Pat Smith Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 You'd be surprised Kavik, why don't you come along on Saturday afternoon to Erskine Park and give it a go? Sometimes, it can take a few goes before it clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooper Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hey Kavik, my dopey ACD X worked it out pretty quickly Give it a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURBOTERROR Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Yes it great fun !!! infact my dad has offered to take in one of my dogs in the herding ring on sunday ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Unfortunately this weekend is VERY busy (and the last few weekends have been too!). I have a Hen's night on Saturday and then the Million Paws Walk on Sunday with work. I pick up the new pup on Friday afternoon. Will post pics then! Might try to make it to the next one. Diesel is not overly motivated by many things, so I don't know how he'll go. I know the Kelpie should be able to do it - just need to find a good place.

Pat Smith Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 We have had a change, the Beardie Club can no longer take the Shepherds but Hawkesbury Herding Club will take as many as we can throw at them, so I've been told. Venue, the Showground opposite the airforce base at Richmond, off Racecourse Rd. Time, Saturday mornings, from 9 am. Because the Club is not run under the CC's umbrella, membership of the club is required for insurance purposes. For further information, please email me.

Mooper Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 feralpup, I've heard of herding days at Echuca but I have no idea where that is And I know that some DOLers meet up at Tullamarine for herding. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J... Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Thanks Mooper - Echuca's on the border of NSW/Vic (Echuca - Moama) which is about 3.5 hour drive..... thats without piddle breaks :D Tullamarine is a bit closer so will keep my eyes peeled! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooper Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 No worries, feralpup. I think DOL member herding_guy runs the Tullamarine sessions ... hunt through the archives of this part of the forum and I'm sure more info will come to light! Sorry for going off-topic, Pat Smith Hope the Erskine Park and Richmond herding is all going well. I haven't seen any GSDs herding yet, just Belgians so far out of the sheps.

Bindibu Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Mooper, the GSDs are doing great in herding - Judy Attwater's Registered GSD was one of the first GSD in NSW to obtain a Herding Title, and four other registered GSDs in the New England Area have their HIC's. Have a look in the Victorian Herding Assoc. website as all results are placed on that Web. it is very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
