TERRA, handled by SHAUNA GOURLEY (Plain City, Utah). Terra is a six-year-old, tricolor, rough coated Border Collie. Terra is kind of at the bottom of the totem pole in Shauna’s pack, but she makes up for it on sheep. Terra is a speedy little dog and, when she misses a command, she tries to fix it just as fast as the original mistake – sometimes it works; sometimes “not so much.” Terra has eight top ten finishes so far this year and is this year’s top Utah dog in the national standings. Terra’s handler, Shauna Gourley, has competed at a national level in dog agility and obedience competition for over thirty years. Like many training enthusiasts, she found a new challenge in the sheepdog trial competition, where she has become one of the country’s top competitors.
