The Shepherd at Work - Herding

Herding is a relatively new discipline to the Shepherd world and is being very enthusiastically followed by a small group of members. This group includes Erica Hogan, Lorraine Simpson, Heather Lade, and Urs Rhyn who have been training for the past 18 months. One of the major drawbacks for the group is finding suitable grounds for training, and someone willing to lend them a few sheep to train with. Nevertheless they have all passed the Herding Instinct Test, and a couple of entered and passed the first official trial held in Victoria. [The Herding Instinct Test is a pre-requisite to trialing, and is recognised by the VCA, and conducted under ANKC rules].
