After a low key 2007, Bison is going back out on the circuit, with a potentially busy 2008. He will be going after his Rally Advanced Excellent title, which will require ten double qualifying runs in Rally Excellent and Rally Advanced. He is also still in pursuit of his Novice Draft Dog title. If he earns the NDD, he will receive the Versatility Award from BMDCA for completing his AKC Championship and Companion Dog title in addition to the NDD.

After that, completing the Junior Herding Dog title will earn him the Working Dog Award.
