Wow - sounds like a terrific chance for all to learn about tending. What a wonderful way to spend the weekend with your dog. Having 8 sessions available, I bet you could get quite a few talented dogs and owners ready for HT/PT at the National. Fun and productive - how great is that??? Premium lists for HT/PT at the National are on GSDCA.org>Events>National Information>Herding Trials>A Course Premium List . You can't do better than get your first titles at the National. And you would have 3 chances to try for your 2 required legs. HT and PT are titles and count for your AOE, Dual Title Award, etc. A Course events are held Sat, Sunday, Monday at Nova.
