I think my first word was “Dog.” I have been an animal lover all of my life. I likely inherited that gene from my father’s side of the family, although my mother is wonderful with the critters. As a city kid, I built extended dog families from Legos. But I have always been country at heart. My husband, Herbert, and I traveled North America for a number of years, competing in USBCHA trials and conducting clinics. I started training dogs for the public and starting young dogs I got Chip in for training . . . a grandson of Battle’s Cap. Chip and I competed for about 3 years, making the top 10 in the National Nursery Finals at Klamath. After Chip moved to Open, one year I ran him at The Big One SDT in Bowman, South Dakota. I also made the top ten in the USBCHA Nursery Finals in later years with my very special Britt. But the dog that I likely learned the most about training with, was a male named Rys. He was a difficult kind of dog to train. We placed third in the first open go round at Carbondale one year, on very stiff sheep. We also won a Stockmanship award at Meeker. We had a wonderful time attending a lot of North American dog trials and more importantly, made lifelong friendships from this sport.

Directions

Pottsville, TX is on FM 218 about 13 miles west of Hamilton, TX (about 70 miles southwest of Ft Worth). As you get into Pottsville watch for CR 618 at the corner of the post office--it turns north. Turn and go straight up CR 618. There will be a sign that says "dead end"--ignore it. Continue up the hill to the closed double gate across the road--our driveway turns right before you hit the double gate. Do NOT turn on CR 619 where it curves off CR 618--stay straight and go up the hill. You can see our house from FM 218--just look up the hill behind the post office...it's a green double wide on top of the hill.

If you are pulling a camper, please watch for an open double gate on the right with a “Camper Parking” sign before you go up the hill—campers will park there.
Pottsville is very small—NO gas, NO food/ice—closest is Hamilton to the east or Zephyr/Goldthwaite to the west.
