VALLEY WIND'S RUSTIC IMAGE, UD
1969-1979
By Vidale Valley Squire, UD ex Sequoia's Night Wind, UD

bred and owned by Sue Larson
Howdy was used as a model for this
billboard.
A wonderful obedience dog, Howdy
won a High In Trial at a large all-breed
trial, scoring 199 1/2 for his second leg
in Utility.   If OTCH's had been made
retroactive, Howdy would have earned
one easily.
Some dogs are very special, and Howdy was one of those
to me.  He and I "clicked" from practically the moment he
was born and I still remember fondly the many times he'd
come and sit beside me and put his foot up on my knee or
push his nose in under my arm.
Typical of collies, Howdy loved children.
 Here he is playing with 2 year old
Shannon Bowers.
