At four years of age Tess adopted Jerry and Easy as her next family; her first family had to move abroad for a great career opportunity. She was needed to help Easy and Jerry with all the classes and the Flock whose size had tripled. So, at the age of four, Tess gave up the simple life to take up sheep herding.

She was ABC and AKC registered. Tess competed at herding trials for recreation and has competed and done well at the Open level at the Master's Cup, America's Cup and the Slaven's Zamore Hills ISDS herding trials.

Tess on  4/21/95 at the Silver Bullet Trial with Chris Timmons judging earned  the highest score of 114 wining the first  ASCA  PATD-s Course  and the Silver Buckle, Silver Bullet jacket and prize money at Galt, Ca.

She completed her Working Trial Championship (ASCA) and her Herding Championship (AKC) and died a point away from finishing her Herding Trial Championship (AHBA).

To help you see what the dog sees while herding, I have provided this video clip Dogs Perspective.
