Don't forget to get your entry in for the herding instinct tests held Wednesday and Thursday at the National. The correct forms with the correct information are available at http://gsdca.org/gsdca_joomla/index.php/events/national-information/herding-trials or www.gsdcaherding.com the minimum age is 9 months, so you could test that up and coming star. And if you want to put a smile on your veteran's face - sign him/her up for an outing with sheep. If you are going to be there early for the Tuesday specialties, wander over to the unique and lifelike C-course trials - where the course directors have included the fairground's roads and grassy areas into the trial course. And if you want to see A course sheep or duck classes or the HT/PT test levels, they are held just a litle over 2 hours away on Sat/Sun before the national. So take full advantage of all of the many activities offered this year at the Ohio National.
