A bit of history to go with this brag... Back in 2012 the AKC introduced a new title in herding, called the Master's title. This is similar to the Master's in agility, or the RAE, or the UDX in obedience. Once you achieved a trial title, if you qualified 8 more times you could earn the Master's title. All such legs had to be earned after Jan 1, 2012. The title could be earned at any of the 3 levels of herding (Started, Intermediate, or Advanced), and on any of the courses or stocks (ie sheep, ducks or cattle). So my boy PAM Juno vom Binderhaus: CGC, TC, CDX, RE, HT, HSAsd, HIAsd, HXAs, HSCs, HICs, HXCsM, BH,TR1, HCT, JHD, HTAD1g, HTAD2sg, HTD1s, HTD2s, RLF1s, RLF2s,RLF3s, OAJ, AJP, TDI, OFA H&E. (CHIC) Top 10 ATAA Sire 2011 who also happens to be the 2012 GSDCA Herding Victor has been competing at the Advanced level in C course since Jan 2012. Recently in March 2013 he completed the requirements for his Advanced C Master's title and I submitted the 'proof' to the AKC. I had a suspicion that he just might be the first male GSD to earn this title, so I called the AKC for the official word. The official word from AKC is that Juno is the FIRST dog of ANY breed to earn their Master's title in Advanced C sheep work!!! How neat that of all the tending breeds (the ones that compete in "C" course) it is a GSD who earned the first title! I'm as pleased as punch!!
