Parkeyre Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 What does it consist of? I'd love to try my Australian Shepherd bitch on herding, would this give her the Herding Instincts Test if she passes? Excuse my ignorance, just not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to try my Australian Shepherd bitch on herding, would this give her the Herding Instincts Test if she passes?Excuse my ignorance, just not sure. The Saturday is just a training clinic. Then on the Monday there are instinct certificates and all other test and trial classes on sheep. So if you entered the instinct certificate on the Monday and she passed it then yes she would have her Instinct Cert. To enter an instinct certificate they need to have had prior exposure and training on the lievstock being tested on so participation in the clinic would meet that requirement. In the test they need to show a wait and call to you on a long line and then need to show sustained interest in the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Is it ducks and sheep both days or ducks and and hep the other? Saturday is a training day on sheep. Sunday 2 x A course duck trials. Monday 2 x A course sheep trials. We have limited stock so entries limited to 30 each day and a ballot could come into effect. Last year we would get around 35 runs a day.

piper Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 At least you have stock Well we have access to stock - all gets transported in. Although this time we are going to where the sheep are rather than transporting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
