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.

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 yet (I have seen him run much faster than he does) and much prefers the intricacies of the jumps and obstacles in Frizgility and Funkey.

Barn Hunt
Kosmo has his first two legs of his Novice title - 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!
Obedience & Rally
Kosmo and I are taking lessons with Tri-Canine Campus to progress towards being competition ready. I have a lot to learn as a handler before I feel confident entering the ring, but I hope to be ready in 2021.
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 2021.
Health Testing
Kosmo is AKC & ASCA registered
