Msg: #4 in digest Subject: Test performance From: Sally Hayden <sallyhayden5@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2011 20:52:49 -0600 Then all performance dogs should be. Tested to be sure their conformation meets the standard Sally www.embroiderybysally.org CHRISTMAS SALE ********************************************* Maybe a working do class at the Nationals for dogs with advanced performance titles!! Seriously I have asked the same question as Sara. When I was actively herding, my goal was to have a conformation champion that was also a herding champion, but I didn't know what lines to go to because it seemed like most conformation people were only interested in the HIC. To me, the HIC doesn't really prove that a dog has what it takes mentally or physically to stand up to the training a become good herders. Now I will leave you guys alone.
