Herding

[Jeanne]

I have 4 Shelties and I'd like to have them tested for Herding instincts.
I live in TN but I am willing to travel.

Anybody out there know of a place to do this?

Thanks,

Jeanne

Two places in North Carolina that I know of. Claire Apple in Pittsboro will be happy to test and train your dogs, the other place is Findley Vue Farm in Burlington, NC.

Depends on how "official" you want it to be. If you are looking for official pieces of paper from AKC or AHBA, your travel will be a bit further. But if you just want to see how your dogs do on stock, Claire is a wonderful resource.

I train in Berryville, VA, which is up near the West VA line, so probably a bit of a hike for you.

Definitely a hike but I took Olive to two farms for her AKC HIT and I liked Keepstone the best of the two

Well, come on up. Here is the events list:

We have a few AKC trials coming up in upcoming months, and one AHBA trial. Plenty of opportunity!
