Eunice Gerloff is again hosting a sheep tending camp December 27-Jan 2. Bring your dog to work off all those holiday calories and learn about our breed's original occupation for the new year! Eunice's facilities are great, she has lots of sheep and lots of different areas to work your dog as well as a chance to escape the winter blues. She holds a number of AKC, AHBA, and USBCA (BC trials maybe not that exact organization) trials there throughout the course of the year as well as different clinics. If you are interested in doing C course or HGH this is the type of sheep herding you and your dog need to learn. It is also a very relaxing, calm, and beautiful way to manage livestock and the GSD is the Cadillac of the tending breeds. The clinic is open to beginners as well as experienced handlers but limited to 7 dogs per day so that everyone will have the opportunity to work a couple times a day. You can enter one day or all days, but there will be a discount for those entered all days. There are plenty of sheep and plenty of areas to work more than one dog at a time. I've worked dogs in tending since 1990. I've competed successfully with my own dogs winning both AKC trials and HGH. I have coached handlers that have successfully earned all AKC titles, HT through HX, and HGH. If you are interested in working your dog or just coming out to spectate and see what tending is all about contact myself (firethorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) or Eunice at egtxranch@xxxxxxx . She also has a website www.endgateranch.com Hope to see you there Susan Susan w.
