Stock dogs pull double duty
By RUTH COCHRAN
Reporter
Rlost dog owners are close to their
H Rovers. Although they don’t do
■ch, they are good companions
■ even mind at times.
■took dog owners are close to
■r dogs also but expect them to
n with ranch work and then be
ny with a friendly lick after a long
jay’s work.
It was evident just how close stock
jogs and their owners are at the
took dog trials held Saturday and
[gidayat the Louis Pearce Pavilion.
he dogs competed in various
Jses designed to show off their
ils at herding livestock such as
S _ks, sheep and cattle.
■ony Ronne of Palestine brought
Ke dogs to the trial. He said he
Id stock dogs because of their
Irt and nature.
■They’re people type dogs,”
line said. “They’re bred for every-
j I work.”
lohne said it takes about three
jars to train a dog to work livestock
i. y |. JjD but that it’s worth the time.

“it’s satisfaction. It’s like watch-

dol said, “and they’re extremely
sharp. I think my older dog’s biggest
kick in life is to just try and outsmart
me, which is pretty often.”
Joel Finch of Richmond trains
dogs professionally in obedience and
as guard dogs. He trains only his
own dogs to work livestock and he
brought a few to the trials.
“I train dogs all day long for other
people and I don’t have much time
for my own,” Finch said. “I try to
spend time with all of them — qual
ity time like with a child.”
Finch pointed to the dog at his
feet and said, “We’re pretty close.
He’s my shadow. But I’ve got an old
dog at home that’s about nine-years-
old. He’s my best friend ”
Rohne said the dogs enjoy what
they do. He said the dogs like work
ing livestock and they want to please
their owners.
He motioned at a dog working
sheep in the arena.
“Look at the sparkle in her eye,”
Rohne said. “She’s looking at him
(the owner) wanting to please him.”
Rohne said the dogs are just like
people.

“They’re just like anyone else
working for you,” Rohne said.
“They’re just like humans — they
have their flaws. They have their
good days and their bad days. Too
many people come to these trials and
expect their dogs to run like machi
nes.”
Despite the importance of the
work the dogs do, most owners feel
their dogs are at their best when
they’re companions.
“They’rejust good buddies to ride
up and down the road with,” Rohne
said. “They’rejust a good friend.”
attox says report is political attack
tic
Associated Press
DALLAS — State Attorney Gen-
Jim Mattox Sunday labeled a
spaper report that he received
,000 from the proceeds of a
as-area land deal which is one of
Idreds under a federal grand
ry s scrutiny as “distorted” and “a
Itical attack.”
tn a story Sunday, the Dallas
ni Ifning News said the money was
Ivered to Mattox a month after he
$ elected attorney general at a
■2 fundraiser at the direction of
D.L. “Danny” Faulkner.
Faulkner is a condominium devel
oper whose projects are under inves
tigation, and a longtime friend and
business associate of Mattox.
According to real estate records,
the money was paid from the sale of
21.5 acres of undeveloped land.
Witnesses to the transaction say
Mattox accepted the money al
though he had no investment inter
est in the property or any partici
pation in the sale, the News
reported.
Mattox, responding in a prepared
statement Sunday to the Morning
News story, called it “negative” and
“distorted.”
Mattox said he and Faulkner have
been partners in several real estate
deals.
Mattox’s statement described the
payment as a commission for putting
together a seller and buyer for 21
acres of condominium land. The
deal was handled by Faulkner, the
statement said.
Court documents, including
Faulkner’s deposition, show the
money was delivered to Mattox as
two cashiers checks for $100,000
.each, one of them payable to Mat
tox’s sister and the other payable to
his brother.
Mattox said he was uncertain why
his sister’s name appeared on one of
the checks. He said the money actu
ally was intended for Mattox Prop
erties. He said he assumes that his
sister may have acted as a trustee in
his behalf.
