One of the Collies entered was owned by Bonnie Young (Mclaughlin Scollard), who is a current SDTC member. There is an earlier picture (1984) of Bonnie with her collie Shadalon's Sable Serenade.

Bonnie Young, who is a current SDTC member, was again entered in the Novice B class with the same Collie. The shows have been held in a variety of locations but eventually have been held since 1997 at the Club's property. Currently the Club presents two AKC obedience trials per year, two AKC tracking test per year, two AKC agility trials per year and an AKC herding trial on Labor Day weekend.
