Description
Star is a 9-year-old, black & white, female, born and raised in Wyoming. Star easily transitioned from being a ranch dog to becoming a city dog when Marianna purchased her from Joni Tietjen in 2019. She enjoys both roles equally. Star has an easy-going personality off sheep, but changes into a pushy, take-charge type of dog when she works sheep. Star’s natural talent makes working her on sheep a pleasure. She was 3rd place in the 2023 Bluegrass Classic and 3rd in the 2023 USBCHA National Championships, earning her a spot on the 2023 US World Trial team, which won the Bronze Medal Team Award.
Marianna was introduced to Border Collies in 1999 by her mother, Nancy Schreeder. Marianna recalls saying to her friends that she would never trial her dogs and that she just wanted to work them on the farm. Fate had other plans. After starting her first border collie, Marianna was “hooked.” She had the benefit of working with one of her mother’s retired dogs and learned a lot by working with that dog. Marianna lives and trains her border collies just outside of Atlanta. I am the President of the Kentucky Border Collie Association which puts on the prestigious “Bluegrass Classic” in Lexington Kentucky.
