When I became serious about training for and trialing in stock dog trials, both my close friend and my mentor suggested that I purchase a fully trained dog. This is how both of them had learned and found that it was one of the best ways to learn what you should expect from your dog. On this advice, I began my search.
Beck is everything I was looking for. An incredibly handsome dog with an amazing temperament at home and a serious working dog with power and eye on the field. He has taught me so much and has become my trial partner. Beck will work any type of stock - sheep, cattle, goats, ducks, chickens, and even guinea fowl; although, he does show a preference for cattle and goats. I purchased him from Richard Brandon, who had trained and trialed him, in June of 2012.

Beck is a 3 time qualifier for USBCHA Cattledog Nationals and qualified for USBCHA Sheepdog Nationals (Nursery). He is sired by Craig Roger's Luke, a National Finalist at 2008 and 2009 National Cattledog Finals, out of Dwight Parker's Trixie (now owned by Mark Ireland). He is a full brother to Dwight Parker's Craig, the 2013 and 2015 National Cattledog Finals Champion, and litter mate to Dwight Parker's Lucy, a top ten Finalist at the 2010 and 2011 National Cattledog Nursery Finals and 2012 Double Lift Finals.
As of Summer 2018, Beck is officially retired from trials. He still does farm chores, helps with set out, and may compete in AHBA trials to finish up his Championship, but his time on the USBCHA big fields is over. He will, of course, live out his retirement here at SKYFALL. He was a blessing to have as our first trial dog and he will continue on as the top dog.
