Shannahan / Helsley Clinic 2008

The Shannahan/Helsley Sheep Camp clinic was an amazing experience! I saw some great dogs, and learned a ton!

First off, I would like to thank the crew. Thank you, Ladies!

It was a bit chilly, so we fired up the burn barrel ...

L to R: Dianne Deal, Loreli Judd, Diane Spainhower, Jamie Spring, Coleen Hawker and Leslie Capik. (In the background with the red hat might be the master of the burn barrel, Rueben Cardenas.

Here's LJ, who probably stayed the warmest of us all ...

Despite the chilly weather, everyone was enjoying themselves. Here's Jamie Spring...

And Sue Wessels ...

And Leslie Capik, Dianne Deal, and the amazing dog, Annie.

Loreli Judd's Tuff ...

Here's Leslie Capik working with Patrick and Annie...

I think this might be Jo Ferguson and her Jill x Riggs pup, Teak. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know so I can edit this.

And here's Teak. Isn't she a cutie?

Leslie's Annie:


Here's Sue Wessel's working with Patrick and one of her young dogs.

And this gorgeous boy by Helsley's Cap and also belongs to Sue. I'm sorry, Sue, I don't remember his name.

Judy Norris brought a few very cute puppies with her! I was very close to stealing this one.


And what, pray tell, is Coleen Hawker's adorable Kelpie girl looking at?


THIS! Wondering why Patrick has a bicycle hanging in his tree.


The rooster claimed ignorance.


Even the hen wouldn't talk.


Oh well. Working sheep is way more fun anyway.






Jo Ferguson's Jill.


And, of course, Ms. Echo Monster ...
