Roger Stevens Clinic – May 17-20 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday)
Farming and cattle have been a part of Roger's life since he was born. He and his father were partners until 1969, when Pincie Creek Farms was established. With a row crop and peanut farm, registered Polled Hereford brood stock and show cattle, plus 500 head of commercial mama cows and calves to look after, Roger badly needed some help. In 1972 he acquired his very first Aussie, Syd. Syd was followed a couple of years later by his two brothers, McKay and Mischief. These were the beginning of Pincie Creek Aussies and descendants of their bloodline are still found in the kennel. Following a very serious car accident in 1986, Roger was forced to give up all farming operations for about two years while he recuperated. During this time he lost his buddy Syd to old age, and thus began the search for working Australian Shepherds. Through diligent search, trial and error, and a stringent breeding program, Roger and his wife, Kathy, have what they feel are some of the best working dogs in the country. They emphasize the ability to work cattle, because that is what is in demand most in their part of the country. However, most of the dogs also work small stock.
In 1992 Roger acquired a little blue pup from Gary Ericsson named Hangin' Tree Blue Bear. He was a wonderful chore dog and companion, the smartest dog they'd ever owned, and just for fun Roger entered him in the ASCA stockdog trial in Gainesville, Ga. in October of 1992. Much to Roger's surprise, they earned a qualifying score and Roger was hooked. Since that time he has competed regularly in ASCA events and one or more of their dogs have qualified for the National Stockdog Finals every year since Bear became eligible in 1994. In 1999, Roger became an AHBA and ASCA stockdog judge. Roger and Kathy visited Tee Creek for the first time in May, 2012, and the 3-day clinic was an unqualified success. Here are some comments from the participants:
“What a terrific experience with clinician Rogers Stevens at Tee Creek, his calm soothing demeanor and ability to individualize the needs for each dog and handler combined with the greatest learning environment, unbeatable” – Deanna Mitchell
“Roger Stevens is a keen observer and knew just when and how much to push us. The "mobile fence" technique allowed the dogs and handlers to get it right the first time through so subsequent attempts were very successful! Thanks SO much to Kathy and Dave for hosting the clinic and for providing a strong foundation on which to build!” – Sally Erbe
