Just a quick reminder to send your comments in - it was posted in the AKC news column this week... It's been 15 below out at the farm (and dark)... no herding lately for this fair weather team (we need +5 or 10, maybe next weekend!) Have fun in the balmy south... Sharon Notice to the Herding Community Print This Article <javascript:PopIt('/news/blocks/print_article.cfm?article_id=3100', 800, 600)> [Tuesday, January 02, 2007] The 2006 Herding Advisory Committee is announcing its deadline for receiving input from the herding fancy The 2006 Herding Advisory Committee would like to thank the herding community for the many suggestions that have been submitted in the past 5 months. The committee has now received and organized more than 200 suggestions, and it is currently in the process of writing possible amendments to the current AKC Herding Regulations. To concentrate on that process, the committee would like to stop the submission of any new suggestions from the herding fancy after January 31, 2007. At the completion of our first draft (which we expect will take several months), the committee will be posting its initial recommendations on these web pages. At that time, again, the committee will call upon the herding fancy to get feedback before formulating its final recommendations to the Performance Events Department. While the herding community will still be able to contact the Herding Advisory Committee at hac2006@xxxxxxx <mailto:hac2006@xxxxxxx> after the January 31 deadline, the committee cannot guarantee that new suggestions will be able to receive full consideration. Thank you all for sending us your suggestions. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
