Turkey Run Detroit vs Everybody
Kosmo is our Australian Shepherd stud 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. 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 had the grit to drive the cows (back when we had them) through tall grasses where the other dogs fall away and even scent trails them if he can't see them through the grasses. Kosmo has a very sharp mind and is quick to learn, he is one of my absolute favorite dogs to compete with in disc and barn hunt even though he doesn't get to go as often because he takes twice the space of the minis. Kosmo is the dog that you train to do something Once, he is not going to forget it - that being said, he is smart and he learns quickly and so do his kids. He is truly a working line dog, and there is no better dog in the world if you like a dog with a bright mind and a genuinely loyal heart. Kosmo sees you and reads you, he will keep you honest because he isn't here to be a silly-goose but he will be an unforgettable right hand and gives you everything in return. I truly don't think any other dog that I own will be as great as Kosmo is - in my heart, he is one in a million and everything I wished for.

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. Click here to follow Kosmo's Up Dog Points |
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!
