Oooo, I'm looking back to the mid & late 90s. There may have been a dozen or more total that she hauled around, now I think of it. For the "test" it was just an average sized group in a working pen for the individual competition of each dog, not bunches of sheep milling about ad nausiem on a huge piece of land tho. So, no I guess it wasn't the big full trial. I wanted to say folks will travel with them.

There are some cases where you can get a flock trucked in. The sheep should have time to settle in. I am sure when there was herding at Perry the sheep came from somewhere. Norma - I suspect if you only had 6 sheep you did not have a full trial.

As I posted before, we opened the herding phase of it to all breeds rather than just our GSDs, though we were a GSD only club. It really helped a lot & was very popular. This woman trains at her own place, but had no problem bring a half dozen sheep to our park for the week end's competition. ********************************************************** ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
