Turkey Run Detroit vs Everybody

Kosmo is our Australian Shepherd stud prospect and we could not be happier with this boy! He is a minimal white black tri from Turkey Run Australian Shepherds. His GrandSires are Certik-Bertik and Rising Sun Misko at Turkey Run. Kosmo is doing very well in his beginner obedience class and is very quick to learn and he has begun training for herding and we look forward to trialing with him in ASCA.  Kosmo is our dog that every puppy loves to play with because he is such a goofball. He is an affectionate dog with little understanding of his size and how it does not make him a lap dog, he has a huge heart on him and will go all day long without quitting. Kosmo is our go-to dog for herding our livestock on the farm, he has the grit to drive the cattle through tall grasses where the other dogs fall away and even scent trails the cattle if he can't see them through the grasses.

Certik-Bertik (HOF SPCH WTCH ATCH-II OTCH Certik-Bertik RTDcs UDX AKC/ASCA-TD REX RM RS-E-SP JS-E-SP GS-E-SP MAD MJ MG AR AS EJC ERC EGC DNA-CP) is a ASCA Hall of Fame Sire with his Supreme Performance Champion; he also won ASCA Most Versatile Aussie in 2006, 2007, 2008, & 2009. 
Rising Sun Misko at Turkey Run (WTCH OTCH ATCH SPCH Rising Sun Misko@Turkey Run ODX UD RNX REX RMX JS-E GS-E-OP RS-E SJ SG SSA SS SR AKC-VCD2 HXAs TD UD RA OA NF OAJ) is a Certik-Bertik son, he won ASCA Most Versatile Aussie in 2011 and also has his Supreme Performance Championship.

Disc Dog

Kosmo at Motorcity Disc Dogs Up Dog Challenge - Throw and Go
Kosmo loves to play disc and in his first year of competing has qualified for UPDIF 2020, earned multiple Bronze UP & Silver UPs and one Gold UP.

Kosmo's strengths are the Agility crossover games - he does well at Throw & Go and similar games but is not the fastest about running back, and much prefers the intricacies of the jumps and obstacles in Frizgility and Funkey.

Barn Hunt - BN

Kosmo has his Barn Hunt Novice - he is a fast & confident hunter, he paws at the tubes and barks for a rat. He tunnels on command everytime, and climbs up on the bale effortlessly. He is a lot of fun to compete with. He won 1st place and High in Class at his first trial too!

Herding

Kosmo took herding lessons as puppy and was doing well. He enjoys helping us with our livestock on the farm here as well, he did well with our heifers and our goats. We would like to resume lessons and trial in herding, but realistically that is a goal for 2023; for 2022 we are focusing on Nova & Ambrosia in herding.
