Or has that been dropped since there are the AKC titles....Please send information as I am way out of touch with what what is required for the first level of herding. I have an owner that would like to get the Herding Instinct Certificate on her dog. Thanks kay ================================================================ Kay, You may want to contact Dorothy Linn who is in charge of the Herding program at the Concord National. I believe she was trying to assess whether to take sheep to Concord (easy for the exhibitors but very bad for the sheep); or offer the Instinct Test in Durham (not convenient for the exhibitors but the sheep would love it) You may contact Dorothy at _linnloch@xxxxxxxxxx (mailto:linnloch@xxxxxxxxx) Good luck.
