A Pioneer From the Past!

Ken Claussen (left) was Mini Acres Aussies.  If you had a Mini Acre dog in your pedigrees, you can bet it worked cattle.  Ken was an early ASCA Stock Dog judge and on the early Stock Dog Committee in the seventies.  He was involved with registered Angus cattle and had no use for a dog who could not work them.  Ken has been gone since the nineties when he lost his battle with cancer, but the contribution he made to the breed remains.  I don't know who the other guy is but understand this was at a trial in Mississippi where this guy showed up and beat everyone.

These 18 people and 17 dogs came from Nebraska to Louisiana just to work cattle!  It was not only a Futurity, but the only "Cattle Only" ASCA Sanctioned trial to ever fill the 40 dog limit with Aussies Only!
