Judges
Wyatt Fleming - MO
Wyatt Fleming has been in Border Collies for 15 years traveling with his Dad (Thad Fleming) to trials. Wyatt has trialed in both sheep and cattle. He has won the Open and Nursery cattle finals, and placed fifth at the sheep finals. Wyatt has successfully made it into multiple double lifts over his career. Now, he spends more of his time judging than competing. Wyatt and his wife, Cyndi, live on a small farm in Missouri raising two girls, Rylee and Natalie, and their 50 Cheviot sheep.
Alison Holmes - TX
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.
