STUDEing. The thing Steve values the most is a handler's relationship with their dog and a handler that allows their dog to think on its own and properly work with instinct. He feels that handlers and dogs should both be always learning and fine tuning their skills no matter at what level they are working or competing.
Steve is an AHBA and ASCA stockdog judge. He is still doing clinics as his time allows.

Anne has published articles in both the Aussie Times for ASCA and in the Journal for USASA.

Stephanie has Lupus (systemic), Fibromyalgia, Ehlers Danlos (hypermobility plus platelets), Weggners, severe Gastroparesis, and chronic Asthma, plus Addisons. In addition her bladder is necrotic. Therefore, we have to be very careful with her health. She wears rings on her hands to help keep her joints straighter so if you see her, these are medical but certainly look blingy. Stephanie gets IgG infusions every other week to boost her immune system, and in 2023 TPN infusions were added daily.
On her down days, the dogs really make this world a better place for her. They are her best drug for what ails her.
Stephanie's kennel is Hall of Fame Excellent StarN. You'll find many Aussies named Legends StarN - these are co-breedings by the Shopes with daughter Stephanie and sometimes granddaughter Shelby.
Stephanie is a Senior Breeder Judge for ASCA. Stephanie has not been active judging since her health declined; she almost died early 2013 - Steph utilizes a cane or walker for stability and also has a scooter for her down days.
