The premium lists for the Herding Trials at the National are posted on GSDCA.Org (Events>National Information>Herding Trials) The entries are open and coming in. NOVA: There are 3 chances for you to earn either an HT or PT and be ready for your AOE or PAM. There are 5 chances for trial level runs. And if you herd ducks, they are offered also. SPRINGFIELD: There are 2 C-course trials over a very unique course that takes advantage of the fairground's environment, making this a more "real life" experience. If you want to see top level C-Course dogs doing the breed's historical job, here is a great chance. HERDING INSTINCT TESTING: Never been near sheep? Want to see if your dog has herding instinct? We are offering 2 days of testing, 2 styles of testing, and you can either get the informal GSDCA single try certificate, or the AKC's 2-run HIC certificate. If you know you want to test your dog, enter early. If there are openings, we will take day of event entries. But to be sure, enter early. Make your National experience complete and add sheep to your schedule.
