Click to enlarge!Ch. Windmills Need For Speed DNA-VP(Zoom), 5/17-18/08 Delta Stock dog trial. Saturday Zoom qualified in open sheep with a score of 107. All of his other runs were feo and for the most part he had scores over 100. In temperatures above 100 degrees he gave all he had and just kept working. This was also his first time back on cattle since being hurt. His first run he did not want any contact with the cows. By the 4th run he was starting to gain his confidence back, turning heads on his own and thinking about going in for a bite. It will take some time but I think Zoom will come back 100% on cattle.
