,
Professor Paul Kirk. Paul, now in his eighties and still
running his lightening fast Aussies, has been an inspiration to
many over the years; a true ambassador to the sport. The annual
Paul Kirk Silver Buckle Series consists for at least eight NADAC
and ASCA trials and concludes with the NADAC trail held in
Pearblossom, CA Memorial Day Weekend. On this weekend a
beautiful silver buckle is awarded to the high series scoring
Novice, Open, Elite, and Veteran team. This year one of our
club members, Karen Birdsong and her Australian Shepherd TJ (Windswept’s
Trail of Joy) won the Novice buckle.
ALSO as
of April 2010 NADAC NEWS
NADAC has posted their 2009 Top 10
Lists. On the Top Ten list of Australian Shepherds
is one of Canine Agility Team's dogs, TJ (owned by
Karen Birdsong). In Hoopers, TJ tied for
7th, in Regular he tied with his cousin Molly for
9th, in both Chances and Weavers he was ranked #8.
