If you are so inclined, my friend and Rowdy's breeder, Rose Anderson, has qualified for the ISDS World Stockdog Championship Trial 2026 as part of Team USA with her dog Hutch and she needs a little help to get to Scotland. Her daughter, Lisa, has started this fundraiser on her behalf to help make this crazy dream come true. Here is the blurb Lisa wrote:
"From the frozen tundra of the little, rural town of Chassell, in the near-northernmost reaches of Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Lisa and I am the proud daughter of Rose Anderson, who after 50 years in the dog business in varying capacities of boarding, grooming, training, and in the last 25 years, breeding quality working Border Collies which she has been highly successful in some of the most prestigious trials on the North American stock dog herding circuits to include USBCHA National Finals, Soldier Hollow SDT, The Meeker Classic, and The Bluegrass, and is an active member of the Wisconsin Working Stockdog Association. In 2025, she rightfully earned a spot (1 of 11) to represent the USA for the ISDS Stock Dog World Trial from 16-20 September 2026 in Scotland, UK.
Over the years, her successes have finally cumulated to the point where she is regarded as a top stock dog handler, breeder, and trainer of her working Border Collies. A dream she never thought would take her so far has finally come to fruition, but at a significant cost which may hinder her ability to attend an international competition abroad. Even though the competition is relatively short span, she is needing to arrive a couple weeks prior to acclimate herself and her longtime canine teammate, Hutch.
Team funding for travel and accommodation expenses is very limited and each team member is ultimately responsible for their own expenses, including their dog’s travel and accommodations and entry fees to this prestigious event.
With significant encouragement from numerous folks who expressed interest in assisting with donations toward her and Hutch’s international travel, competition, and accommodation expenses, I decided it was time to create this account as means to assist in fulfilling this dream and opportunity of a lifetime!!
Thank you for your consideration!!

On behalf of Rose Anderson and Hutch"
