Herding
Capability Test
"There is no doubt in my mind that
the genuine and noblest vocation for the shepherd dog is tending flocks." - Max von
Stephanitz

the famous Kirschental Kennel in Germany.

On March
18th, 2000, Tag passed his American Herding Breed Association Herding Capability Test
first leg. I knew nothing about herding but with the help of Terry Parrish, the
tester, I came out knowing a little bit more. Tag on the other hand seemed to know
what to do with those sheep! |
