Justy,

Some of the countries best herding trial dogs were there, including
Alasdair MacRae's Star...the Nat'l Finals CH. Justy was 2nd only to
Scott Glen's Maid. What an incredible dog Justy is. He doesn't have his
own sheep, he's trained once a month, if lucky and trials only a couple
times a year, but manages to go out there compete with, and win over the
big guys all the time. Lyle Ladd has done a great job of training and
trialing Justy, while he remains Linda's heart and soul. Linda is a law
enforcement officer in OH and Justy is now being trained, and soon to be
certified to do Search and Rescue. Multi talented and most special dog!
Congratulations to Linda, Lyle and most of all Justy.
