Herding Instict Trial - Glen Rose, TX

The club had 5 Swissy's entered in the Herding Instinct Test at the Nolan River Show in Glen Rose, TX last weekend.   This was an AKC Herding Instinct Test put on by the German Shepherd Club of Ft. Worth.  In order for a dog to earn their Herding Instinct Certificate a dog must show herding instinct in two tests by two different judges. Three Swissy's earned their Herding Instinct Certificate and two Swissy's earned 1 leg towards their Herding Instinct Certificate. It was a lot of fun watching the dogs instincts take over!
