Kathy Knox Clinic

Kathy Knox Clinic
Sponsored by
Mid States Stock Dog Assoc.
 
The MSSDA held a FREE one day Kathy Knox clinic for their membership in May. All members were welcome to audit the clinic, but only 10 handlers/dogs were drawn from a hat to get to work with Kathy one-on-one, and Ruth was one of the lucky ten.
 
Kathy is very knowledgeable and does a very good job of communicating to the handlers, so there is no doubt in what she is trying to get across to you.
 
Ruth looks forward in getting to work with Kathy more in the future, and...
 thank you MSSDA!

Sundowner Cattle Dog Trial---May

Sundowner Cattle Dog Trial
5/17-18/08
Calera, OK --- Crossfire Arena
 
This May trial was big!
Once again the Sundowner group put on a excellent P/T Cattle trial. In my opinion the Crossfire Arena may be the best area they have used to date.
 
This was their biggest May trial that I can remember. I was happy with the way the dogs worked, although it was just a 4th & 5th place weekend, seem like we just could never quit get over the hump.
 
Cap, work well in the Open class on Sunday by posting another perfect score, but once again he was not fast enough, so Ruth is going to have to learn to walk faster.
 
Kelli, made a very strong showing in her first trial after having pups by True. She placed 4th both days in an Open field that was very tough and a large class of Open dogs.
 
Jackson, had his problems the first day in the Ranch class, so we just brought him back and schooled on him after the trial on Sunday. I saw many things that I liked that just need polishing. Keep in mine, he started from grown zero less than a year ago, so I think it's just time before he fines the winners circle.
  
   
Beth, a 17 month old pup by True x Susie that I just bought back from Glenn Christensen was 5th in her very first Novice class. There was pups in the class that ran high up in the SD April Futurity and Taz (the Cap pup that has been doing so well was 4th) so it was a tough class. Jim Hicks is working with Beth and will be handling her in her 2008 trials. Elvin Kopp would be very happy and proud of Jim's work with her, as are Tom & Ruth Hines.
 
Jim's Fred was 4th in the Ranch class on Sunday. As Jim improves so does Fred.
Jim's, Tessie (the Bullet dog) was 6th in the Saturday Novice class. Tessie is a very nice little dog, with skills to beat most, if Jim can her under a 100 mph.

 
   

Glenn Christensen did win a 2nd with his Spec pup in the Beginners class. Spec is a grandson to my Jack dog. His Sam pup had a very impressive outing, he and Beth are litter mates.

Sundowner Cattle Trial---March 08

 
Sundowner Cattle Dog Trial
3/8-9/08
Calera, OK --- Crossfire Arena

This month they had all new fresh cattle, and when I say fresh, they had never seen a dog before or ever been inside an enclosed arena before. We had a few go over the walls, one to run through a solid gate, and one to get loose with the spectators. No dogs were hurt, or no contestants were run over-----anyway none that I'm aware of.  

Cap: (Open) ran out of time on the last 15 point obstacle on Saturday, but on Sunday he tied for 1st place on points, but his time was not fast enough to place.
This is Ruth's first full year to run in the Open Class, and she is doing a very good job!

 
  

Taz: (Novice) a son of Cap faired much beetter, by scoring 1st place on Saturday, and coming back on Sunday with a 3rd place finish.
   
Owner --- Lynn & Shirley Daniel
Handler --- Lynn Daniel
Susie: (Ranch) had a very solid weekend by winning 1st place on Saturday, and coming back with a strong 4th place finish.
   
Izzy: (Novice) daughter of Cap, her first outing had the cards stacked agaist her. First time to work in a enclsed area with solid walls, and working very fresh cattle, well it just blew her little mine, but she well get much better.
   

Our good friends, Jim & Pam Hicks dogs had a good solid outing. This is the start of Jim's second full year of having BC's and he is doing a very good job of handling his dogs!
Fred: (Ranch) was 2nd on Satuday, and 5th on Sunday.
   

Tessie: (Novice) had a bit of a hearing problem on Saturday, but came back on Sunday with a strong 2nd place finish.

Sundowner Cattle Trial---Feb. 08

SUNDOWNER CATTLE TRIAL
02/09-10/2008
Cross Fire Arena
Calera, OK
 
Last weekend was our first outing for 2008 and I felt like it was a good solid showing. I think this may have been the toughest trial, because the cattle were so even, one little bobble would knock you out of the top three. All of our dogs had perfect scores on both days, but times were not quite good enough. Susie did place 2nd (Ranch) on Saturday, and had a very good chance to win on Sunday, but they blew-up at the last minute, the same thing happen to Cap (Open) on Saturday. Cap's son Taz did place 2nd both days in the Novice class, while looking very sharp. Our friends, Jim & Pam Hicks' dogs had a solid outing also. Their Fred dog was 3rd (Ranch) on Saturday.

Here are four of our young females that you will not see on the site yet.  All the girls are doing very well and they will all be ready to start this Fall.

There is some interest that I go ahead and cross Alba Nan with Jackson when she comes into season, so if enough interest is shown in that mating, then we will make it this fall, if not then we will start her trialing career.

THE JACK KING CATTLE DOG FUTURITY

THE JACK KING CATTLE DOG FUTURITY
Tulsa State Fair  2007

1. J-H FARMS         HILL'S SPUD---from Missouri
2. LYNN DANIEL     TAZ---sired by my Cap stud
3.BART WORKMAN  BUCK---Brent Daniel, handler

Taz, is owned by Lynn & Shirley Daniel of Atoka, OK.
and trained by Lynn.
There are two go-rounds to the Futurity, after the first "go" Taz was setting in first place. Their second "go" was going right on target to win first place, until they got to the last of the obstacles (loading in a stocktrailer), and the calves decided they weren't going in that dark hole.
So Lynn & Taz dropped into second place, but Lynn promised, that we would see much more of Taz.

We at Oaktree are very proud of both of them! Taz is the first son of our Hatsoff Cap stud to start in a cattle trial.


Our good friends Jim & Pam Hicks from Skiatook, Ok.
Their nice young female, "Tessie" was 6th place overall.

Jim Hicks and Jack King & "Tessie


Mack, is a maternal half brother to my
Tate's True stud dog.

2008 Elvin Kopp” Spring Herding Clinic

Elvin Kopp” Spring Herding Clinic
April 11, 12 & 13 2008
Co-Hosted by
Jim & Pam Hicks and Tom & Ruth Hines

Well, our 2008 Elvin Kopp Spring Clinic is over, and it was as big of a success as our 2007 EK Fall Clinic was.
 
I have been sitting here for the past few days trying to think how I could express in a new way of how much knowledge Elvin brings to the table and what a good job he does in communicating his ideas to young and old. We had participants this time from the "wise" to 12 years old. I have had gotten numerous letters from folks telling me how informative it was, so I have decided to share a couple with you.
THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT HELPED TO MAKE THE CLINIC A SUCCESS AGAIN!!!
Jim & Pam Hicks and Tom & Ruth Hines

  • "Seminar planned well
  • Facilities super
  • Food (5 star)
  • Presenter (Elvin) organized, presented information in a logical sequence, answered questions to the best of his ability, asked questions were at times referred to his presentation (not always answered in the same day) but answered, helped you when you needed help but did not dominate your learning time, thoughtful with explanations, and at times funny but serious. 
  • The best part with Elvin is that he did not hinder what you may have already know, but allowed you to think about other options that may help your individual training program.  How do you make yourself get to the next level.    Glenn" 
  •  
    • "Extremely thought provoking ~ Elvin's clinics are challenging but not overwhelming.  Positive training for both dog and handler ~ I left knowing I can strive to next level.
    Excellent food, good laughs, and wonderful working facilities!!  Let's do 'er again!  Sue"

    "It was a very well organized clinic in the setup and in the presentation. Elvin allowed you to make a mistake so that he could show you where you were wrong. He showed you how to fix the problem not just a cover up(band aid fix). Also, you learned how to work you're dog with quiet confidence.  I would highly recommend his clinic to young and old handlers alike. A great thanks and good job to Jim and Pam Hicks and Tom and Ruth Hines.
      Buford"

    (Front L-R) Aubrey, Buford Barrett, Derek Bassett, Sue McDaniel, Tom & Ruth.
    (Back L-R) Elvin Kopp, Janett Covington, Jim Hicks, Trey Bean, Larry Painter, Glen Christensen, Dave & Judy Parker (sorry Judy, she really is back there), Casey Piguet, Larry Beavers, Kyle Dillard, Bryce Peterson and not showen Clayton Thompson.

    Chief cook and bottel washer--who fed us 3 great meals a day, and kept the coffee pot full.
