It's incredible to witness the story of all the Blue Isle dogs showing their absolute best the entire weekend. From the veteran dogs to the young pups making their debuts it's a wonderful thing to see the handler / Aussie teamwork. When you see a Blue Isle dog in the agility ring, you see a dog that can come from the show ring and then run in the agility ring, then go play with the sheep!

More videos of Piper are linked from her page with many more to come. Let's not forget the unforgettable runs from Stella and Mike Ritter and his boy Cowboy!
