I know most of you are not on the herding lists and that many of you have expressed interest in herding. I am posting here information that was posted on the Tending list. I trust that Carol and Susan will not object to me posting the information here. The German Shepherd Dog Club of Oregon is hosting an AKC Herding Seminar. It will be held at Brigand's Hideout in Battleground Washington on August 26th and 27th. The Saturday seminar meets the requirements for AKC Herding Test/Trial judges. The Sunday seminar will focus on AKC's "C" course. Both days are open to anyone who is interested in learning more about AKC's herding program. More information and a registration form can be found: http://www.gsdcoregon.com/06judgesem.pdf Carol If you have never attended an AKC herding seminar it is well worth it, regardless of the course you run on. You will learn not only what the judges are looking for but also your rights and responsibilities as an exhibitor. While AKC judges must attend every three years, I believe anyone who is interested in the AKC program should attend, especially if you are just starting out in herding. This is an inexpensive seminar. The presenter is the AKC Rep Carol Delsmen. She is a former educator and tries hard to present the materil in an interesting dn engaging way...you may even be asked to do a bit of role playing. Brigands is a great site, very convenient to Portland airport and I-5. Susan And a reminder -- the GSDCA C-Course Herding National will be held at Brigand's at the end of September. There are quite a few GSDs herding at Brigand's and this is your chance to learn about the AKC Herding Program and see all levels of C-course demonstrated. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
