The grandfather of one of my beardies won group twice at Westminster. Spencer was on the show circuit for a while. Spencer made it to 15.5 before we had to say goodbye.

We used to compete in herding trials. One of my ex-wife's beardies won the national herding competition back in 1991. I currently have a beardie boy and my older two kids each have beardies. Two of our beardies were in the Shaggy DA. The breeder of my and my middle child's current beardies had the beardie that got the show credit for that film.

I loved to watch beardies herd. Herding competitions are really fun.
